7 Signs of Anxiety Caused by Your Childhood

 Hey Psych2Goers, welcome back! If you’re currently suffering from anxiety. Have you wondered why you have anxiety? Since when have you started to get nervous all the time? In some cases, anxiety can be caused by how you were raised as a child. Your upbringing may have had a significant impact on why you experienced so much anxiety. So here are seven signs of anxiety caused by your upbringing. #1 You are self-critical. Do you pick at your flaws or criticize yourself for no reason? You may be doing it because you have critical parents. When your parents overly focus on your flaws. You may also grow up only focusing on them. According to Iancu, Bodner, and Ben Zion. Self-criticism is highly related to social anxiety disorder. You may end up blaming yourself for things that are out of your control or not your fault. #2 You have low self-esteem. Do your parents always compare you to others? Does it make you feel inadequate? Growing up in an environment where you’re constantly compared to others can harm your self-esteem. You may feel bad about yourself for failing to meet your parent’s expectations. This low self-esteem can carry on through your life… …because of the constant fear of not being good enough. #3 You think negatively. Did your parents always tell you to prepare for the worst? If they constantly focus on the worst-case scenario. Their behaviors can probably affect your mindset. While it may be normal to recognize the worst-case scenario in each situation. It can eventually lead your mind to focus on only the negative. This form of repetitive and negative thinking can generate a lot of anxiety. #4 You fear being judged. Did your parents seem to have something negative to say about everything and everyone? Having judgmental parents can have a significant impact on you. Conditioned by judgmental parents at an early age. You may struggle with worry and fear of what others think about you. Their emphasis is on the opinion of others instead of on social initiatives and family sociability. This may lead to social anxiety. #5 You are overly cautious. Did your parents tend to constantly check on you when you’re not around them? If you have overprotective parents, there’s a chance that you may be overly cautious. This is because having overprotective parents may condition you at a young age to be wary of everything. It can lead to having a certain worry and fear of things that are unknown to you. Although it can be beneficial to be overly cautious at times. It can also lead to a lot of anxiety. #6 You fear relationships. Do you find yourself scared about forming relationships? This fear may have stemmed from growing up in a separated family. Since you may fear that your current relationships will end up with the same outcome. Having neglectful parents could also cause you to fear relationships… …because it could make you think that your partner will neglect you in the same way. And #7 You doubt yourself. Have you ever said to yourself… What if I’m doing it wrong? Or am I making a mistake? Your parents’ constant criticism of your ability…can result in you developing constant self-doubt as you grow up. This will also cause you to have a higher risk of developing anxiety disorders in childhood. Do you relate to any of these signs? Let us know in the comments below!

6 Signs of Anxiety That Often Go Unnoticed

 – Hey, Psych2Go viewers, Welcome back to our channel. Do you get bouts of anxiety from time to time? This can be normal before a first date or a job interview since these emotions often subside after a while. But if your anxiety is persistent, This can be concerning. Continuing to feel very anxious, even after a date, job interview or speech can indicate something else, an anxiety disorder. Does this sound familiar? If anxiety is something that you deal with, you’re not alone. Approximately 19% of Americans have experienced an anxiety disorder, and about 31% of Americans will experience an anxiety disorder in their lifetime. Many of us usually think of sweaty palms and heart palpitations as symptoms of anxiety, but anxiety can manifest itself in other ways too. Most of the other signs go unnoticed. So, what are they? Here are six signs of anxiety that often go unnoticed. Number one, jaw pain. Have you ever noticed jaw pain from anxiety? Anxiety is usually not the first thing you may think of when you experience jaw pain or toothaches. You may usually blame a cavity or another dental problem, but jaw pain and toothaches can also be caused by anxiety. More specifically bruxism. This is when an individual unconsciously and excessively grinds or clenches their teeth. Bruxism is a by-product of stress. When we’re stressed our whole body clenches up in preparation to fight or flight, hence teeth grinding and jaw