"You may also struggle with feelings of shame and guilt, as you have limited control over your responses to emotionally demanding situations," writes Hamdani, who has ADHD herself.
Living with ADHD can make it difficult to regulate your mental and emotional health.
Often, "due to emotional dysregulation, you struggle with feelings that seem bigger, more intense, and harder to control," writes psychiatrist Dr. Sasha Hamdani in her book, " Self-Care for People with ADHD ."
Hamdani's book has over 100 suggestions for people with ADHD to re-charge and manage stress.
Focus on gratitudeAppreciating what you have is "a foolproof way to become more connected with positive emotions, to handle adversity, and to cultivate healthy relationships," Hamdani writes.
