Being told to 'man up!' turns whatever emotion into RAGE!

I still have a visceral reaction to being called too sensitive. It feels so dismissive.

Considering how often I see (neurotypical) people make a claim based on instinct and then argue backwards why it was the rational choice, having ADHD helped me be very aware of that feelings aren't always rational.

I hate how I’m either so emotional that I can’t do anything or have no emotions. There is almost no in between. Something makes me emotional and I can’t do anything until I calm down, which is just distracting myself from whatever is causing the emotions

every emotion feels like an extreme. happiness and being excited sometime gets me to be too loud or hyper. then fear, even of something like the dark or something i imagined makes me not sleep in my room for a week

I’ve spent the better part of this year learning how to self-regulate and I’m just breaking the surface (but it does give me hope)!!

I'm now scared of expressing too happy and am constantly told I'm not happy enough over things like surprises, since I was told I was 'too happy' often as a child. Leading to me being sad and therefore, 'too sulky'

I was constantly told to stop taking things so personally as a child

As a person with ADHD I know exactly how you said it's very hard for me to experience what normal people experience especially with happiness or sadness or anger it's just really different and sometimes is making me cry and I have like no friend to talk to because they do not understand the struggle right now crying for no reason just writing this comment making me cry this is the struggle with ADHD😢

I'm so glad I found this short! I have C-PTSD, and I experience emotional dysregulation often. Today, I was affected by it very strongly. I probably don't have ADHD, but this channel has been really helpful to me, and I can relate in so many ways. I've been wanting to get assessed for it just to rule it out because I do have a family history of it, but as an adult, no psychiatrist will take me seriously because so many people try to fake ADHD.

I’m mostly sharing this for other who might be similar. For me I didn’t like the effects of being unable to regulate my emotions, so I would bury them. I got very good at it. Nowadays I have recognized how unhealthy that is and have been working for years to combat that behavior and recognize my feelings, but it is a slow and difficult process. Remember, your feelings are good and valid! Even if you need to work on how you express them!

I am a logical, calm person, even under pressure/stress. But when I'm emotional, and be it just excitement, all of that is out the windows lol. ADHD really is something

Exactly what I experience!! So hard explaining to others that I know a lot of the times when I overact, that I know my thoughts are irrational but cannot control them. This tends to occur most when I am dealing with a lot emotionally and avoid dealing with them till later.

I’ve had times where I turn from a caring and empathetic person to impulsively yell at people my mom is normally this person. I’m also normally a very optimistic and upbeat person but when I nerve is struck I become in a pessimistic state where I start to doubt it’s happened a couple times.

I wish someone told me about emotional regulation when I was younger. I’m only finding out at thirty years of age & it’s been a rough ride.

My fear is probably the worst of it all. It completely paralyzes me.

So that's why I was extremely mad at the DMV lady who wouldn't let me use my legal signature that I use on all legal documents.
