Intense emotions are difficult to cope with thats for sure. Im just begginning to understand my emotions… well I have two emotions it seems. VERY hyper and happy, to VERY angry and raging for no reason. I think that was the biggest help from my ADD coach. Was being able to stop and reflect on that rage or excitement. Sadly we are slaves to our emotions it seems with ADD. Thats a different ramble!
Before I start rambling again, I think you are asking about how to actually get things done? Like accomplish daily tasks, goals etc? That question had me running in circles… Is that what your asking?
With me I have all my goals laid out I knew how to get there… all the steps in between but for the life of me still couldnt get it done. The easiest of things! I had all this energy and motivation! I could do this and that! This needs to be done! That needs to be done!! askdjasl,kjdhas lkjdha lskjdh thats my interpretation of my excited/intense state. But then where to begin?? THeres so much to do!! Its not as easy as this or that! Soon someone telling me to simply wash the floor has turned into a huge overwhelming situation! What soap do I use? Do I use a rag? Which one? What temperature should the water be? Where do I start? Wash in circles? etc etc and then theres the pressure of family! Why cant you just do your laundry? Just do it! Gosh.. if only it were that simple. They dont understand how complicated out brains make it, never mind pairing that up with the overwhelming emotions of overwhelm, failure, and some days no energy, when other days you could run laps around the world and nothing will stop you!
