Bibliorphic | Do you guys ever study a subject and it's all fine and dandy until you get to that one fucking lesson that you absolutely hate and lose all interest and start getting distracted faster which causes you to not do it so you waste time instead of maybe moving on to something else so you're more refreshed but you damn well know that you won't go back to it cuz you hate it with all your soul?

Rogahar | On the phone to a loan's company to clear up some details regarding some documents I sent them when the agent had to put me on hold. While on hold, I stared out my window over the wooded area nearby, and saw a squirrel busily scurrying up and down a tall trees branches. I love animals and seeing them brightens up my day any day. To myself, I said "oh hey lil squirrel! Busy busy~".
The agent had picked up the line right as I started talking and I didnt notice til too late.
I just "ooh squirrel!"ed at a stranger.

Hey everyone, turns out that even when using a pill organizer, and keeping it properly stocked, problems can still happen. Went to bed at midnight, then this “morning” I woke up, and in the morning haze thought it was between 6-7 am (checked my watch, I swear) popped my meds and lay back down a bit. Suddenly I wake back up and realize that it’s only about 2 am. I’d just taken a dose of Vyvanse some time around 1:45 am 🤦♂️ . Wow, that’s a new one. Was able to nap a bit and now I’m at work on ~3 cumulative hours of sleep.
Guess I’ll have to keep the organizer just out of reach or my bed from now on… not particularly looking for advice, although I’ll take it 😀, just thought I’d share a silly anecdote. Hoping to change meds to one that doesn’t have Vyvanse’s annoying two hour induction time, so I won’t be tempted to take them as soon as I wake up again. | 2021-12-07T13:59:07.000Z | razs4r | 3 | 1 | ADHD | Took meds wayyyy too early | 0.67 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/razs4r/took_meds_wayyyy_too_early/ |

FictionalJake | Hi all,
I'm from the United States but studied international business with an emphasis in Spanish translation. I've lived in South America for short periods of time in the past but the opportunity recently came up for me to relocate to Buenos Aires to manage a new branch for my company as we expand into Latin America. I'm super excited as this is the type of opportunity I've been hoping for for a while. BUT!
I'm on Adderall. I was diagnosed at 30 years old and Adderall has been a life changer for me. It allows me to function and focus normally without having to hulk-smash my way through distractions and mental fogginess all day every day. Doing some googling it seems Adderall is literally illegal in Argentina, so now I'm trying to figure out what I do. Does anyone know of other ADHD meds available in Argentina? I'm meeting with my psychiatrist tomorrow, and ideally I would want to try and make the switch to another medication plan before relocating (which could be as soon as 1.5-2 months). Not sure if I need to just start tapering down my adderall in preparation for going off it completely and just do my best to manage my ADHD without it, or if I should talk to them about starting a new one that I know I'll be able to get down there. I'm going to be there for a full year, maybe more if I choose to stay.
Appreciate any info. Thanks | 2021-12-07T13:58:00.000Z | razrfq | 2 | 2 | ADHD | Anyone here either from or living in Argentina and know about treatment options available? | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/razrfq/anyone_here_either_from_or_living_in_argentina/ |
combatwombat007 | This has been my pattern my whole adult life. I feel like a productivity god on Mondays rampaging through tasks and making headway on big projects. "This is it! This is going to be the week it all comes together for me!" And by Wednesday, I have nothing left in the tank and basically coast through the rest of the week.
I've tried lots of different ways to even things out over the years, but never succeeded, and this pattern always returns
I'm 37 now (diagnosed this year) and feel like I should just accept this and work with it, but it still bugs the hell out of me that I can't find any way to pace myself through a week. I used to actually run marathons, so it's not like the idea of pacing myself is a foreign concept. But I've never figured out how to do it with work. | 2021-12-07T13:54:31.000Z | razp5y | 3 | 1 | ADHD | Who else feels like a hero every Monday and a total loser by Wednesday? | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/razp5y/who_else_feels_like_a_hero_every_monday_and_a/ |

