ADHD64 | I’ve lightly struggled with ADHD my whole life, especially growing up. But as an adult, I was able to go without meds and handle myself to a reasonable extent.
Almost two years into the pandemic, my ADHD has been the worst it’s ever been. I’m now on two anti-depressants and adderall, and things are barely getting better.
I live alone in a 2br apartment. I work mostly remote, with a few days in the office here and there.
But I’ve never felt the manifestation of my ADHD as bad as it is now. I’ll spend literal days in bed, content to doomscroll and watch YouTube.
During the pandemic, I started drinking and smoking cannabis. I’ve since mostly stopped drinking, but I’m still smoking, and I feel like that’s probably not helping my cause.
It’s like I’ve dug myself such a deep mental health hole, I have no idea how I’m gonna get out. I no longer have any idea if my meds are doing anything, but I’m scared to try and stop them. Work is stressful as fuck, and so it’s been such a chore to get things done. I just have no idea what to do.
Is anyone else experiencing anything like this? I’m in my 30s and this is really fuckin things up in my life. Any advice for people who’ve figured something out? | 2021-11-24T21:57:17.000Z | r1gaxr | 1 | 1 | ADHD | For those who live alone and work[ed] remotely, did your ADHD get substantially worse during the pandemic? | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/r1gaxr/for_those_who_live_alone_and_worked_remotely_did/ |

Loud_Jeweler_1774 | What I recall is, I woke up this morning and took my adderall XR, went to rest for about 30 mins to let it kick in. I ended up falling back asleep before then.
When I woke up, It still didn't feel like it was working. But I know i didn't forget to take it as I vaguely remember taking it this morning and I know how I feel when i haven't taken it at all. so now I'm thinking I only took one. It's 2:43 PM as I'm writing this. I really don't think I should take another one. But I'm worried how I'm going to feel tonight when this wears off! please! any advice would be greatly appreciated. | 2021-11-24T21:47:44.000Z | r1g3n9 | 8 | 2 | ADHD | Did I only take half my dose of adderall XR today? | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/r1g3n9/did_i_only_take_half_my_dose_of_adderall_xr_today/ |
BrandFIakes | Hi nice to meet you, I'm 23(M) and I am currently active duty Air Force. I've been battling the thought of having ADD/ADHD for about 6 years now.
TL;DR - Pretty sure I have ADHD, been coping with it for a while now. Attempted to console in my superior and it didn't go well
Kudos to you if you can understand my word vomit below. I've literally been typing this for about 25 minutes now and I can't seem to find a closing statement or organize my thoughts. Who knows maybe I have reached peak ADHDism. Also, this is my first post so if I violated any rules I am deeply sorry.
I have this pattern where I focus on researching ADHD and then completely forget about it within two weeks of interest. I wanted to know if there was anyone out there with similar life experiences. If so, please go ahead and type your equally nonsensical paragraphs below, maybe we can be friends or something. Idk if I have ADHD. I just feel really dumb rn.
I think this is the second or third time this year that I have researched this topic this year and I'm tired of it. After reading the posts below, it has motivated me to actually do something about it now. My only issue is that I'm afraid that I'll just end up being told I do not have ADHD.
Previously at my last base, I contacted Mental Health and was told that I had a "Procrastination" issue. I was instructed to contact her after 3 weeks of the first "Diagnosis" or whatever the hell you want to call that, and she officially came to the conclusion that I just needed to learn to manage my time. So, here I am 2 years later, having learned how to, "Manage Time, Cope with Stress, Set priorities, and Utilize a planner". (Just a heads up I'm entirely sorry about how confusing this post is, even I don't really know what I'm rambling about.)
Today I tried my best to explain ADHD to my current supervisor. It got to the point where I basically told him to watch a video about ADHD and take a walk in my shoes and afterwards MAYBE come talk to me. No matter what way I draw out these issues to people they just don't understand. I've also realized that any time I get into a school environment, I rely HEAVILY on coffee to even sort of focus. I have been putting off beginning school for this exact reason also, I am terrified that I'll spend all of this time and money to just neglect it all. I feel like a huge failure constantly wondering when I will actually begin to start to even inch toward any of the goals I've set up to this moment. Yet here I am typing complete nonsense into r/ADHD on my brand new MacBook Pro that I purchased out of pure impulse wondering why I even exist or how I have even made it this far.
And just to put this out there, I know I'm not dumb. I just don't know what I am. I just know that I have A LOT of things that I have aspired to do but NOTHING has stuff besides the military. And that's because I'll literally go to jail if I just decided, "Screw this I wanna go make YouTube videos cuz it's fun!" Hopefully this made you laugh or cry, and now you can use me as realization that there level to this hahaha. | 2021-11-24T21:45:10.000Z | r1g1oo | 4 | 1 | ADHD | I'm over this ADHD thing... | 0.67 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/r1g1oo/im_over_this_adhd_thing/ |
LedanDark | Myself I tend to fixate on stories and interesting things rather than my everyday life. Have you been able to focus on your own life as well as you do your interests?
It has been on my mind since I've recently had some life changes that has the potential to make my future more interesting. However, I'm worried that if i do manage to focus on my everyday life it will go the way of my other fixations. Like only last a few weeks and then would you I stop focusing on my life again?

