Constantly stressed

How do you deal with stress? I’m constantly stressed and overwhelmed for no real reason because my head is too loud all the time. Waiting for adhd medication which will hopefully help but really fed up with being stressed and unable to fully relax.

  • ADHD medication may help. It has helped me because I’m less overwhelmed with sensory inputs. However, do note that my daughter got more anxious when she tried the same ADHD medication, so just be mindful that your first trial might not be the silver bullet fix to your problem.

    I do a grounding technique when I’m stressed. I think of things that I cannot control and a few that I can. It reminds me that there is always going to be things I am not responsible for (ex. the weather, other people’s feelings, etc), but there’s always something that I can manage (ex. my breathing, etc).

  • Thank you, I hope it doesn’t make me more anxious, I’m already taking anxiety medication to manage that and it’s still pretty bad. I was told I have to take it in the morning with food because it makes you have a lack of appetite. Do you have to take yours in the morning? I’d rather just take it whenever I wake up. That’s a good idea, focusing on what you can control, thank you for the suggestions.

  • I take mine when I wake up along with my antidepressants. Again, if it makes you more anxious, don’t get too worried. Just keep in contact with your GP’s office with how you are feeling.

  • The doctor told me to take it with food in the morning but I’m barely ever awake in the morning so I think I will just try taking it later and see what happens. Ok thank you for your help :)
