Why Do I Always Catastrophise? (ADHD Anxiety & Worst-Case Thinking)

Why Do I Always Catastrophise? (ADHD Anxiety & Worst-Case Thinking)

Why does your brain always jump to the worst-case scenario?


In this episode, I talk about catastrophising in AuDHD and ADHD — why your mind goes straight to “what if everything goes wrong?” and why it’s not as irrational as it feels.


We explore:

– catastrophising and worst-case thinking in ADHD & AuDHD

– anxiety, pattern recognition, and past experiences

– why your nervous system expects danger or rejection

– overthinking, spiralling thoughts, and emotional intensity

– how to gently ground yourself when your brain runs ahead


If your mind turns small things into big fears, or you find yourself stuck in “what if” loops — you’re not alone.


This isn’t about being dramatic.

It’s about a brain that’s trying to stay safe.