pain. Studies support this theory, stating that there is a high index of anxiety among bruxers, as opposed to non-bruxers. But anxiety is not the only mental health condition that causes this. People with depression and neuroticism can also experience toothaches as a result of bruxism. The condition is usually self-diagnosed and can be treated. Most teeth-grinding activity happens overnight. So, you may not notice that early on. Morning tooth pain is usually the first clue. If you wake up with jaw pain frequently, consider finding what is causing you stress. It may take some time but always seek help from a licensed professional if necessary. Number two is scattered thinking. Another sign of anxiety, scattered thinking. Anxiety floods, your thoughts with negativity and doubts. Often these thoughts are disruptive, and can easily make you forget your surroundings. You may come off as inattentive. While intrusive thoughts can steal your attention, there’s also another reason why you may feel scatterbrained. Anxiety can have neurological effects as well as physical ones. It affects your limbic system, specifically the prefrontal cortex. This part of the brain is known for executive functioning, but it’s also responsible for social behavior. When you’re anxious, your prefrontal cortex and other structures of your limbic systems are impaired. As a result, you may find that you lose the thread of a conversation or have trouble concentrating on a task. If this is something to deal with often, try to ground yourself in the present. There are many wonderful grounding techniques. The most popular one is box breathing. Wanna try? Okay. Breathe in for four seconds. One, two, three, four. Now hold for four. One, two, three, four. Now exhale for four. One, two, three, four. And then hold again for four. One, two, three, four. Ah! Better? I sped it up a little bit, but try to take your time with it next time. Number three, cold feet. I’m sure you’ve heard the term getting cold feet. There’s a reason this popular idiom describes being nervous. When you’re anxious, perhaps similar to right Before you get married, your body jumps into a fight or flight. This reaction triggers a cascade of neurological and hormonal shifts. One of them is that it tells your brain to release adrenaline. Adrenaline helps you redirect your blood flow so that most of it is sent to your vital organs, like your heart and lungs. Consequently, your extremities start to feel cold. Number four is irritability. Do you easily become irritated? Irritability is a common sign of anxiety. However, it’s a symptom we often overlook or ignore. It’s a sign that you’re overwhelmed with stress. Anxiety is associated with hypersensitivity, meaning that you’ll be much more sensitive to your surroundings, which may cause you to feel more irritated than usual. Number five is impulsive buying. Another sign of anxiety is impulsivity. In this case, impulse buying. However, impulsivity can manifest itself in many ways, such as engaging in risky behavior. Impulsivity because of anxiety can be due to numerous factors. The main one is that your orbital frontal cortex, another branch of your limbic system, is affected. Studies found that anxiety increases the blood flow to that region, which consequently, increases activity. An increase in activity can lead to either impulse control issues, hoarding, or impulse spending. Additionally, anxiety affects your prefrontal cortex and makes it harder for you to make wise and thoughtful decisions. Impulse buying, as well as hoarding, are also forms of self-soothing. They provide a false sense of comfort and security. If you do find yourself caving in and taking financial risks, please consider reaching out to a therapist for help. And number six, crying easily. When was the last time you cried? One last sign that goes unnoticed is crying easily. Inexplicably bouts of crying can mean you’re overwhelmed by the situation you find yourself in. Not only can it be because of a sensitivity to stress, but it can also be due to your fight or flight response. The correct terminology is fight, flight, or freeze. Feeling stuck or freezing amidst a perceived threat can progress these overwhelming feelings of stress. When you find yourself crying, attempt to relax by taking a deep breath. Then allow yourself to cry. Crying can release all of those feelings you may be holding onto. It may be great to find additional ways to self-soothe when you’re feeling anxious as well. So have you experienced any of these signs? I have. What are some self-soothing behaviors that help you? I enjoy walking. Feel free to let us know in the comments below. Anxiety is quite common and can be manageable. If you ever need help or guidance reaching out to a therapist or mental health professional can be a good idea.

9 Uncomfortable Signs You’re Healing Emotionally

 Narrator, Hey Psych2Goers, welcome back to another video Healing is not easy. There’s a lot of stigma regarding going to therapy and doing any independent inner self-work. It’s still seen as something that either weak or crazy people do, and that’s – just not true, It might not be 100 easy, but healing is a journey that leads to deep fulfillment that nothing outside of you could shake or take away. This process is very humbling, but with high risk comes high reward. During this journey, you will start to feel the growing pains of change and self-integration Keep moving forward. This discomfort is helping you move into a beautiful life in which you have a deeper sense of inner peace. Here are nine uncomfortable signs that you are healing Number one. You allow yourself to feel your emotions When you’re still stuck in survival mode. You are mostly focused on logic and what you see because emotions are painful for you to feel and process It’s hard for you to take the time and make room for your emotions to just be acknowledged and validated because it reminds you of the hurt that You would’ve liked to keep buried When you heal. You start acknowledging your negative and positive emotions because you realize that extreme focus on one is detrimental to your whole being and that you are a whole person. It’s uncomfortable at first, but as you are no longer suppressing or denying them, you see the value of your emotions and feelings and of just letting yourself sit with them and allowing them to pass Number Two. You’re getting better at expressing and maintaining boundaries When you’re not healed or in the process, you struggle with stating and enforcing boundaries because you’re afraid of rejection, feelings of shame and guilt from putting your interest first or saying what’s on your mind, It’s unusual to set firm boundaries when you’re not used to it, but once you start, it creates more healthy interpersonal dynamics, because you stated your opinions and emotions. You have the mental and emotional clarity and you are more capable of making your decisions Number three. You accept that you’ve, been through difficult experiences. Life is hard and unfair, and instead of suppressing all of the experiences that you have been through, you acknowledge and accept that they happened. You accept that these people’s place and things had a life-changing impact on you and probably still do Once. You have accepted that these uncomfortable events impacted you in their entirety. They start to hurt you less because you’ve accepted the truth and are in charge of the narrative of your life again Number four, you’re, less reactive and more responsive. When you’re in survival mode, Everything and everyone is a threat and is treated as such. Nothing is trusted and you, don’t have time to sit and logically think things through, because you are pure action needing to defend yourself constantly. Once you start healing your natural response of lashing out shutting down, running away, or people-pleasing is tested and slowly makes way for questioning your feelings and reactions. Regarding things, You even find yourself asking. Why do I think this way? Where does this thinking come from? You start practicing emotional self-regulation, self-analysis, and responsibility. Number five you realize that healing is not linear Healing is uncomfortable because you are unearthing and confronting things you would’ve preferred to keep suppressed. Once you get into the rhythm, you realize that part of that healing is that this distress is okay and normal, because it’s not a straight road to inner peace and healing You understand and has experienced the highs and lows of healing and know that the feeling of today will not match the feelings of tomorrow or even later, on Number six. You begin to step out of your comfort zone Here,’s the thing about healing It:’s, not something everyone will do. However, if you decide to it has far-reaching benefits beyond the acceptance and acknowledgment of the traumatic experience Once you are in the healing process, you are developing bravery around your emotions and your mind With this newfound conscious control. You are no longer scared by things that scared you before Scared of making a living situation change. You now are redecorating your bedroom and experimenting with paint colors. You never thought you would Go to a party you don’t know Before you would’ve recoiled at the thought, but now it’s a little less anxiety-inducing and you have a bit more confidence Number seven. You easily accept disappointments and take them in stride. Life is a balance of success and failure, light and dark ups and downs. When you’re not healing disappointments hit, you like a freight truck to the chest, knocking all of the motivation and passion out of you With healing you understand that bad days do happen and can’t be avoided, but are also temporary Any disappointments or unmet Expectations are accepted and taken in stride. You respond in better healthier ways that are less reactive Number. Eight you have more inner peace Healing brings