Dear AI, I'm ADHDrowning: How to Use ChatGPT to Stay Afloat When Your Brain Feels Like Chaos
An honest, empowering guide for ADHD adults who are overwhelmed by everyday life - and ready to let AI help.
This isn't another productivity book that tells you to "just try harder." It's a practical, compassionate toolkit for anyone who's ever looked at their to-do list and wanted to cry, freeze, or throw it in the bin.
Written by a late-diagnosed ADHDer and solo parent living with disability, Dear AI, I'm ADHDrowning shows you how to use ChatGPT as a personalised support system for your brain - not a replacement for it. Through friendly explanations, neurodivergent-aware examples, and low-effort prompts you can copy and paste, this book gives you realistic ways to reduce overwhelm, boost executive function, and create a life that works with your brain, not against it.
What You'll Learn:
Time Management That Doesn't Hurt Your Brain Use AI to help you plan gently, build flexible routines, and break through time blindness - without falling into shame spirals.
Chores, Errands, and Admin: Outsourced to AI From meal planning to email replies, learn how to offload decision fatigue and get nudged through everyday tasks.
Emotional Support in Crisis Mode Struggling to get out of bed? Melting down over a late bill? Discover prompts and techniques to help you regulate, reset, and respond with self-compassion.
Tech That Plays Nice With ADHD Link ChatGPT with smart tools like Alexa, Google Calendar, and reminders to create scaffolding that actually sticks.
Build Your AI Sidekick (With or Without Memory) Train ChatGPT to "get" you, with neurodivergent-friendly instructions and clever prompting tricks for both free and paid versions.
For ADHD Adults Who:
- Feel constantly behind, messy, or "too much"
- Want support that adapts to their needs and energy levels
- Have tried planners, apps, and advice that didn't stick
- Are curious (or overwhelmed) about AI but don't know where to start
This isn't a book about being productive at all costs. It's about surviving and thriving - with the brain you've got, and the support you deserve.
