Dealing with Holiday Stress?

Tara McGillicuddyWell, Thanksgiving is over which means we are now into the holiday season. Some people love this time of year and bask in the joy of the season. For many others, especially those people with ADD, this time of year can be very stressful. There are often more social gatherings this time of year which involves a whole slew of choices. Entering a store for a simple everyday item can be a major event because all of the holiday shoppers who are out. The list can go on and on.

I think just accepting the fact that there is probably going to be a higher level of stress this time of year can be a major step in helping to deal with the stress itself. Once we realize this we can next take steps to help deal with the stress. Though a lot of people have other things on their mind, this time of year is actually a great time to begin working with an ADD Coach. Now is also a great time to learn Skills for Managing ADD too.

What’s one positive thing you can do to deal with the stress of the Holiday Season?

Featured Living with ADD Story

The stories everyone else describes pretty much explain my life without the details. I had a terrible childhood. I have always felt different but never knew why. I always felt I did not fit in anywhere especially with peers, and now with coworkers, family and even my boyfriend. In grade school I was the class clown to get the attention of my peers. In middle school that graduated to being the bad kid and telling off teachers (still to get attention).

In High School it went to smoking pot getting kicked out of many schools to never return, and not caring about anything. My parents did not know how to deal with me, and now admit that they were really not into being parents anyway. They did try in their own ways, but their form of punishment was very negative which gave me lower self esteem and made my problems worse. My mother still can't admit that something was medically wrong with me (ADD), and plays it off to me just being a bad child whenever I try to discuss it with her.
