Abbie Chatfield has collapsed over her struggle with ADHD.

The reality star opened up on an episode of her podcast this week about the difficulties she has faced since being diagnosed with the disorder.

The 27-year-old recalled an incident where she missed her flight because her ADHD caused her to be distracted.

“I’m tired of my ADHD f***ing with my life,” she said.

“Yeah, just not like, good at nothing and unable to organize my life as a really functioning adult,” she continued.

She burst into tears and sobbed, “I felt like fucking me… like an incompetent, just, uh, stupid girl.”

Abbie explained that she recently burst into tears at the airport after realizing she had to pay more than $2,000 for flights after forgetting to check her boarding pass.

“And then people will say, ‘You should have checked your boarding pass!’ And it’s like, “Yeah, so I have a brain problem that prevents me from doing that.”

ADHD is a neurological disorder that affects one in 20 people and results in poor impulse control and focus, according to the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne.

In August, Abbie said her recent diagnosis had been met with skepticism because she didn’t have the typical “disruptive” symptoms associated with the condition.

“Many of my friends have recently been diagnosed with ADHD. Is it something that is really undiagnosed in women?’ Abbie asked psychologist Steph Georgiou.

“I’m so tired of my ADHD f***ing with my life,” she cried. ‘Yeah, just not fun, good at nothing and not being able to organize my life as a really functioning adult’

Georgio said that many young girls who struggle with ADHD at school usually show themselves “hiding” by sitting in the back of the class so as not to be noticed.

Abbie confirmed that this was indeed her school experience as she was a “goody two-shoes” and the two discussed how this behavior could lead to a delayed diagnosis.

Abbie revealed in May that she had “finally” been diagnosed with the condition at age 26.

The news was confirmed on her Hot Nights With Abbie radio show, and she said she had been trying to get a diagnosis for her symptoms for 18 months.

Abbie is one of Australia’s most in-demand influencers and media personalities.

In addition to her popular radio show and podcast, she has endless lucrative endorsement deals on Instagram and is a judge on The Masked Singer Australia.