A_KL | For a long time i didn't take my medication, because i felt like i didn't really "need" it and didn't want the side effects. I've been feeling down, not being able to do much for a few weeks so i decided to take my medication today. I've done some assignments, texted some people i needed to get back to, called someone about an internship and called customer service about a lost package. More than I've done in the past few weeks.

socialskills100 | The biggest surprise is that I _stim_. I know that everyone stims, apparently, I just never noticed myself doing it.
It’s pretty cold at my work at the moment, and I tend to draw my shoulders up, my hands into my sleeves and clap in front of myself. It’s almost like a greeting I do, or maybe I just happened to notice when my coworkers walked by and made eye contact.
Another big thing I noticed is that I’m not a confused or cluttered person. That’s how I tend to introduce myself.
I stood at the register today and after about 4 hours, I tracked down someone else down and asked them to _please_ take over for me. I felt overwhelmed, and it hit me like a train and stayed in my chest. We switched and the feeling _immediately_ went away! I was a bit all over the place, my mind feels cluttered and I have a hard time understanding what people are telling me. In turn, people also have a hard time understanding what I’m telling them.
It’s not _me_ who’s confused, cluttered and easily overwhelmed, it’s my _disorder_. This is the only time I’ve felt like this after I got meds, and it’s such a relieve to see how much they help me.
I’ve caught myself thinking a certain coworker hates me today. She doesn’t, she just gave me a bored expression ONCE. The rest of the day she’s smiled and giggled at me none stop. In a good way, not demeaning.
Right now I’m sitting somewhere hidden, taking an extra break. I’m not a lazy person, but it’s _exhausting_ to feel this way. All those times where I’ve desperately needed just another five minutes. It’s not poor work ethic! It’s not a bad habit. My brain has just worked double as hard today as my coworkers’.
I’m also far less social! But not because I have poor social skills.
A last thing is that, now that I have been on meds for a month, I’ve created new habits. Good habits! Today, I double checked if I had left anything behind. I took an extra second to think about what I was gonna say, rather than blurting out something weird or oversharing.
So, do I feel like shit today? Yeah. Does it feel good to know I’ll have my meds tomorrow? Fuck yeah.
I hope that this can be a reminder to some of you that it’s not you, and it’s not something you can just fix yourself. Other people tend to have that expectation for us and it’s not fair | 2021-12-07T13:46:36.000Z | razk4f | 22 | 42 | ADHD | Today I forgot to bring my meds to work and learned a whole lot about myself | 0.97 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/razk4f/today_i_forgot_to_bring_my_meds_to_work_and/ |
IAmTimeLocked | I've listened to Circles by Mac Miller so many times. The way he talks about depression really resonates with symptoms like Executive Dysfunction and RSD.
When sad, I like to listen to music to relate to. Recently, I've been listening to Tequila Shots by Kid Cudi and Social Cues by Teezo Touchdown. ***Does anyone have any recommendations for any genre in any art medium to relate to? I'm hoping this will start a thread of a load of relatable ADHD arts, but I fear there's not too many!***
I also really crave a show like Love on the Spectrum but for ADHD. Not necessarily the same topic, but just with a focus on ADHD bc I nearly cried every few minutes and it wasn't even *that* relatable!
***I put the only relevant part in bold bc I tend to ramble haha***

