FRANK Pt. 2: ADHD Chaos Gets Serious (Books, Movies & Parasocial Drama)

FRANK Pt. 2: ADHD Chaos Gets Serious

Last week’s episode of Burnt Out Perfectionist kept things light with socks, crop tops, and coffee snobbery. But sometimes being frank means digging into the messier, more uncomfortable truths — and that’s what Part 2 delivers.

This week, Sara gets frankly honest about the spicier, more controversial side of ADHD chaos. From overpriced “artisan” everything to parasocial fandom drama, it’s raw, relatable, and still sprinkled with plenty of humor.

What We Covered in This Episode

Without spoiling all the rants (because you need to hear the full meltdown 😉), here are a few of the big ones:

• 💸 Bougie “artisan” culture: why everything suddenly feels overpriced
• 📚 Book cover copycats: and why we really need a spice rating system
• 🎥 Movie heartbreaks: childhood films that wrecked us (Bridge to Terabithia, My Girl, If)
• 👀 Parasocial fandoms: where admiration turns into entitlement
• 🏡 ADHD homes + perfectionism: why “messy” doesn’t mean you’ve failed

Why It Matters

This episode is the heavier side of ADHD chaos — the one where laughter meets honesty, and nostalgia collides with frustration. It’s a reminder that our ADHD brains process the world intensely: we can laugh at socks one minute and rage at fandom drama the next. Both sides are valid, and both help us connect with each other.
