Leaning Into Faith When Your Brain is a Dumpster Fire
Faith-Based and Biblical Remedies for ADHD, Anxiety, and Overwhelm
ADHD Support for Overwhelmed Minds
Welcome to Simply Remain — a place offering faith-based ADHD support for Overwhelmed Minds — spiritual tools for those who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or scattered. It’s a place for people who often find themselves in a state of mental combat — ADHD, anxiety, procrastination, and the occasional existential crisis all fighting for space in your head. It’s for those who always seem to get distracted by their phone, the tasks of the day, or a jar of pens that needs organizing RIGHT NOW. The people who can be having a great day, only to have it go completely down the tubes over nothing at all.
These things are real, and they affect a LOT of people every day. We’re here to help you tap into the truth that you’re not crazy, not lazy, and certainly not beyond grace. You’re just a different kind of human. The world treats these symptoms with counseling and drugs, and those things can help. But it can also be a spiritual issue. Jesus says “Remain in me,” which also means “stick with me,” or “return to me.” These words are for those seeking both practical and spiritual ADHD support — a reminder that you’re not alone in the noise.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”
— Matthew 11:28-29
DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?
- CONSTANT MENTAL NOISE
- STARTING FIVE THINGS, FINISHING NONE
- SITTING FOR HOURS, UNABLE TO START
- HYPERFOCUSED, BUT ON THE WRONG THING
- EMOTIONAL OVERREACTION TO SMALL THINGS
- PARALYSIS WHEN YOU SHOULD GET MOVING
- AVOIDING THINGS UNTIL THEY BECOME A CRISIS
- FEELING SPIRITUALLY NUMB OR DISCONNECTED
- WONDERING IF YOU’RE JUST BROKEN
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?
You may think you’re broken, or just lazy. More likely, the reality is that you are living with a brain that was never built for the way this world expects you to function. The scattered thoughts, the paralysis, the shame spiral — they’re real. But they don’t mean that you’ve failed in any way. Let’s explore what’s actually going on beneath all that mental noise — ADHD, executive dysfunction, emotional overwhelm — and why understanding it is the first step to fixing it. Simply Remain brings you ADHD Support for Overwhelmed Minds.
Let’s explore what’s actually going on beneath all that mental noise — ADHD, executive dysfunction, emotional overwhelm — and why understanding it is the first step to healing. You’ll also find that many of these struggles benefit from biblical ADHD support that integrates both faith and psychology.
PUTTING A LABEL ON IT
Because You Can't Solve a Problem Until You Define It
Emotional Whiplash: When a Good Day Goes Down the Tubes
Everything’s fine until it’s not. One comment, one mistake, one email—and suddenly you’re spiraling into a pit of despair. This post explores emotional dysregulation and why some brains respond to little things like they are DEFCON 1. There’s grace for that too.
Overwhelm: When Right Now is Suddenly Way Too Much
Sometimes it’s not one big thing—it’s everything all at once. Emails, chores, noise, too many people talking at the same time. Your brain hits capacity and suddenly even fun stuff feels like work. Here’s why that happens, and how to find your footing again.
Lack of Focus or Hyperfocus… Which One is it Today?
Struggling to focus doesn’t make you lazy. You’re not weak—you’re wired differently. God sees past the clutter to your heart, and meets you with grace where your focus runs thin. This isn’t failure. It’s part of being human. And you’re not facing it alone.
Procrastination – Why Do I Put Things Off?
Most people call it procrastination, but it’s way more than that. It’s a constant battle. It’s not that you don’t want to do it—you just can’t make yourself START it. That’s not laziness, that’s called executive dysfunction. And it’s way more common than you think.
Staring Into the Fridge Again: ADHD and Brain Fog
Lost your keys again? Forgot what you were saying mid-sentence or why you walked into the room? You’re not broken—you’re just out of RAM. Let’s talk about memory, mental fatigue, and what God says about remembering what matters most.
Masking: The Exhausting Art of Pretending to Be Fine
When someone asks how you’re doing, the answer is always “GOOD!” We smile, nod, and push through, but inside we’re melting. Masking neurodivergency hides our struggles to fit in, but it’s draining. You don’t have to be a performer to have peace.
FAITH IN ACTION
Starting with God — Because Peace Begins at the Source
Before the chaos hits, before your mind runs wild, start with Him. Worship. Pray. Listen. The beginning of peace is turning your heart toward God first thing. This post explains why how you begin your day often shapes everything else.
God Knows Your Heart, and He Loves You.
You don’t have to explain yourself to God. He already sees the real you—the part you hide, the pain you carry, the mistakes you regret. And still, He stays. This post explores how His love meets you where you are—not where you think you should be.
There Are No Accidents — Not When God Is in Charge
Nothing in your life is random. Even the delays, detours, and disappointments carry meaning when you let God lead. This article helps reframe your struggles through the lens of faith and shows how God’s hand is often clearest in hindsight.
WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT?
Leaning Into Faith – God Says “Give Me Your Burdens”
This isn’t about trying harder — it’s about trusting deeper. When your mind feels like a battlefield, faith becomes the lifeline. Let’s unpack what it really means to rely on God’s strength, not your own, in the middle of mental chaos.
Counseling, Medication, and the Grace to Get Help
You don’t have to choose between Jesus and therapy. Sometimes the most faithful thing you can do is finally talk to someone or take the meds. This post explores how counseling and medication can be part of God’s provision — not a sign that you’ve failed spiritually.
Find Some Support: You’re Not Meant to Do This Alone
You weren’t built to carry this on your own. God designed us for connection — even if you’re introverted, burned out, or don’t know where to start. You have to learn how to find soul-safe people, create honest community, and let other people into the struggle.
What do you mean, "It's a spiritual issue"?
Your struggle isn’t only mental—it’s part of the spiritual battle Scripture warns us about.
When we call ADHD and related struggles a spiritual issue, we don’t mean your symptoms aren’t real or that you just need to “pray harder.” Your brain is wired differently, and that comes with challenges. But the Bible is clear: “Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” (Ephesians 6:12). ADHD, anxiety, and distraction are real struggles of the mind and body—but they also create openings the enemy will exploit. He uses shame, confusion, and exhaustion to keep you stuck. Medicine and counseling can help, but only Christ gives the strength to resist the lies at their root. When you remain in Him, you’re not fighting alone.
THE REMAIN TOOLKIT
We created three tools to keep on your phone. We hope they'll help pull you out of the ditch when life gets just a little too crazy.
Life doesn’t usually fall apart in one big dramatic moment. More often, it unravels in the small things:
-
Things don’t go according to plan, and something unexpected knocks your day sideways.
-
The weight of tasks, expectations, or emotions builds until everything feels like too much.
- You lose focus in work, conversations, prayer, and daily life. Or you are completely focused on something that doesn’t matter.
The Remain Toolkit was created as part of our mission to offer faith-based ADHD support for real life — simple, biblical tools you can use when the noise won’t stop. For anyone living with distraction, anxiety, or the endless noise of modern life, this cycle feels familiar. You want to be productive. You want to be connected with people and stay close to God, but your attention slips, your energy drains, or your emotions spiral.
Here’s the good news: This is often a spiritual problem, and God wants to help you with spiritual things. He doesn’t demand perfect focus. He simply invites you to return.
That’s what the Remain tools are for. These three short strategies are designed to live on your phone where you can grab them at a moment’s notice. They’ll help you find your way back to God’s presence in real, everyday moments:
- Anchoring Tools — simple practices to stay grounded throughout the day.
- Storm Protocol — steps for calming the storm when life gets overwhelming.
- Distraction Reset — a quick way to return when your mind won’t stay still.
