When is the last time something happened in your life that was overwhelming, and how did you deal with it?

[@merncat3384]

I'm not sure how this video link showed up in my email since I've never even been to your channel before but maybe because I look up other ADHD videos. At 47 years old, I've just recently realized I've been living with this my entire life (undiagnosed) and I always seemed to manage my symptoms until premenopause hit and now it's debilitating me, so I'm frantic.. nothing in my life is stable :( Anyway, I just wanted to say I need these videos desperately and I just subscribed to your channel.. thank you !! Oh and to answer your question, the last time something overwhelmed me is right now, I'm trying to schedule multiple doctor appointments for a horrible mistake that another doctor made which caused me lifelong injuries. But honestly I'm overwhelmed every second of the day, my mind is already on needing to get to work in 2 hours

Perfect I’m literally sitting here in a mound of stuff in my bedroom that I just moved in to and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to start. Literally a pile about the size of half the room upwards.. Is there such thing as a video and how to unpack and organize because I’ve been sitting here for a month and a half trying to figure it out and sleeping in the couch on the living room meanwhile because it’s so overwhelming . Help?? 🤦🏼‍♀️

I'm moving tomorrow again, and im on my period, which makes me hot, with mood swings and feeling overwhelmed. On top of it, my 88 year old grandfather is yelling my name constantly creating more stress with coping and packing.

[@sarakellyADHDCoach]

That sounds really frustrating for you.

My father and i have a complicated relationship, but the one thing he has always tried to help me and educated me on ADHD. I was always very resistant on it because of said relationship. I would make fun of the corporate early 2000 motivational adhd literature that was lining the bookcases in his office. I swore i would muscle my way through it. It took me being 24, moving 6 six states to my new partner to realize just how bad ADHD can get. I am going to make them watch this as soon as they get home from work

Were getting there. Learning the neighborhood and meeting neighbors. Trying to get into a routine. Getting comfortable in the new house is getting there. Thank you for making your channel.

Yes , this move itself is grueling and overwhelming. I’m doing it so that I can get to the next step and work on what I truly want to be working on . The boredom of throwing stuff away and deciding what goes and what stays, feels like HELL. It’s all the stupid stuff that’s actually hard and even harder when friends and family don’t understand why such a brilliant person like me is struggling with the simple things that are so trivial 😢😅

[@ajschielie2447]

I will be tryimg these tips out ... given i have a big change coming up. Thank YOU, Sara!!

[@sarakellyADHDCoach]

You're so welcome. Hope the change goes well!🤞❤️

Just found your video. Wish I saw it before we moved. My husband, and our adult kids and me have ADHD. Wish we could've watched it together. My whole family has ADHD. We were given an eviction notice with the rest of the tenants on May 1, 2024. It said we had to May 31st to vacate the premises cause the property has been sold. That was stressful to us. First week my husband and I were freaking out. Our adult kids weren't taking it well. That was a hard week. Everyone was packing at different times, or not packing at all. Up at night trying to organize ourselves. Exhausted. Some of us didn't want to move, or like the new house. We applied for several houses, and couldn't agree on none of them. A ton of family meetings to try to give everyone a chance to voice their opinion. We were evicted because the property was sold. IIt was so stressful. My husband put his foot down a picked one of the houses since no one could agree on one. Kids had a cow. But, there was no time for arguing. We used a Pod, some of us said that was stressful. The move out clean up was stressful. That first night in the new house was strange. We all were up all night trying to adjust. We were all exhausted. My husband and I went to sleep again our will.Today is day ten, a little better. A little better.

I hope you feel settled after this move soon!

Im moving tomorrow morning (currently 1 am) and i havent packed a single thing 🙃

[@emi.7777]

I'm moving houses tomorrow and still have like half my room to pack, i keep pushing it away and being yelled at lol, my mum just doesn't understand my ADHD and its so tiring

[@sarakellyADHDCoach]

I hope you manage to get through this. Moving takes a lot of executive functions.

[@debb7390]

I probably needed to watch this months ago. I started packing and then I just stopped. It is overwhelming to me how much needs to be done. I can't see how I can get it all done.
