When you are experiencing stress or anxiety, you can have a difficult time functioning or feeling anything else. Some are able to put a mask on, show to the world that they are fine when they are in overdrive.

However, masks are only temporarily effective. Finding self soothing techniques is much more useful. We tend to burn out if stress and anxiety are left ignored.

We tend to feel the weight of the world and think that if we ask for help, we are a burden. The truth is that we deserve care, respect and help if we have taken on too much.

“I am No Longer the Person Everyone Expects Me to Be.”
I’m the mother of three kids with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who are currently struggling to stay focused on schoolwork while cooped up inside. I’m also a children’s book author with a new title releasing right now that needs hoopla and promotions of all sorts. I’m a graduate psychology professor with 15 papers to grade. And I’m a psychotherapist who is professionally poised to help others manage their difficult emotions during these confusing times. Today, I’m also a blogger for this very website, asked to conjure some inspiration during this pandemic. And finally, I’m the wife of a very stressed working-at-home husband who needs me to handle the home front.

Dealing with Death Anxiety
Death, of course, comes to each of us, and there are literally a thousand ways to die. Indeed, one eventually must die of something, be it old age, accident, war, or disease. This is an inexorable existential fact of life. Death has always, in all cultures, been a mysterium tremendum, an immense mystery. What happens after death--if anything beyond decay, decomposition and gradual disintegration--is still pure speculation. And, psychologically, such speculation, whether that of science, philosophy or religion, serves one primary purpose: the demystification of death in an endeavor to mediate or eliminate our existential anxiety about it.

Smile! (But Only If You Mean It)
Recall for a moment the last time you interacted with your boss. How did this conversation feel to you? Chances are that you experienced a sense of mental and emotional toil from controlling what you were saying and maybe more importantly, what you weren’t saying.The sociologist Arlie Hochschild coined the term ‘emotional labor’ to describe the behavior of portraying or suppressing certain emotions in order to fulfill the emotional requirements of one’s profession.1 Think of the restaurant server who puts on a smile when taking a customer’s order even though she is racked with chronic pain.

Climbing the Walls?
I didn’t plan to write about the coronavirus again, but it is what is relevant to all of us now. Although much has already been written about the COVID-19 pandemic, about self-care in quarantine, and about the financial reverberations locally, nationally, and internationally, we still struggle to adjust to the new reality, wondering what the next new “normal” will be. Add divorce-related difficulties and the situation becomes more complicated. The stress might feel intolerable.

How To Have Daily Therapy with Yourself During Quarantine
This time of quarantine is a great time to hold a daily therapy session with yourself. This is a stressful time because we cannot operate in our usual ways. We cannot give to and receive from others in ways that are familiar, which is the hallmark of our interactions as human beings. Those of us who live alone experience more “alone with myself time.” How should you use this time?

[Self-Test] ADHD Symptoms in Women
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is not gender biased. ADHD symptoms exist almost as often in girls as they do in boys, and the majority of kids with ADHD never outgrow it. What’s more, scientific research strongly suggests that ADHD is hereditary. Which means that, if you are the mother of a child with attention and impulsivity problems, you may have ADHD, too.

[Self-Test] Autism Spectrum Disorder Symptoms in Adults
Awareness of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has grown dramatically in recent years, which reflects both an increase in autism diagnoses and in the public's understanding that, even late in life, an autism diagnosis can offer major benefits and relief. Still, symptoms of autism are still frequently misdiagnosed as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), mood disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and other related conditions — leading to poor treatment and lifelong challenges. If you recognize yourself or a loved one in the following descriptions of autism spectrum disorder, make an appointment with a health care professional to discuss an evaluation test for autism.

The Motivational Matrix
It’s not a new idea, the urgency matrix you see at the left, but it works. It can prioritize your ADHD life. If I were using it for that purpose, for short-term thinking (attacking a day’s tasks, say), I would draw out the quadrants just as you see them, and plug my tasks into the appropriate quadrant. I’d begin my day by focusing on the “urgent and important” tasks.

As an adult with attention deficit disorder (ADHD or ADD), I know what it is to struggle with frustration and anger. My story is not new.

Those with ADHD — particularly men — often have a difficult time regulating their emotions, especially when faced with frustration and stress.
