Do you have ADHD? Do you often feel as if you\u2019re an erupting volcano of emotions, covering all the people around you in toxic anger gases and blistering verbal lava? Like a volcano, your eruptions are unpredictable and fierce. They can offend or anger bosses, friends and family members. And what\u2019s weird is: they\u2019re often caused by a tiny glitch in your day, nothing particularly BIG in the scheme of things.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how ADHD people often experience emotions, especially frustration, fear, and anger.\u00a0 <\/span>ADHD people often report being overwhelmed by an emotion, unable to stop expressing what they\u2019re feeling. This is called emotional dysregulation, or flooding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. William Dodson, an expert in ADHD syndrome, says that having little ability to regulate emotions is perhaps the most important component of ADHD, yet it\u2019s often ignored in an ADHD diagnosis.<\/p>\n

For many people with ADHD, the brain\u2019s\u00a0mechanism for regulating emotion doesn\u2019t see a difference between potentially dangerous events and minor stressors.\u00a0 <\/span>As a result, the ADHD brain doesn\u2019t\u00a0deal rationally and realistically with events that are stressful but not \u201clife-threatening.\u201d Fear or anger is felt so intensely that there\u2019s no ability to stop the volcano from blowing.<\/p>\n

So, what can you do to cope with this symptom of ADHD?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a link to a great article <\/a>in ADDitude Magazine. You\u2019ll see that a primary resource is the support of people who accept you for who you are and encourage you, even when you have an eruption! One of those support people could be an ADHD coach. A coach can help you increase self-awareness around how your ADHD shows up and find strategies to mitigate volcanic activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
