Shelby’s tips seem like good ones to me, though I am no expert. But like you KristyanaElaine, I find increases in stress causes my ADD to get worse. But in my case, it is because I stop managing my ADD. When I stop managing then I start ignoring other areas in my life that are under control and soon they are in crises as well. I then self-destruct even further. I deliberately commit mental suicide by ADD. I am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I don’t give a damn anymore and I do everything wrong. As if it is deliberate. But at the same time I am mentally screaming at myself to stop, but for a while, I just can’t.
I like some of Shelby’s suggestions and I will use and experiment with them to see if they can help stop the mental death spirals I go through sometimes.
Blessing and best wishes to you both!!