Flyxed | Hi everyone,
For a very long time now I’ve questioned consistently whether or not I have some sort of condition, whether it be ADHD or perhaps that I’m on the spectrum.
I hate to self diagnose and never have stuck the ‘label’ onto myself but I have found that when I have done online tests before (which I know aren’t always helpful whatsoever) for both ADHD and autism that they’ve said I MAY have either.
I struggle with concentration on doing tasks which I know I should do, including simple things like putting my washing away, and especially college work and other time-based tasks. I find myself just procrastinating and always leaving things to last minute even though I tell myself I want to finish before the deadline, say days or weeks in advance, but I can never motivate myself towards doing these things. It’s different with my actual job (shopkeeping) because I think I’m always pre-occupied and I can’t put off not serving a customer etc.
Something I know isn’t recognised medically but people say is related to ADHD is RSD, which I struggle with quite badly as well. I hate being perceived as “lazy” because I delay things consistently when I would wish I could simply just do them right as I think of them. I get very emotional and down when my plans change unexpectedly or if something I’ve had in my head going one way goes another e.g., unable to see my friends/girlfriend when I’ve told myself in my head that this scenario would take place.
Something my girlfriend pointed our as well is how I get very obsessed with things for short term periods, say a week or two and then I not necessarily ‘forget’ about them, but don’t bother with them and maybe will pick them back up later. This had been stuff such as being obsessed with my skincare, dental hygiene but also random crap like Rubik’s cubes, certain typically older games, learning another language (which I told myself wasn’t going to just be another obsession and lo and behold it was) and like, I find myself just going over the top and reading into it more than I presume people usually would and just spewing facts and stuff I’ve learned about it to my gf. It doesn’t bother me and I don’t think my girlfriend meant it in a mean way but it adds to my concern.
It’s bothered me for a while and I opened up a bit about it to my friends from college recently, one of which has Asperger’s syndrome and said that I named traits/symptoms similar to him but to a lesser degree. I’m just all a bit in the dark about it, I hate the idea going to the GP to discuss this, similar to when I had depression, I hated the idea of opening up to someone about it to be told whether I was or wasn’t, it wasn’t until I spoke to my mum about it and she took me to speak to somebody about it.
Do you think I may have something related to ADHD or autism? How do I go about getting a diagnosis and support? I’ve put it off for a long time but I really want to put my mind to rest, I’m 20 now and don’t want to find out much later in life. | 2021-12-07T13:45:56.000Z | razjo5 | 5 | 3 | ADHD | How should I seek a diagnosis? | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/razjo5/how_should_i_seek_a_diagnosis/ |
InvincibleSummer_ | As we know, adhd is not an attention disorder but one of attention regulation. When i was young i could withdraw into my thoughts for hours (likely dissociation as well given cptsd), create elaborate inner worlds/stories, spend hours writing etc. I was focused and zoned into myself for hours.

jessimonstergrr | So I've been doing scheduling for a doctor's office for about 8 months now. I'll try to give a little back story.
I come from bartending (roughly 17 years of it, with other medical odd jobs in between like in-home health care, cna, etc.) This job was a MASSIVE change of pace to the slow lane, but after I went a year of depression and not working through covid, I needed a job. Even if it meant sitting in an office. Bartending can't be my main source of income. I can't rely on it. So I picked up scheduling for this doctor's office in the end of April. I LOVED everything about this because not only was I learning a fuck ton of new stuff, but it was a chance for me to really help people, or so I thought. I'd make extra calls and help people problem solve their way through things that didn't necessarily have to do with my direct job description. The director of my department loved my work ethic and wanted to make me a supervisor within a few months. That fell through. Went to someone else higher up than the schedulers. My coworkers apparently hated me for my work ethic. Because it was creating more work for them. They didn't like going out of their way to help people, and I would without a second thought. So my supervisor and the director both had to sit me down and tell me to stop working so hard and stay within the job description. I wasn't going to let any of that break my spirit, I could still stay busy during the job, which was ultimately what I needed. Now, they've cut our work load and literally everyone is thriving except me. I told my bosses I need to be busier and they're trying to work with that, but this job is just hell for me now. I've lost all interest and it's turned into this monotonous blob that I dread every morning. All I think about is quitting every morning. The company hiring site only has jobs that I'm either not qualified for (like medical assistant or RN) or are basically the same scheduling I'm doing now.
This is a great company, and I want to stay with them and move up and my director is willing to get me into any department that would be a fruitful switch. I talk to him about it constantly, there's just no place for me right now. But I'm trying to hang in there because I want to use the company to go back to school and to advance my career. How can I respark my enthusiasm? How do I stop myself from wanting to quit every day? I feel like soul sucking jobs are hard enough without ADD, but with it I'm losing my mind. The monotony is killing me.
Any help is welcome, please. I'll take all advice at this point. | 2021-12-07T13:39:41.000Z | razfid | 1 | 3 | ADHD | Keeping a job where you've lost all interest | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/razfid/keeping_a_job_where_youve_lost_all_interest/ |

