Lesson Overview

1.23 – ADHD and Impulsivity in Suicide Risk: When your mind races faster than your control can keep up, impulsive thoughts can feel like commands instead of warnings. ADHD can make emotions spike hard and fade fast, and that rollercoaster can lead to dangerous choices when you’re hurting. Sometimes you act before you even know what pushed you. Learning to pause—even for a few seconds—can save your life. External tools like timers, safe contacts, or calming objects can interrupt impulsive urges. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s adding space between thought and action. ADHD doesn’t mean you’re reckless—it means your brain reacts fast, and you need support that matches its speed. Talking openly about impulse control helps people understand it’s not weakness but wiring. With practice, you can train your reactions to slow down enough to choose safety. Every pause you take proves your strength.
