Reacting Out of Frustration?
In past posts have I talked about how important the 24 hour rule is to people with ADD. I know that the 24 hour rule doesn't always apply because sometimes we need to respond to urgent situations. If this is the case it is important to make sure that we are in fact responding and not just reacting and showing frustration.
I have been guilty of reacting to situations and showing my frustration. This is something that I have become more aware of and practice responding instead of just reacting. I know that customer service reps on the other side of the phone are probably quite relieved by this.
I have learned that showing my frustration doesn't help me. In some cases it really hurts me and makes me look bad. In some cases where I know I may have a chance of showing my frustration, I write out a little script before hand and try very hard to stick to that script.

Featured Living with ADD Story
What can I say...Hello, I think I have ADD. I am 33 and I am just beginning what seems like is going to be a battle and I already feel like I am in a full blown war. What is up with people's skepticism about ADD? Give me a flippin break. I have told a couple of people, people who seem to really care about me, that I really think I have ADD and all I can get is, What makes you think that?
Then I will struggle to explain as I feel like I am on trial for a crime I didn't commit trying to convince them I am not jumping on some "ADD band wagon". It absolutely unnerves me! I just can't seem to make people understand what kind of impact this is having on my life. I'm sure I wouldn't get the same kind of reaction if I said, I have cancer. Sorry about ranting I am just overwhelmed, go figure.