afsdgsghdehrersad | Hi guys, recently diagnosed with ADHD and am trialing vyvanse (It's great so far!)
My psych has given me 30x 20mg capsules, with the following dosage schedule:
1 capsule a day for 5 days
2 capsules a day for 5 days
3 capsules a day until I see him next
​
My trouble is, there's 30 days between our appointments. As i've only been given 30 capsules, this means I only have enough capsules to last me 15 days. Does this look like an error on the psychs behalf or is this normal? | 2021-11-24T21:40:27.000Z | r1fy4v | 7 | 1 | ADHD | Do psychiatrists often perscribe a test period then a long break period? | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/r1fy4v/do_psychiatrists_often_perscribe_a_test_period/ |
TheMoondance | I've been taking 20mg Vyvanse on and off for the past few months, and the one symptom that has confounded me each and every time is the feeling of excessive hunger. No matter what I eat, it seems like it just goes right through me each and every time. I tend to also get diarrhea from the medication, and it seems like every time I eat something, I have to go. Then, after that, I just get really gassy and feel like I haven't eaten anything for days. I've looked all over to see if anyone else shares these symptoms, and to no avail. The same thing also happened with Concerta and Ritalin when I took those.
Those who have shared anything about it seem to solely get confused responses, and when I discussed it with my psychiatrist, she also didn't understand why I would be feeling *more* hungry from taking the medication. It's been a really irritating side effect, and one that I can't seem to figure out how to fix. I can try to pig out every day and see what happens, but when I'm taking a med that's designed to decrease hunger levels, it seems like I shouldn't have to do that to feel like I have something in my stomach.
I had another psych who I told about the diarrhea, and he basically just said that it was probably because of anxiety, but never actually offered any possible solutions because he was a jackass. My initial connection was that the diarrhea had something to do with me feeling like I hadn't eaten anything, but he shot that down.
My current psych and I are discussing switching me to Strattera, since I don't really enjoy the Vyvanse for reasons outside of just the hunger, but I'd like to know for future reference in case I decide to switch back to it or just so that it can be documented somewhere on the internet. | 2021-11-24T21:39:13.000Z | r1fx61 | 2 | 5 | ADHD | Is there any reason for stimulants to be making me this hungry? | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/r1fx61/is_there_any_reason_for_stimulants_to_be_making/ |

1VulgarWoman | I just came across the concept of planning days (or even weeks) by theme and doing only tasks that align with that theme. Writing day, errands day, cleaning day, etc.
If anyone has tried this I’d be really interested in hearing about your experience and if it helped with your executive functioning. My only concern is that if I don’t “feel like” doing the theme that day I’ll freeze and end up doing nothing. Planning what I want to work on ahead of time is a sure fire way to make my brain rebel and refuse to do it, but that could just be because I’m doing a lot of task switching most days?? | 2021-11-24T21:34:03.000Z | r1ft74 | 6 | 7 | ADHD | Planning days by “theme” | 0.9 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/r1ft74/planning_days_by_theme/ |

nofridgehere | I guess let me explain why this became a question in the first place. I matched with this girl on tinder I hit it off with some time ago, but after texting for a bit, I became severely unmotivated to continue as always, but I did feel really really bad about it and I wish I kept on texting her. Anyyyways, we just rematched on tinder (originally texted like 6 months ago or something) and I'm definitely interested in pursuing, but how do I explain myself with out sounding like an asshole or that I'm lying?? I just feel like most people don't really know that adhd is much more complex than "oh he's hyper" and that it'll sound like some excuse. I also want to be able to explain this to new friends I make because I keep making new friends but I'm unable to keep them because I lack the motivation to reply to their calls/texts, let alone being able to initiate a convo myself. The only person I "regularly" text is my best friend of 15 years, but it's mostly because he texts me first asking me if I'm okay and such. I just hate feeling so unmotivated about things I actually genuinely care about.

zozodevil | Well um I’m curious dose eny one els get what Iv come to call (hyper realistic dream)
Iv got adhd and autistic traits and I get dreams that sometimes I struggle to separate from reality it’s like living thro a past life if that makes sense I’d like to no if eny of you guys have had similar experiences I’ll got my first dream with about 3 years ago I rote it down when I woke up as it was horrific
Let’s begin.
I was driving a blue car with family I don’t recognise and can not remember what they look like then when I was getting out the car I Hurd 7 rounds ring out and I felt a hot feeling and what felt like a truck hitting me in the chest I was hit with three rounds all in chest and stomach I fell back in the car it was so real I felt the blood warm hot soaking my clothes and screaming all around me my hart was thumping as if it was jumping out of my chest my vision was going in and out I felt cold as my heart was slowing then I woke up in a sweet
Confused I rote it all down Iv had about 4 since almost all the same just with minor details gone.
I’m wonding if adhd is somehow linked with past life I need more answers I’d like your opinions please | 2021-11-24T21:17:37.000Z | r1fgt0 | 1 | 0 | ADHD | Not sure how to explain | 0.5 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/r1fgt0/not_sure_how_to_explain/ |
No-Poem166 | I recently got diagnosed with ADHD this last year and it has been absolutely life changing for me. I can't even begin to explain the differences, and I'm sure those who were diagnosed later in their life know exactly what I am talking about.
Anyway, my mother has always been very very distrustful towards "big pharma" and psychiatrists (she works in the mental health industry) so when I initially got my diagnosis, I kept it far away from her. One day while visiting my apartment, I had accidentally left my medication on the counter which spurred a huge fight and lots of tension afterwards. She absolutely refused to believe that I had ADHD and that I was harming myself by taking the medication that I so desperately and obviously needed. Every time I would explain to her that I got professionally examined and diagnosed, that the medication I took was fantastic for me, that she could clearly see the differences in my life-style, she would immediately become hostile and I would be met with doubt and the same "you're just lazy" comment that I got growing up.
However! We've recently had a dinner where I went more in-depth about the changes in my life and how \*exactly\* the diagnosis has been helping me. I explained to her my abilities in creating routines, how I break down tasks in order to not get paralyzed, how I reframe things in my head to make them tangible, and she sat quietly and listened without interjecting once. It felt like it finally got through to her that maybe I did have ADHD. I explained the differences between the types and how women are often misdiagnosed and not accounted for previously, etc. She was genuinely, **genuinely** interested and I am so happy.
I told her about the books I have been reading that have helped me understand myself better and she asked me to write down the names. A day later she asked if I had the physical copy of the book and even came over to pick it up!
I really cant wait for her to read up on it and try to understand where I come from more.

