DustyLemonTree | I can just never tell (or I haven't yet learnt) what is OCD and what is ADHD related. I can't tell if me spending hours upon hours for days/weeks just researching on certain topics**\*** is an obsession in terms of OCD obsessions or just a hyper fixation. Research is something I do cycle through and have done for years. Once I've exhausted the internet on a subject I just start with something new and more interesting. I just find it difficult to identify where its coming from and was wondering if anyone has any techniques or insight into how they are able to differentiate where their intense interest in something is coming from. I'm constantly wondering 'am I doing this much research because I have to find an end point and to learn the most there is to learn about something in an obsessive way?' or 'am I doing this research because I love learning everything possible about this thing and I enjoy it so I'm going to spend all of my time on it?' orrrr is it possible to be both and you can't separate the two?
**\*** *(I.e. I'm super obsessed at the moment with trying to completely heal my hormonal acne and it's been a few months now where everyday I'm just trying to research as much as I possibly can about the human body and hormone cycles and food/supplements/skincare/absolutely anything to heal my acne so I don't have to go on Accutane (and it is kinda working because my acne is slowly disappearing) but I do enjoy doing all the research and I use it as major procrastination and escapism too)*
From my understanding there are some overlapping elements between the both and I don't know if it's even worth trying to separate everything out completely but I'm curious as to how (and if) other people try to separate their symptoms out for different disorders/conditions/mental health things?
Disclaimer: I'm not asking if either of these things are related to ADHD or OCD, I'm more asking how you try and separate things in your head and identify what condition is causing which symptoms if you have to cope with more than one disorder? (also I'm not sure if disorder is the right word so I'd love to know what other people use or if that is the correct and non offensive terminology) | 2021-11-19T09:04:57.000Z | qxcawr | 1 | 3 | ADHD | How to tell the difference between what is ADHD symptoms and what is OCD symptoms when it comes to obsessing over something - If you suffer with both, how do you differentiate/identify where your symptoms are coming from? | 0.81 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qxcawr/how_to_tell_the_difference_between_what_is_adhd/ |
neverthemood | My friend has ADHD and ASD.
We ve been close friends for years. But somehow my effort was always 80% and his 20%.
I do like him a lot and I understand his effort feels much more intense for him. I respect that
However, he never wants to answer a phone call but he gets upset if i ever not answer his calls.
He calls me randomly. And if i don’t pick up or offer a reason shortly, i can feel he gets upset. So I answer instantly 99% of time
However, if i ever call him randomly, he absolutely never answers.
Very rare, he gives a reason 1 hour after i tried to call. And he lies because it’s clear the excuse is invented.
Otherwise he just says nothing and if i get upset he says justsorry and thats it
Does he really not care? How can I approach the situation?
I tried to tell him how I feel already..
Is he afraid to talk to me?
Is he too anxious?
Have u ever seen such a situation? | 2021-11-19T09:04:04.000Z | qxcaha | 7 | 2 | ADHD | Is he afraid or avoidsnt | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qxcaha/is_he_afraid_or_avoidsnt/ |

Pisstagram9 | So lately I’ve noticed a pattern where I’ve been fixated in cars, where I have an urge to buy a car, I would literally go on Carmax, or CarGurus just to look at cars on a daily basis, and it’s literally the only thing I think about for days, even daydreaming of driving the car I want, then one day I had a huge urge for travel then suddenly I’ve decided to book a European trip in May next year, and obviously I’m excited, but I would literally state at the map of where I’ll be visiting non-stop, constantly daydream of the trip, then suddenly, I saw a video of my favorite artist producing music and I’m like “damn, I wanna do something like that” and I’m back to looking at instruments. I’ve basically gone full circle within a year, because before cars and travel, I’ve been focused on music and playing the guitar and bass for fun. Then a travel video pops up on my recommended and now I’m back to looking for luggages & backpacks to buy… As much as I’m passionate for all 3, I swear this can get really annoying since it can ruin my productivity in my daily life and can’t get things done FFS. | 2021-11-19T08:28:15.000Z | qxbt4o | 2 | 1 | ADHD | Obsession patterns | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qxbt4o/obsession_patterns/ |

cheesecakefairies | My head is soooo full of thoughts on so many different subjects and the traffic is so loud in my head that it rarely thinks about sex.
If it wasn't for my fiance I'd almost never have sex. I enjoy it and due to mainky him I have a healthy sexlife but it's just something I rarely initiate because my head is thinking about other things. I also find it hard to switch my head to sex when I'm thinking about other things.
It lowers my libido I feel like.

SomeYotedThing |
So I compulsively make lists of things I should do because I worry about forgetting something important, but then I never start doing any of them.
I have like 20 Word documents on my pc from like 2 years about 2 thousand pages each of all these notes and what not. Thats more or less 40k pages...
I want to go back and review at least like the past 6 ish months or so to see what I actually should be working on, but thats still like 5 thousand pages and I've been procrastinating for months now...
I literally have an infinite 'to do list' that I can never organize or start on.

scilence_ | I feel happy to have found ways to be softer with time - because some years ago my defensiveness almost cost me my career.
But it doesn't mean that this problem went away completely. Lucky to have good verbal processing speed, but deprived to some extent of an ability to stop, I find some perverted pleasure in using that in heated conversations. Whenever I feel any kind of threat to my views or feeling of self-worth - I'm ready to pull out my shiny sword. I may say smart things without any insult, but the energy and the way I'm using language is so predatory - that people just shut up. It counts as a "win" in my head. I became some sort of junkie for this feeling.
Yesterday I was sitting in a taxi with my colleague/friend. I asked him - does it get to your nerve that I become quite harsh when we have opposed opinions? He smiled and said: "You can't even imagine. The thing is - you get defensive long before I said something to even be defensive about!"
I know that I have hypersensitivity in a lot of areas as an ADHD person, so I get irritated before people even notice something.
I make my slow progress in becoming more calm, forgiving, and wise. It makes my life so much better, filled with love and mutual understanding. I just wish I could accelerate this progress. But I think my guilt makes me go circles, I just can't let go of beating myself up for these imperfect behaviors.
What do I do to overcome this? Anger management? Or maybe I need some martial arts to let this destructive energy out?
It'd be lovely to have some civilized outlet - it feels like good energy that's overflowing and being used in a stupid way. | 2021-11-19T07:46:40.000Z | qxb8n2 | 2 | 2 | ADHD | Fiery temper and guilt | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qxb8n2/fiery_temper_and_guilt/ |
krakensmama222 | I know we often use this subreddit to ask for advice or rant - sometimes about our SO’s ADHD/ADD behaviors. But I thought I’d post something in celebration of my husband, tonight.
He struggles with planning, time blindness, details, prioritization, impulsiveness, thinking ahead. All those things, all the time. Plus he has not had access to his meds so everything is exponentially more difficult for him right now. It’s part of living with and loving him. Sometimes is drives me insane. Sometimes it’s endearing. Sometimes I just ignore it.
Last week, I had a terrible week. I was in pain, crazy worried about being told I needed surgery, trying to cope with PTSD triggers and failing miserably. My husband took the time to draw me a hot bath with my favorite bath salts. He placed candles all around the bath. He poured me a glass of my favorite scotch with one rock, just like I like it. He put a glass of water next to the tub with an extra bowl of ice cubes in case my water got warm.
And he did it all perfectly. Candles weren’t burnt out by the time the bath was drawn. My scotch wasn’t watered down because he’d poured it too soon. The ice cubes were timed correctly so they hadn’t turned into a bowl of water. He even remembered to put my robe, slippers, and favorite towel by the tub for after I got out.
I just want to celebrate him for that achievement. I know he probably will never read this, but I also know how much effort it took him to put all of that together at the right time, in the right order without making a mess or burning the house down.
And that effort means the world to me - a million times more than the bath. I just need the universe to know how much I appreciate that man and the effort he puts into making my life better. | 2021-11-19T07:43:53.000Z | qxb7a4 | 10 | 89 | ADHD | My DX ADHD husband meticulously planned quiet time for me when I was struggling. | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qxb7a4/my_dx_adhd_husband_meticulously_planned_quiet/ |

