hello I am 48 and got diagnosed with ADHD 2 years ago I have struggled through life from school to relationships and addiction I was a single father at 24 and I guess that kept me busy I find life a constant battle I always knew something wasn’t right with me and the diagnosis was quite hard hitting I have just started 2 new medications 1 yesterday i constantly get stressed and angry i am way over sensitive which is positive and negative I’m am so loving but when I get hurt it smashes my soul , there is a condition that comes with adhd called rejection sensitive dysphoria which is way out of my control to control my emotions everyday is a battle I can be the most beautiful person but such a nasty person I do not have control over my emotions I’m desperate for this medication to work although there’s things that trigger my anger off I’m being told i really over react my mouth is vicious if I don’t gain control I’m gonna lose the most beautiful person I have ever met I’m down but I’m not defeated the battle rages on 🙏

Welcome, Wayne. Sounds like it's been quite a hard life but you're investing a lot in a new start. I can sort of relate to some of what you say. 'Rejection sensitivity' is also supposed to be a 'symptom' of 'atypical depression', and when I was rejected I took it very hard, but rarely lashed out. A problem with me is I often don't really know what I'm feeling, but I might be acting on it anyway. Have you ever read or learned any assertiveness ('power within' rather than 'power over'), anger management or Nonviolent Communication?
Also I'd suggest checking in with a doctor or whoever if the new medication might be making some aspects worse.

I have RSD a lot.
I belive many with ADHD have it.
I am going down a non medication path - but I am signing up for CBT Cognative Behavioral Therapy
CBT is supposed to be good for RSD.
I start CBT soon
I found just KNOWING about ADHD and RSD is a HUGE help.
