The diet traps and 6 other common ‘triggers' that make my ADHD worse – plus the expert tips that help me cope
ASKING Google 'what is ADHD?' will yield over 131million results. I know because I did exactly that when I was diagnosed in March this year. Born in the 70s, I was somewhat dismissive and naive about a lot of neurodivergence. But when a newly diagnosed friend assured me I had it, she joined a long list of people in the last decade who have suggested the same.

If fidgeting were an Olympic sport, I'd be bringing home the gold. I get frustrated waiting for people to get to the end of a sentence when I know what they're going to say and have my answer ready.

I'm in my element catering for 15 or more at Christmas yet the thought of a quiet afternoon with nothing on my list brings me out in the sweats. Being told I had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder at age 46 only semi surprised me. I have the inattentive hyperactive - or combined type. As a woman in her 40s, I'm in the biggest diagnostic age category in the UK right now. Advertisement I'm also in the top six per cent of fidgeters in the country apparently, according to a computer screening tool and I'm not sure whether that's something to brag about or be ashamed of. Strictly and OnlyFans star John Whaite opens up on health struggle, saying 'it makes life almost unbearable' I'm not alone in my middle aged diagnosis though; Jessie J, 37, spoke about Since my diagnosis, I've done plenty of research. And while I don't want to take medication for it at the moment, it's all still pretty new to me, I've learned there are certain triggers where my neurodivergence looms large. They're not new to me as feelings but the cause of them is. 9 Lily Allen, 40, had to 'completely switch off social media' after her diagnosis Credit: Getty Advertisement 9 Jessie J says motherhood 'exposed' her ADHD, and she now considers it her 'superpower' Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Dr Paul Wallang is a consultant psychiatrist and healthcare director at He says ADHD is often misunderstood and triggers can make the condition much more visible. 'ADHD is a complex neurodevelopmental condition,' he tells Sun Health. 'In many cases, medication is a key part of treatment and therapy can help unpack the emotional fallout of years of struggling. Advertisement 'It's not about 'fixing' someone – it's about supporting focus, emotional balance and quality of life.' While diet doesn't cause ADHD, certain foods can significantly influence symptoms like hyperactivity, inattention, mood regulation, irritability, restlessness and brain fog Dr Paul Wallang Psychiatrist The dictionary definition says 'It is also frequently accompanied by hyperactive and impulsive behaviour,' it adds. Having been diagnosed with both the inattentive and hyperactive kind, I'm the neurodivergent definition of feast or famine – I'll plan trips away with military precision yet forget my passport before I leave. I'll go to make a cake only to find myself putting out the washing instead five minutes later because the ingredients are next to the washing machine. Advertisement Dr Wallang says there are seven identifiable triggers that make ADHD symptoms worse - from overstimulation to excessive screen use. So how do they manifest with my experience of living with ADHD so far? 1. NO SNOOZE, YOU LOSE THIS is something I relate to a lot. I joke that my sleep tracker is gaslighting me because it always tells me my sleep was too short to be effective. I struggle to quieten my mind when my head hits the pillow and when I wake early or in the middle of the night with a It's never anything important, it simply won't shut down and I toss and turn because of it.

