Some people claim that ADHD is “made up”, or a product of trauma, or smartphones, or the general collapse of Western society and its values. This is nonsense. However, because ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition related to attention, some of what people with ADHD experience every day is similar to what non-ADHD people report when they are overwhelmed - by information, by distractions, by life. In other words, when attention bandwidth is maxed out. Learning about how people with ADHD experience demands on attention - and learn to monitor and manage it - may give you some ideas on how to manage when you think you’ve had enough.
Some resources:
For our UK listeners, ADHD UK, ADDISS (the ADHD Information Services), and ADHD Adult UK have lots of information and resources about ADHD for people who experience it, and people who want to support others. You can find more on their websites:

For US listeners, CHADD (Children and Adults with ADD/ADHD) has a similar wealth of resources: https://chadd.org/
