Anger, Moodswings, and Meltdowns

Where all my over emotional people at! :)

I'm not over emotional, everyone else is under emotional.

Haha I like this! 😅 agreed!

Me with ADHD Hi so I’m 13 and I don’t if I have adhd but I’m having a lot of trouble in school because I can’t focus but I’ve never been able to focus and I forget about my assignments and my emotions are out of control and I’m hyper and annoying and people get mad at me and adhd runs in my family but I’m a girl so people don’t see it and it’s really messing with me and my grades were ok when I was little but they are dropping very low and all these thing and more are getting worse it’s not only messing with my school but it’s also messing with my family and friends and others and there are so many things I can rant about but I really don’t see a point but I was just wondering if you could give me any advice because it’s really messing with me thank you so much for reading this I’ve also had a really hard life when I tell people about it they think it’s a made up story but it’s real and it’s just starting to get better but this is just another obstacle in my way again thank you for reading this And any advice is welcome thank you And I’m just so smart and I know it but I can’t show people that because of the fact I can’t focus and I never get my work done and how I act I also have anxiety and really bad racing thoughts and I’m really all over the place and when I think of something I have to say there’s a lot of other things am I repeating myself sorry if I am also I’m sorry if I’m all over the place

[@OnlyARide]

@@BlackHeart16905 I know you were asking Me with ADHD but I feel like the advice you need in this situation is pretty obvious: talk about it with an adult who will listen. I recommend starting with your regular doctor, ask about seeing a psychiatrist, tell them about the issues you're having. If your parents are willing to listen you could talk to them first. Maybe a school counselor or school therapist?

[@jackielaurens]

i was diagnosed with adhd recently. since i am a teenager and pretty late in diagnosis, i already had many bad experiences with it because people chalked it up to behaviour issues and not being medicated didn’t help either. This lead to me being bullied and scolded all the time (especially since i was a girl and my teachers saw impulsively as a guy thing). Since my diagnosis I’ve been healing and a bit happier. looking back now a lot of things made sense. I still haven’t reach the confidence to tell people about it aside from family but I hope to fully accept this part of myself one day. Channels/support groups like this have help me understand and try to overcome. thank you sm for the information and positivity you share on the topic.

[@goofball2228]

My grandpa was diagnosed at 60 lol

Oh and what a beautiful story. I’m sorry you got bullied.

I'm 39 and spent last 20 years of thinking I was crazy,bi-polar or worse , trying to seek mental health been a nightmare till a recent phone call to a doctor asked e 7 questions and now I'm awaiting tests for ADHD nut having watched you today i feel relieved almost because now I don't feel like I'm some monster.i related to every word of this video.. thanks

[@castro8365]

I’m 46, went in for an adhd diagnosis and came out with bi-polar, ocd, adhd and generalized anxiety.

[@nathalievandijk]

[@anyatranter5588]

Omg this is the most on point description of me from any ADHD site.Im female but suffer rage and meltdowns .and you've explained it very raw and unprettified.

[@mediocretriplethreat]

Thank you for explaining! I had no idea my over emotional-ness was due to my ADHD! One time while taking a quiz, I didn’t remember anything we learned, or even learning the material. I started crying during the quiz and got into such a state that I couldn’t calm down and TRY to solve the problems. And then after the quiz I had a meltdown because I knew I had failed. Now I know ADHD was likely the cause. Thank you again!

[@AL-qe7xn]

Started meditating especially during COVID I’m in college rn so being away from school has been super tough. But for all my ADHD people mediation is key for emotional regulation. There have been times for me where I completely blow things out of proportion and go on these huge tangents/narratives. Believe me whatever that situation is it’s not as bad as you think it is. If you find yourself in that rabbit hole just meditate I’m telling you it works. And reach out to people whether that be your boss or fellow students whatever and be honest with them don’t make rash decisions.

[@CyberSyntek]

"Passionate to a fault" was a great summarization. Of course me being another ADHDer living in my own bubble, I still like to think of it as others not being passionate or understanding enough! 🙃 circumstantial of course.

[@themontrealgirl95]

i was diagnose when i was 5... i didn't know over emotional was something in adhd. when you mentionned it i started crying... i feel so not normal... i hate adhd. Its reslly hard to live with. i get frustrated in myself not being lime everyone.

