And then the worst part is like eventually I know I’ll feel better and then I’ll just be like .. fine. But also, intermittently when the situation comes up or maybe I remember I’ll get all dysregulated again! It’s so much work.

Does it sound exhausting? IT IS. And it only lasts a little while and then it comes back again and I have to do it all over again.
Because of ONE shitty comment from ONE person who I’m NOT EVEN THAT CLOSE WITH but who gives me the anxiety and I care what they think

1. Immediately called and vented to my safe people and had them reinforce that I should not take reactive action
2. Cried (tears literally release cortisol and help turn the amygdala off by closing the stress cycle)
3. Had a friend come over to distract me and keep me company

Like it just straight up don’t do what it’s supposed to do. So; we are more prone to taking reactive action that is out of line with our long term social goals. The ACC fires up to mitigate emotional responsiveness and reactivity to have actions come in line with long term goals / social goals

Despite rest and a bit of time my nervous system is STILL SO KEYED UP like I keep having to manage the constant rage at the injustice of the situation. I am relying heavily on my friends and supports to be my “wise mind” because as we all know, the anterior cingulate cortex of a person with ADHD sux
