Five (5) Tips For Making ADHD/ADD Easier On Yourself

Dealing with ADD/ADHD is difficult on its own, but there are some things that people do that add to the difficulty. It is important to understand that as great as your scheduling and organization is, if you allow others to continuously interrupt and disturb at their leisure it can appear that your system is not working. In order to fully take advantage of all that you do to manage ADHD symptoms, those you interact with must also be put on the plan when it comes to dealing with you. Creating an environment that supports your ADD treatment is also important, but the most valuable thing that many people with add/ADHD need to do is to stop beating themselves up. Be kind to yourself. Understand that living with ADHD is something you will continue to work on. As you develop and master more coping skills things will continue to improve, but if you stumble along the way, you don’t need to beat yourself up for that.
