Jason Biggs' estranged wife Jenny Mollen broke her silence on Monday - 11 days after they confirmed they were separating after 18 years of marriage.
In a Substack essay titled 'Don't Tell Me What It Is,' the 46-year-old content creator admitted she's always struggled with the idea of being present, which might have contributed to the split.
'I was in a rush to grow up, a rush to graduate college, a rush to land a TV show, and a billboard outside my ex-boyfriend's apartment,' Mollen recalled.
'Everywhere I've ever been has felt a little temporary, like a waiting room I'm trapped in before an operation.'
The Arizona-born blonde realized that because she was 'middle-aged with ADHD' it feels 'impossible to appreciate anything while you're in it.'
'The highest highs of my life have all hit like pennies disappearing into a bottomless well,' Mollen wrote.

'I'd wait- maybe a moment or two for the sound of something landing, but before it ever did, I was on to the next. Hoping that the next thing would finally be the one that cured me - the one that made me feel worthy and validated in a way that has always evaded me.'
The NY Times bestselling author spent Monday packing for her trip to Italy to celebrate her 47th birthday this Saturday.
'I leave for Italy on Wednesday, which sounds soooo Eat, Pray, Love considering the current state of my life,' Mollen revealed.
'But I'm not going to find myself or sleep with some beautiful Italian stranger. I already have two half-Italians at home. I'm actually just going because a friend invited me to her birthday party. It also happens to be my birthday as well.'
The 48-year-old American Pie alum will likely have custody of their two sons - Sid, 12, and Lazlo, eight - while she's out of the country.
'They are very much connected,' a source told People on May 14 of the future co-parents.
'I have no doubt that they will remain on excellent terms.'
