Maintaining friendships is hard work for most adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD or ADD). It means making commitments and following through, neither of which are big strengths of ours.

If we wind up canceling or, worse, forgetting about a coffee date or movie night altogether, we feel guilty, frustrated, and worse than if we hadn’t agreed to meet.Then there’s the fact that those with ADHD need more time alone than others do, to give their busy brains a rest, which can come across as feeling antisocial.

Coping with lockdown and bipolar disorder
Governments around the world have instituted social distancing and social isolation measures to curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus. This has led many people to experience changes in their normal daily routines of work, study and other lifestyle activities.  Spending more time at home can generate many challenges -  increased tension with housemates, loneliness, less distraction and maybe more rumination -  but one challenge is particularly relevant to people with bipolar disorders.   Here are some expert tips from the International Society for Bipolar Disorders Chronobiology Task Force.

Social Power and Quarantine in Polyamorous Relationships
Recent arguments on Reddit and other social media outlets over the appropriateness of continuing to travel (across town or across the country) to see partners during the COVID-19 quarantine have prompted a virtual community town hall. Chrissy Holman, polyamory community organizer and Communications Lead for the American Psychological Association Division 44 Task Force on Consensual Non- monogamy,  coordinated a panel of health professionals and community activists to discuss the impact COVID-19 can have on CNM communities, and how to avoid becoming a vector of transmission.

You roll out your yoga mat in your living room, open your laptop, and Zoom into a yoga class with 20 unfamiliar faces sitting in Easy Pose. At the start of the session, the teacher asks the students in the Zoom room to share their intentions and hopes for the future, which are uncertain for many. At the end of class, the teacher humbly asks for donations via Venmo. You shrink inside, knowing your level of gratitude for the day’s practice won’t quite match your monetary offering.

A Loneliness Epidemic
I'm pleased to offer an insightful guest blog from psychologist and colleague Patrick Lockwood. In a discussion, he offered the intriguing suggestion that the loneliness people are feeling in quarantine and COVID-related isolation is nothing new, but is exacerbated as we have exhausted the "normal" techniques we use to numb ourselves to the everyday loneliness that people constantly cope with. It was a compelling thought, and I asked him to expound on it for my readers. Patrick may be contacted through his website or on Twitter @PsychPLockwood:

Much of the focus on COVID-19 research has understandably been about discovering more about the disease, finding treatments to help save lives, and creating the vaccine that will mean the end of the pandemic. The toll of the current home confinement on children has been less studied, but a new research letter published in JAMA Pediatrics provides some information, using students from the Hubei province in China.

What COVID-19 Has Taught Me About Mental Health Recovery
Quarantine has been pretty detrimental to my mental health to say the least. For the last year, I’ve been working. That doesn’t sound like much, but for me, that’s huge. Just months prior to starting that job, my mental health was in the worst shape it had ever been in. My mental health was in such a bad place that it frequently took a toll on my overall physical health: constant stomach trouble, fatigue, heart palpitations, weight loss, etc. My point being, I didn’t think I’d ever be “functioning.” I didn’t believe I was capable of living a “normal” life.

3 Ways to Talk Back When Imposter Syndrome Calls You Out
Let’s talk imposter syndrome. You may question what imposter syndrome (or imposter phenomenon) even is. Well, let me define it for you. It happens most commonly in individuals in college or graduate school, or someone who is beginning a new phase in life where the work is more challenging. With imposter syndrome, an individual doubts their ability and is constantly consumed with the thought of being exposed as a “fraud.”

How to ACE Your Days during Social Distancing
Many of us have been practice social distancing for well over a month at this point. We are spending long days in our homes and might be stuck in a rut by this point. The same routines could be getting boring, or we might be feeling increasingly burned out or even a little depressed. Whatever unique stressors we each face, there is a simple tool that can help us get more out of our days. The acronym is A.C.E., and each letter stands for Achievement, Closeness, and Enjoyment. These are three primary needs we each have, and they are useful to keep in mind when planning activities and for reflection at the end of each day or week. A simple goal would be to have at least one activity for each letter completed each day.