lateadhddiagnosed | Hey all, I was diagnosed in June. Tried ritalin (but it made me very zombie like) and now very happy on Adderal (from august). However the last couple of weeks I have been zombie-depressed. I have a great opportunity in front of me and I can't seem to get myself in to gear. I am just wallowing in my own misery ( which is mostly about playing computer games instead of doing what I need to do) Now I am replaying my life's theme of not getting to the starting line. I had hoped the meds would solve it. But I guess I need courage.

samsara24 | I’m 2 years out of medical school, currently working in a GP practise in UK.
Med school was ROUGH. Can’t lie. Especially the first two years where the imposter syndrome was crushing. Few failed exams early on because i just could not sit in a lecture hall for more than an hour, and we’d have lectures 9-6pm 4x a week! My attendance was shocking. I remember 2 distinct breakdowns over assignments, at 5am with 5 hours to write 2000 words. Then i’d get 75% after panic waffling and not proof reading? I literally remember referencing a paper in the passenger of my friends car on the way to hand in the hard copy with 30 minutes to go.
First year was actually alright. Worked through covid and did okay on busy medical and surgical wards. Got good feedback and think i was mostly liked by peers (maybe not a few nurses but hey ho). Main struggles were that i was consistently 5-10 minutes late every day. Even though i was prettified of the surgical reg who would give me the worst side eye when i’d show up late and not have the list ready. My portfolio was always last minute, and consultants would be on my back a lot. Absolutely terrible with admin, hospital admin all know me by first name (not a good thing). Mandatory training modules? no chance.
If you want me to do admin or mandatory training, you basically have to threaten me in some shape or form.
I could use a lot more examples but i don’t want this to be too long. It’s a struggle, but i think i generally have some strengths too. I think my clinical judgement is good and i get on well with my patients.
Let’s hear your stories!! I’d love to get some tips on how you guys manage your symptoms at work. My biggest tip is the write EVERYTHING down and always take a second to collect your thoughts before rushing into an emergency. | 2021-11-24T21:05:19.000Z | r1f78k | 1 | 2 | ADHD | Any fellow ADHD doctors out there? | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/r1f78k/any_fellow_adhd_doctors_out_there/ |

chriso1999 | Hello fellow Strattera takers and adhd enthusiasts,
So I’ve been taking 60mg of Strattera recently with pretty strong side effects however very consistent adhd coverage (about 90% throughout the day).
The 40mg dose gives me zero side effects however the coverage is only about 40-60% throughout the day.
50mg is also an option and basically averages out the two, but, it actually costs double (compared to the 60mg as well) as you have to buy 10mg + 40mg as there is no 50mg dose. (All doses on Strattera in Australia cost $40.40 despite their relative strengths. And my healthcare doesn’t split the cost as I wasn’t diagnosed before 18.)
So my question is, to anyone who has or is currently taking Strattera, what would you do? Is it worth going up to the 60 with the added side effects or should I drop down to the 40. Obviously I can do the 50 I’d just have to pay a little more each month,
thanks. | 2021-11-24T20:47:30.000Z | r1et5j | 5 | 0 | ADHD | Strattera takers and ADHD enthusiasts wanted | 0.33 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/r1et5j/strattera_takers_and_adhd_enthusiasts_wanted/ |
i_am_me47 | Soooo, same old thing everybody else says, meds changed my life and my entire process of approaching *doing* stuff (wow now i can just do stuff like i’ve been told for a decade!!)
BUT this miracle has a caveat. When I’m anxious, it’s IMPOSSIBLE for me to get anything done. It’s like all that focus and concentration that I lacked before has now been directed exclusively at my overwhelming anxiety.
My actual anxiety levels haven’t changed (always have been anxious, regularly have a heart rate above 140bpm while resting, sometimes struggle breathing, arms are shaky, etc…) but the amount i NOTICE then has. Before it was easy for me to just… forget that i was anxious since i constantly moved from one thing to another and my anxiety was just a part of that cycle.
Now however, once I realize my anxiety (for example, feel my heart beating or remember something that i have coming up), my ENTIRE stupid broken brain decides that i can’t do or think about anything else until i’m not as anxious.
I seriously don’t know what to do. When I’m in a space space (like the bottom floor of my college’s library where I’m one of the only people or a coffee shop where I love everybody there and wish I could live there) I can get stuff done. When I’m not however (like me currently sitting at the airport traveling/flying alone for the first time or in my dorm room with a manipulative roommate), my anxiety skyrockets (understandably) and ALL of my brain power goes to focusing on that and that only.
I wish I could just spend my life in a dark cave where there’s nothing to trigger my anxiety but instead I have to be a… person where SO many things trigger my anxiety making it impossible to do anything but think about the physical/mental symptoms of it :((

