Re: ADD and Suicide?

Well thanks, Trashman. I’m glad I found your post as I find wading through these forums nearly impossible – just too much information to digest. I don’t know why it is that this format is harder on me than other online forums, but it it.

I can be easily overwhelmed and frustration boils up and adds to the stress. I don’t want to have a tantrum, but sometimes that’s how I manage to get the energy to “bleed off.”

It helps to know that emotions override our ability to think and a person with ADHD has a very hard time with emotions as they race from one end of the spectrum to the other. I don’t meditate, but I try to do the next best thing – just recognize that the flood of emotions for what they are and focus on letting them drain away. If you’re familiar with Star Trek, try to imagine yourself as one of the emotionless Vulcans from the series, using rituals to let logic rise above emotion.

Like I said, doesn’t work all the time, sometimes the stuff just comes on way too fast. But for me at least, any problem that I can identify is one I can seek to fix.