faithinstrangers92 | Having worked a variety of jobs in various fields, spanning corporate, IT, retail, hospitality, health services and academia... I've come to the conclusion that I just have a deep aversion toward work. Not the nature of it so much as the notion of it.
Of course this isn't a rare viewpoint, very few people would willingly volunteer their time if they didn't need to - something about wanting to avoid hobbling along a sidewalk living out of a trolley and trying not to freeze to death or risking being mauled by wild dogs whilst sleeping - or to support one's family and/or dependants; part of the reason why they have to entice us with $$$ and other perks.
I realise as well that money equals at least a certain degree of freedom in this world (though people's time is suspiciously cheap it seems), and that people can derive their sense of identity and self-worth from their work (which I've also never related to, but whatever).
And obviously, we've all been inculcated to view hard work and self-discipline as the ultimate virtue because that mentality has allowed humanity to not only survive but progress, and a masochistic form of self-sacrifice has been propelled by major world religions (with ascetism being the logical extreme -actually convincing some that climbing and living their entire life naked atop a stone pillar, in a cave, and denying their sexuality - the most basic impulse we have - was the only path to enlightenment)
\[sidenote: I deplore the idea of being born without consent into a world which demands that you MUST do things you would much rather not be doing for the overwhelming majority of your waking life; and if you protest it you’re branded weak willed and lazy ; and if you decide not to bother you'll sooner or later starve to death on the sidewalk; and if you defiantly opt out of this mortal coil – refusing to partake in this unrelenting, twisted experiment – you’re pitied, condemned, and face eternity in hellfire according to the bible bashers. I digress. Back to work\]
I hate having my precious time taken from me and being accountable for most of my day. Even if I planned to spend that time staring at my fridge. Meanwhile, working from home on my own terms leads me to associate my home with work and blur the lines between my time and work.
I hate how mentally preparing for upcoming work can ruin my time off as well.
I hate having to deal with things/people when I'm in one of my dogshit moods.
I hate feeling like a square block in a circular hole in every job because few if any forms of work value my natural inattentiveness/perseveration complex and unorthodox mode of thinking.
I hate feeling like I'm constantly on the verge of coming unstuck and being fired.
I hate feeling like I'm constantly on the verge of coming unstuck and being fired.
I hate having to blow smoke up the ass of some asshole in charge, having to dissemble and wear a fake smile to maintain social propriety, and having to endure banal watercooler conversation about my coworkers new haemorrhoid cushion then act enthused as he blathers and blithers on about the time his son won MVP at his little league baseball team 6 years ago.
I hate feeling trapped in any career path, which becomes especially tedious once the novelty has worn off. Sure we have more freedom to change paths than ever before, but I hate trading the pluripotentiality for the actuality of a career - yes you can quit medicine and go and work as as bartender in a beachside bar in the Bahamas, but you've still traded a significant amount of time and finances, and there's no saying you'll even prefer the latter until you've invested into that either.
Even when working in health services/helping roles, and seeing people be deeply appreciative of my work... I felt some level of reward, but it wasn't enough to outweigh the sacrifices. They say work gives us purpose and humans need purpose to thrive, but in fact I feel no less existentially apathetic now than I did when I was being overworked several years ago.
I know one remedy could be to carefully choose your form of work, so it doesn't feel like it's being imposed upon you but rather something you've chosen to engage in, however even my areas of interest - psychology, philosophy, music, literature, writing, gaming, bodybuiliding - as soon as it becomes work it becomes disenchanted; it requires a sacrifice of my time and leads to a feeling of claustrophobia, however irrational it may be.
Or another is to work ones ass off in their younger decades to save enough money that they can retire young and escape the hamster wheel; it's one hell of a gambit though - and for every success story there are
As I write this part of me is scolding myself for being so disgustingly entitled and trying to justify laziness, but part of me still maintains that the amount of unavoidable self-sacrifice in this life is completely and utterly fucked up the more you think about it, and that society really isn't built to accommodate dissenting worldviews in regards to self-discipline and sacrifice.
So hear I am just screaming into the void, whilst I take a break from job applications.

