🧠 ADHD Isn’t Just “Being Distracted”
For many teens and adults, ADHD can feel exhausting—racing thoughts, impulsivity, restlessness, difficulty starting tasks, and the constant pressure of trying to “keep it together.”

And sometimes… people cope the only way they know how.

🍷 Self-medicating can look like:

Overusing alcohol or ma*****na to “slow the brain down”

Relying on caffeine or ni****ne to focus

Binge eating, shopping, or scrolling to escape overwhelm

Using substances to manage anxiety, stress, or emotional intensity

The problem is that self-medicating often creates a cycle of shame, dependence, and worsening symptoms over time.

💛 The good news? Help is available.
ADHD is treatable, and therapy can make a real difference—especially when ADHD overlaps with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or emotional dysregulation.

At Lighthouse Counseling, we help clients:
✅ Understand their ADHD brain
✅ Build practical coping skills and routines
✅ Improve emotional regulation
✅ Reduce unhealthy coping habits
✅ Address underlying stress, trauma, or burnout
✅ Strengthen confidence and self-control

You don’t have to keep white-knuckling life.

📩 If you’re struggling—or if someone you love is—reach out. We’re here to help.