[@goofball2228]

Ik I got frustrated with myself tonight because I got in trouble because of my ADHD impulses and it made me so mad at myself. I was crying and insulting myself.

[@buffplums]

This is really helpful sir. I can’t tell you how important it is to me personally as I can relate so much to what you say.

[@MewithADHD]

Thanks mate! I appreciate the support and I'm glad you relate to the videos!

[@bobbybaguettes4766]

THIS IS ME I honestly can’t believe a video can be so true to me I’ve never had this kind of relatability it’s one of those deals where I feel I should show the world this video so they can understand but Ik they won’t see it as big of a deal as I do. Thank you 🙏

[@christwilson3267]

I've had a lot of mood swings my entire life, and when I feel wronged, I feel exactly like this. I don't think I've ever heard someone talk about themselves and feel like they were actually talking about me. I'm 28 and I started getting help, and while it's getting better, it's also really hard to go through alone. Thanks for letting me know I'm not, man.

[@maybeitsmolly4994]

Oh my god thank you! I needed this confirmation today that it wasn’t JUST my personality

[@jacobhiers]

I can’t tell if I’m over-reacting or under-reacting anymore. I feel everything so much and so intensely that I wind up creating extra issues and arguments in my own head while trying to understand the initial problem. I know my life is changing and most things are not working out for me right now. But I can’t express how hard this has been affecting me. Meds work but they also create their own small list of issues. Meds work = toxic introspection No meds = panic attacks induced by racing thoughts and lack of focus. I’m alone in my world and I’m scared that I’m only going to continue to feel like this forever. To anyone who knows what this exact feeling is just know you don’t have to feel alone and I’m sorry you or anyone has to feel like this. I love ya and remember you are human and not all of us are wired the same so it’s okay to feel a lot just try not to react a lot. ❤

[@aglayaovsiannikova3051]

Thank you so much for being so open about this subject. I feel so often ashamed and a big failure bc of this. Now specially being a single mom it’s so staying calm. Literally makes me cry because I don’t know how to get better and I feel so stupid apologizing all the time 😔 But it’s amazing that you show this part of your struggle. It makes me feel less crazy and less alone

[@ShinChunny]

Thank you so much for this. I’m struggling with my adult ADHD unmedicated. This helps me understand myself and my challenges so much more. This stuff helps me become self aware and hopefully that much closer to managing my ADHD

[@lovingod4ever33]

This information is perfect! Impulsivity hands down me to every time!! Ugh. Also really struggle with what you were saying the last minute or so, I have such an obsession with perfectionism. Everyone always says I’m way to hard on myself and this is the very thing I am currently working on with my Therapist. I feel so sad for us ADHDers, it feels like we are constantly swimming against the current and yet trying to go with the current at the same time. Speaking though of our brains working a lot faster, I often get very annoyed and frustrated when non ADHDers can’t move as fast as me or can’t process things as fast as I do. The frustration comes because I then have to slow down to there speed or repeat things.

[@s0ur_smoothie]

My brothers and I have all have ADHD, and especially my brother and I have been reduced to tears over anything to do with schoolwork. We've also ended up yelling at our dad and eachother when we think we should do something one way but our father tells us to do another way. I've never been emotional over things like shows or games but I find myself in tears over the thought that I've upset an online friend or somebody else.

[@bobataro.-]

0:42 I just had an anger meltdown a few minutes ago, and after calming myself up, I decided to watch this video, and when I heard you say that I started laughing because of how frustrated I was at the world

[@Jivolt]

One EPT (Emotional Polarity Technique) session obliterated my ADHD anger issues. I have no idea how it worked but it did. CBD oils took care of all of my weird moody ADHD issues. Go team.

[@MewithADHD]

Thanks for the advice friend! I'm trying CBD oil soon

[@lowribrooke580]

I'm on CBD oil, think I have ADHD. Woke up this morning with burning raging anxiety in my chest and couldn't catch my breath. CBD has brought me out of it :)

[@mrtransistor6173]

I've tried CBD and various other supplements and for me, they've not done anything at all. Being medicated for it has helped

[@nathalievandijk]

EPT? What's that?