about self-integration. If you’re a Harry Potter, fan it’s as if Voldemort brought back all of his Horcruxes and decided on becoming a better complete person who accepts the natural way of life on a soul level. And if you’re, not a fan. It’s like taking inventory of all of your experiences painful or not, and seeing yourself as the whole person You develop this inner peace because you deeply forgive yourself and you can readily forgive others too. By having this peace and integration, you are less likely to self-sabotage because you’re no longer a warring country within yourself with conflicting desires and emotions. You reconcile your inner differences. You no longer criticize and dismantle your character in your mind And number nine. You welcome help and support The independent survivor. Has a don’t ask for help mentality, maybe because they never got it when they needed it or because of the harsh rejection when they spoke up, They shut down to get by and decided to do it by themselves because they had no choice With healing You start to realize that as strong as you are, you can’t carry and do everything by yourself. You do need help and we all do and it’s available out there for you. You are more open to support and less afraid of having this need for assistance met. The pride and shame you might feel for asking for help are gone, because you know that it’s, okay, to let go of the heavy burden on your shoulders and have someone to lean on. Did you relate to any of these points? Do you feel that you are beginning to heal As rewarding as the first step of healing? You will run into the discomfort of your healing and this will try to make you stop to lessen or ignore the pain, but whatever you resist you prolong. If you are in the healing process, well done, I’m proud of you for doing this work and I hope you can find peace through it And if you’re not that’s, okay, because healing is a long process that takes time you’re still living and doing what you can Applaud yourselves. Did you find this video valuable, Tell us in the comments below Please like and share it with friends that might find use in this video too, and make sure to subscribe to Psych2Go and hit the notification bell for more content.

8 Signs of an Anxious Attachment Style

 (upbeat music) – [Narrator] Hey Psych2Go Welcome back to another video, before we start, we’d like to thank you all for the support that you’ve given us. Psych2Go mission is to make psychology and mental health more accessible to everyone, and you help us do that, so thank you, now back to the video. Are you always insecure about your relationships? Do you need constant reassurance from your partner or loved ones? Attachment theory categorizes the way we act in relationships into three-man attachment styles, in today’s video, we will be focusing on the anxious attachment style, which according to mind-body green is a type of insecure attachment style rooted in a fear of abandonment and insecurity of being under-appreciated. The anxiety or insecurities you may feel in your relationship today may be due to an anxious attachment style you developed as a child. Remember if you find yourself relating to the points we mentioned, be kind to yourself, and know that you can always work towards improving your behaviors, with that said, let’s look at the eight signs of an anxious attachment style. Number one is feeling insecure in relationships. Are you always worried about not being good enough for your partner? Does it get in the way of your happiness? A sign of an anxious attachment style is feeling insecure in your relationships, and this insecurity may manifest in several ways. For instance, you may find yourself very reactive to your partner’s words and actions, or find that you need constant reassurance from your partner to feel okay. Number two is, the looming fear of abandonment. Are you scared that your partner will leave you even when nothing is wrong? This fear of abandonment is pretty common for people with an anxious attachment. It’s likely stemming from feelings of abandonment and insecurity about your parents when you were a child. According to how Healthline this fear and worry that your partner will leave you, often results in a tendency to become overly dependent on your partner, which may negatively impact your relationship and your emotional wellbeing. Number three is trust issues. You have a hard time trusting your partner. Maybe you find it hard to believe in your partner when they say they won’t leave you, or when your friends tell you that they truly care about you, whatever it is, this difficulty to trust others may stem from a combination of feeling insecure about your relationships, and fearing that your partner or your friends are going to abandon you in time. If it gets out of hand, this distrust of others may result in losing your relationships. Number four is clinginess. Have other people called you clingy when it comes to you and your relationships, maybe you’re over-reliant, or overdependent on your friends, family, or partner. Unlike some of the other signs, clinginess can be a common coping