Joe Swash Struggles with ADHD After Holiday Disaster

has said a recent disastrous holiday with his wife and their kids made him realise his has 'taken a grip' on him.

The actor, 44, took to social media on Tuesday to share a candid clip with fans where he admitted he is 'not managing' his condition.

Joe explained to fans how he has not taken medication for a year now, but his drama-filled family holiday has made him re-asses his situation and he has booked in with his GP.

Speaking in a clip, he said: 'Everybody has been asking me about my ADHD, where I'm at in my journey. I feel like we've touched upon it in series one of mine and Stacey's show. And I was on the journey of starting to find the right medication.

'I have stopped taking the medication for the last year. Now, in hindsight, I know it's a bad idea. So I'm sort of going to start the journey again from scratch.

'I've got a meeting with my doctor. And the ADHD doctor as well.'

Joe said the busier he gets, the more overwhelmed he feels, before explaining what triggered his decision to review how he has been dealing with his diagnosis. 

He continued: 'Let me tell you what has triggered all of this was recently me and the family went on holiday.

'Within the first three days... the first one was a terrible error. I left Stacey's suitcase at home with all of Stacey's holiday clothes, so we flew out on holiday, we got to the airport and her bag didn't arrive.

'We worked out I didn't put it in the in the taxi. I left my iPad on the plane, missed the flight home, all within the space of four days, so...

'I feel like the ADHD has taken a bit more of a grip, and it's sort of creeping back into my life again, and I'm not managing it well.

'So, this time around, I want to try and do it properly, find the right balance of medication, speak to the right people. But as well as that, I'll let you know how. And what's working and what's not working.'

During their BBC series last year, Joe emotionally  

Stacey booked a therapy session at the Henry Centre in Westcliff Essex to help support Joe following his diagnosis.

In a conversation with counsellor Natalie Corbett, Stacey said: 'I understand Joe's frustration, because he is putting a lot of effort in. 

'Like, I would say "Joe I really need help with this, this, and this. I'm really struggling." And Joe hears that and he wants to support me but he'll do other things that aren't the stuff I'm asking him.

'He gets frustrated because he has worked hard and he has put the effort in. But you haven't done the things I'm directly asking you for. 

'So I've still got to manage those on my own. You're a great dad and an amazing person, but sometimes I don't think you take into consideration all the fires I've got to put out everywhere.'

Looking defeated, Joe replied: 'I don't even know what to say. It's so frustrating, when all I feel like I'm doing is trying to dedicate myself to my family and do everything I possibly can, every minute of the day. 

'And then to sit here and listen to the fact that I'm a huge problem...'

'But nobody is saying that. Is that what you hear?' therapist Natalie asked. 

Joe interrupted: 'All that I'm hearing is that I'm this huge problem in Stacey's perfect life. That's all I'm hearing. I don't hear no positive stuff about me as a person.'

'I would say this is our biggest issue in our whole relationship. Is that I cannot say anything without you taking it so personally, as an attack on you as a whole person,' Stacey said.

Joe replied: 'All I ever do is I try and do for my family. So when I hear that, that's not what's coming across. That's frustrating for me.'

Stacey then clarified: 'You're hearing something that's not being said. I have caveated almost everything I've said with a positive, Joe. It's about us working together to manage this situation. 

'That's what I'm here for. I'm not here to change you. I'm here to support who we are.'