AgreeableTomatillo92 | Hi All,
Has anyone experienced an increased in anxiety from taking Intuniv? I started taking it in September (1mg) and increased to 2mg last week.
I have really struggled this week with my anxiety and in general feel my anxiety it somewhat worst than before I took intuniv (but, i never have an anxious free life🤗).
Has anyone else experienced an increase in anxiety, and if so, did it subside? I have tried ALL other ADHD stimulants, so I am reluctant to ask my psychiatrist to quit IF there is a possibility that this increased anxiety is temporary. FYI I also take agomelatine

Effective-Week-320 | I was recently diagnosed and given 10 mg adderall ir. The main thing I have noticed from 10 mg is that I think I feel more present. It’s nothing too noticeable though, I have even pondered if it’s partly placebo, although I think it isn’t placebo, likely just very small amount of added focus. A few days I experimented with taking 15 or 20, and that dose gave me the exact effect I desire. I feel normal, capable, present and calm but not sleepy, nor hyper. I did not feel the need to shake my leg , I felt comfortable being still. I feel confident that this is what I should be taking. The IR is very convenient with my schedule too.
Not sure if this is relevant, but I do not take it quite as often as the doctor prescribed it for, but she said that was okay, and that if there are some days I don’t feel it’s as necessary, I don’t need to, like on a day where I’m just chillin.
My follow up appointment is tomorrow and I’d like my doctor to up my dose to 15 or 20, but I know this drug has potential for abuse, and I’m not sure how to go about getting a higher dose without coming across as an abuser. Any opinions on how to get a higher dose without risking losing my script? | 2021-11-19T07:19:55.000Z | qxavbs | 4 | 2 | ADHD | How to get my dr increase my adderall dosage?

stormtroopi3 | I never took stimulants in my life, and recently got diagnosed with ADHD at 28. My therapist asked me if I wanted to try meds to help me focus, and since I have been struggling at work, I decided to give it a try.
First day I think I made the mistake of taking them with coffee. My hands were SHAKING like crazy, and I found it hard to type on my keyboard without making typos, but I churned so much work I was amazed at myself.
Second day, took it without any food, had a long day and didn't have time to eat, but felt like I didn't go into that same focus mode? Although I also had to console a friend who had a breakdown, so working was out the window. I did notice I was able to listen to her without drifting off as much, so not sure if the two are connected.
Today I took it after eating some food, and I feel like going for a run. I have so much energy and I need to move and do things, but sitting on my laptop to work is not one of the options, sigh.
I've read many saying that going on meds for them was like seeing clearly for the first time, but who else had to go through a period of adjustment before it started working?
Also, I'm on 10mg a day, doctor suggested the first week I start with a low dosage and by the second week up it to two 10mg a day. Another side effect is, I have the urge to clench my jaw but luckily I can resist, just something I've noticed.

krakensmama222 | My ADD moment of the year. I got married a few months ago and planned my wedding faultlessly. Everything went smoothly from guest accommodations to the flowers. I remembered the rings, the vows, my shoes….everything. I was SO proud of myself.
After the ceremony, my officiant asked me if I wanted him to mail the license into the state. I said “Nah. There’s a post office where I’m going for my honeymoon.” Fast forward to honeymoon and every time we walked past the post office a block from where we were staying “hey, babe. We should mail the license next time we go to the grocery store.” My husband, “you’re right. We should totally do that tomorrow.”
This went on for 10 days. We returned home on a Sunday so the post office was closed. “No worries. We’ll do it tomorrow after we get back to town.” Cue “No worries we will do that tomorrow.” About 52 more times over several months.
My husband to me last night over a glass of wine, “love, you sent in the wedding license, right?” CRAP. Now I get to go to the auditor’s office and figure out what I have to do in order to actually be legally married with a license several months past due.
But the flowers were fantastic! 🙄🤪😂 | 2021-11-19T07:02:00.000Z | qxam8n | 4 | 4 | ADHD | Hyper focused and planned perfect wedding. Then forgot to send wedding license in before deadline. | 0.84 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qxam8n/hyper_focused_and_planned_perfect_wedding_then/ |

_PotatoCat_ | Saying my social skills are terrible would be a great understatement. I cant have a single conversation without stuttering, forgetting my words, making everything awkward etc. im always embarrassing myself and i beat myself up about it later. I should also mention ive had this whole year at my new school to make friends but im not sure if anyone i hang out with considers me a friend. We’ve never actually hung out anywhere outside of school and i dont know how to invite people anywhere either. I think its not only because my social skills are so bad its also because I hide everything about me too much, because ive always been judged for whatever i do/act so I instinctively hide my personality and interests so i seem like a boring person. I dont know how to improve either and the insecurities that stem from this makes my social skills worse and it just becomes a loop. I have one day left on monday before my school year ends and after that ill be alone for a few months with no one to talk to or spend time with and I’ll probably go back to school to meet my friends again and i dont know if they’ll talk to me, they might but probably because they feel like they have to. Thats why i usually try to give my friends space but i dont know if it works.
Does anyone else go through anything similar?

KallistaSophia | Hi everyone.
In most cases, I can trade in my screwy executive functioning for a little voice that says "do the thing!" At the moment, I've had success with texting my aunt about my progress through a small list of tasks -- supplements, eating, exercise -- but it feels very miserable to be doing this every day, and as soon as I start slipping with the messages, I stop doing the things.
I... honestly want a service for this. Someone who looks at my list of things to do, says do all of these things, and if there is no list says make a list. No "do it when you feel like it." Just "do it".
In spoon anaogy, the "Do it" gives the spoons to do the thing.
I'm past the shame of it -- I want to be treated like a child. I just can't ask this of people because it's so... menial and repetitive and bursonsome and not something I can really put on a friend.
Has anyone come across anything that might help here? | 2021-11-19T06:33:57.000Z | qxa7se | 5 | 6 | ADHD | I feel like I need someone to tell me what to do. | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qxa7se/i_feel_like_i_need_someone_to_tell_me_what_to_do/ |
bleachy911 | I been taking ritalin er 20mg for 4 ish months now, and i just notice it doesn’t work that well. Before I use to be on Ritalin 20mg IR.
Before I change to ER, I know when the medication kick in. But now with the ER, I don’t feel it kick in. I brush it off because I thought my body just got used to it. Yesterday, I forgot to take my med and it felt the same as if I took the med.
How can i bring this up to my psychiatrist without raising suspicion? 😭😭 | 2021-11-19T06:32:55.000Z | qxa79i | 9 | 1 | ADHD | Ritalin ER 20mg | 0.67 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qxa79i/ritalin_er_20mg/ |
splatoonbaboon | Hello! I'm not sure where to go with this question, but if you can't help me answer it maybe you can point me in a direction!
I'm a 20 year old female in Dallas Texas , yeehaw, and I just got diagnosed with combined type ADD through my school. From my reading I understand that ADD is not a term used any more but nonetheless that is what I was diagnosed with ? So ? Anyways. My school offers counseling and all that in my tuition (woohoo, I'm in debt) so thats how I was diagnosed. I'm in therapy and on antidepressants (venlafaxine) through the school psychiatrist, but he cannot prescribe ADD/ADHD medicine because they are controlled substances.
A normal person would now consult a doctor right? Well I don't know where to go from here. I'm not gunna sit here and shit on my mom, but she's been a bit of a lazy parent. This October I went to the dentist for the first time in my 20 years of living. My teeth are basically ruined. I've been sexually active since I was 16 and made her aware of that then, and that I wanted to get on contraceptives, but she still hasn't made an appointment, she knows about my mental health issues and has since I was roughly 14 and even with my pleading never bothered to get me help. All that to say I haven't been to a doctor (besides through my school and recently the dentist) in about 7 or 8 years, and that was when we lived somewhere else. So I don't know how to even consult or find a doctor. I have constricted government insurance that I don't know much about because my mom keeps that information from me, and most of my family are very much against medicating young people, so I can't just ask my mom or aunts for help, they will tell me I'm fine, it's in my head and i don't need medicine, I just need to touch some grass and try harder (:
I have an older brother who I think might help, and a couple cousins, but I really wanna do it on my own because I don't want to risk my mother finding out. And I'm an adult now. I've come this far I wanna do it all. I want to keep my families involvement in my medical things very minimal. The reason I want to for sure become medicated is because my ADD is very much affecting my schooling. I've lost several scholarships and am a stone's throw from academic probation. I'm at my wits end here and an grasping at strings. This is really my last hope.
So yeah, how do I get a prescription? Where do I go? What do I Google? I'm just asking for general guidance here. I hope I've provided all the necessary information.
TDLR- my mother hasn't taken me to a doctor in 7 years and is mildly medically abusive, so I don't know who to go to or how to go about getting a prescription for my combined type ADD. | 2021-11-19T06:26:41.000Z | qxa3t4 | 15 | 2 | ADHD | New to all of this, looking for a bit of help, very lost (: | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qxa3t4/new_to_all_of_this_looking_for_a_bit_of_help_very/ |
DrunkUranus | Hi guys!
My 5yo is not currently diagnosed, but I'm 100% sure she's got mild adhd (I have it, I'm a teacher, and her dad is in healthcare, so I know just enough to be confident)
I'm very pro-adhd medication, but the kid's case is mild enough right now that I don't think it's necessary-- and I'm also aware that many providers start the treatment process by putting *parents* in therapy to learn how to better work with and support their adhd child.
That sounds perfect to me, except for the failing mental health infrastructure that makes it impossible to get good help in a timely manner.
So while I'm working toward more official help, have you found any books or articles that address parenting to improve adhd symptoms from an evidence- based perspective?
(Note: since I do have adhd, I really don't need individual perspectives on what kind of parenting helps. I specifically want to know how psychologists think about it)