mechanism for fears that come with the anxious attachment style. According to the attachment project, people with anxious attachment develop clinginess because they’re afraid of being alone. Number five is emotional neediness. Do you always need other people’s attention? According to Abby Moore from Mindbodygreen many people with an anxious attachment style are emotionally needy because they did not receive the proper emotional nurturing and security as a child. And this emotional neediness may manifest into behaviors where they constantly seek reassurance, soothing, and attention from the people in their life. Number six, harsh reactions to criticism. Are you the type to take criticism to heart? Does it have a strong impact on your self-esteem? While it is not uncommon to be sensitive to criticism those with an anxious attachment style might view criticism more intensely.  Instead of seeing criticism as a way to help you grow, you may take it as a rejection, and let it amplify your fears and insecurities, which may ultimately lead to low self-esteem. Number seven is ambivalence towards intimacy. Do you crave intimacy, or do you find it overwhelming? Some people with anxious attachments walk this fine line between craving and fearing emotional and physical intimacy. And this perception of intimacy may be due to emotional neglect during your childhood. So while you have a deep craving for intimacy, you may not know how to, or be comfortable with accepting it. And number eight, feeling unworthy. Do you feel unworthy of love, or that you aren’t good enough for your relationships? People with an anxious attachment may have low levels of self-esteem, and a negatively distorted view of their self-worth. This lack of self-esteem is likely to stem from insecurities and fears of being abandoned, or unwanted by your parents or loved ones, which may lead to a belief that you’re not worthy enough for your relationships. We hope you enjoyed learning about some of the signs of an anxious attachment style.

Watch This If You’re Struggling With Your Self-Worth

 Lily, Hey Psych2Goers, and welcome to another video. Thank you all so much for the love and support that you’ve given us enabling us to make yet another exploration into everyday psychology. So let’s begin. Loving yourself may sound simple, but we all know how hard it is. Sometimes it can be a roller coaster ride between being happy with yourself and wishing you could change. There are so many things that affect your image of yourself, and some of them may not be good Things such as the media set false expectations and ideals. It can be a long journey to accept this, but it’s worth it. We made this video to remind you that you should never give up on loving yourself because you deserve it and you’re worth it. So here are 12 things that do not determine your self-worth Number one. Your achievements. Can you relate to loving yourself so much when something goes well, but the second something goes wrong? Your self-worth immediately takes the plunge Whether it’s your grades, your job, or a sport. It’s easy to base your worth on what you accomplish, but how much you’re worth does not depend on your achievements, especially when it comes to competitions. You can’t control your competitors, so you don’t need to blame yourself when things don’t go your way. You are more than just a bullet-point list of all of your accomplishments. You’re a complex person with a personality hobbies and so much more than your achievements, And it all makes you worth it Number two, your income and job. Are you second-guessing your career? Do you often think of switching your job While your job plays a big part in your lifestyle? It does not determine your worth. People who have less money, aren’t lesser than others like society and the media sometimes portrays Your job and income are sometimes the result of your situation. There are so many factors that influence them like location, the economy, and competition, So they aren’t a reflection of who you are Number three, is your childhood. Do you avoid thinking about your childhood? Do the memories make you uncomfortable? Your childhood may shape a lot of things about you, but it does not determine your worth. It’s a phase well on its way out and you mustn’t. Let it overwhelm you Your rough childhood does not define who you are. After all, you have no control over who your parents are, and you’re not responsible for their choices. It may take some time to accept this, but your past does not define you Number four, your level of education, Much like your income, your level of education is also the result of so many factors, One of the biggest factors when it comes to deciding whether to Go to college, and where is how much money your family has? You can’t change, how much money your family has or the location of the schools you want na go to. Therefore, you don’t need to feel bad. If you don’t have a higher level of education, it doesn’t mean you’re, less intelligent or worth less than those who do Number Five. How do other people view and treat you? Do you constantly stress about how others see you? Are