I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and I've been on meds for the past two weeks or so. Around Sunday I started feeling really sick with the flu and just generally run down, unable to get out of bed etc. My parents have been on my back about being "proactive" about trying to get better but I literally feel so sick I don't want to move.

Either way, that's led to today where they had a massive go at me and were screaming in my face. I can't understand why they're acting like this, and I tried to tell them but they just continued shouting. Eventually I just got so overwhelmed by everything and I guess the sickness I began pulling my hair and shouting in frustration, all I wanted in that moment was to disappear somewhere away from them. This whole meltdown led on to me digging my nails into my forehead and clawing my skin. I've now got cuts across my face and I feel even worse. I don't know why I reacted like that and I feel so pathetic.

Does anyone else experience their emotions this strongly? I hate myself for the way I am and I wish I didn't act like this. How do you all cope when you get to that point?
