    For me it’s not just anger, I seem to feel things 10x more. Usually just the negative emotions 🙄. So anger, shame, guilt, sadness, etc. I always thought this was normal, but I’ve learned it is part of emotional dysregulation. I finally got diagnosed with ADHD, but it was hard to say if it was ADHD or major depressive disorder initially. So my doctor and I tried a bunch of things until I hit on Vyvanse, and I finally feel like I have control. The anti depressants did nothing and I’ve stopped taking them once I started Vyvanse (with my docs approval). So that pretty much confirmed it was ADHD for me.

    So it might be ADHD but it could also be part of depression. Find a psychiatrist that specializes in ADHD to help you navigate this since the treatments for each can be very different
