11. Flash Temper
Many people with ADHD are taken aback by their own emotions, especially when they shift quickly and leave no time to ponder, contemplate, or feel. They act on or express emotions in these situations without having the opportunity to filter them. The flash temper is the most common unexpected emotion that gets people with ADHD into trouble. In an instant, you go from zero to FU. Medications can alleviate this symptom, giving persons with ADHD the same two seconds that everyone else has to recognize an emotion and determine, “I really shouldn’t express that.”
