Do you snap and fall apart? | ADHD Information

sometimes simple things frustrate me. Are you on any meds?

Simple things frustrate me to the point of shutting down all together and falling a part/snap.

Putting away the groceries, folding clothes and many other things aren't things I can actually complete...as in ever....mentally approaching these tasks can actually cause physical mental pain. Having my hubby confront me on any of these topics strikes anger in me that comes on in "flashes"--

Occasionally, I can be just plain inconsiderate. I don't get mad about someone calling me on it. I do get instantly angry and defensive when someone expects more from me than I am capable of doing. "I am trying as hard as I can, what more do you want me to do? I can bleed all over you, will that help?!!"

Is your H educated about your diagnoses? Perhaps you can rearrange the household responsibilities so that you can do more tasks you are good at, and fewer of the ones causing the problem. I am a big believer that "If it is so frickin important to you, then you take care of it." (Trading chores insures that I am not shirking when I say that.)

I used to have a quick temper, got me in a lot of trouble!! Now that my medication is helping - I am happier and like to be the class clown too much. Life is short - thank go for medication. Thank god my mind doesn't get stuck and stimulated by the negative anymore.I used to.

Like a fresh carrot.

Now I'm divorced, I haven't been angry in a long time.

Only when I have to deal with the eX.

What kept me from losing it in the old days was being on Ritalin.

It slowed me down enough to think things through.
Yeah, we do that. It's ok. That is what therapist are for. However therapy is only as good as your therapist. I've had one terrible, and one that was mediocre before I finally found a good one. Now I look forward to the visits because I feel so much better afterward.
Recently had , unn, lets just say a little trouble, so for now I'm seeing tdoc every other week and pdoc every other week so I'm actually going to someone once a week now. Do whatever you have to do to take care of you and come here for support. Keep in touch - cg

I am on meds. I mentioned in another forum that I am not worried that I have chronic anger issues or anything...I have just had a couple of reactions/episodes lately that I thought I had put behind are not normal for me.
