The emotion commotion of ADHD can hurt self-esteem, relationships, and just about everything else in life. Here’s what you should know to control it.

(4) Always tense and on edge.

Many ADHDers say the same thing when you ask them about their emotional life: “I am always tense, I can never relax. I can’t just sit there and watch a TV program with the rest of the family. Because I’m sensitive to other people disapproving of me, I am fearful in personal interactions.” Most kids after age 14, don’t show much overt hyperactivity, but it’s still present internally.

專注力不足過度活躍人士的情緒動蕩問題不但損害個人自尊和人際關係,更令生活中差不多每樣事物都受到影響。了解多一些問題的癥結所在,有助更好地控制情緒。

(4) 經常處於緊張狀態

當被問及他們的日常情緒狀況時,很多ADHD人士都會有同樣的說法:「我總是很緊張,不能放鬆。我不能就這樣坐著和家人一起看電視,因為我對其他人的反應非常敏感,怕他們不認同我,對與人交流感到恐懼。」大多數14歲以上的ADHD孩子都不再顯得過度活躍,但其實在他們的内心,過度活躍還是存在的。