you constantly trying to live up to their standards? Other people have no way of knowing who you truly are, While family and friends may have a good idea of it. Only you fully know yourself, Knowing this your self-worth: isn’t based upon others, limited and sometimes biased opinions of you. You cannot control what other people think or how they act. Similarly, don’t base your value upon something completely up to others. Trying to please others will ultimately lead you to be miserable, so try not to stress yourself out with other people’s opinions, even if it is difficult. Number six. Other people,’s achievements. Do you compare your achievements to other people?’s? It’s! Okay, because everyone does that occasionally – And it’s so easy to look at what you’ve done and compare it to someone else.’s achievements, especially when the internet gives you access to everyone.’s. Amazing lives. It may be hard to internalize. But what do other people do? Doesn’t define you, You can’t control others. So the only thing you can do is try your best, Regardless of the result trying your best is enough. After all, everyone is different with varying skill sets and experiences, so it’s no use comparing two unique people. Number seven is your appearance. Are you unhappy with some physical features of yours? Is there anything you wish you could change about your appearance? Chances are, the answer is yes, Almost everyone wants what someone else has, which is the sad truth, especially living in today’s, society. It can be so easy to compare yourself to other people and all the gorgeous models on TV, But try to remember that what you look like doesn’t determine how much you’re worth. You’ve probably heard it before, and we know how hard it is to accept and internalize, but it’s. True You don’t need to feel bad because you might not look the way that people on TV do, because everyone is beautiful in their unique way. Number eight, your relationship status. Are you still looking for the one, But it seems like everyone. You know is getting hitched Nowadays, there’s so much pressure to have a significant other and a picture, perfect relationship. It can feel as if you constantly need to be pursuing someone out of fear of being a desperate lonely single. However, there’s nothing wrong with being single. Doesn’t make you less of a person because it means you’re, taking more time to focus on yourself and what you want na do You will only go for it when it feels right. While a relationship may be nice, it’s, not something you need to have to be valued Nine, the number of friends you have Do you value quantity, over quality when it comes to friends, Or is it difficult for you to keep up with your circle of Friends Having more friends, doesn’t matter what kind of person you are, If you only have a few it doesn’t mean you’re, not sociable or kind, but it means you have a specific taste in people which isn’t a bad thing. You’re invested in finding friends who understand and care for you. On the other hand, having more friends doesn’t mean you’re shallow and only interested in popularity. It means that you’re friendly and open to new people. The number of friends you have doesn’t say anything about your worth. Rather it’s the quality of your friends that matters 10, your social media status. Are you an avid scroller? Do you, post on social media habitually or occasionally With the amount of emphasis? The world seems to revolve around how many likes you get. There is so much pressure to have a picture-perfect, aesthetically pleasing life. However, your worth is not measured by how many people, like your posts, Social media, is for sharing parts of your life and forming connections with people It’s allowed getting likes. May give you the satisfaction it doesn’t determine your self-worth. Social media should be fun and uplifting, not a tool to gain validation. You are valid and worthy regardless of your social media status. Number 11. Your age, Both old and young people, are often judged due to their age. People may think all young people are reckless and selfish, while all older people have their whole lives figured out, But your age, doesn’t control your personality, hobbies, likes dislikes and so much more It’s, not a reflection of who you are so it does. ‘t determine your worth After all Age aint, nothing, but a number Number 12. Your decision to have children There’s a lot of societal pressure to have children to contribute to society, But having children is completely your own decision Not having children. Doesn’t make you less worthy than others who do because it’s a major decision that affects you most of all, so it should be up to you Remember your decision is valid and valued either way. In the end, you’re the only one who determines your self worth Cliche, but it’s, true, Not anyone or anything else, whether it be money, family, or friends. It may be hard, but just try to remember that you are more than any single aspect. We hope we were able to give you insight into some of the things that you should, ‘t base your worth on. Do you use any of these things to measure your self-worth?

