I feel burnt out emotionally really easily. Is this ADHD or something else?

Yes. Emotional burnout is very common because regulating emotions requires ongoing effort in ADHD. Masking, self correction, and internal pressure accumulate over time.
Burnout can happen even when life looks manageable on the outside. Emotional exhaustion is often the first sign.
This is not weakness. It is a predictable outcome of chronic effort without enough support.