NeuroSpangle | Few years ago I visited one of my relatives to hangout for a day or two. At the time they had recently (1-2 years recent) been diagnosed with ADHD. I don't remember exact details but they asked me if I think I may have it or not. At the time, I barely had a concept of it but had my own suspiciouns of it. I was handed a small amount, I would say it was around 5-10mg. I was told some of the side-effects it might bring such as a cold sweat and others that might result in a mild panic, *possibly insomnia.*
Almost at an immediate I started feeling somewhat different. I did feel what they did describe earlier as a cold sweat but the most interesting symptom; *I felt that my mind was clear*. It's like someone sweeped my headspace clean with a broom and turned the light off for the night. During it I was also playing a videogame, I wouldn't say I suddenly got professional but I definitely managed to be calm and focus. Something I am unable to do during games where loading screens or even a small 6 second countdown until I can continue playing again after a death prompt me to open my phone or tab towards a second monitor. Or worse, play a video on the second monitor to keep me occupied during the game. Though, I didn't need anything of that of some sort. They asked me if I am tired considering the idea of possible insomnia, I said no as I tired and fell asleep with no issues.
Now, I don't know what to think about this as I barely told anyone besides maybe four or five close friends, one having a diagnose of themselves. **Is this a strong sign that I might have ADHD?** I already relate to many posts on this forum to a strong point that I get emotional and I am happy my thoughts have an explaination. However, considering many around me doubt that I have it (besides friends and my partner), I feel as best said: Stupid, for even thinking about it.

dojo-dingo | So I'm fairly certain I have undiagnosed ADHD, and I'm working up the courage to go get diagnosed officially pretty soon... But I just stumbled into a rabbit hole about how some people would self-medicate with sugar and caffeine, which masked their symptoms and it's why they went so long without getting the help they needed...
I felt read. I drink ungodly amounts of soda, and sugar (via candy) is my go-to snack... I'm reflecting now, and my relationship with both soda and candy definitely lines up with the whole self-medicating thing. The thing is, I've done it so much, for so long, that I'm developing NAFLD and I've actually tried a few times now to just cut out soda entirely, but I've failed.
**For those of you who used to self-medicate (knowingly or not)... Did it become easier to ditch the soda and sugar once you were properly medicated?** | 2021-11-24T20:40:10.000Z | r1enoq | 6 | 3 | ADHD | Did you stop self-medicating with sugar/caffeine once you were properly medicated?

nnaoam | I'm slowly realising that regardless of meds and treatment, I'm always going to need regular change and novelty to be functional. The problem/paradox is that obviously any structure for introducing those changes will itself become the norm after some time.
It's not like I can just rely on myself to remember to spontaneously change something up every once in a while either, because as I'm sure you can relate to, if things aren't written down and planned in advance they aren't going to happen.
My guess right now is that it's going to end up being a combination of two things - building up the habit of looking for novelty and change, and making a sort of "crisis protocol" for when everything is on fire that includes the suggestion of trying to change something and some stock templates for what that change could be (instead of a specific planned change).
I'd love to know if you've found anything that addresses this or have any thoughts about it at all. I think it's something that is going to be pretty core to how I handle my ADHD in the future personally. | 2021-11-24T20:36:14.000Z | r1ekrn | 4 | 9 | ADHD | What do you do to get the change/novelty you need? | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/r1ekrn/what_do_you_do_to_get_the_changenovelty_you_need/ |
andisaysbadabing | Hello! To start things off, yes I see a doctor, yes I am diagnosed, yes I am prescribed. My problem is that my insurance decided I needed re-approval for my adderall right before Thanksgiving. I'm not expecting to have it this week, and I really don't want to be a useless self-hating anxious mess until I get it again. Any recommendations? I'm not expecting to be at 100% but I don't want to be at 0.

But, I find that on the days I don’t excersise I get super jittery, anxious, irritable, and it makes the hyperactivity worse.

Zealousideal-File43 | The last prescription I had was 30mg sunrise Adderall. I LOVED them. IDK if this a one time batch ordeal or if this could potentially be a regular thing for sunrise.
This is the first time I have ever had sunrise specific generic. Back on nasty Zydus this month but I am seriously thinking of taking my doctor up on the offer to write "Sunrise only" on my prescription forms.
I wanted to hear others opinions before doing so. I do understand that not everyone reacts the same. Teva could be perfect for 6 people and the other 4 people hate Teva. Same with anything. So any feedback would be great. 1 thing I do know if Zydus sucks. Teva was OK, but that one bottle of sunrise was the best. I am also aware the next bottle could suck but I think it is worth giving another shot for me personally. | 2021-11-24T20:15:55.000Z | r1e4w2 | 2 | 1 | ADHD | Sunrise manufacturer Adderall 30mg | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/r1e4w2/sunrise_manufacturer_adderall_30mg/ |
txking | Have a mix of depression and ADHD
So took forever to finally take the step into getting meds due to ongoing anxiety and with stimulants commonly a cause of anxiety it just pushed me away. Finally stepped up though and started but and the first day was fantastic. The anxiety mostly went away which was a blessing till night hit and it started to wear off. I felt more normal, and happy. I had energy and felt motivated. Focus still wasn't the greatest though and I bounced around a bit from task to task.
Since then though it seems the effects of the happiness, energy, and motivation have gotten weaker. Still get some days I feel it, but not like it started and not consistant. It does seem I at least have an easier time maybe staying on focus compared to before meds, but it's still hit and miss. The only thing I can say for sure that I'm noticing is anxiety is more or less gone compared to how it was. That and at night time I can for sure at least tell when the meds wear off for sure as the enjoyment of doing things seems to be worse than during the day and I get a lot more restless, bounce from thing to thing to thing, and talk a lot more that even my daughter tells me I need to stop.
​
Is this fairly normal experience when starting meds? I know some of this is trial and error, just not sure what all I should be expecting or how I should approach it. if I should ask for a different med, upped dose, maybe stimulants just aren't the med for me.

