ADHD emotions often arrive without a dimmer switch. Overwhelm, rejection sensitivity, and sudden shame can take an afternoon before you have named them.

This guide explains the mechanism gently, then offers what to do in the first ten minutes, the first hour, and the day after — including what to say to yourself, which is often the hardest part.

What's inside

  • What emotional dysregulation actually is, in plain terms
  • A ten-minute plan for the peak of it
  • Language for rejection sensitivity when it arrives
  • A page for the day after, written kindly
