Living with ADHD can indeed be challenging, particularly when it affects your ability to organize, communicate, and manage daily tasks. The experiences you’ve described—difficulty with social interactions, losing track of conversations, forgetting tasks, and feeling overwhelmed by daily responsibilities—are common among people with ADHD. Here are some strategies that might help
:1. Medication Management: If you’re on medication for ADHD, keeping a consistent schedule and using reminders can help. A pill organizer and setting alarms on your phone might reduce the risk of losing or forgetting medication. 2. Organizational Tools: Using planners, calendars, and apps can help keep track of appointments and tasks. Digital reminders and lists can be lifesavers for managing daily activities and responsibilities. 3. Mindfulness and Meditation: Regular mindfulness practice can improve focus and reduce the tendency to drift off during conversations. Apps like Headspace or Calm can guide you through meditation exercises. 4. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT can be very effective for managing ADHD symptoms. It can help you develop strategies for organization, time management, and improving social interactions. 5. Social Skills Training: Working with a therapist on social skills can help you learn how to manage conversations better, reduce interruptions, and improve listening skills. 6. Diet and Exercise: Regular physical activity and a balanced diet can improve overall mental health, which in turn can help manage ADHD symptoms. If meal planning is difficult, consider meal kits or simple, repeatable meals to reduce the cognitive load. 7. Routine and Structure: Establishing a consistent daily routine can create a sense of order and reduce the chaos. Even small routines, like setting a specific time for yoga or journaling, can provide structure. 8. Support Systems: Lean on friends, family, or support groups for help and understanding. Sometimes, simply having someone to share your struggles with can make a significant difference. 9. Professional Help: Working with a psychiatrist or psychologist who specializes in ADHD can provide you with tailored⬤
This is what I said:
More on ADHD, social issues, talking too much and not making sense, not introducing topics, confusing people completely, interrupting, asking questions and then not listening, spacing out and not hearing people’s answers. Supposed to listen for their job and most of the time can listen, but then after listening, completely lose track of listening and start going on and on. It’s so hard to describe and the anxiety and stress and depression and everything else that comes from it and the trauma and the fear are caused all by this. And it’s torture to write things. It’s torture to keep track of things. It’s torture. I don’t plan meals. I don’t go to the grocery store and pick things out and then go home and cook them. Some days I never cook. Some days I eat two things. Some days I forget that someone in my house needs to eat, so I look in the freezer and find something to heat up in the microwave. The kitchen is always a mess. Sometimes I do the dishes and clean it up. Sometimes I don’t. I have no idea where anything is. Right now I’m probably looking for four things. Twice I lost medications. Once I had to have the doctor prescribe a different dosage of the same medication because I had lost the rest of the medications. Then I completely lost another one the other day and I can’t find it anywhere. I just posted those pictures in my studio. Right now I’m probably wasting time. It’s quarter past five and I have until seven to figure out what the priorities are and what to do. I probably won’t figure them out. I do my yoga class Tuesday mornings and that means that I don’t have to think about doing yoga in the night. Otherwise, by ten o’clock I haven’t done my yoga. Ten, eleven, eleven-forty. For a while I was writing in a journal every morning when I woke up. Now I’m not doing it. I try very hard to deliberately not say much in a conversation and make a plan to say one sentence or yes or no and avoid topics, avoid talking. If I start talking, meaning to make sense and make it short, it just goes on. Do I change any of these things no matter how hard I try? Have I messed up appointments and even got a Zoom meeting all ready? I set an alarm for it and then someone’s going to be there in five minutes and suddenly they’re waiting because I haven’t looked up to see that it’s been five minutes and they’re ready to enter the Zoom in order to tell me that they think they have ADHD.
