Hi there! Yes, it's quite common for adults with ADHD to experience irritability due to the challenges they face in focusing and staying on task. Establishing a regular exercise routine, practicing mindfulness, and ensuring a consistent sleep schedule can help reduce irritability.

I can relate! I've found that breaking tasks into smaller chunks and taking regular breaks can help alleviate some of the stress and frustration that can lead to irritability. Also, connecting with a support group for adults with ADHD can be helpful.

It's important to remember that everyone has off days, and it's okay to feel irritable sometimes. However, if your irritability is impacting your daily life or relationships, it may be helpful to speak with a mental health professional for additional support and guidance.
