5. Low Self-Esteem
ADHDers tend to be overly critical of themselves, leading to low self-esteem and poor self-image. This happens because they are aware of their inability to focus and concentrate, past failures and underachievements.
Tips for dealing with poor self-image and self-esteem:
- Challenge negative thoughts and take action; ask yourself why you got bored or why you didn’t finish a task. Is there a solution for the problem?
- Keep a journal with short and long-term goals.
- Reward yourself for any achievement, even if it seems small.
