Hi Guys, im 17 and in the past couple months ive realized ive had ADHD all my life, always realized i was different but couldn't ever pin it down. Just been to the GP and now awaiting a referral.
Does anyone else suffer impulsivity issues with parents and siblings properly. Probably because ive known them all my life and from issues doing it when younger, i swear alot at my sisters and brothers over nothing. Get overwhelmed with what they're saying and probably slight ODD in there too. Im good with words and always end up getting them upset and sometimes i dont know why because what ive said i dont perceive as offensive. i struggle with my mum the most and swear alot at her and get her upset easily. Personally, with my siblings im not that bothered because what i say is always true and i have to protect my ego from them, as petty as it sounds. but i dont like getting my mum upset and get annoyed with myself when i get her upset simply because she does so much. When i was younger i had issues regulating emotions (still do today, but its better) and used to hit myself in the head or against a wall, and with a high pain threshold, i did it vigorously. Now i just get upset that i do it and want to know any coping methods any of you guys have about regulating your impulsivity. Recreational weed helped with my impulsivity and anxiety but still suffer it today and to be honest, struggle not to have massive arguments multiple times a day. What i say isnt so much as mean but over analysing everything so im in the right, and i guess im the only one i know with this trait. Usually i have trigger words, any offensive word (which i perceive as offensive) and then i start massive arguments. the only time i have civil arguments is when im in a very calm state of mind and having minimal issues throughout the day (anxiety, constant hyperactivity whilst at college all day or not being overwhelmed) but then i end up being a psycopath and end up my siblings going into crying meltdowns. Implulsive fighting isnt as large of a issue any more due to better emotional regulation. i'm sure im not the only one who suffers from this.
Probably could've been more concise but id end up writing a larger paragraph, sorry for the reading guys. Can anyone compare to this and either share their story or give some tips on their combination of non medicated impulsivity and emotional regulation issues.
