great responses. Noa, how do these specialists suggest ADHD people deal with anger? practise and use self-talk?
Sometimes I wonder why is it the emotion anger that people so commonly have problems with? Is it because of the danger of someone acting on anger?
I notice that many different emotions or even ideas can take control of my life for a few days at a time.
Sometimes, I believe, it's almost like a seizure.
they seem triggered, like anger, by a small event, and then, spontaneously, it goes away.For example, for a three day period recently, I could do nothing but think about how bad a father my brother is. My brain would not let me not think about this. Of course, during this period, I was able to find ample evidence to prove this idea right; although in reality, he is a very decent father.
I have learnt not to act on these 'seizures', and often feel very guilty afterwards for believing the things I do when they happen.
Anyone else experience anything like this? Or any ideas about what to do when this happens? All insights appreciated, Janice.
