## Resource

Why does anger sometimes feel like relief for ADHD women? In this episode of Angry on the Inside, Jess and Jeannine explore the connection between ADHD restlessness and anger, and why anger can temporarily bring clarity, focus, and motivation. They unpack how under-stimulation in the ADHD brain can turn restlessness into conflict, why anger creates a powerful surge of activation, and why that relief doesn’t last. They discuss rage cleaning, doom scrolling, justice sensitivity, and the shame cycle many late-diagnosed women experience once anger passes and how awareness helps interrupt the pattern without self-blame. This episode isn’t about excusing harmful behavior. It’s about understanding what’s happening in the ADHD nervous system and finding safer ways to meet the brain’s need for stimulation without blowing up relationships. Take what resonates. Leave the rest.
