Hi everyone,

I am struggling with severe emotional dysregulation during relationship conflicts and could use some ADHD specific coping strategies.

When a conflict arises, my brain immediately goes into emergency mode and it feels like 0 to 100 spike where I lose all the ability to be patient or calm. I feel a physical, desperate need to resolve the issue instantly. My emotions become so loud that I stop "thinking" and start "reacting" leading to impulsive behaviour.

How do you force a pause when your brain is screaming that everything is an emergency? Has anyone successfully worked on distress tolerance?

Hello everyone, I came across this Spark learning resource and felt the concepts were clearly explained.
