I either over-react and regret or it or I see-react and regret it! It’s a rare occasion when I look back at my actions and feel neutral about them.

My body went into vagal shutdown because of emotional dysregulation & executive dysfunction. I wound up having to check into a part-time in-patient program just so I could actively learn these skills.

I have the same tendency to be barely breathing at times. Good talk, thanks Caren.

My biggest hurdle right now is my five year old son. He has been so defiant lately with everything. I am constantly losing my mind and blowing up on him. Still waiting for medication. I feel so bad. Both of us are at fault, but damn.

Been binge watching all your videos. And they've been so helpful that, I feel like I need to rewatch them all again & take notes💕

I am to hard on myself with school and if I mess up I just get so upset or sad I need to give myself some grace

I am a ruminator. And if a work colleague nags me to do something, not only do I have to get myself focused, I have to overcome my irritation as well. If it was at the top of my emotional priotity list, the nagger has just thrown it to the bottom, even though I know it should be at the top, and 5 minutes earlier, I was eager to work on it next.

Great video (and your other videos) I do have a question. I notice I have 80% (minus the static voices) of ADHD symptoms from people's experiences online. I've gone to many therapists but not for ADHD. Do you think that medication could help with the emotional regulation? I dont have depression and anxiety (anymore), thank goodness. But then I dont want to keep going to doctors when I can probably address a lot of things on my own (outside of medical intervention). Just asking everyone's thoughts, really.... nothing serious.

Oh brother, that’s me at times especially when my BF is an introvert and I see and hear idiots in power demand stupid crap!!

[Heyuher]

I'm still so shocked that people have romantic relationships cuz how 😮

I just feel so inadequate and yes, a bad person because I read stuff about this and watch videos and even have seen professionals about what to do. And yet just today I hurled at a bunch of innocent acquaintances. I kinda saw it happening but almost felt dissociated from it all. I can't seem to stop the outbursts. I feel like i must look like an ill mannered toddler in a tantrum. Same old same old. I am 64. I wish I was dead. I seem unable to change. I am aware yet I can't seem to do the action to avert the disaster I create. One professional called me helpless and hopeless. Yeah I guess so...