I have music constantly playing in my head.
I first started noticed it in like second grade (around the age of 8) in class.
I can't get enough of music. I'm living it in and out (literally, lol).
The music in my head is like a radio. I can play entire albums in my head perfectly from the end to the beginning.
I can pull out entire melodies instantly just from 1 or 2 notes, or just by looking at their title. I even improvise to the melodies with instruments in my head
It makes me nod my head, I even dance to it.
It gets me so distracted from real life that I can randomly move parts of my body to the rhythm (very gentle dance just to not look crazy), or just make sounds with my teeth to the rhythm.
I feel like the side effects(like randomly dancing etc.) of it are getting wilder as I'm getting older.
I finally discovered my love for music when I was about 14.
I’m 18 by the way.
I also play the guitar, I love it, but for some reason I’m so lazy about it that I don’t even pick it up for days even if I KNOW that I have a great (very very great) feeling when I’m playing it. But it's not only with the guitar, it can be with anything.

The other day I need to drive to a friends house, drove to my work instead which is 30 minutes opposite direction of my friends.
Trash day, i have six small trash cans around my house. I always forget to take one out or I forget its even trash day in the first place.
Morning routines suck. I forget something literally every day at my house. From brushing my teeth to bringing my backpack to college. (I made a list of stuff i need to do in the morning and I follow it everyday)
Im on 40 mg of vyvanse, gonna see if adderall er helps more. I take vyvanse at 9 am, it peaks at noon and then at 5 pm i am just brain dead again. I have a regular sleep schedule and healthy diet so idk.

idontusethisapp | Hi everyone, so recently I’ve felt like my Ritalin has been a bit weaker than usual. Sometimes the effects can normally vary slightly between days and at first I thought this was one of those instances. But since it’s been a solid week or so with it not being as effective as usual, I’m starting to think that maybe the cold temperatures have something to do with it
I’ve read that it should be stored above 15°c (59 Fahrenheit) and lately our temperatures have been a high of around that (some days higher by about 3°c / 5°f, and some days lower by that same amount) and lows of usually 7°c (45°f). So most of the time it’s below that “optimal” temperature
Is it possible that the cold is affecting the potency of my Ritalin? And if so, are there good places to store it where it won’t be affected as much by the cold?
Thanks very much, all help appreciated! | 2021-11-24T19:29:48.000Z | r1d40a | 1 | 1 | ADHD | Ritalin effectiveness affected by colder temperatures? | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/r1d40a/ritalin_effectiveness_affected_by_colder/ |
vincentxangogh | I'm 23 y/o and have not been diagnosed with ADHD, but over the past year I've been reading a lot about it (here + other social media + online) and talking to my friends with ADHD -- I feel like this is something I suffer from. I tried to get myself a professional to talk to earlier in July, but I didn't have a primary doctor yet so I started there. I was supposed to ask him about how I could start that process during my initial physical, but I wasn't sure how to bring it up. I forgot to go to the second appointment I scheduled, and I just haven't gotten around to it since cause I've just picked up another load of responsibilities that makes it difficult for me to keep on track with starting the diagnosis process.
I think I'm looking for someone to tell me the process is not that much work to go through, but I think it'd also help to hear if anyone's had a similar experience and how you got through it.
Edit: I just read the rules for posts. To be clear, I'm not asking for what I should say or what your process was specifically like; I'm asking if you also had trouble getting started or going through the process, as well as general tips on how I could fix this procrastination or whatever this is. It may be because I'm super new to adulting, but I feels like in order to get help for my problem, I need to fix the problem that I need help with haha.

Elibui | I’m in the process of switching doctors for several reasons. She keeps forgetting to send my refills, tries to push antidepressants when im not anxious, depressed or even remotely interested in taking them, etc.
I’ve been unmedicated for almost 3 weeks and it’s causing problems in my school and work life, but particularly my work. I keep getting in trouble for excessive talking, getting distracted with tasks assigned to other teams, being forgetful, etc. I have to talk to the store leader sometime next week about my recent problems. It’s really frustrating and it’s really hard to recognize and control my attention and hyperactivity.

nabil082001 | I’m 20 years old studying at a university. Outside of my school I have a parttime job to pay for my bills, pay for my school and of course buy stuf that I like. I have been working since 15 years old (it’s a common thing in the Netherlands). I always try to find jobs that I like but every time after a couple of months I start to hate the job that I do. I’m now working in a electronics store for about 6 month and I really loved the job when I started. Now I just don’t want to go to work anymore and it really frustrates me because I have this at every job. The job is a bit the same everyday I meet new costumers every day and the conversation are never the same but I still have to do the same tasks everyday.
And I have had this on every job that I’ve had causing me to work less hard with results in getting fired.
I’m afraid that when I finish uni and work a full time job I will just lose my interest as quick as the jobs that I have had.
Do you guys have the same experience and maybe any tips to keep have fun in you’re job and not losing interest 😭. | 2021-11-24T19:18:38.000Z | r1cvap | 6 | 6 | ADHD | Losing motivation at jobs | 0.8 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/r1cvap/losing_motivation_at_jobs/ |

