not being able to talk about my adhd

i really want to know if anyone else has gone through this or if they still are because it’s so confusing everytime i try talk about my adhd or my meds i get really upset like on the verge of tears or just burst out sobbing. i’m not looking for sympathy i just really want to know if anyone else is like this . i feel so sad and angry when im talking about it to psychologists or even my family when where trying to figure out dosages and how to help with them and i just can’t listen to it it’s not like people are being rude about it and i get upset it’s just when i have to talk about it with someone my nervous system goes into fight or flight so quick and i don’t know why because im really not the type of person who cries a lot but since ive been trying to help myself with understanding what it is and trying diffrent solutions and everything i can’t hold it in has anyone got any tips or even relate? i would love to hear ❤️❤️

Maybe the idea of having a diagnosis is just hard and you feel angry about it and the docs and ur family or maybe yourself...we accept, we understand ourselves, it comes to help immensely in naming our feelings, faults and even strength...but it's still a diagnosis and put us all out of the "pattern box" or of "normal" (whatever that is). It's uncomfortable, people frequently don't understand its just...hard. On top of that may be the realization that that's been your life all along and ur not lazy, crazy, forgetful ou other stuff people say (heard them all here). It's a relief, but it's also new and scary. Anyway...psychotherapy could help if you have access...

Totally agree with this. Personally I suffer from depression...it took me a decade to just accept the fact, but I'm still angry and sad, with a feeling of injustice too. Adhd is a symptom in my case, I don't have any medication for it, but I'll tell you this for sure... do cry when you feel it coming, don't hold back out of pride or not to trouble people. Emotions are better out than stuck inside ... it does lead to physical illnesses or aches. You can also have a journal to write everything that goes through your mind rather then explaining it, if it's too overwhelming. Good luck 🫂

I did for a year after getting diagnosed. I would always cry after talking about adhd at a doctor appointment. I don’t know why. 🤔 Come to think about it I still cry sometimes.

Is it possible, that all the problems of fighting with yourself for you are in this (name, diagnosis)? Like a flashback to all the stress, when you haven't known, what's going on and so it's just overwhelming? If this makes an echo in you, you need perhaps more time, to feel all the related emotions🧐🤞