LittlePurpleS | Hello!
Yesterday my doctor moved my adderall dose from 40mg to 30mg because it was too high for me and I was having a lot of anxiety, moodiness, loss of appetite, etc. I moved down to the 30mg this morning and I’ve noticed that my appetite is definitely a lot better, but I still feel sort of moody and gross. Does it take time to adjust to a lower dose after being on a higher dose for a long time? I almost feel a little bit hungover, slightly nauseous, still sort of anxious and uneasy, tired. Is that fairly normal when you move down to a lower dose? | 2021-12-07T13:33:36.000Z | razbf9 | 1 | 1 | ADHD | How long does it take to adjust to a new dose of Adderall XR? | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/razbf9/how_long_does_it_take_to_adjust_to_a_new_dose_of/ |
Reagster050 | I'm having a very hard time getting up in the mornings. I'm barely able to get up anymore. The issue is definitely me not getting enough sleep but I can't seem to get to bed before 11:30 every night. Some information needed I guess, I'll be tired at work but wide awake when I get home. I just can't seem to get my self to go to bed because I feel like I'm missing out on time even though I'm not doing much of anything. I am an electrical engineer and my boss (in his 60s) has decided to complain about it now that I've been here 3 years. It's not like I'm an hour late, it's 10-15min. But I just can't get up in the morning. Currently off medication (didn't change this when I was on it) because strattera/wellbutrin did nothing but help stop me from getting mad at stupid stuff. Which I mean it was nice to not be furious at games when I die but I need help in other areas. So back to the Dr soon. I'm in the US, what has been people's experiences with this? Honestly I used to be super punctual job wise but I'm salary, don't have to clock in or out and frankly I feel like if they expect me to answer my phone at home and to stay or come in on my time then they should let me go. My previous job allowed you to swing hours indiscriminately and we had engineers working 10-6:30 or even 11-7:30. It's not like I have to immediately be responsible for things when I get in more than a few times a year. It's just frustrating because it's like nothing I do changes the time I get to work. Actually I did 3 weeks coming in an hour earlier and was here on time every day. Idk why I am having such a hard time with this, I never used to. Could it be the lack of me having to clock in now? That is a first for me. | 2021-12-07T13:31:16.000Z | raz9qk | 3 | 1 | ADHD | What can I do about being 5-15min late to work? | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/raz9qk/what_can_i_do_about_being_515min_late_to_work/ |

theunknowncompanion | Hi there, my doctor said it's safe to split capsules in half if you don't want to take a full dose or even a booster in the afternoon.
I took 50mg in the morning (10 am), and can already feel it sort of wearing off (yesterday I took two 30mgs, one in the morning at 10 am and one in the afternoon at 2 pm to keep me going, again, this was OKed by my doctor...) I think the reason it's also wearing off quickly is cause I didn't sleep well last night, so it's not as effective, apparently that's a thing?
If I need a boost in the afternoon for today, I was considering splitting my 30mg... is there a safe way to do this? Mixing it in water? I won't be finishing work till late tonight, it's not so much sleep I'm worried about (yesterday I overdid it with caffeine which I will NOT be doing today), it's more keeping me going till at least 8-9 tonight.... which at the moment, doesn't seem likely. Perhaps it's causing my body to be better with the essentially 60mg yesterday? Sorry for rambling, tired!