SoundArchitect | Hey fellow redditors, how is it going?
First let me apologize for the (eventually) long post and the english mistakes. English is not my first language but I'll try my best.
Where to start?
I've always known about ADHD, even if I didn't look up on that that much: I've always thought ADHD people were the one to be always too "chaotic" as kid (and looks like most of the people thinks the same), that never made me think I could possibly be affected by it.
In the last weeks I've been reading and watch videos and testimonials of people suffering for it and somethin *REALLY* struck on me.
I've always been the smart kid who doesn't put enough effort in school and still managed to never get rejected
**"He's smart...he just doesn't apply"** has been my mark since then, making my parents super angry at me, but I've just never found school to be interesting enough.
My backpack, my room, my life in general has always been iper-disorganized: sheets everywhere, no clue where my stuff where, really into videogames (a passion I'm still carrying today), always living this complete mess: I've always felt terrible for that, and as I said my parents always told me I was lazy.
I've tried some many things: music, youtube, now digital marketing, but I always feel like some kind of big resistance on me: I really can't study for stuff and I feel permanently ahead of my colleagues.
Getting organized and trying to be a heallty human being is like climbing mountain Everest for me: I usually wait until the last moment possible to confirm appointments, I usually forgot things, like what I'm doing in the moment: if I have a task at job you'll be sure I'll switch in a matter of minutes, then swearing at myself for being such a distracted and get back at my task...until I drift away again.
I REALLY want to get my life on my hands and finally build something (I know I'm no way stupid), and now reading all these testimonials about people being late diagnosed and describing pretty much what I'm feeling really struck a nerve on me.
**I just fear to be really a lazy and totally undisciplined person (that could be) and in results trying to be someone who just wants to be diagnosed to justify their laziness, yet I feel this heavy toll on me as I'm really constricted on a vehicle I can't drive.**
As I said, sorry for the long post: if you would share some advice with me (or just tell me your experience as a ADHD person/therapist) it would be great in this moment of great confusion.

Ok-Boot2360 | I (18 next week f) saw my pediatrician in October to bring up potential concerns that I may have ADHD. I was given forms to be filled out by teachers, and one to be filled out by my parents, but nothing else. They asked no questions, did not request my grades, family history, or even have me fill out a questionnaire. The questionnaire for my teachers, although I am a senior in Highschool with 7 teachers, was made for an early elementary student with a single or two teachers. Even on the parent form, the answer choices for “what grade did your child begin struggling in school?” Only go up to 3rd grade.
Because my teachers, 2/3 of which do not know me well and I am in very populated classes for all, did not state that I have behavior issues (but all of which did state that I have trouble with inattention, excessively talking, being constantly distracted, etc.), my pediatrician does not think that I have ADHD, and does not wish to assess me.
I feel that they did not have nearly enough information to make that decision, especially as ADHD is extremely prevalent in my family and the forms given to me were made for children aged 3-8 years old, as well as the fact that I was not given any way to describe my symptoms myself. I wasn’t even able to display a report card.
Is there any next step? I’m not really sure where to go after this. | 2021-11-24T19:11:56.000Z | r1cq1n | 5 | 2 | ADHD | Not sure what my next step is after denial of assessment | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/r1cq1n/not_sure_what_my_next_step_is_after_denial_of/ |

Poppyann | Hi everyone!
Just wanted to share a really positive experience I had in an exam today. I take professional exams for my job which can be very stressful even at the best of times (I was also diagnosed halfway through the process so the ones before were even more stressful, but positive stress).
I usually don’t mind exams as I enjoy learning towards something (even more so now I’m properly medicated), but these ones are fairly tough at four hours a pop and about 300 hours of study each, while working full time (you’re also expected to take two at a time in my firm). They’re now remote, so I sat down to take the exam in my office this morning and half an hour in - NOISY people on the office floor behind me relentlessly chatting. Bad choice of room booking. So I messaged the invigilator and explained the situation and that I have ADD, and could I possibly listen to music while I take the exam as it’s my coping mechanism with distractions around.
Now, they make you scan your earlobes with your camera before the exam to make sure you don’t have earbuds in so I wasn’t sure how they’d respond. He went to ask management and lo and behold he came back and said yes! I was quite shocked but pleasantly surprised and was able to crack on with the exam with no distractions. He was able to see my Spotify through screen sharing so could see I was actually playing music and not feeding myself voice notes of exam cheats!
Sorry for the long post - just wanted to share this positive experience I had today in what could have otherwise been a really crappy four hours. | 2021-11-24T19:08:25.000Z | r1cn6d | 1 | 1 | ADHD | Positive experience during exam today | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/r1cn6d/positive_experience_during_exam_today/ |

jannetalb | I work from home.
At the time when I started working, it was alright because I was really interested. That finished like a year ago.
Since then I've been suffering to have a day in which I work as much as I should. I have days when I work 1-2 hours, some days when I don't work at all. Very rarely, some when I work enough.
My job is very flexible and I tried using the help of my manager to follow up with me but that only caused me anxiety and I couldn't continue.
I tried a different working environment. Result: Other places just have too many stimuli (noise etc.) and the house is the opposite of that - too silent and I am alone the whole day.
I also tried to understand my relationship with my job. And it's not the best one. I don't feel competent and even excited, also there are so many things that I don't enjoy about my job. BUT: I think there are ways to turn that around and I don't want to quit before I try to do that.
​
So I need to keep the job for which I don't have motivation - while at the same time trying to build that same motivation.
​
Idk what can help me here? What mindset...?

Hej guys!
I’m diagnosed with adhd and social anxiety for a while now. Lately I’ve been observing that my biggest problem is the feeling of being rejected. By that I mean being rejected from ppl I know and like.. it’s not even that there’s ~really~ something going on, maybe a work mate only has a strange look on his/her face and I’m like “omg what have I done” or that I starting to think “ohhh everybody hates me” out of nowhere. Also with friends I know for a long time .. I started to feel that these feelings are really hard on my body because so many stress hormones are relreased into my bloodstream and sometimes I can’t calm down for weeks if I can’t find a solution for a situation/person. My minds makes up the worst stories … And I don’t want to ask allllll the time if there’s something wrong because it feels stupid .. I do it here and there now with good friends.
I think it could rejection sensitive disphoria which is linked to adhd but I also got attachment issues. Does anyone has some tips on this issue/ meds which are helping with that? I’m currently on no meds after taking Ritalin because I really wanna try living without somehow, but this topic is making my adhd symptoms worse and I really suffer from them , like I can’t concentrate on homework etc. when situations like that are on my mind.

