ADHD and Overwhelm
You feel like screaming. Like you are going to lose it, like you've screwed up. Again. What's really going on?
It's "overwhelm." When your system gets flooded it can feel like your brain is not working and it is impossible to get anything done. And that makes you even more overwhelmed. Why does this happen? Your ADHD brain.
Here are 6 sources of ADHD overwhelm:
Too much stimulation
Too many thoughts
Too many feelings
Too many tasks
Too much stuff
Too many logistics
What to do? Take these 4 steps to take control of your ADHD "overwhelm":
1. Notice the signs
2. Step away - Watch your self talk and breathe
3. Identify the trigger for the overwhelm
4. Take the next step to deal with your trigger and decrease the chaos - break the steps into substeps if necessary.
