Kira Yakubov Ploshansky, LMFT — Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

Do you feel like you're constantly letting people down, even when you're trying your hardest? You're successful on paper, but inside you're scattered, forgetting commitments, saying yes when you mean no. The pressure to perform is relentless at work, and your relationships are strained because you're either hyperfocused on tasks or too overwhelmed to show up. Shame and guilt are constant companions. Maybe it's ADHD, maybe it's anxiety, maybe it's just how your brain works, but adulting feels impossible. Intimacy brings more stress than connection. You're exhausted from white-knuckling through life and ready to understand why.