'Poor sleep magnifies inattention, impulsivity and mood swings, creating a vicious cycle. 'People with ADHD often have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up feeling rested, which worsens symptoms. Advertisement 'While good sleep hygiene is helpful, including consistent routines, reduced screen time and avoiding late caffeine, it's not always enough. 'In such cases, tailored strategies like relaxation techniques, CBT for insomnia or reviewing medication timing may be more effective.' 2. DIET TRAPS I EAT plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and little to no If I break the seal on cheese, crisps or chocolate, I'll finish it all, which is why I try to stay away from it. I have the occasional wine, but I do experience food crashes, and I struggle with being 'hangry' when I'm really hungry. Advertisement My emotional regulation seems better when I have a full belly and I've noticed I can't problem solve as well if I'm hungry. The rise in ADHD in women in their 30s and 40s MOST women with ADHD don't get diagnosed until their late 30s or early 40s, according to WedMD. And the numbers are rising. Between 2020 and 2022, ADHD diagnoses nearly doubled in women aged 30 to 49. Among them is Lily Allen, 40, who in 2023 said she had been The Smile singer said: "I've had to completely switch off social media because as soon as I look at it, it can be hours of my day gone." Meanwhile "I never know what to say and I overthink," she said, adding that she found herself "overanalysing" little things, like the "mums' WhatsApp group" at her son's school. "[I'm called] Shadow Sheridan because all I do is lurk," the Oliver award-winning actress said. "Lots of things start to add up," the singer said. "When you go through the assessment process you're like, 'Oh my God, that's part of it as well!' "They start asking you these questions and you're like, 'I didn't even think that was part of it'." "It's made me re think about my whole life," she added. "The way I've been, the way I deal with things. The relationships I have had. How I work and how I love. "It's empowered me and honestly sometimes has overwhelmed me all at the same time." Dr Wallang says: 'Impulse eating and 'food crashes' are common in ADHD. 'Binge eating often stems from the impulsive drive for instant gratification, leading to overeating in short bursts. 'While diet doesn't cause ADHD, certain foods can significantly influence symptoms like hyperactivity, inattention and mood regulation. 'Highly processed foods and excess sugar can trigger irritability, restlessness and brain fog. Advertisement 'There's also growing evidence connecting gut health to brain function via the gut–brain axis, suggesting an imbalanced diet could impact focus and emotional regulation. 'Regular, balanced meals can help maintain energy and mood, and people with ADHD should avoid long gaps between meals, limiting high-sugar or highly processed foods too.' 3. OVERSTIMULATION TYPICALLY I thrive in and love a busy and loud environment. But when I was on holiday last year, it all just got a bit too much and I had to sit away from noise and crowd. It just felt like I was being talked to too much and asked for too many opinions or thoughts on things with not enough space. Advertisement Dr Wallang says: 'The ADHD brain struggles to filter out irrelevant stimuli. 'When there's too much going on – be it noise, visual clutter or background distractions – individuals can become overstimulated, making it even harder to focus, stay calm or complete tasks. 'Even for those used to high-energy settings, overstimulation can lead to mental fatigue. 9 Sheridan Smith, 44, found herself 'overanalysing' little things, like the "mums' WhatsApp group" at her son's school Credit: Getty 9 Paloma Faith says 'lots of things started adding up' after her diagnosis Credit: Getty Advertisement 'Creating dedicated 'optimal stimulation' spaces can help. 'These might include a tidy, low-clutter environment or noise-cancelling headphones. 'Regular quiet breaks also allow the brain to recover and stay regulated.' 4. DOOMSCROLLING I CAN be found falling into a real worm hole on even my busiest days with a big 'to-do' list being ignored. My screen time goes up when I'm busy and down when I'm quiet, which I don't quite understand either. Advertisement Dr Wallang says: 'Dopamine is a key player in ADHD – and social media delivers constant, rapid hits of it. 'This can lead to compulsive scrolling, difficulty sustaining focus and worsened self-esteem through comparison. 'It's these quick dopamine hits which make social media especially appealing during busy or stressful times. 'Excessive screen time may add to mental overload though, so replacing digital input with healthier dopamine sources – like movement, creativity or face-to-face connection – supports better emotional balance.' 5. TIMES OF LIFE I'M of an age where Advertisement While I never know when my time of the month is coming, my partner always gets a sense of it because of a mood shift. I can see it afterwards but never at the actual time. 9 People with ADHD often feel overwhelmed 9 Clare thrives in a busy environment, but sometimes it all gets too much Credit: Clare O'Reilly Dr Wallang says: 'Hormones like oestrogen and progesterone interact with neurotransmitters that influence ADHD symptoms. Advertisement 'This is especially relevant for women in times of hormonal fluctuation – such as puberty, pregnancy, the menstrual cycle, and menopause. 'Hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause can significantly impact mood and ADHD symptoms. 