zeurosis | Was wondering if this could be an ADHD thing. I absolutely suck at head math, which is why I think I struggled so much with high school math. It’s not that I can’t understand the concepts and procedures per say, but I can’t really hold numbers in my head between steps. I really struggle with even simple addition and subtraction, basically if I haven’t memorized it it takes me a lot of thought and “wait what was I doing? Oh yeah. So… wait what was the number again? What plus what? Oh yeah. So 43 + 15, well 15 - 7 is… wait what was the first number?…” You get the point. Honest to god, more often than not when I try counting to any number beyond 10 in my head I lose my place, skip or repeat numbers. Sometimes I don’t even make it to 10, especially if I don’t say the numbers out loud. It makes me feel fucking stupid. | 2021-11-19T06:07:00.000Z | qx9t75 | 29 | 43 | ADHD | Really bad at head math | 0.98 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qx9t75/really_bad_at_head_math/ |
Legonois2 | This is my 3rd week of research on ADHD, and I know I check a lot of the boxes around it. And especially reading everything here just clicks, but man I can't shake the feeling I'm lying to myself that these symptoms are just because of how I act and because I can't get my shit together everything is bad. I don't know what to do, my mom just thinks it's poor time management skills, and I alternate every day from feeling validated by looking back on here, and then realizing that what I'm experiencing is probably normal, my mom is right, and that I'm a weak ass bitch for not being able to get through what everyone else can. I feel like I'm ahead and constantly behind.
I know I won't be able to see a psychiatrist anytime soon, and I just need to talk to people who have it. I'm 15 and I can't get any appointments at my age in my state, so this is the best I can do at this time.

ZombaeChocolate | Hi!
First of all, i want to come clean that im currently undiagnosed, but im looking at all resources to get a diagnosis in my are(eastern europe), so far with very little luck.
Ive been lurking in this sub, since i was pointed to here, while i was randomly browsing other reddit subs and related to a post real hard, conversed with op, and for the first time in my life(27 yrs then) it occured to me omg, what if im not a complete failure and an alien in life but i do actually have a disorder? So i jumped in this sub, read posts and realized that even if its not neccessarily adhd, something with my brain is off, cause i just realized a lot of the stuff what i do is my normal, is by no means normal.
Ive came to this analoge by randomly browsing this shb and copying things to my notes 'hey i do that to, or i relate to that too' to make a list of stuff why i think i might have adhd. Cause i was playing a scenario in my head, what the hell do i tell to a doc, when im posed the question why, cause last time it happened i got shaked off by, no i dont have that, i have anxiety, cause when asked the big WHY i could only stutter and clutter.
So to get to the main point, what you guys could say to ppl when they dont understand why you take meds is that you could say cause its a medical accessory(idk if that makes sense, as you can tell english isnt my first language). Like, any medical stuff.
Cant hear? You use a medical appliance, hearing aids.
Cant walk properly for some reason, like pain? You use a cane, or in worse case a wheelchair.
Your posture is bad? You use that stuff what you can add to your waist to help with your posture.
Have high blood pressure? You adjust it with medication.
Cant see well? You use glasses or contacts.
Im sorry, if this post doesnt make any sense, im just really bad at explaining things or getting my points accross and keeping up with my jumbled thoughts and inner monologues and typing those out.
Im that bad at this that i think ill see myself out rn.
Thank you for reading anyways, and i hope you guys can make any sense of my rambling. | 2021-11-19T06:00:35.000Z | qx9pgd | 3 | 5 | ADHD | An analogue for ADHD medication(or any medication in general) | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qx9pgd/an_analogue_for_adhd_medicationor_any_medication/ |
GoldEstablishment406 | So long story short I hear that not treating adhd is bad but my own adhd medicine (that I don’t take) has plenty of long term side affects that also sound sh**ty.

