11 Things That Make Adult ADHD Worse
Skipping Breakfast
If you blow off that morning meal, your symptoms could get worse. Breakfast can make it easier to handle social situations. It can also help you think and keep you focused longer early in the day. Even if your meds zap your appetite, try to eat a little something. A hard-boiled egg or carton of yogurt will do the trick.
Messy Homes and Offices
Some people say clutter is a sign of genius. Research suggests it may signal creativity. But a messy nest could make some symptoms worse. Those piles of papers, books, or laundry remind you of all the stuff you need to do. Sometimes it can be too much. On the flipside, clearing the clutter can make you more productive and ease your worries.
Too Much Stuff
Shopping can be fun, but a nonstop habit can lead to hoarding. If you have ADHD, you may find it easy to get too much stuff and hard to let it go. The good news: There’s a way to stay calm and shop on. Follow the “one in, one out” rule. If you bring in a new item into your house, you have to donate an old one.
The Wrong Meds
When your doctor diagnosed you with ADHD, were you honest about your life and symptoms? If not, you may be on the wrong treatment — and you could be worse off. Why?
- ADHD meds don’t always work well if you have substance abuse problems.
- Drugs for major depression can make ADHD worse.
- Some ADHD medications can make anxiety worse.