KidChateau | More specifically, I take 50mg of Trazadone and 25mg of Vyvanse but as needed.
If I can't sleep normally I just break a Trazadone in half for when I haven't used my ADHD meds in a bit but am tired.
On the other hand the first time I had taken a Vyvanse for a while was 2 days ago and I didn't feel tired after work so I used a Trazadone and went to sleep fine but after waking up still kinda felt the sensation of the ADHD meds.
Tonight I thought I was tired but instead of sleeping tonight I just cuddled my dog for about 8 hours.
I'm not sure if I stayed up because I was hungry( haven't had much money for food lately) or because of my ADHD meds.
Just wondering if anyone here has had these problems before. | 2021-12-07T13:06:23.000Z | raytbu | 12 | 3 | ADHD | Is sleeping medication a realistic way to go to sleep consistently if you take ADHD medication? | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/raytbu/is_sleeping_medication_a_realistic_way_to_go_to/ |

Zach-uh-ri-uh | So my bf and I have just taken over my friends cats due to health issues, and we’re going to keep them for a while. They’re lovely cats, but they’re not used to closed doors.
We decided to keep them out of the bedroom because cat hair gets to me, I don’t think I’m allergic but it makes my throat really dry and coughy.
(And because when we got them I’d just gotten eye surgery, and the long hair cut hasn’t been to the groomer yet I e was rubbing the poop that was stuck in her fur wherever she sat, so we decided it might be better to keep the sheets as clean as possible as it was healing)
We currently haven’t decided to open up the door yet, because I also feel like I need space to get away from them
And here comes the main concern. They are both talkative cats, but one of them meows a lot all the time, she has a nerve injury so she has to wear a collar 24/7 and has done so for years. She knows that if she is loud and annoying enough, her humans might budge and take it off of her.
She is also extremely extremely clingy/insecure, if you’re talking to someone over phone or video, she will hop up on you and make her sound that sounds like a human baby screaming until you’re actively paying attention to her, preferably with both hands.
Now, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the cat! That’s just how she is, humans can be insecure too, it’s not her fault at all.
The problem that arises is that I react to it, strongly. I feel really guilty when she shows her dissatisfaction, I get really stressed when I can’t please her (her previous owner jokes that pleasing her is just not possible as long as you’re not letting her hurt herself by scratching at the itch) (and even then she will still come and yell after a while)
Clearly the problem is in me. We’re trying all the things from cat behaviourists; stimulation, a lot of active playtime, trying to pay a lot of attention, they have a cat tree that they love etc.
Her breeder/first owner was also kind of crazy, not like mentally ill I mean who isnt, but in an r/justnomil type of way
So I think this might just be how this cat is. And I want to love her, I want to not let her get under my skin.
How can I react to her like a normal person? The way my boyfriend does, or their owner who we keep them for, just kinda let her meow and not not be bothered by it? How can I be more okay with her in my personal space? | 2021-12-07T12:50:09.000Z | rayic0 | 9 | 1 | ADHD | How can I be less annoyed by the cats? | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/rayic0/how_can_i_be_less_annoyed_by_the_cats/ |