madisonclaire93 | I started taking 40mg about a month or so ago, and definitely felt side effects. the main side effect being almost a “selective insomnia”. i would fall asleep just fine, but wake up after a few hours and wouldn’t be able to fall asleep for a couple hours, and that cycle would repeat until the next day. I also would have bad stomach cramping some days, but not everyday, and not this bad. (my side effects at first only lasted a couple weeks, and then I was able to realize the medication wasn’t working 100% so my doctor doubled my dose to 80mg) I took my first dose tonight (about 2 hours ago) and fell asleep about 10 minutes later. I woke up with the most intense stomach cramps I’ve ever felt, and I feel like I’m dying (dramatic, I’m aware) I immediately went to take a shower as that helped me the first time somewhat but it doesn’t seem to be helping. the pain is definitely a stomach cramping more than overall nausea and is actively painful. it’s sort of in the middle of my rib cage at the front (where the rib cage opens) occasionally I feel like I am actively about to puke. please help with any advice or support you have . | 2021-11-19T05:54:21.000Z | qx9lrn | 9 | 3 | ADHD | doctor upped my dose (strattera) and now I feel like I’m dying | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qx9lrn/doctor_upped_my_dose_strattera_and_now_i_feel/ |
radiyon | I think might end up losing my job because I just can’t focus. The job has completely changed since when I started. It was boring but at least a little creative. Now it’s just turned into basically what feel like data entry. I knew it was going to be boring going in, but over time they’ve just wanted “100% Perfect” and I’m just incapable of it apparently. The work is so much more detailed now and there’s so many rules to remember.
I get called out for so many little mistakes. And honestly I think they’re valid call outs. My coworkers have seemed annoyed with me because of them and I’m pretty sure one of the other designers subtweeted about how I need to “do better” one time.
I wish I could do better :( It’s embarrassing to have a whole column devoted to your fuck ups that always need fixing. It reminds me of when I was young and I’d read the homework directions several times and still mess up and miss things. Then I’d just be told “you need to start reading the directions completely”.
I haven’t even got my portfolio together to look for another job right now because I’ve been so consumed trying to work and force myself to focus and getting distracted that it takes up the entire day…
Idk :/ like I’m good, but damn I’m tired of fighting my brain so much. | 2021-11-19T05:49:37.000Z | qx9j59 | 2 | 3 | ADHD | ADHD has me stuck and embarrassed. | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qx9j59/adhd_has_me_stuck_and_embarrassed/ |
justgimmiethelight | Like multitasking, working under pressure and working in "fast-paced" environments.
I can't multitask to save my life. And it doesn't help that I tend to have people in my life that remind me how bad of a multitasker I am. For some reason I attract people that get a rise out of pointing out my weaknesses and flaws. Occasionally I can get away with doing 2 things at a time but it depends on what the tasks are. Three if they're *really* micro but that's **very** rare.
Either way I try to avoid multitasking when possible because it usually results in disaster or frustration. Yet I'm the type to have 50 million tabs open in my browser at once EVERY.SINGLE.TIME! Funny how that works huh?
Can't work in a lot of "fast paced" environments. Tried working in restaurants and I was TERRIBLE at those jobs. Was tired of being told I wasn't moving fast enough and when I moved fast I fucked up even more. Plus I hated the work environment as a whole and to be honest I don't enjoy that type of work. Those jobs made me feel the worst and I hated every single day of it.
I tried trade school and a couple other physical jobs and couldn't get into them. Worked at a moving company one summer and although I was good at the job and lifting heavy stuff I found it underwhelming. Got bored real fast although the exercise was great.
Working under pressure is tricky. If there's a deadline that needs to be met I'm usually fine. I know time constraints are stressful for many and they can be but in my case that alone is rarely the problem. The problem comes in when I'm being micromanaged or I have someone back seat driving my work. Telling me to do this, do that, constantly criticizing me. Nagging me, rushing me, adding "one more thing" to the project when I'm almost done or the person waits until the LAST MINUTE to tell me something that ruins my flow I break down and get stressed out. I can deal with internal pressure but if its external I will break down. I don't need anyone beating on me and making the situation worse. I already beat up on myself enough as is.
Am I the only one like this? It's such a weird dynamic. It's part of the reason why I feel like I don't belong anywhere. Maybe I'm just odd or there's something wrong with me. | 2021-11-19T05:49:06.000Z | qx9ite | 66 | 94 | ADHD | A lot of things people with ADHD are said to be stereotypically good at I straight up SUCK at! | 0.97 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qx9ite/a_lot_of_things_people_with_adhd_are_said_to_be/ |
khajiithassweetroll | I am currently using Ian's Awesome Counter, but what I don't like is that it sends a notification that you have to respond to (it asks if you're on task or not). It's a minor thing, but getting the notification does get a bit distracting. For the same reason, I don't wanna set alarms/reminders. I tried to set up chimes, but I think they are meant to be a more audio thing because the vibration is almost not there (and I had my vibrations set all the way up). Does anyone know of any apps that can do what I need? | 2021-11-19T05:47:09.000Z | qx9hpi | 2 | 2 | ADHD | App To Vibrate Apple Watch at Intervals Throughout the Day? | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qx9hpi/app_to_vibrate_apple_watch_at_intervals/ |

shanaynayyy301 | Hi everyone 👋🏻 per the title, considering accommodations. I’ve never had them before and am wondering what I can expect about the process and what kinds of accommodations a person with ADHD might be entitled to? My biggest problem and concern is regarding deadlines, particularly when I’ve reached my crash point where there are stretches of days where I physically and me tally can not do anything, even with my ADHD meds. I usually can only muster the energy to get up to go to the bathroom or snack during those days. I can’t even watch TV or listen to music because it’s too stimulating. I’ve come REALLY close to kissing deadlines and usually ask for an extension by making up some other random medical issue. I’m wondering if there’s a way to just get extensions and such when I genuinely need them instead of just making up an excuse?

As an ADHD person, I'm struggling with doomscrolling which is making my grades go down the hill. Thus, I decided to download site blockers until I realized they made me want to now visit social media, even more, I guess FOMO is real.
A friend of mine told me to try a browsr extension called BeTimeful which basically only takes the newsfeeds & recommended videos out & makes it very hard to turn it when you get distracted. So far it's been working better than traditional apps. I was wondering if you guys are using it too & how it's working for you? & what other innovative tools do you recommend me to use? | 2021-11-19T05:17:24.000Z | qx90i3 | 3 | 0 | ADHD | Is this the new solution for doomscrolling? | 0.5 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qx90i3/is_this_the_new_solution_for_doomscrolling/ |

