it is! And me too! I’ve started to just be honest and ask them to repeat what they said

Same!! It’s difficult to keep a serious convo going, my mind just ventures off to the most random thoughts. 🤦‍♀️ I finally started being very open ab what I struggle with so my ppl know that I’m not trying to be inconsiderate. It’s also annoying bc I’ll miss important info that I actually want to hear.

I started to feel like I had anger issues a few years ago bc I was experiencing this. When I realized it was an ADHD symptom I’ve learned tips to manage it better. I take frequent “mom breaks” 😂 and lock myself in the bathroom and I’ll listen to some calming music, pray, whatever it takes to stop the sensory overload. I also take anxiety meds which help tremendously, but loud noises like yelling, TV or music flip a switch inside my brain so fast. I can go from fine to overstimulated in a second, and it’s frustrating bc it keeps me from getting things done that I need to. But I’m working on realizing my triggers and getting better.
