ADHD rage when I’m told to do something else in the middle of something

Emotional Regulation & Rejection Sensitivity

I hope I flaired this right, but how do I regulate my emotions when I’m told to do something else in the middle of me doing something? Because I was in the middle of doing my makeup (which I already have to put a lot of energy towards idk why) and my mom asked me to move my car. Immediately I was really frustrated and mad, and my mom asked what was wrong after I moved my car and when I tried to explain to her what was going on in my brain I felt like I couldn’t get it across, and I felt bad because my mom was already stressed out with stuff to do this morning.
I really hate that I do this and I need tips from other adhd women on how to regulate my emotions when stuff like this happens.
