The Relationship Between Stress and ADD

Have you ever noticed that when you're stressed out, it's more difficult to get to your appointments on time?



And you tend to forget more things? Like where you put the keys...while you're already running late for that appointment.



And that during times like these, it seems like every traffic light you approach turns red and you're more likely to accidentally spill your drink all over yourself, right before you walk into that appointment?



Admittedly, there is some humor in this when you remember these experiences from a distance. :)



But isn't it true that the more stressed out you are, the harder it becomes to manage your ADD? I certainly think so.



The more stressed out you are, the more your ADD affects you in negative ways. And the more your ADD affects you in negative ways, the more stressed out you become. What a vicious circle! And we all get caught up in it.



Here's the solution: manage your stress.



Whenever you feel your ADD starting to get out of control, try shifting your focus to stress reduction. Take a walk. Go work out. Talk to a spouse or friend and process your feelings and frustrations.



Do whatever it is that you do to get your stress levels down.



You'll find that this has you feeling calmer and more in control, which in turn puts you in a better position to handle your ADD challenges.
