In this episode of Authentically ADHD, we take a deep dive into the multifaceted experience of overwhelm for individuals with ADHD. Overwhelm can show up in many forms—emotionally, through sensory overload, and even within relationships.


First, we explore emotional overload where ADHD can intensify emotions like frustration, anxiety, and mood swings, making it difficult to manage strong reactions. We discuss practical tools to regulate emotions, such as cognitive reframing and mindfulness techniques.


Next, we move into sensory overload, which is often triggered by too much stimuli in environments like noisy offices or crowded spaces. You’ll learn sensory regulation strategies to create calming environments and reduce overwhelm, whether through small adjustments at home or using sensory tools like noise-cancelling headphones.


Finally, we tackle how ADHD-related overwhelm can affect relationships From communication breakdowns to setting boundaries, we provide actionable tips for explaining your needs to loved ones and navigating overwhelm in social interactions.


This episode is packed with practical advice to help you understand and manage overwhelm in your life—whether it’s emotional, sensory, or relational. Tune in to gain insight, learn strategies, and take steps towards living a more balanced life with ADHD.