My boyfriend gets angry and he gets upset and has meltdowns sometimes I hate it when he feels like that:(

I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 10 (now I’m 14) and I definitely have mood swings. I also used to have rage attacks.

Dude the impulsivity one, where you won’t even think what ur doing, that I have sooo much, if I get the lightest bit ticked off, my brain decides that now I should be super itchy all over, and when I tech and it comes back in the same place, I go hard mode, and then right after I’m like” AAAAOOOOOOOOOUUUCCHHH OOOOWWWWWW

[@howtofoldtime8409]

I'm melting down now because I'm in Puerto Rico and there's a drug shortage and I cant find my medication anywhere. I'm down to my last dose and I'm really scared of what's about to happen. I've been taking adderal for 10 years. I dont want to stop. It helps me and I remember exactly what my life was like before the meds and I've accepted that I need it and I'm grateful everyday I have it. but I've run out before and also tried to just live without it and discovered how necessary it is for me to treat my ADHD. Now I'm being forced off of it because it cant be found. Also. there's no advocacy from the manufacturers, distributors or pharmacies. and in addition to adderal withdrawal, im quarantined. please share any information, insight or advice on how to obtain this medication legally

[@QuiK075]

It’s good to know I’m not the only and by the comments I see a lot people who suffer the consequences of it, at least for me I’ve lost relationships and friends over the years, I’ve been called even a psychopath because of my uncontrolled anger at times 😖

[@juliacrane3212]

I just started screaming at my boyfriend because I lost our charger again, and I felt as if he was being really mean ahout it, while in reality, I was being really mean to myself and put that on him. I'm really trying to work on myself, but I've recently stopped taking my meds and I forgot how mindnumbingely frustrating it is to live in my mind without numbing it all

[@nathanielbarragan882]

I find that I don't have too many problems with emotional regulation but that is mostly because I also have severe depression, which usually causes me to just sit in that emotional slump at all times. I do, however relate with RSD. I always feel that, and I find myself getting mad at people for complimenting me all the time. The worst part is cleaning up the damage afterwards. I hate the part of cleaning it up, because I know, in the end, I only have myself to blame for it. It's extremely frustrating.

[@mkcomet]

Nathaniel Barragan I deal with the same stuff so it’s hard for me to keep relationships with others it just ends up with me hating myself in the end

1st i want to get out of the way. I love how the ff7 remake ad pops up after watching this video lol 2nd I had no idea that myself being more emotional than most other guys had been because of my adhd, as well as the rest that you said in this vid. My mind is blown from learning about this. I hope to see another video from you soon. I can't get enough!

Thank you. Your words were what I was needing today

[@shazsimpson369]

I'm so glad I watched all this now I understand and because I didn't understand why I was getting so upset so easy tears would just flood down my face and I couldn't understand😥 and as for my anger😣 outbursts they come from Nowhere but gone really quickly and I am so sorry to everyone for shouting😂 Thank you for this video, sorry old school I am😂 it will help me lots to try and I will try and check myself now 😊I will let you know how I get on, thank you🥰 stay safe🥰

[@codygay3412]

Great video man! This is great info to get out and help others. I seriously can relate.

[@LuckyL0ki]

finally, this has been said. thank you for bringing awareness to this. i never knew until less than a year ago why i always struggled with what i've called "big emotions." it makes so much since why no therapy i was in helped me until after i recieved my ADHD diagnosis. it can be difficult for ADHDers to even identify their emotions, let alone regulate them

[@poncho5867]

I have adhd and I had a melt down yesterday and I was hitting myself my Fred’s has to calm me down I have good friends

[@jasonlong1313]

Great explanation man! I might post this to my blog to help explain my ADHD brain.

[@MewithADHD]

Thanks! Yeah go ahead that would be awesome! :)

[@frankreynolds7640]

When I'm angry I take it out on myself. I go downstairs to my garage and bang a broom stick or bat against the concrete wall, sometimes till I have blisters. This is especially the case when I make a mistake. It's the emotion I have the most trouble managing. I've recently been diagnosed and since then I've learned to cope in a far less destructive way.