Comprehensive_Ad7338 | Ok am I was just laying in my bed thinking and idk if anyone would relate to this but I think I’ve finally found a way to explain how my brain works through a long analogy (oh how I do love my long convoluted analogy’s)
Oh so imagine you have one of those half circle tables the ones shaped like a rainbow, and you get two of them and your sitting in a chair in the middle. Almost like a doughnut. And all of my relationships and interests and thoughts are represented by sheets of paper. Now once in a while I start from square one a brand new table with nothing on it, slowly I place papers down in an orderly fashion the papers closest to me are important to me and I go around and around placing papers until it’s full then the craziness starts I have to start overlapping the pages because there is not any space I start with the things on the outer edge of the circle and move to the center until pretty much everything is overlapping. Than I repeat over and Over and over again until somehow there are pages sacked everywhere I can’t even find which is which I start to get anxious and overwhelmed until I reach the breaking point papers are falling off and I just have a moment of clarity I decide “ you know what fuck this” and I push all of the pages onto the floor throw them away and start the whole process again. | 2021-11-19T04:46:38.000Z | qx8i3a | 1 | 3 | ADHD | An analogy of how my brain works | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qx8i3a/an_analogy_of_how_my_brain_works/ |

I've had two proper conversations with him and I've said hi to him a few times but every single time I say hi he just looks at me and ignores me. I told my friend about this and he sat with him in class so they would talk quite alot and he even said that when he would say hi to him in the halls he would ask "who are you?" which the boy i like has asked me too, I know he also is very VERY impulsive and moves around alot but he is pretty smart so im not sure what to do? Should I just stop trying to even talk to him anymore? Should I try to have more conversations with him before I start saying hi? People with adhd help me please bc i want to at least be friends with him but ofc I want to respect his boundries and dont want to be a hassle and bother him if he just doesn't want to speak to me. We are in 10th grade so people please give me advice on how to understand him at least a little. THANK YOU! :D | 2021-11-19T04:39:25.000Z | qx8dwd | 5 | 0 | ADHD | HELP!! I NEED ADVICE!!

asiarosee314 | I have ADHD and have ben diagnosed since i was 6 years old im 19 rn and a couple months ago got my first job. i’m not used to having to balance school and a job at the same time. I’m in community college in my 2nd year and i’m going to transfer to a different college soon.
I’m a full time student because of my scholarship. everyday I get stressed out because of all the homework that I have to catch up on, that i put it off till the next day. Then days go by and more late assignments accumulate. I don’t know how to fix this and im really struggling to keep my grades up.
Any advice? | 2021-11-19T04:38:59.000Z | qx8dmv | 2 | 1 | ADHD | one homework assignment takes me the whole day | 0.67 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qx8dmv/one_homework_assignment_takes_me_the_whole_day/ |
chr1s003 | So. I'm cooking dinner. I have things in the oven and on the stove. I'm also running the air fryer for french fries. I'm done with a dish. I go to wash it really fast. After washing, I dry my hands and go to throw out the cloth and now I need to quickly take the trash out because it's getting full. But before that I notice our dogs are out of water. Good time to fill it up when I'm near the sink. I go to pick up the bowl, turn around and..... many cabinets open. Fridge open. Water running. Microwave beeping. Trash can is out and tied off. Water boiling. What. The. Actual. Fuck.

aligirl86 | So tonight I was trying to relax and do some knitting while watching TV. I dropped one of my knitting needles under the couch and that lead to moving the couch, vacuuming the whole house (since it was already out), then emptying the garbage because once the vacuum was empty the garbage was full. Since I was already taking out the garbage then I also should take out the recycling. I also did a load of laundry because I had to move the laundry on the floor to vacuum under it. As I was vacuuming I also realized it was time to change the cat litter so obviously that got done. There were a few dry leaves from my mint plant so it's obviously time to water the plants.
That is how sitting down to watch TV at 8pm turned into doing the chores for an hour. I tried to explain to my mom, who I haven't lived with in over a decade, how this happens and she still doesn't understand. On the plus side many of my weekend chores are done. Does this happen to anyone else or is it just me? On less energetic nights I don't pick up the dropped knitting needle because I know the road that leads to and I have an even bigger struggle explaining this to others. | 2021-11-19T04:34:35.000Z | qx8b1h | 4 | 23 | ADHD | That moment when a dropped object leads to cleaning | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qx8b1h/that_moment_when_a_dropped_object_leads_to/ |

IntrovertedIgloo | Ok hi!
I don't really know how to talk about this so bare with me please if you come across me being a mess.
This past spring I finally got my medication that my insurance was holding hostage for around 6 months(concerta 18mg). I was diagnosed when I was in 3rd grade but when I was in college I thought it was a good idea to go off of all my medication. That led to me having to drop out because I was hella suicidal and at my limit. So basically I had to start all over again with the medication process.
Anyways The first two weeks it was HELL because I was just so overwhelmed and having terrible mood swings.
After that I got used to it but I felt like I needed a higher dose (concerta 27).
That was a terrible idea and I wish I wouldn't have done it. I thought going back to 18 would make me feel better but I'm still just feeling like shit. I dont like feeling this way because I'm having a very hard time controlling my emotions and I've been a lot more hostile, anxious, irritable, and sensitive than I ever have been.
When I was switched back the whole ass pill changed shape and color but rhe pharmacy told me to not worry about it. I feel very bad for my family who's had to deal with this since the start of August. My mom can tell how fucked up it's making me feel. She even told my grandma that I was being mean at the moment and that fucking hit hard. I rarely intend on being a dick and I did apologize to her, she said she understood how it felt because adhd medicine has done that to her before as well. I remember that and it was a nightmare to deal with and now I'm the nightmare. I hate it here.
At this point my other medication doesn't feel like it's working (wellbutrin xl 450mg and zoloft 200mg ). I know it works because it usually helps me but they really took a backseat on this one. To clarify my other medication is for my persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia) and anxiety.
Has this happened with anyone else where their adhd meds have totally derailed their life for a period of time?
I have an appointment next week because that's the soonest I could get in, hopefully this whole ass saga will end.
For anyone who read this, thank you for reading. I really just needed someplace to get all my feelings out, even if it was a jumbled mess.
If you have any questions or clarification please don't be afraid to ask. | 2021-11-19T04:27:48.000Z | qx86tj | 3 | 2 | ADHD | ADHD Medication is having negative effects on mental health/ personality | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qx86tj/adhd_medication_is_having_negative_effects_on/ |
jsrnsn | Hello! I’ve been reading through a lot of posts on boredom and coping strategies, but have found that most deal with needing to complete a task that you find boring. I do struggle with this, but have found and used a lot of the coping mechanisms I’ve read about, and although still a struggle I feel like I have a decent control there.
My biggest issue lately is boredom in my free time. I have quite a bit of free time, and have such a hard time filling it. My worst nightmare is a free Saturday, because how am I supposed to fill 16 hours with things to do! Sometimes I’ll have a new interest and those 16 hours will fly by doing who knows what related to that interest. But then most times I’m sort of “between things” and spend most of my time frustrated that I don’t have anything I want to do. Doing pretty much anything with friends works as something I want to do, but don’t have a large group of friends.
Sometimes I’ll make myself take a long walk with the dog, and then realize I’m enjoying it and make a note to remind myself how that felt. The problem I have is that once I’m done with the walk, I’m right back to square one. Do I leave for a walk again? Or do I just need to find enough things like that that I could schedule into a full Saturday?
Last point I’ll make is that sometimes certain new hobbies seem interesting, but I know that I just want to learn and try them, but am not interested in the “10000 hours” phase of getting better at it. So then I’m reluctant to buying the things needed to try something or signing up for a new class etc. Do I just need to get over the fact that I’ll lose interest? Be fine with trying new things over and over?
Tl;dr: I don’t have any interests that last what do I do | 2021-11-19T04:22:00.000Z | qx83dc | 3 | 3 | ADHD | Request: Any tips for coping with “free time boredom”? | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qx83dc/request_any_tips_for_coping_with_free_time_boredom/ |
GrinningPizza | I can’t touch anything with it, but I just can’t stop doing it otherwise I get anxious. Fidgeting doesn’t work, gum doesn’t work, I need to be chewing something.
I can’t stop pulling the skin off my fingers either, just peeling strips away. It hurts bad later, then I always end up picking at the bandaids. I just really wanna stop.
Its controlling my life.

