The Learning Advocate

My ADHD makes me agitated a lot. It has to do with the internalization of hyperactivity that happens as you mature with impulsivity. I'm one of the lucky ADHDers that is combined type: both inattentive and impulsive! Emotional regulation is something I deal with all day long...

I've been experimenting with an app to support my emotional regulation. I will admit, I'm usually quite suspicious of these things (these things being anything that keeps someone looking at their device). However, with this app I track my ups and downs throughout the day. It has tools too, and I am slowly starting to use them. Now, that's a thing for a ADHDer. This is something I'm using CONSISTENTLY- the holy grail of ADHD behavior!

Also, and important, it has lots of feeling words, with definitions, that help someone specify how they are feeling. Lots of young people don't have words for feelings beyond happy and sad.

Good for middle school and up.
