Are You Any Good at Endings? (Because I’m Not)

I’ve never been great at endings. Give me the second part of a trilogy any day—where the stakes are high but the story hasn’t wrapped up. No heartbreak, no closure, just the comfort of being in the middle.

But real life doesn’t let us skip to the last page. Endings are inevitable, and for ADHD brains, they can hit harder than we expect shaking routines, stirring emotions, and leaving us unsure how to sign off. Whether it’s wrapping up a creative project, saying goodbye to a collaboration, or stepping away from something awkward, endings demand more brain energy than we sometimes have to spare.

The good news? We can build small rituals that make them less jarring learning to name the moment, mark it, and find our own version of “done enough.”