Explanation-Signal | I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD since I was 15 but I feel like we’re all humans with different emotions even if we’re placed under the same label. Is it common to not feel that home is anywhere? I never feel comfortable anywhere, I’m always driving, trying to feel like I can arrive somewhere I truly love. But even if I love the places I can’t ever feel still. Like I can’t stay in that one place too long, neither do I want to. And with people it feels the same. Just tired. Tired of feeling ungrateful.

Cute_Mousse_7980 | ADHD can be really rough but sometimes there might be other issues lurking that can make our symptoms worse.
Reading glasses:
Are you struggling to read and your medicine doesn’t help? I suggest going to your local optician and having an eye exam. I have 20/20 vision but I still wear reading glasses. I basically hold up a sheet of text when doing the eye exam and then we find a lens that will help me focus on that distance better. I usually hold it at the same distance as my laptop screen usually is. Wearing reading glasses helps my eyes focus without getting tired, it prevents headaches and it makes the world around me a bit more blurry. When I put my glasses on my brain knows that I mean business, and it just makes it easier to focus somehow.
Thyroid issues:
Some people here question why a blood test is required, but I would argue that everyone should check their thyroid before even considering a diagnosis. Hyperthyroidism has a lot of overlapping symptoms as ADHD and it’s pretty common for women to get it in our 30-40s. It’s not a life threatening condition, but you will definitely make it worse with ADHD medication. So if you feel that you are less focused than usual and that your heart rate is higher than normal, go and get a blood test!
I obviously believe that ADHD medicine can improve our lives, but I think it’s important to solve other issues before increasing the dose. <3 | 2021-11-24T18:45:06.000Z | r1c3s7 | 3 | 18 | ADHD | Make sure to eliminate other issues that might make your ADHD worse! | 0.96 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/r1c3s7/make_sure_to_eliminate_other_issues_that_might/ |
AltuveBuzzerBeater | I’m a mechanic by trade and I tend to misplace my tools often. I always find them. But it takes a minute or two, especially on those days I forget to take my meds.
One day he gets really pissed at me when we were working on a job together about a screwdriver I couldn’t find when he asked for me.
That following evening I go out and purchase a Leatherman.
Obviously the next day I am working and shockingly I can’t find my screwdriver. So I whip out the Leatherman and make the adjustments that were needed.
My boss sees what I am doing, walks by and jokingly says “smartass”. I smiled, waved and continued about my day. | 2021-11-24T18:42:16.000Z | r1c1f4 | 1 | 2 | ADHD | I had a boss tell me I was never prepared. | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/r1c1f4/i_had_a_boss_tell_me_i_was_never_prepared/ |
Shamanpoofs | I'm not diagnosed with anything, but i experience really sharp emotion. Like why did i just snap at that person that i love? Why am i always told i have a bad attitude? Idk if I'm just an asshole or if this is because I'm impulsive and have volatile emotions. Why do i feel like im drowning and panicking but then as soon as i put up my hair away from my face i suddenly can think more clearly? It seems so silly....
Am i just lazy and need to be more disciplined? Or am i depressed and unmotivated? Are my depressive symptoms Comorbid with ADHD? Is this executive dysfunction? Or is this all some joke im playing on myself after learning about adhd.
I'm really struggling to know what is real and what is projected, can any of you tell me your story? Did you feel like an imposter?

livimary | So I can’t afford private adhd diagnosis so I’m going through the NHS, and my GP has just referred me to ADHD 360. I’m a bit worried by a ton of bad reviews online about them being unsupportive and money grabbing w regards to meds. I want to go on meds but only a little, because I actually am doing pretty well with my work arounds that I’ve developed and I just need proof for accommodations and stuff.
All this being said, does anyone with experience of this know if I get diagnosed with this private group, do I get to sort meds with my gp or do I have to go with these new ppl and pay privately? I do not have the money to part with if they want to charge me more than nhs prescription standards and from what I’ve read I don’t trust they have my best interests at heart. | 2021-11-24T18:40:04.000Z | r1bzoj | 4 | 1 | ADHD | NHS referral to private companies? | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/r1bzoj/nhs_referral_to_private_companies/ |

Rhydonal | Hi there. Like most of us here, I move around a lot when seated. I tend to be most focused though when I can cross my legs. I have an awful cheap (£130) "gaming chair", with hard flared sides that dig into my thighs if I adopt this seating position. Sometimes the seat can be enough for me to not get any work done that day because I can't find a comfortable position, so it's important for me to get a good chair that will hopefully help me with assignment work etc.
Can anyone recommend a spacious chair with a flat (or nearly flat) seat base that is comfortable to sit in cross-legged for long periods of time? I don't mind spending a good bit of money if it's going to last years (although it'll have to come out of my maintenance loan). I do games design, and can be sat at my computer all day designing, making or playing games. I've heard the Secret Labs Titan chairs can be quite good, but haven't had the opportunity to try one out first.
Also, if you're a student with DSA in the UK, do you think it would get approved if I asked for the funding for something like this? Honestly even if it's going to help me focus for an extra ten minutes on a 40-hour assignment, I'd grateful accept the help. My DSA application has just been approved but I'll have the meeting to discuss my needs in January. | 2021-11-24T18:37:08.000Z | r1bxc1 | 6 | 1 | ADHD | Best Chair (UK) For Cross-Legged Seating?

