Personal challenges
People with ADHD often find it difficult to get into a hobby or interest or find that they can be very passionate about something but then quickly become interested in something else. People can get drawn into endless scrolling and get frustrated with themselves for not being able to develop more healthy strategies to cope with stress.

Challenges at work

Challenges at work
Many people with ADHD struggle to reach their potential at work because of the challenges they face in managing time, resources, and relationships. People who have ADHD don’t just struggle to pay attention, they can also ‘hyper focus’ meaning they find it difficult to stop a task and budget their time.

Challenges in relationships

Challenges in relationships
It can be very difficult to maintain relationships and meet your partner’s needs at the same time as ensuring your own needs are met. Impulsivity can be very difficult to manage and lead to many arguments – knowing if you have ADHD can help others understand that this can’t always be helped.

Challenges at home

Challenges at home
Keeping on top of housework, finishing DIY projects, dealing with bills and doing the chores are a very different challenge for people with ADHD. While many of us will dislike these kinds of tasks, ADHD makes them incredibly difficult despite the very best efforts. The stress that often comes from feeling these jobs are mounting up can be very distressing.