MoozeOnABicycle | This morning was kinda hectic. In the middle of it all, I find out that my smallest kids boots, which has been wet since Saturday, still hasn’t dried properly. This is a routine situation and I’ve made a rack to hold a hair drier in a good position over the boots to dry them quickly.
But as the boots are getting warm from the drying, it becomes obvious that there is some sort of bacterial growth going on in the boots. They start to smell a lot. I have a background in chemistry and biochemistry, and I think to myself that the best and quickest way to get rid of bacteria in a host of platic, is by microwaving the boots.
I’ve done this a number of times with other objects. Dish cloths that starts to smell, towels, toothbrushes, and all other sorts of inorganic objects that are smelly can get fixed really quick by 15-30 secs at 800 W.
So I think to myself: “Let’s try that with the boots. I’ll of course keep an eye on what’s happening, and I’m ready to stop the MW anytime. Besides, there’s no real metal on the boots so what could happen?” I have a few nagging thoughts, like what will happen to the glue but I shake them off. Besides, I’m gonna be keeping an eye on it the whole time. What can go wrong?!
Fast forward eight seconds, and I make an emergency stop on the MW as there are sparks and flashes from the boot. Turns out that the wires in the BOA locking system are made of steel wires coated in plastic. And now the boot is - not completely, but somewhat - burnt out.
Thanks, impulsive brain who doesn’t stop to think twice. That’s just another €120 on the ADHD tax account. | 2021-12-07T12:41:34.000Z | rayctd | 1 | 7 | ADHD | I fried my kids winter boot. | 0.9 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/rayctd/i_fried_my_kids_winter_boot/ |
ThatHairyGuyOG | I (22M) have been struggling with school results since high school. At the end of primary school in the Netherlands, you get a test to determine the difficulty of high school. I got the maximum score, so I got put in the highest grade of high school. Trying to study was hell, and my grades reflected that. I barely made it through my first year, I had to redo my second, and had to switch schools to go to a lower difficulty. At the new school, it was the same story all over again. Highschool took me 8 years, and I barely got trough on the second highest level.
Then university came along. 2 years of uphill battles against myself and my brain, and didn't even finish half my first year. Now I'm studying computer science at a level lower than uni (I think that's the equivalent of college?).
I got talking with a friend of mine about 3 months ago. She has ADD and Aspergers, and after a while of talking and seeing a lot of comparison of our mental states, she told me to try and get a diagnosis.
That's where the fun began: I had to book an appointment with my doctor for a referral. She was on holiday, so I had to go see another doctor. He was in training, and could barely help me (He was downplaying everything I said, and basically just told me to concentrate better). He then told me I had to make another appointment with the mental health support person of the doctor's office. She was great, and helped me a lot with getting my referral, and looking for a good company for diagnosis.
After I got my referral, I had to make more calls to get the appointment for diagnosis. Waiting time: 19 weeks. Appointment: 28th of February. Need to call my insurance now, to get 'waiting time mediation'. It wasn't possible to get an appointment sooner. Needed to call the diagnosis company again. They put me on another waiting list, for if others can't make it to the appointment etc.
It's been 2 months of appointments, calling and using online tools, and it's still not gotten me anywhere. I just want to get diagnosis and I just want to get some help.

themcnoisy | Hi everyone, when remortgaging over the phone today I also took a quote on life insurance to cover the balance of the mortgage (last 5 years). So anyhow it was £5 a month for 5 years after going through the questions.
Then the crazy part. I brought up the fact I have ADHD as it was never asked initially (unlike cancer, heart issues etc) Once we got into my medical history I mentioned ADHD and selected the options for being on meds and that ADHD doesn't effect my day to day life or work. I was then rejected!
So yes it's saved me a fiver but I feel let down. Why have I been rejected? | 2021-12-07T12:26:19.000Z | ray2pc | 20 | 10 | ADHD | I got rejected for life insurance because I have ADHD :( | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/ray2pc/i_got_rejected_for_life_insurance_because_i_have/ |

