What makes ADD symptoms worse? | ADHD Information

This may sound weird, but what makes mine worse is when I only have 1 project going on instead of 5 or 6 clients needing 2-4 projects a piece. I seem to function better when I know I have XX amount of work/money coming in(I have my own Graphic Design/Web Design Business) and the stress of not knowing when and IF I'll have another Client or Project gets me down and when I'm down to the last client and project it's almost like I lose interest in it until I get more work to do!

I think it's because I like going from one project to another and back and forth so I don't get too bored with one thing. But then at the same time I get this anxious and overwhelmed feeling when I DO have all that work to do! Can't win either way really   Anyone else like this?
ShawnB39047.861400463I agree with all of the above, and i'll add that stress also seems to bring out the symptoms more. Oh, and the change of seasons, from summer to winter, until I become accustomed to it.

What makes your ADD symptoms worse?

For me, it seems like everything makes it worse:  lack of sleep, lack of exercise, too much caffeine, too much sugar, and that week before my period.  Also, it seems to get worse with age.

 

Well, I was gonna say my eX,

but I like the following better:

"That week before my period"

Dang, it's a KILLER!!!

ShawnB I too have to have quite a few things going on or I just can't do it. I have a very demanding job, multi tasking, fast paced and very stressful.   I have to have a tv on when I go to sleep if not my mind won't shut up and if not I will never fall asleep.   I have also noticed that my symptoms have gotten worse with age   Are any of you affraid of making someone mad and do you try to keep everyone happy, do you try to avoid conflict at all cost even if it hurts you in the end? I doI'm the same way with the TV at night and sleeping.

As far as  the last thing.. I don't like making anyone mad, and try to please them, and I don't like confrontation.  I used to avoid it at all costs.

But with age I have found that now I am sticking up more for myself... but then it always comes back with the other person playing the "victim" when I'm only defending myself. 

Never fails. I never start anything, only defend myself and when I finally snap and confront them they don't know what hits them and they start crying and saying how mean and nasty I am and how every thing's my fault. Always! That's why I don't have any friends outside of my husband and his best friend Joe. I get a long with men fine.. it's women I have issues with.
