-With ADHD and antidepressant medication (lisdexamfetamine and sertraline) but of course only in consultation with a qualified professional (neurologist, psychiatrist). -Additionally, consciously allow boredom during the day: I keep my smartphone out of sight and remove anything that distracts me. I just stare at a wall for a while and use that time to sort my thoughts or use my imagination and create something in my mind. Basically, I give myself time to process all the stimuli from the day.
Thanks for your message, indeed that's a good solution. But I have the impression that by doing that people think I'm running away and I don't want to communicate. But it's just that I'm incapable of it, my emotions are too strong.
Totally get being impulsive and impatient. Im terribly impatient and I do a dramatic show every time, but I question if it’s something really important or not. But I’ll still complain and such.
Totally get that, I stress about that too sometimes, but I try to make it really clear that the conversation will continue later, repeating it in a chaotic way, and I just need to cool down before losing my mind. Also it is technically better than fully losing it on them. (But that’s just my opinion)
Still figuring it out. Most of the time, when I notice I’m getting angry and feeling frustrated, I tell whoever I’m talking to that I need a break and go out for a walk to argue in my brain and burn off energy. It gives me time to think about what happened and figure out how to deal with it, also whether the anger is rational or just my emotions going haywire. If it’s an object or something else, I just do the same thing, taking a break from it, going for a walk and rethink the situation. Still letting my emotions flow but internally, like a conversation.
