Does this sound like ADHD to you

I dont know what I have but Ive been told before I probably have ADHD or something similar but I dont know exactly what that is could someone tell me? I know it some sort of temper disorder or something like that?

Basically If im having a stressed out day and I haven't had any cigs for a few days or sometimes it even happens when im having a perfectly normal day I would just lash out I dont know what the fuck is wrong with me!

Like I would just lash out for no reason It randomly comes on in a split second and I go mad and cant control myself I just lose my temper BIG TIME start punching the shit out of the walls and stuff leaving all my knuckles bleeding and smashing things up and shouting and screaming as loud as I can its hard to explain it lasts for about 20 mins which is quite a long time to be pissed of to the max, then after it happens I just think "why the FUCK did i do that" I dont have any control over myself at all it like something takes over me reminds me of roid rage or something even though I've never done them, anyone else get this at all? Its probably just me because I know its not normal.

SOUNDS NOTHING LIKE ADHD...

But you have something that gives you mood changes.. Like 1 second your all happy and the next your getting pissed off at nothing. I forgot what IT was called *Blazed*
PEace man

Like mood swings yeah? I hope your not thinking of bi-polar lol.

Well does it happen often?

Not really 1-3 times a month.

I'd go for anger management before adderall.

Lol that useless spend one hour a week going to talk to some prick it doesnt actually help.

Okay, then try marijuana.

Really!? I heard marijuana makes you insane dude! lol, nah but seriously anyone know??

That's not ADHD, Cannabis. Here in America, our Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for mental stuff calls that "Intermittent explosive disorder." It's basically just bouts of rage that aren't a reaction that's really in proportion to what's happening. I've heard people also term it "rage-a-holic," at least when someone has a lot of episodes of it. It's serious when it's bad because people can really harm others they like or love--or can harm property. Intermittent explosive folks can really get themselves into legal trouble, too. From what I've read Lip describe about his temper, he has this, too. It often happens to people who had parent who tended to have fits of rage and violent abusiveness, both verbal or physical. Often the parent who modeled it also has drug or alcohol addiction, too.

Yeah that pretty much sounds like what you got, I dont know what to do about it though sometimes it would happen quite a lot like 6-8 times a month and I would feel like a bit of a dick going into the doctors and explaning I lose my temper for no good reason.

I definatly have it. It scares me sometimes, so i dont want to know what it does to others.

I dont want to be like it, and afterwards i always regret it, but when i loose it, im gone. I'm a differnt person.

I've come TOO close so many times. And yeah, it's got me in trouble with the police too.

The adreniline takes over and i just go insane [only way to describe it] nothing hurts me, so i never stop. I cant stop.

I even went to anger management classes but got thrown out coz i had an argument.

I'm not as bad as i used to be - but i still loose my temper every couple of months and put my fist through something. I've kind of forced myself to hit objects rather than people - but when someone says something to me i see red and dont think about what im doing or the consequences.

Weed has certainly helped, but it's no cure.

I blame my father - in our house there was a big stand up argument everyday, and it normally eneded in a punch up.

It's a confusing thing - i dont want to be like this at all, but then i think to myself if i wasnt like this i wouldnt be as untouchable as i am now. People dont go for me coz i gave myself a bit of a reputation for being a "nutter"


When i was a teenager i thought it was a good thing everyone was scared of me, but i hate it now. It's embarrasing.

If im around mates and i loose it they know to just go outside and wait untill it's over.

Yeah just like you I dont know what It does to other but It cant be nice I feel especially guilty If it happens when my mums around and i feel guilty as fuck afterwards.

Luckily never gotten in trouble with the police for it but it probably wont be long until I do.

I dont live with my dad anymore (he left 2 years ago) but I remember when he was small and sometimes used to take his anger out on my mum I remember one incident where he threatened me with a kitchen knife up to my face I will always remember that but he wont do anything like that now because he knows ill kill him. Once when I lose my temper I put a knife up to his throat and I've chased him down the street with a bat before now that I think back on it it was a bit scary but hilarious at the same time because I dont really like my dad and I think that was all my temper coming out plus it was because he was going through a divorce with my mum and saying things to me like "your gonna have a new mum soon" and I warned him to stop but he kept saying it haha the cunt, oh well at least I'll have his money when he dies.

Guess its just an effect of coming from a broken home me and LIP both.

When I lose my temper it seriously is like im another person and it makes me think of roid rage or something because I dont think about anything I could easily stab someone and not care or hesitate I wouldnt care if I ended up in prison I just lose it completely and while weed does help I cant be stoned 24/7 and I would be embarrased telling a doctor about this :(.

When im not angry i could never hurt someone - but when i loose it, like you, i could do anything. I could cut someones throat and not feel a shred of guilt, infact i'd probably laugh. THAT is what scares me afterwards.

I've hit never a woman, and wont.

I've threatened my old man so many times with knives - he used to piss me of so much i used to think about killing him. That's when i moved out and got my own place - and now i dont live with em me and my dad are both happier - but it hasnt got rid of my violence and outbursts.


Could you imagine us both walking down a street in a foul mood - people would be running for cover!
