Below are 13 life challenges that adults with ADHD may commonly experience
Adult ADHD Life Challenge 1: Difficulty with Focus & Concentration
Adults with ADHD often struggle to maintain focus on tasks, especially those that are repetitive or less stimulating. This can lead to difficulties in completing work assignments, reading, or even holding conversations.
Adult ADHD Life Challenge 2: Time Management & Organisation Issues
Managing time, prioritising tasks, and staying organised can be challenging for individuals with ADHD. They might struggle to plan their day, meet deadlines, or remember appointments.
Adult ADHD Life Challenge 3: Procrastination
Many adults with ADHD find it challenging to start tasks, especially those that they find boring or overwhelming. Procrastination can lead to increased stress and last-minute rushes to complete tasks.
Adult ADHD Life Challenge 4: Impulsivity
Acting on impulse without thinking through consequences is a common struggle for adults with ADHD. This can lead to impulsive spending, decisions, or saying things without considering the impact.
Adult ADHD Life Challenge 5: Forgetfulness
Forgetfulness extends beyond misplacing keys; it can also involve forgetting important dates, commitments, or conversations, which can strain relationships and lead to missed opportunities.
Adult ADHD Life Challenge 6: Poorly Regulated Emotions
Adults with ADHD may experience intense mood swings, including periods of irritability, frustration, and difficulty managing emotions. These emotional fluctuations can impact relationships and personal well-being.
Adult ADHD Life Challenge 7: Problems with Prioritisation
Sorting through tasks and figuring out what needs immediate attention versus what can wait can be challenging. This can lead to feeling overwhelmed by a constant influx of tasks and responsibilities.
Adult ADHD Life Challenge 8: Difficulty in Listening & Following Instructions
Adults with ADHD might struggle to listen attentively during conversations or meetings, leading to misunderstandings. Following multi-step instructions can also be a challenge.
Adult ADHD Life Challenge 9: Disorganisation & Clutter
Physical spaces like homes or workspaces can become cluttered and disorganised, making it harder to find things and maintain a productive environment.
Adult ADHD Life Challenge 10: Relationship Struggles
Adults with ADHD might have difficulties maintaining close relationships due to challenges in communication, impulsivity, and forgetfulness.
Adult ADHD Life Challenge 11: Employment Challenges
Adults with ADHD might experience difficulties in maintaining steady employment due to issues with time management, focus, and task completion.
Adult ADHD Life Challenge 12: Financial Issues
Impulsivity can extend to financial decisions, leading to overspending and financial instability.
Adult ADHD Life Challenge 13: Academic or Vocational Underachievement
Despite having potential, individuals with ADHD may struggle to perform at their best academically or in their careers due to challenges in focus and organisation.
“It’s important to remember that the 13 life challenges listed above can vary widely based on where you are on the ADHD spectrum, your environment, and your personal coping strategies. With proper understanding and support, all 13 of these adult ADHD life challenges can be managed effectively, allowing you to cope with life. Coping may not sound sexy, but if you have symptoms of Adult ADHD, you’ll know that being able to cope more effectively with everyday life will be utterly amazing.”
The 4 Steps To Help You Get To Your First Adult ADHD Yoga Class...
Step 1: Get a yoga mat
I usually get a cheap, fifteen-pound-ish, second-hand “yoga matters” mat from eBay when I’m ready for a new yoga mat to add to my collection.
I have several unfurled yoga mats throughout my house because if I only had one mat that was rolled up and neatly stored out of sight, I wouldn’t practice yoga nearly as much. If you have ADHD, a neat trick is to place “important things” in places that you can easily see and easily access!
Step 2: Click here to email me to say you’re interested in coming to the class.
When I have 10 to 15 people interested in coming to the class, I’ll find a venue in the Newcastle Emlyn area and start the class.
Step 3: Put the class day/time into your Day Planner
If you don’t have a Day Planner, I’ll be teaching you the importance of having one and will even teach you how to make a Day Planner from a cheap notebook – which is the system I use. I promise that your Day Planner will immediately become the number one coping tool in your Adult ADHD toolkit.
Step 4: Somehow get yourself to the class
If you’re anything like me when the day comes to start something new – especially something that involves mixing with fellow human beings – you’ll find a multitude of excuses not to go.
Be aware that the little voice in your head trying to talk you out of it is actually your catastrophically low levels of dopamine. I’ll be teaching you ways to increase your dopamine so that you feel happier and more energised to take on life, instead of hiding in from it.
A neat trick to increase the odds that you get in your car carrying a yoga mat and water bottle is to commit to coming along with a family member or friend. Adults with ADHD tend to have really good results when they use “accountability” as one of their ADHD tools.
