mental health and adhd
i have adhd. i can be aggressive and abusive, also occasionally emotionally manipulative if i dont get my way. i get very depressed sometimes, but im also a generally happy person, looking forward to the future but that can switch sometimes especially the evenings or if i spend time alone or inside. i find love very confusing, i was adopted at 18 months and i have an odd connection with my adoptive parents as well as friends. i have one best friend and we argue a lot and i kind of switch on people if they make me mad. and its scary because i feel like a different person when im angry and i have the smallest amount of control of my actions so that gets me in trouble. im on 10 mg of ritalin, its shit tbh. i cant think of any other symptoms because i forget everything.
i just want to know if this is all because of my adhd or its some sort of personality disorder or something
sorry this post is a mess
We’re not therapists or counselors or doctors, so we can’t diagnose you with anything. However, I will say that I definitely think that you should talk to a therapist or counselor or doctor about all of these symptoms, not just ADHD symptoms. Being “aggressive and abusive” can get you in serious trouble, and you don’t have to continue to act that way. A good therapist can help you find better and safer ways to deal with the ups and downs of life.
