Valentine’s Day is usually about romantic love, but in this ADHDiva (ADHD Divas) special, Hala and Rania flip the script and talk about self-love with ADHD in a way that actually helps.

If you have ADHD, especially if you were diagnosed late, self-love cannot be a one-time trend. It has to be periodic maintenance. We share a powerful analogy (your life as a house, ADHD as a roommate, and “visitors” that can turn into squatters) to explain how untreated or unsupported ADHD can feel overwhelming, lonely, and suffocating, and why reclaiming your space matters.

Then we get practical: self-love starts with respect, not motivation, compassion vs the learned inner critic, accountability vs shame, building a support system, and setting boundaries that protect your nervous system. We end with a simple recharge strategy because ADHD erases progress fast, so your wins need a home outside your brain.

ADHDiva is us, Hala and Rania, two ADHD diagnosed besties who will be your chaos companions.
