Managing ADHD-Related Anxiety and Overwhelm

Written By Laney Holtgrefe

Hi all!

Today I am bringing you reminders for self compassion and coping today. I’m a big proponent of utilizing self compassion when encountering struggles with ADHD overwhelm. I believe that like with anything modifications can be made to make the struggles that one faces feel less daunting.

How can you meet yourself where you are and give yourself some comfort, while still getting your tasks done?

Here are some ideas for getting you started:

  • Practicing mindful self-compassion instead of self-criticism.

  • Creating a sensory-friendly calming routine (weighted blankets, noise-canceling headphones).

  • Learning to pause and reframe anxious thoughts.

If you are struggling with ADHD overwhelm and a desire to be more mindful keep an eye out for ADHD therapy groups! Feel free to scroll down on the “Contact Laney” page for the ADHD Group Therapy waitlist signup.

Take good care,
