Possibly. I have those same feelings, however, I feel like it's something that isn't ADHD. I haven't had a diagnosis for whatever is making us feel this way, as I'm self medicating now with hemp (not just for this symptom or trait). I understand how you feel, and I'm proud of you for being sober!

Thankyou for your reply I agreed with my doctors to get my addiction sorted To eventually find out what could be happening with my moods I understand exactly how to keep sober by Keeping doing whats suggested Witch includes AA meetings etc etc For me trying to live in normal society is very challenging I honestly don't need drugs or alcohol to get high and euphoric But on the other hand my moods go down 👇 very quickly sometimes takes ages to go back up. Am I normal lol 😂 Something not rite
