ADHD and Emotional Dysregulation: What You Need to Know

"Me acting impulsively on my emotions is the reason this channel exists."
That one hit hard. ❤

I keep having to go back and see what missed! It's only 7 minutes long, but I've been trying to finish it for 15😂

Because I tend Not react to many things that are bothering at any given time, I end up being passive aggressive..... Anyone else??

Thank you

Thank you for following your impulsive emotion to start this channel!!

What bugs me is that my parents just say(not my dad props to him but my mom constantly says ooooooohhhhh your problem is that your hormonal. By the way my 2 younger brothers have ADHD and that is never an excuse my mom ueses to say that there lying about their adhd because they’re boys. I am also the oldest of 4 children and I have 3 younger brothers. I also am undiagnosed a girl and I get straight As I also have dyslexia, undiagnosed and I’m in public school whereas my brothers with ADHD and several other disabilities are either in private schools that target there struggles or going to go into online school so he can be a ballerino his words not mine😂. I love my brothers and my parents but I feel like the ignored middle child but I’m the oldest. I also probably have a mixer of adhd dyslexia trauma ptsd depression anxiety and who knows what else but with the American healthcare system and the stigma that comes with adhd in women I’m bound to never get diagnosed. The straight A reputation is not going to last any longer thought at this rate. This is my feeling simulator ➡️😩😵‍💫😴🥵🫠🫣🫡🫥🫨🤢🤮🤕😲😮‍💨🤫😳☹️🥺😏🤓🥸🤩🥳😎😝🤪😍😇🥹

mindfulness made me question if i even had adhd to begin with.

This is entirely too long for those of us with ADHD lol

my mom always told me, dont worry its a tornado of emotion and it will pass

I'm sending this to my mom and my bf

I need to be diagnosed. As for me, when I get sad or humiliated, it lasts long, just like yesterday and today. Earlier, I just felt out of place. Looking back at my past, I was full of what if. How I wish I didn't have this, How I wish I was as smart as they are, why am I like this. It feels so bitter inside.

Me currently watching this, just after having an argument at work that i know i shouldn't have had just about 20 min ago, ups

I have this problem with emotional regulation. I always feel bad about it when I start crying for someone tiny that doesn't actually matter. Everyone around me feels bad when it's not there fault it's just my brain.

I’ll watch the whole thing next time again.

This feels so typical for me...... hahaha
Thank you..........

Thank you for your help

I can’t find your printouts! 😩😩😩

Too sensitive.
Visceral reactions.
Bad temper.
Passionate.
Emotionally stunted.
Impulsive.
Guilt ridden.
Defensive.

not me having to rewind half through the video cause i wasnt paying atention 💀💀💀

I am trying to understand my son & I am starting to realize I am getting a better understanding of myself. If I wasn't too anxious to show what I am feeling. I get very frustrated at times for very different reasons. If only guys (or people in general) were allowed to show our feelings without being judged.

Love this ❤

Hey, I just realize that journaling, like writing down your emotional thoughts can actually cool down your emotion, especially the negative ones.

It's awful feeling overwhelmed and misunderstood. Much love and peace to everyone ❤

My ADHD is so bad that I sometimes forget that this channel exists.

I have severe executive dysfunction due to getting Kawasaki disease when i was 4 months old that also includes the fact i was born with ADHD, i literally cannot control my reactions to situations sometimes, it really gets in the way of my day to day life

.. just dump ... buaeh 🤣❤ Thank you so much for this video! ❤

I have ADHD but I feel like I only feel negative emotions stronger than normal people.

Thank you for this. I Wish I could turn off the 'pain/hurt' emotion using these techniques

There is no way I’m going to be able to maintain an Emotional Tracker. Not happening.

My son is ADHD-Inattentive with sensory issues and refusal to go to school and talks too much when he is excited about something he likes.

Do you feel problem in focusing /memorizing a new topic in limited amount of time while sitting with your class fellows and the environment becomes too noisy as everyone is preparing to give viva /test which will be started in 15 to 30 minutes...
Then you see that Everyone .... Everyone except YOU has memorized that same topic well in that same noisy environment but you can't utter a word from your mouth because you weren't able to focus even on a single word due to noisy environment despite your full full effort just to focus ...
Noisy environments becomes unbearable for our focusing memorizing abilities
IS THIS ME OR EVERYONE HERE STRUGGLED THIS WAY. ?? 😭

❤❤❤

i'm basically emotionally crippled because of my ADHD. i'm so tired...

‘Defect in moral control’?

Because….?

I've watched this video before. I've been following your channel for a few years (nearly as long as I've suspected I may have adhd), but only just now am I realizing that emotional dysregulation may be a better explanation for my situation than anxiety

Sheila Henson is an amazing ADHD Coach (who deals with it too)

I am an IT guy runnign an IT department which is perfect for my ADHD. But i have been told several times to slow down, gather my thoughts and then focus on one task at a time instead of 20

I wish this was around when I was a kid or simply that someone else could have seen what I was really struggling with rather than just seeing me as an “angry child” who needed to be corrected or was doing it because I was mean spirited.

I just suppress my negative emotions 🤷‍♀️ Not the healthiest, but it allows me to think about things before reacting to them. It's weird because usually I just forget about what was happening, I just become more defensive with whoever caused those negatives emotions as a consequence without remembering exactly what happened.

Crying as I watch this, I hate my anger and frustration outbursts, it's ruining my life

Thanks!

can emotional dysregulation arise from trauma if not adhd? 'cause i definitely have this despite not having an adhd diagnosis

❤😂

Or you could have borderline personality disorder which causes emotional dysregulation... I've been diagnosed with bpd and adhd x

I'm starting to think that my daughter could have Adhd. She always has 'big emotions' as I would call it. She feels a lot and it's difficult for her to calm down. She has a fear of failure, she is not capable of listening to a bedtime story without playing with something in her room, when you try to tell her something she has a hard time standing still and really listening to what you're saying. She stands and runs on the couch a lot and quickly forgets we told her not to. And so on. But she's also just 6 years old and very smart, so sometimes we feel like she chooses not to listen or to manipulate.

That emotional energy is great as long as it's positive emotion. Excited & anxious are way similar. If being positive, it comes out as excitement.

My emotions were an absolute disaster as a kid. I would crawl under tables, squeal, scream and cry everytime I had to do something I didn't like

Thank you so much for everything your doing. It’s helping me so much. 💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕
