Be Positive
Brainstorm positive solutions to situations that make you angry. When you’re in a situation that's pushing your buttons, choose the best solution to act upon, and have a back-up plan if the first solution doesn't work. People with attention deficit have a tendency to overreact to failures, so if your Plan A doesn't work, don't dwell on it--just move on and learn from the experience.
Congratulate yourself. Give yourself kudos each and every time you manage to lessen your anger and give yourself more appropriate ways of responding. Not only will your relationships with others improve as you continue to control your anger, but recognizing your accomplishment will give you a nice boost to your self-esteem.
