The Sunday Scaries Hit Different With ADHD
It is Sunday night in Arvada. The kids are in bed. The house is quiet. And instead of relaxing, you are staring at the ceiling running through everything you did not get done this week. The emails you forgot to send. The bill you missed. The project at work that is already behind. The guilt lands like a weight on your chest.
Everyone gets the Sunday scaries sometimes. But with ADHD, it is every single week. Because you know that no matter how hard you try, next week is going to look a lot like this one. You will start strong on Monday. By Wednesday, things will slip. By Friday, you will be scrambling. And by Sunday night, the cycle starts again.
Arvada is a family town. Olde Town shops, good schools, quiet streets. But the quiet is the hardest part when you have ADHD. Because that is when your brain gets the loudest.
When the Chaos Is All Inside Your Head
From the outside, your life looks normal. Maybe even good. But inside, your brain never stops. You are replaying conversations from three days ago. You are planning tomorrow while trying to be present tonight. You are carrying a mental load that nobody else can see.
If your brain feels like it is running a hundred tabs at all times, that is worth looking into. Take our free 2-minute ADHD screening and find out if there is a reason for the constant noise.
Not Sure If It's ADHD?
Our free screening takes about 2 minutes. It's based on the same tool doctors use. No commitment, no cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Sunday night the worst?
ADHD brains struggle with transitions. Sunday night is the biggest transition of the week -- from freedom to structure. The anxiety of knowing you will have to perform again tomorrow builds up fast.
Can ADHD cause anxiety?
Yes. Many people with ADHD also have anxiety -- often because years of struggling to keep up creates a constant stress response. Treating the ADHD often helps the anxiety too.
I have a good job and a family. Do I really need treatment?
Having a good life does not mean you are not struggling. If ADHD is making everything harder than it needs to be, treatment can help you actually enjoy what you have built instead of just surviving it.
What does treatment actually change?
People often say the noise in their head gets quieter. Tasks feel possible instead of overwhelming. They stop losing things as much. They are more patient with their kids. Small changes that add up to a different life.
Can I be seen this week?
Yes. Many people get in the same day they call. Reach out at (855) 468-2343 and we will find a time that works.