techdad8321 | Happy almost Turkey Day. So I have a question for all my ADHD friends out there. Previously I was on 20mg Lexapro with 10mg of D-amphetamine. Unfortunately for the last year, I watched as these drugs affected my behavior negativity. I was very irritated by the littlest thing, impulse control was out the window especially with anger and emotion. I got in an altercation which the next day I made the choice to check myself into the psych ward. Was there for 11 days, got off those two drugs as well as being sober. Fast forward to now, doctor put me on Wellbutrin. I am not sure if its working as of yet fully as I have only been on it for 16 days. I want to be able to focus for work as well as be able to have impulse control and not sure what I should have the doctor recommend for that. What has worked for those with similar issues. | 2021-11-24T18:33:33.000Z | r1buf8 | 3 | 1 | ADHD | Medication Help | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/r1buf8/medication_help/ |
Incoherent-Rambling | Stared taking Vyvanse recently due to my doctor’s recommendation. It’s been helping with quite a few of my symptoms, and I was ecstatic that I found a medication that works well for me. However, I recently noticed that my heart flutters really fast at seemingly random. It almost feels like a 15 second panic attack. I also feel like there is a continuous buzz beneath my skin. Is this a sign of higher blood pressure? And has anyone else had symptoms like these?
Thanks! (BTW, I am stopping the medication til I can contact my doctor. That’s what she recommended if I had any issues.) | 2021-11-24T18:28:52.000Z | r1bqkr | 5 | 3 | ADHD | Vyvanse side effects? | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/r1bqkr/vyvanse_side_effects/ |

Vegetable-Sandwich25 | So I was diagnosed a little over a month ago with adhd, after having been told that i likely have it since childhood (i’m 21 now).
My questions are more in regards to some of the processes, i noticed that there was a mega thread for being newly diagnosed and meds but the meds one seemed inactive and the newly diagnosed one didn’t seem to exactly fit. if this post is against any rules or anything please let me know and i will modify or take this down!
Okay, so, onto my question. I was diagnosed a month ago and prescribed adderall to help with the symptoms as my case is pretty moderate to severe. i’ve been able to manage on my own since childhood but they really have helped a lot as an adult! the thing is that i just have some questions about this process.
My doctor is new to me as i didn’t have a primary physician or psychologist or anything before (i’m broke and don’t have insurance). they’re willing to work with my budget and all that fun stuff and i feel very heard and listened to here which is a fantastic switch to when i was a kid.
The way that it’s been prescribed to me is on a kind of trial period. in another month i need to go back for a check in visit. in this visit we will further discuss how the adderall has impacted my situation and it’s effects on my life etc. my questions begin here. The doctor says that I will need to fill out a contract in regards to the adderall pertaining to things like only getting these meds from them, telling them about any new prescriptions or drug usage, etc. that’s all fine and dandy im just wondering if anyone here has ever had to sign a contract like that? and if so what that process is like/more of what it contains.
My other question is more in regards to the drugs test and what they’re testing for exactly? is it to make sure i’m actually taking the adderall? or something else?

SteelSanta | Hi, I (22M) have been diagnosed with ADHD since I was in the 5th grade. It has effected my entire life. I have a lot of other mental disabilities such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. A rough combination to say the least. I have always struggled with simple life tasks such as studying for school, understand social interactions, and things of that nature. I have always been EXTREMELY impulsive and lately it has really been costing me. I am in an amazing relationship with a woman (21F) that I love very dearly. But on several occasions I have said or done things in the spur of the moment without thinking completely and it’s really been hurting her. She doesn’t understand what it’s like just having this instinct take over where there is no thought there is just action. I really hurt her this past week telling her something someone had said about her. We had started the conversation and she asked what I was talking about and I don’t want to lie or hide anything from her so instinctually I told her the truth. She was really hurt. I just want to be able to think about these things before I act but I can never catch myself in the moment. It’s like time is moving faster than I am and I have no control over what I am doing or saying. I want control over myself so I can stop hurting those I love. Does anyone have any advice or can point me towards any books I can read?

artyworkie | Title sums it up pretty decently, but I’ll explain it a bit more- for a while, I’ve been having trouble eating/drinking because of a lingering fear that it’s gonna be poisoned or something like that, even though it’s completely illogical- some examples are whenever I leave my cup of drink out someplace and return to it, it takes a bit for me to get up the courage to resume drinking it, I physically cannot eat corned beef because I’m scared that the little corned seed thingies are gonna be bad for me in some way, and with other foods, I’m just scared of eating them in general because of the entire “fear of them being poisoned“ thing- I mainly skip breakfast because of this, and I have been eating the same things for a while now because they’re the only things that don’t scare me. Any suggestions to help out?
TL;DR: sometimes I’m too scared of some article of food/drinks being poisoned to eat it, and therefore sometimes just don’t eat at all or just eat the same things until I get tired of them. | 2021-11-24T18:22:51.000Z | r1blw6 | 8 | 3 | ADHD | I keep getting foo anxiety, if that makes sense | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/r1blw6/i_keep_getting_foo_anxiety_if_that_makes_sense/ |

So after some additional research I started to overthink and get worried about taking it. I have previously had issues with alcohol and am scared to try something so addictive.

Broke_Scholar | So I started a new job which is basically a bank teller position in a bank. I was so excited to finally have an 8 hr full time office job like my white middle class family set to be the expectation for adulthood to be.
I have since become something of the office pariah. I said something that deeply offended the director which flipped her switch to micro manage me and watch for every mistake I made. My nerves and ADHD made the new influx of daily math difficult and they have now started treating me as stupid and incompetent. I am petrified of making a mistake. I feel like I have to be perfect to our weight my rough beginning.
Today, I went into work just trying to keep my head down and do my job as best as possible. But I fucking didn't take a dime from someone. A stupid goddamn dime and she tried to tell me but I didn't hear or understand because I am so fucking dense. It was easy enough to fix but I feel like I can't stop adding to the fucking ammunition against me.