nonracistname | No matter where I am or what I'm doing, I can't wait until I can go home. And do absolutely nothing. And I hate it.
It makes me seem like I don't care about people and don't want friendships, when I do. It makes me seem rude and in a rush all the time, when I don't want to be. I've always felt this way and I really wish I didn't.

purpkuh | I was prescribed concerta before starting college but I did not like how it made me feel. It definitely helped me concentrate but the come down was awful. I told my doctor this and Instead was prescribed Ritalin which I like 100x better. I was recommended to use it twice a day but I only did one dose a day. Recently I’ve been having a terrible time at school and I’ve been incredibly bored. I now take 2 pills a day (spaced out with at least 4 hours in between a dose) which is fine but I’ve noticed I’ve been taking it only because it puts me in a good mood and makes me more outgoing. I can use it to be productive, but instead I use it to feel happy and play good during video games. Now I just look forward to taking my medication so I can feel good. I’m scared I’m going to get trapped in addiction and I do not know what to do. Let me know if I’m in danger of anything or if you have experienced this. | 2021-11-19T04:14:51.000Z | qx7yzg | 22 | 1 | ADHD | Am I addicted to Ritalin? | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qx7yzg/am_i_addicted_to_ritalin/ |
SeaRecognition8700 | I'm a college student and over halfway through a fairly hard degree. I'm now struggling to pass even when taking only two classes at once.

Yet again I've had an doc appointment canceled because they goofed up on their end.
GP --> phsy --> specialized doc?
I started this journey over the summer as I came to realize I and my dad both probably had ADHD. It was kind of strange to hear someone describe my life in their video on youtube, and it made all the pieces fit.
I have failed so many 300-400 level classes that I have done all the work for. I have done final projects only to find out I never turned them in or forgot to mark as public for professors and Ta's to grade. I have bullet journals, calender's, digital planners and about half a dozen alarms to try and remind myself of everything I can. And it still does almost nothing to help with missing things or trying to focus on studying.
Please if anyone has any suggestions or advice they can offer. My current solution of downing 3-4 energy drinks(900mg) a day to try to focus on stuff is expensive and only mildly effective. | 2021-11-19T04:13:43.000Z | qx7y9r | 2 | 3 | ADHD | Advise Please | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qx7y9r/advise_please/ |

Skippers101 | The hardest part about ADHD is not knowing if I have it or not. But the second hardest thing, is finding something that is cheap and easy, as I live in the US it is super expensive for health care so it seems like this insurmountable challenge just to know if I have ADHD or get any sort of therapy. And I always get thrown into thought loops or hyperfixate on it when I do so I try to just not think about it.

smsksksjsks | i’ve been on strattera for a month now (3 weeks on 40mg, 2 weeks and counting on 60mg) and was wondering if anybody had any advice for lessening or dealing with the constant drowsiness and lack of appetite i’ve been experiencing on this med.
i work nights and take my meds at 3pm before i leave for work. i’ve heard of some people taking it before bed or twice a day to combat drowsiness. does this work for anybody? if so i absolutely plan on asking my doctor about doing that.
note: i can’t drink coffee or energy drinks to stay awake because i have kidney stones. i’ve seen a few old posts suggesting to take the med with a protein shake because its protein activated - im not entirely sure what that means, if anybody could explain and/or give a recommendation to a protein shake that doesn’t taste overwhelmingly like protein powder i’d really appreciate it! | 2021-11-19T04:07:56.000Z | qx7uo2 | 1 | 1 | ADHD | any tips for managing strattera’s side effects? | 0.99 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qx7uo2/any_tips_for_managing_stratteras_side_effects/ |
ChildhoodSeveral3310 | Hey fam, since starting Ritalin I’ve noticed a bunch of weird symptoms that seem consistent with an auto-immune disease. I feel muscle twitches in my face, tingling and numbness in my arm, hands and feet, random and intermittent redness of my thumb and index finger. Ive had a brain MRI to rule out MS and blood test for lupus/thyroid function and everything has come back normal. I’m tempted to come off medication to see if my symptoms improve, but honestly my medication is the only thing preventing me from having a mental breakdown at work rn, and I’m terrified of my psych taking me off meds. Before I started Ritalin for ADHD I had nerve pain in my pelvis and take amitriptyline as well as Ritalin.

Dancing-Blade-Runner | I am living in eastern society, the tradition and education does not tolerate me even I was diagnosed ADHD in childhood. Teachers and parents just deny the fact and impose verbal and physical violence on me.
I got medicine when once I become adult, it solve some problem indeed but not my personality.
I am extremely lack of confidence, I can’t get out of the shadow from past. Caring too much on how’s people see me (I must be wired?), desperately to find the sense of belonging from others.
I am not sure if it’s because of ADHD or my personal experience. Maybe I am just not strong/confident enough.

Skippers101 | I used to be able to pick up a game and enjoy it for a long period of time, but recently whenever I try to get a new game (other than league because that's crack to me) I just immediately get bored. The way it works is, I start the game, I try to play it. Then I get this urge to do something else. Then I do something else and that's boring and the cycle repeats. I honestly miss being able to isolate myself for days on end without getting depressed, but now just being in my room for an hour or so makes me feel so bored that I just want to talk and do stupid shit with my friends.
I am not diagnosed with ADHD as it is far to expensive and my healthcare plan doesn't cover it, and I know I don't have the attention problem with adhd (as I tend to be able to focus on something for a long period of time) but I am very hyperactive. Meaning if I focus on something I CANNOT STOP FOCUSING ON IT. And I get mood swings were I am crazy and say random shit and cannot just chill out.
And so I think this is the reason why games aren't as fun, because I am just hyperactive and games are just not stimulating as they once were.

