How aggressive was his out burst?

I find if I am engrossed in something (hyperfocusing) someone interrupting me can startle the hell out of me. And I yell. Dont mean it as an attack. Biut it can sound like one. Because of being shaken out of the intensity of the focus.

When hyperfocusing I sometimes don't realize its time to do stuff like eating,going to the bathroom etc.
I notice when I am on the verge of passing out or I barely make it to the bathroom in time. I have alarms. They help.

Adhd makes it so you have no sense of time 10 minutes an hour all the same to me.

Fidget toys help. Without Adderall life would be unmanageable for me. It saves my ass. Also I get irritated by noises lights. But I need background noise to manage my attention when I do normal things.


Here is a graphic I find really helpful in explaining some of symptoms and effects on people with adhd.

Pm me if you want to talk ok.
