Re: Does ADD make us abnormally argumentative?

librarian_chef – my ADD husband drives me crazy because he has to do what you’ve described when making a big purchase. I am the impulsive one, I want it right away!

I didn’t think about the inability to regulate emotions. Part of the work with my therapist is learning how to feel my emotions. My goal is to feel one coming on and just experience it rather than unconsciously acting on it or dumping it (usually anger).

I do meditation, so am learning how to keep quiet, but it’s very hard, my mind is still quite active.

My husband enjoyed the few weeks after my double jaw surgery years ago when I wasn’t supposed to/able to talk, and I could only use a whiteboard to say what I needed to say. I learned how to be short & sweet in conversation. We both wish it had lasted longer!