GiraffeReddit | Hi all. I’m a college student (20M) who was recently diagnosed with ADD. The other day I got really sad for some reason at a small little thing that happened to me.
I was walking to class and ended up being late because I realized I forgot to grab a mask and went back to my car. When I got to my car my girlfriend called me on FaceTime and when I answered I told her I was annoyed cause I couldn’t find a mask I just had and she said “you mean the one on your face?”
It just made me really sad for some reason and I’m really just getting annoyed with having to deal with the forgetfulness of ADD. It’s like a full time job and I’m really struggling especially now that I’m starting to move into a life where I am on my own.
Just wondering if anyone else has these moments and thought we can all share our struggles together.

The witch bewitched supergirl's boyfriend and made him think he was kissing her when really he was kissing the witch and couldn't see supergirl or even acknowledging that she existed. It gave me some for real relationship fears to the point that I dreamed about it and from then on had the fear of being forgotten. And the fear of the person I loved being tricked into liking or being sexually assault by someone else. Or just straight up stolen by someone else. It didn't help that when I was young a boy that I liked and said that he liked me immediately said "pink pink you stink" to me after meeting my cousin and getting a crush on her.

techdad8321 | For the past 7 years I’ve been with the love of my life. We both came from bad divorces, hers had some domestic violence in it. She had two kids prior so when I met her, I immediately fell in love with her and then her kids. I wasn’t out to replace their bio dad but be someone they could look up to, have fun with. We’ve had some great memories as a family. During the course of the years, I’ve had a repo happen (i got the car back), filed bankruptcy, run up cards, jobs were an issue . Even though most would have left, my partner stuck by me. Fast forward 2016 and 2018, my partner and I have two beautiful girls together which made our family complete. In 2019 I was diagnosed with anxiety and adhd. From then on after the first few months the meds really started to take a toll on myself. My behavior was making me not me. I was getting irritated at the littlest thing, I would fixate on the same thing. I had this before but now it was amplified. Just this October it got the best of me. I was no longer able to control my behavior and I ended up pushing my partner and her friend. No one got hurt and it was in defensive mode. Meds or no meds that should have never happen. I broke my family. Since then I had a 11 day stay in the hospital, sober for 40 days and finishing up an IOP. I haven’t been living in the house since I got out. Today she says that she’s not sure how to bring everyone back, her older kids do not want me in the house due to what I did. While their bio did a lot worse they opened up like nothing ever happened to him. She said it’s time to look for a place to stay. I have a sick mind and she needs to see me stable with meds, my job, overall mental health etc. She said she’s not giving up just it’s very raw right now which I understand. I told her I will bring that Chris you fell in love with. I’m super sad, angry and disappointed in myself not to mention disgusted. I’m praying for the outcome I want, I just hope it’s enough for her.

Comprehensive_Ad7338 | Hey guys, I’m a 15 y/o guy and I’m just confused I have some things that I just don’t understand about my life and ig I’ll post it here to maybe gets some answers.
I don’t know if this is related to my ADHD but I thought maybe people on here could help.
Pretty much my whole life I’ve gone through these phases; I would have no friends and not care for months or years on end but then it would all change, suddenly I find myself talking to everyone and I slowly build a massive group of friends. It’s almost like I shut myself out of society then rejoin and try to make up for what I was missing. I’m currently in 10th grade and at the beginning of 9th grade I had a fairly large group of friends. I just kind of stop hanging out with them and getting into arguments and somehow after a few years of friendship I just hated them I couldn’t stand to talk to them or see them and it seemed as if they hated me. I went into this depressive state just did the bare minimum and played video games ect. I just stopped socializing, I hated people and I couldn’t stand anyone. Then at the end of 9th grade I began to try and get friends. I started hanging out with a few people and they introduced me to their friends, slowly I gained more and more friends. I kept hanging out with them in the summer and now in 10th grade I have a massive friend group and it seems like I get along with most of the school. I just walk through the hallways and instead of sulking with my hood up I am giving people fist bumps exchanging hellos and I feel like I’m on the top of the world. The problem is I just don’t want to loose it and I feel like every time I spend time building friendships they fail eventually. Does anyone have insight on this?
My second problem is I don’t understand how my romantic feelings work. Not to get to deep or anything but All of my close friends know these two things about me. 1 I want to understand everything and it drives me insane when I can’t figure things out I constantly have anxiety over the smallest thing and don’t know why and 2 I have this weird thing where I either care way too much about someone or I don’t care at all and sometimes I even change that for people it’s like I get obsessed about someone and I want to either be in a relationship with them or just be best friends. I always have been a pretty shy guy when it comes to relationships. I wouldn’t say I don’t “get girls” or something like that and I’m not a shy person. It’s almost like I’m scared to talk to the people I care most about because I don’t want to fuck it up. I get these crushes and I try to act on them but I just am not able to. I don’t know if they even give a shit about me and I don’t want to look like a dumbass. But on the other hand I feel like I can’t live without them and don’t want to cause them to leave.
Idk honestly I might end up deleting this but lmk your thoughts. | 2021-11-19T03:44:45.000Z | qx7fk8 | 5 | 0 | ADHD | Friendships and Relationships. | 0.5 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qx7fk8/friendships_and_relationships/ |

Terra246 | So honestly I’ve been playing a lot of smt 5. Love it, was just playing it and was grinding a lot, so much that I’m over leveled. Kinda came out of the hyperfixation on it for a second. God that feeling of going from a high high to a low low. Like smt 5 kinda keeps me going, sad to say. Just wondering if this is common? If so, what helps with the low lows? | 2021-11-19T03:40:31.000Z | qx7ctg | 4 | 2 | ADHD | Coming off a hyperfixation | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qx7ctg/coming_off_a_hyperfixation/ |

Lilliecf | My adhd is getting so bad as I get older. I wasn’t diagnosed until a couple years ago and it’s helped my self esteem a lot knowing that I’m not just lazy or whatever life has said to me. I’d like to try meds but I have pretty severe anxiety, mostly social anxiety.
What do you think? Good idea? Bad a idea? Anyone have any experience or insight on this? | 2021-11-19T03:34:05.000Z | qx78ic | 5 | 1 | ADHD | Adhd meds and anxiety disorders | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/qx78ic/adhd_meds_and_anxiety_disorders/ |