6 Signs and Symptoms Of ADHD

 – [Amanda] As a quick disclaimer, this video is made for educational purposes only. And if you have further questions or concerns about ADHD, please consult with your doctor first. With that said, let’s start. I’m sure you’ve heard of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD before. It’s a neurodevelopmental disorder marked by an ongoing pattern of inattention or hyperactivity that interferes with your functioning and development. Though ADHD is most commonly diagnosed in childhood, it can also affect adults. Unfortunately, there’s a significant lack of research into adults with ADHD. Many scientists believe that since ADHD is a developmental disorder, it can not develop in adults without demonstrating any signs during their early childhood. But, signs and symptoms of ADHD often persist into adolescence and adulthood. According to the NHS, by age 25, 15% of those diagnosed will still present symptoms. Of those diagnosed, 65% will have symptoms that affect their lives. Here are six signs and symptoms of ADHD to look out for it if you think it’s affecting your life or the life of someone you know. Number one is inattentiveness. One of the hallmark signs of ADHD is inattentiveness. It goes beyond simply not being able to pay attention. It can also look like the inability to focus on a task, finding it hard to pay attention to others, or overlooking details. Know these symptoms can also be caused by stress. Pay special attention if you find your focus shifting often. Number two, hyperfocus. On the opposite side of the spectrum, you can also experience hyperfocus with ADHD. Hyperfocus can cause a person with ADHD to become so engrossed in a task that they forget about everything else going on around them. It’s important to differentiate between hyperfocus versus when you’re in a state of flow. Flow emerges from a state of deep concentration or engagement in something, and being in flow produces a positive feeling, like a sense of accomplishment. Hyperfocus, on the other hand, is a result of an inability to regulate your attention span. With hyperfocus, you can’t always choose what you focus on. You might be doing something important like homework or hyper-focused on scrolling endlessly through Kylie Jenner’s Instagram Feed. Hyperfocus can lead to setbacks in your relationships with friends or partners, or hurdles at work and school. To help with this, you could prioritize your tasks and accomplish them one by one, or ask your family and friends to text you at specific times to help you shift your focus onto more important tasks. Number three is impulsivity. Do you speak out of turn, or do you regularly get yourself into socially inappropriate situations? Do you rush through tasks? And these all are signs of impulsivity in ADHD. It runs a lot deeper than just making split-second decisions. ADHD impulsivity can disrupt your life, and can potentially get you in trouble.  You might others during conversations, making them less inclined to talk to you again, or you can act without much or any consideration of the possible consequences, and this can land you in hot water. Number four is disorganization. We all have hectic lives, but for someone with ADHD, things may feel a bit more chaotic than usual. If you have ADHD, you may have trouble establishing order in your life, and it can be difficult to keep everything in the right place. And adults with ADHD may struggle with these organizational skills. This can include, problems keeping track of tasks, and trouble logically prioritizing them. Number five is mood swings. Because this symptom is present in many other disorders, it’s not an inherent sign of ADHD, but if you’re someone with ADHD you may experience mood swings or irritability. There may be days you feel good and grounded, and other days when you’re in the emotional gutter. You can try writing your emotions down, which can help you keep track of your emotional patterns, and prepare you for the next mood swing. Setting a schedule will help you establish a routine and avoid the possible stress from disorganization. And number six, lack of motivation. Does it seem like you’re doing everything at once, but feel unmotivated to go about your tasks? Lack of motivation is a common symptom of ADHD. A lack of motivation combined with other symptoms like poor organizational skills is problematic when it comes to accomplishing tasks or being engaged at work. There are many ways to help fight a lack of motivation, though. For example, you could break down your chores into manageable tasks, or write down the positive feelings you’re experiencing throughout the day. These techniques can help you find the motivation to finish your tasks. Do you think you might have ADHD, or does someone you know think they could have ADHD? Do you think these signs will help you or a loved one?
