NOTE

Being Flip Switch People

Individuals with ADHD often describe themselves as 'flip switch people' rather than 'dimmer switch people,' indicating that they are either fully on or completely off in terms of energy, motivation, task initiation, emotional regulation, and impulse control. Medication can provide some access to dimmer action but mainly helps in gaining control over the flipping of the switch. For instance, a person noted the impact of their medication when they chose to prioritize managing their emotions over being irritable during a tough period. They observed a significant improvement in their ability to regulate emotions and stay focused shortly after resuming medication.
