Mind & Feelings

Name it. Reframe it. Rest it.

ADHD is not just an attention disorder. It comes with Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, a harsh inner critic, intrusive thoughts that hijack working memory, and emotional dysregulation that feels out of proportion. These seven tools give the emotional experience somewhere to go — and offer the brain the counter-evidence it needs when the inner voice lies.

The apps

🧠 Park It

A thought ambushed you mid-task? Type it, hit Enter — the box clears. The thought is caught so your working memory can let it go and return to what you were doing.

✅ Done List

The anti-to-do list: log only what you actually did. End each day with a concrete list of proof that you accomplished things — the antidote to the ADHD experience of "I worked all day and have nothing to show for it."

💬 Kind Voice

Type the mean thing your brain just said. Kind Voice names the cognitive distortion it contains and offers a gentler, truer reframe. Not toxic positivity — just accuracy.

🌧️ Worry Window

Park a worry in a scheduled window so it stops looping now. Logs the worry with a date; later, you can see how many worries came true (almost none). Evidence-based worry-containment.

🌿 Grounding

A calm 5-4-3-2-1 sensory grounding walk: five things you can see, four you can hear, three you can touch, two you can smell, one you can taste. Clinically-evidenced technique for returning to the present from emotional spirals.

🫙 Win Jar

Drop good moments in the jar as they happen. On a bad day, pull one out at random. Concrete counter-evidence against the RSD filter that turns every bad day into "everything is always bad."

💌 TellMeLater

Write a sealed letter to your future self. It stays locked until the delivery date you set. On that day it arrives like mail from your past — proof that your past self was thinking of you. Builds the sense of self-continuity that ADHD disrupts.

The neuroscience — why this pack works

Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD). Described by William Dodson, MD, RSD is an intense emotional response to perceived or real rejection or failure, experienced by ~99% of adults with ADHD. It is not a mood disorder — it is an ADHD trait linked to norepinephrine dysregulation. Kind Voice, Win Jar, and Done List all directly address RSD distortions.

Working memory intrusions. ADHD working memory is a leaky buffer — off-topic thoughts intrude because the inhibitory system (right prefrontal cortex) is underactive. Park It externalises the intrusion, allowing the inhibitory system to release it rather than suppress it (which requires more effort and fails more often).

Cognitive distortion patterns in ADHD. Adults with ADHD show higher rates of catastrophising, all-or-nothing thinking, and personalisation than neurotypical controls (Knouse et al., 2008). Kind Voice’s cognitive-behavioural reframing targets these specific distortions.

Emotional dysregulation as a core ADHD feature. Meta-analyses (Shaw et al., 2014) show emotional dysregulation is as common in ADHD as inattention and hyperactivity. Grounding’s 5-4-3-2-1 technique is a frontline clinical technique for interrupting the amygdala-driven spiral.

Temporal self-continuity. ADHD reduces felt connection between past and future selves — the future feels unreal, and the past feels disconnected. TellMeLater’s letter format directly exercises temporal self-continuity, making the future self feel like a real, reachable person worth protecting.

Metacognitive awareness deficit. The "I accomplished nothing" experience in ADHD is a metacognitive failure — the brain doesn’t automatically track and register completed tasks. Done List and Win Jar create an external metacognitive record, providing the evidence the internal system fails to generate.