'Tracking your cycle to spot patterns is helpful. 'Discussing hormone-sensitive treatment options with your GP or specialist, alongside lifestyle adjustments and targeted support during hormone dips, can make a meaningful difference.' 6. ROUTINE FLUNKY I'M a feast or famine kinda gal when it comes to routine. Advertisement You can either set your watch by my training and gym time or I turn into a sloth. I hate being told what to do and I thrive without routine more than with it. That said, I have three children and three dogs, so routine is inherently part of my day! The 9 'hidden' signs of ADHD in adults ADHD has long been associated with naughty schoolkids who cannot sit still in class. And that is part of it. Fidgeting, daydreaming and getting easily distracted are all symptoms of the behavioural condition, which is why it is often spotted in children. However, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is far more complex than simply having trouble focusing. Henry Shelford, CEO and co-founder of ADHD UK, says: 'If it isn't debilitating, it isn't ADHD.' In recent years, social media has given rise to trends which conflate specific personality traits or single behaviours with ADHD. You might be thinking, 'I'm always losing my keys, forgetting birthdays and I can never concentrate at work — I must have ADHD'. But it's not as simple as that. Though these may all point to the condition, Dr Elena Touroni, a consultant psychologist and co-founder of The Chelsea Psychology Clinic, says: 'The key distinction lies in how much a behaviour impacts a person's daily life. 'Genuine ADHD symptoms affect multiple areas of life - work, relationships and emotional wellbeing - whereas personality traits are typically context-dependent and less disruptive.' ADHD UK's Henry, who has the condition himself, adds: 'Having ADHD is hard. One in ten men with ADHD and one in four women with ADHD will at some point try to take their own lives.' So how can ADHD manifest in someone's life? While hyperactivity is a common indicator, here are nine other subtle signs: Time blindness - losing track of time, underestimating how long tasks will take, regularly being late or excessively early Lack of organisation - a messy home, frequently misplacing items, forgetting deadlines Hyperfocus - becoming deeply engrossed in activities for hours Procrastination - feeling overwhelmed by to-do lists and struggling to determine what needs your attention first so focusing on less important tasks Heightened emotions - emotional struggles can manifest in angry outbursts, feeling flooded with joy or shutting down because you feel too much at once Being a 'yes man' - agreeing to new projects at work or dinner dates with friends when you're already busy (a desire to please) Impatience - interrupting people mid-conversation, finding it painful to stand in a queue, being overly-chatty Restlessness - tapping, pacing, fidgeting or feeling restless on the inside Easily distracted - by external things, like noises, or internal things like thoughts Dr Wallang says: 'People with ADHD often thrive on structure, even if they resist it. 'A lack of routine creates unpredictability – and that's when disorganisation, missed deadlines and emotional overwhelm can spiral. Advertisement 'While some may seem to thrive without strict routines, many benefit from simple, repeatable daily habits. 'Even small anchors – like a walk with the dogs or cooking a family dinner - can reduce decision fatigue and help the brain feel more grounded. 'These healthy habits also support physical and mental wellbeing, which is especially important for managing ADHD.' 7. GLASS HALF EMPTY A NEGATIVE mindset is something I relate to a lot. I constantly feel like I'm the problem, like things are my fault, like I'm too much or I've done something wrong. Advertisement I always worry that any given consequence is because of something I've done or not done, even when the sensible part of me knows that can't be the case. I worry a lot about things that might go wrong, lack confidence and doubt my success too. Dr Wallang says: 'Self-criticism, shame and a belief that you're 'lazy' or 'not good enough' are sadly common in adults with ADHD – especially those diagnosed later in life. 'This kind of thinking triggers stress responses and avoidance, fuelling the very behaviours people want to change. 'Being kind to yourself is essential; ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition, not a character flaw or failure. Advertisement 'Learning to replace blame and guilt with understanding and self-compassion can ease emotional burden.' How to get help UNFORTUNATELY, a GP cannot formally diagnose ADHD but they can refer you for a specialist assessment. Be warned, the wait can be long. Data suggests there are at least 196,000 adults on waiting lists across the UK. And a BBC investigation found in many areas it would take at least eight years to clear the backlog. For an adult to be diagnosed with ADHD, the NHS says their symptoms should have a moderate effect on different areas of their life, such as underachieving at work or having difficulties in relationships, and the person has been displaying symptoms continuously for at least six months. There must also be evidence symptoms have been present since childhood - it's thought that the condition cannot develop for the first time in adults. After a diagnosis, treatment can include psychological therapies, psychotherapy, social skills training and medication. For many, a diagnosis can be a relief, but also unravel mixed emotions and feelings of 'being different'.