[@the_neighbors_kid5814]

I remember one of my mood swings. I got so mad at my brothers for stealing a...little gummy....that a through an apple and it broke a picture frame. at that moment my emotions went for anger to sad so fast. the best part was my parents never found out.😅😔🥺😂

[@gianthills]

a trail of it my whole life.. loose canon. never knew why until recently.

[@appelakkount1631]

So honest! Thx 💪😊🙏. But still... I have the same, about that emotions. I know how emotions can go from 2 till 10 in a view seconds, and how that feels. And that it feels like that mine emotions are the steering wheel instead of myself. But still...it should not be like that, becausethatfeelings can be a burning flame inside what i also can bring in the interaction. Why can it sometimes be so hard to controle that? From all the ADD things,that is what i don't like the most. .

[@co1985mn]

My doctor gave me Gabapentin for anxiety. It calms me down. I feel a little sedated. But I rather be a little sedated then to get angry quickly.

[@abbysworld05]

I’ve struggled with rejection since childhood, probley even before my adhd was noticed cuz they think it came when I was in 3rd grade but that’s probably cuz a year later I got diagnosed but I was getting checked for autism but i had adhd instead

[@questshun808]

Trying to understand why my wife gets extremely angry and rageful. She got diagnosed with adhd last year and I didn’t really connect the anger dots until now because we got into and her and anger and rage is over top the for situation, she’s always been like this and she would gaslight me and make me think it’s my fault and like I’m the crazy one but it makes sense now. I’m her husband and trying to hang in there as long as she lets me, just trying to find the strength to carry on everyday while taking an emotional beating is very hard.

[@nichollebraspennickx943]

So helpful! Impulsivity explanation…

[@NephiylusBaphson]

It's weird being diagnosed from an early age but only feeling understood now that I'm 19 and already went through my teenage years not knowing all of this was also because ADHD and not because I am a failure at being normal.

My anger i take out on my first younger sister because she’s perfect and is the favorite and she dosent have social issues and dosent have to deal with people not liking and dosent have a hard time making friends because people without ADHD or people who don’t understand it see me has annoying and being bullied from a young age and I don’t have many friends but even though ADD people don’t have the hyper part of adhd so not talkative they still understand adhd people because to people without it there still different then other peers without it

[@summero-my5in]

So much same about the injustices part

[@teacherreadtous4273]

Thank you for this video.

[@ring_camera]

I couldn't focus in class so I asked my friend what was going on and she was like "Why don't you pay attention?" And I had a COMPLETE meltdown and she ignored me. It was like I couldn't stop crying, the sadness and anger built up more and more to where I wanted to throw things and punch people, which is something I'm to afraid to do but I was IN THE ZONE. My friend doesn't belive in ADHD so its kinda irritating. Can anyone let me know if what I experienced could possibly be an ADHD meltdown?

[@C_Kava]

[@d1987reid]

My rage happens when people suck at driving. For instance, if a person rides my bumper or drives too slow for no reason or just being fucking stupid on the road. I even bang my car horn and scream profanity at people too if they drive in a fucked up way just to goddamn piss me off.

I had a meltdown yesterday visiting Alton towers. We went to visit the chained oak (the real hex tree) and walking in the mud made me have a verbal breakdown…. I don’t understand why but I feel bad cos I think I offended dad cos it was his idea to visit it…. I apologised and he didn’t think anything of it, but I still feel bad… why would I have a meltdown for just walking in mud? It’s beyond me! Everyone else cracked on with it…

I always described myself as an animal i act on instinct always knew something was off about me. I have full range of emotions just that i cant always understand why i feel a certain way i just act ,this thing pisses me of 0-60 i react or get annoyed. wasn't until i visited a doctor that i got sent to a psychologist (had trouble eating feelt like crap stomach churning didnt know what it was apparently it was stress and anxiety) they said you ever think you might have ADHD, i was like uhh me? i dunno, Maybe? so i went for an ADHD evaluation and sure enough as an adult i got the diagnose. Now iam waiting for medication se if that does anything to sooth and keep me in check sometimes it just feels like im fast and the world is slow and sometimes it feels like im slow and the world is fast.

Is anyone else completley exhausted after such a meltdown no matter if silent or loud or somewhere in between? And did anyone else find a healthier coping mechanisim than eating sweeets to get some energy?
