Great thread on ADHD, rumination, emotional dysregulation, and reactivity:

hey you know how when you have #ADHD sometimes your thoughts are all swirly and you just keep chewing on the same thought over and over and you can't stop thinking about it and it's distracting you and sometimes even putting you in a really bad mood or making you irritable?

Rumination + Emotional Dysregulation often leads to REACTIVITY. We have low impulse control already so being in a state of severe emotional pain and not being able to stop thinking about something often leads us to thinking we need to take action to get relief

In our family, exposure anxiety and rejection sensitive dysphoria are sources of rumination leading to reactivity.