Jessie J reveals huge life change amid breast cancer battle - four weeks after undergoing a mastectomy
Jessie J has revealed that she's sold her beloved Los Angeles home where she lived for over a decade amid her battle with breast cancer. The singer, 37, took to her Instagram on Thursday with a clip of her enjoying one final canyon hike near the property last month, shortly before she returned to the UK for a mastectomy. Jessie is currently in the early stages of recovery following the operation, after revealing the cancer had luckily been caught by doctors 'early'. Sharing the news of her move, she captioned the clip of her jogging with pals: 'June 1st, I flew to LA for just under 48 hours'. 'This quick trip was for a little work but also to say goodbye to my LA house (that had just sold) which was my home for just over a decade'. She continued: 'This hike was my and will always be one of my favourite places in studio city. So grateful I got to have so many happy years in LA, and to visit quickly before my surgery and see some of my favourite people and make memories like this. Jessie relocated to the US in 2014 after claiming she was fed up with gossip about her sex life and said she was 'taken seriously as a singer' across the pond. She shared a glimpse of the swanky mansion, which fans claimed looked like a 'luxury hotel lobby' during the One World viral concert amid the pandemic in 2020. Dressed in a brown striped jumper and gold hooped earrings, Jessie appeared to be sitting on the floor of her living room. Behind her she gave a glimpse of the expansive room, with dazzling spotlights, chic furniture, floor-to-ceiling mirrors and plenty of light. Taking to Twitter, fans couldn't help but remark on her nice home, with one even commenting that it looks like a hotel lobby. 'Damnnn Jessie J just went #PitchPerfect on everyone. Her house also looks like a Marriott lobby' commented one person. While another penned: 'I admire Jessie J. She's like, look at this amazing house. Why even bother to pretend. I earned this.' A third gushed of her abode: 'if it is jessie j's house im looking at it now, it is so damn big holy s**t.' She captioned the clip of her jogging with pals: 'June 1st, I flew to LA for just under 48 hours' Last week Jessie detailed her progress and admitted she was already seeing signs of improvement. Taking to Instagram wrote: 'It will be 4 weeks since my breast cancer surgery on Saturday. I am feeling good. Some days are harder than others. 'My movement is good, still very sore but I am getting more like myself everyday. Mentally it's all catching up with me. So giving myself a little space to feel it all.' The singer revealed she was being tended to by her immediate family while two-year old son Sky visited relatives in Denmark with his father, basketball player Chanan Colman. She added: 'Sky has gone away for 2 weeks with his Dad to his Danish fam, but also so I can rest and do physio. (And re organise the whole house with my Mum and my sister as my body). My adhd and ocd still going strong. 'I'm not allowed to pick Sky up for a few months and that has been a difficult adjustment, I just want to hold him like this and spin around. But in the bigger picture it's a small sacrifice to have my health and to still be here. 'The day will come I can lift him up for a cuddle. I can't wait for that day. That day is what gets me through these days. These days are weird. 'I love being your Mum Sky. I miss my boys.' Taking to Twitter, fans couldn't help but remark on her nice home, with one even commenting that it looks like a hotel lobby 'Jessie J's home is gorgeous and I'm now very jealous' tweeted a fourth. Jessie accompanied the post with a series of affectionate black-and-white photos in which she cradles her young son while working in the studio. The singer previously admitted she went into 'survival mode' upon learning of her diagnosis, but is now letting herself feel angry and sad in equal measure. Sharing an Instagram post in June, she wrote: Jessie wrote: '2 weeks post surgery. Had my drain out 2 nights ago. She said breathe in and take a hard breathe out. She whipped that thang out so quick. Woii oii. Weirdest feeling. But so nice to have it out after 12 days. 'Now it's just me and my wonky boobs trying to figure out how to dress until I match them up. The left one is looking at me like "you ok babe?"'. She continued: 'Also my experience was when I was diagnosed I went into survival mode. 'There was so much going on with appointments and in my mind esp with a toddler I had just moved and was about to start this campaign after 8 years away. Mad. 'I didn't really have a lot of time to process what was happening or what was going to happen. So I'm currently experiencing some delayed sadness and frustration by having time to process what IS happening. 'A little disappointed in myself I didn't say goodbye to my old boob enough. Sounds silly but that's where I'm at. Again that's my journey. I'm sure others feel different. 'But for me I didn't think beyond the surgery. I was just being strong. Well now I'm here and letting myself be angry and sad and all the things. Just for a few days. 'Then I will sew some padding in a bra to even them out order some t-shirts and crack tf on'. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world and affects more than two MILLION women a year Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. Each year in the UK there are more than 55,000 new cases, and the disease claims the lives of 11,500 women. In the US, it strikes 266,000 each year and kills 40,000. But what causes it and how can it be treated? What is breast cancer? It comes from a cancerous cell which develops in the lining of a duct or lobule in one of the breasts. When the breast cancer has spread into surrounding tissue it is called 'invasive'. Some people are diagnosed with 'carcinoma in situ', where no cancer cells have grown beyond the duct or lobule. Most cases develop in those over the age of 50 but younger women are sometimes affected. Breast cancer can develop in men, though this is rare. Staging indicates how big the cancer is and whether it has spread. Stage 1 is the earliest stage and stage 4 means the cancer has spread to another part of the body. The cancerous cells are graded from low, which means a slow growth, to high, which is fast-growing. High-grade cancers are more likely to come back after they have first been treated. What causes breast cancer? A cancerous tumour starts from one abnormal cell. The exact reason why a cell becomes cancerous is unclear. It is thought that something damages or alters certain genes in the cell. This makes the cell abnormal and multiply 'out of control'. Although breast cancer can develop for no apparent reason, there are some risk factors that can increase the chance, such as genetics. What are the symptoms of breast cancer? The usual first symptom is a painless lump in the breast, although most are not cancerous and are fluid filled cysts, which are benign. The first place that breast cancer usually spreads to is the lymph nodes in the armpit. If this occurs you will develop a swelling or lump in an armpit. How is breast cancer diagnosed? Initial assessment: A doctor examines the breasts and armpits. They may do tests such as a mammography, a special x-ray of the breast tissue which can indicate the possibility of tumours. Biopsy: A biopsy is when a small sample of tissue is removed from a part of the body. The sample is then examined under a microscope to look for abnormal cells. The sample can confirm or rule out cancer. If you are confirmed to have breast cancer, further tests may be needed to assess if it has spread. For example, blood tests, an ultrasound scan of the liver or a chest X-ray. Treatment options which may be considered include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone treatment. Often a combination of two or more of these treatments are used. Surgery: Breast-conserving surgery or the removal of the affected breast depending on the size of the tumour. Radiotherapy: A treatment which uses high energy beams of radiation focused on cancerous tissue. This kills cancer cells, or stops them from multiplying. It is mainly used in addition to surgery. Chemotherapy: A treatment of cancer by using anti-cancer drugs which kill cancer cells, or stop them from multiplying. Hormone treatments: Some types of breast cancer are affected by the 'female' hormone oestrogen, which can stimulate the cancer cells to divide and multiply. Treatments which reduce the level of these hormones, or prevent them from working, are commonly used in people with breast cancer. How successful is treatment? The outlook is best in those who are diagnosed when the cancer is still small, and has not spread. Surgical removal of a tumour in an early stage may then give a good chance of cure. The routine mammography offered to women between the ages of 50 and 71 means more breast cancers are being diagnosed and treated at an early stage.

TOUGH JOURNEY Jessie revealed she had been diagnosed with breast cancer in June with a hugely emotional statement. Incredibly, she went ahead and performed at this year's Capital Summertime Ball in London on June 15. Jessie held back tears as she told the crowd at Wembley Stadium that she was taking a break to "beat breast cancer". Jessie J's cancer diagnosis statement in full THE singer took to social media with a candid video where she revealed her news. She said: "Before No Secrets came out, I was diagnosed with early breast cancer. I'm highlighting the word early. "Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word early I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period, I just wanted to be open and share it, one because selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. "I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard. I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories. I'm an open book. "It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse, that's the bit that kills me. "I just want to and just let you guys know it wasn't something I'd planned. But yeah, I'm getting to keep my nipples. That's good. "It's a weird topic and a weird situation, and I know that the press are going to say crazy stuff, but you know, what to get diagnosed with this as I'm putting out a song called No Secrets right before, a song called Living My Best Life. "Which was all pre planned before I found out about this. I mean, you can't make it up. It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job. "I am going to disappear for a bit after summertime ball to have my surgery, and I will come back with massive t**s and more music." Jessie was then left in tears in a heartbreaking video taken straight after her surgery. Jessie also recently clarified she was not "cancer free" after some fans misinterpreted her comments. Last week, she made a heartbreaking admission as she marked her month milestone since her operation. Again taking to social media, she revealed "some days are hard", and that she missed being able to "pick up" her son Sky. Jessie wrote: "It will be 4 weeks since my breast cancer surgery on Saturday. I am feeling good. "Some days are harder than others." 6 She doesn't yet know if she is cancer free Credit: Instagram 6 Jessie has spoken openly about her 'delayed sadness' following her operation Credit: Instagram
