54. How Our ADHD Affects Christmas - And How Yours Can Be Better

A Dopamine Kick (Another ADHD Podcast)

Dec 11 2022 • 33 mins

It’s almost Christmasssssss!! And whilst we both absolutely love Christmas,  for those of us who suffer with ADHD the festive period can be a highly stressful time. Christmas requires a lot of executive planning,  and well…. we all know - we’re useless at that.

It’s not unusual for our anxiety levels to be heightened which leads to last minute shopping trips (can anyone say, Xmas Eve), taking on wayyy too much, leaving things till the very last minute and our emotional reactions which can normally be (sort of) managed, seem out of control.

In this episode we’ll be discussing our personal Christmas chaos stories and what we’re going to do this year to help manage our ADHD symptoms to be have a better more relaxed Christmas!

Any tips or advice you have for us - please contact us below!

Thanks for listening to us ramble!
