Too Much, Too Fast

The feeling arrives before you can catch it - already at full volume, already flooding through you.

A short reply you read as rejection. A small mistake that spirals into “I’m a failure.” An argument where the words are out of your mouth before the thinking part of you is even in the room. If your emotions come in too big, too fast, and too hard to hold, you have probably spent your life being told you’re too sensitive, too intense, too much.

You are not too much. And your feelings were never the problem.

Too Much, Too Fast is a warm, compassionate guide for adults whose ADHD hearts feel everything at full volume. This isn’t about feeling less - the depth that floods you is the same depth that lets you love and empathize so completely. It’s about no longer being destroyed by feeling.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• Why your emotions arrive with no “dimmer switch” - and why that’s neurological, not immaturity
• How to understand and soften rejection sensitivity (RSD), the searing pain over small things
• How to catch the shame spiral before it swallows you
• Why emotion can hijack your thinking mind, and what to do in the window before it does
• How to ride the wave of a feeling instead of being slammed by it
• How to reach a flooded feeling through the body, repair after a rupture, and let safe people help you steady

Each chapter ends with Gentle Practices - small, kind experiments you can try when you have the capacity, and skip without guilt when you don’t.

You don’t have to trade your intense heart for a quieter one. You only have to stop being swept away by it.

Your heart was never the problem. This book will help you find your footing inside it.