socksandtoads | Disclaimer, I'm not sure if this actually is a symptom of adhd, and I don't know where else I should post this where people can actually see..
So ever since the start of the year(2021) I have these weird dream 'episodes'. Basically I'd sleep/close my eyes for a few seconds, let me tell you I'm very much conscious during this episodes, but I struggle in opening my eyes soon after. It had gotten to the point where when I wake up my body jerks by itself. It had also gone very worse as the year had progressed where it would even affect me during our family prayer time every Saturday. I've already consulted my parents about this but they've kept telling me that I'm just being dramatic and using my adhd as an excuse to not be "a holy Christian"
How do I know I'm aware of my surroundings? During one of the prayer time, the episode happened again, I kept mumbling random nonsense till I jerked and told my mom that I was conscious during the prayer so she asked me questions on what happened which I answered all correctly.
Im going to the doctor tomorrow again for a checkup and I'm thinking of bringing it up. | 2021-12-07T12:17:36.000Z | raxx4m | 6 | 1 | ADHD | I have these weird "dreams"?? | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/raxx4m/i_have_these_weird_dreams/ |
nxshhxle | I’ve (24M) never been an adventurous eater. The only vegetables I would stand/crave growing up were corn and green beans. The audible and physical crunch bothers me a lot. Fruits are easier, although some textures, like strawberries, are a hard no. Virtually any dish with haphazard components (e.g. casserole) is a no, because I will dissect it, and likely won’t really eat it because everything has touched.
I would like to lead a healthier lifestyle and lose weight, but my palette holds me back from making a change to my diet. My wife suggested that the ways in which veggies were introduced to me were likely cooked poorly - like served straight from a can. Most healthy recipes call for things I would not eat.
As I’ve grown, I’ve gotten better - I can cook decently and often do for my household, but sometimes won’t even bring myself to eat it. I made fajitas the other night and sautéed bell peppers to top them. I seasoned them with salt, pepper and a bit of crushed red pepper and “hid” them in the fajita and tightly wrapped the tortilla so I couldn’t see them. It seemed to help a bit. Not sure if I need to try eating blindfolded.
Has anyone overcome their texture problems? If so, what steps did you take? | 2021-12-07T12:17:27.000Z | raxx1i | 2 | 1 | ADHD | How do others with food texture sensitivities mange their diet and expand their palette? | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/raxx1i/how_do_others_with_food_texture_sensitivities/ |
giuly_leo | Let's start a bit back: I never went to therapy my whole life despite me asking my parents multiple times, now that I'm 21 I finally started cuz they gave me permission. I've started going to therapy about 2 months ago at last. So I don't have any diagnosis of anything. Today I finally mastered my courage to ask my therapist to do a test for ADHD to either find out if I have it or not. It took me so much to ask, because I feel guilty, I feel like I'm not 'bad enough' to ask for help, because I'm an adult, because everyone has always told me that I exaggerate everything in my life and I feel that everything that I feel or do is fake, even if I know it's real, after a while it just seems like I'm faking everything I've ever done.
But I was able to tell my therapist that I wanted to get tested for ADHD cuz it's been bugging me for a while and I want to know if it's that or not ya kno? I've only met her like 8 times I think, so it's not too long, and she's the first and only therapist I've had.
Anyway, to the point. After I told her she asked me "how were you as a kid?", And I told her that I was the type of kid no one had to worry about, she then asked me if I had trouble focusing as a kid and I told her that sometimes I did (and I still do but now it's much worse than when I was a kid), it depends on a lot of factors (if I like what I'm doing, if I'm interested in what I'm doing, who am I doing the thing with if I'm doing this with someone, if, in that period, I am super focused on that thing, and so on), she asked me if I had any trouble keeping still, and like, I don't have any trouble sitting, but I always have to do something with my hands and stuff, so idk. She declared that I do not have ADHD based on these things, and maybe that's true and I'm just exaggerating like everyone has told me always, but idk. She based her assumption on the male kid criteria (I'm a cis girl) but I've also spoke to girls that have ADHD and were neither too hyper or had too much trouble focusing as children, so again idk. She then told me that if my teachers also didn't ask for me to get tested, then it means I don't have anything. After that she told me that I won't get tested.
Again, maybe I'm exaggerating, maybe I'm reading into it too much, but this thing is still in the back of my head. I told her it's ok, because idk I've always had trouble asking for help and stuff like that and I didn't want to trouble her and didn't want to seem obsessed or something. But now idk what to do, she didn't clear up my doubt at all, I feel like there's something off about me but I can't point out what it is and I'd like to get tested anyway, just yk, to understand, to be sure. Ik that I probably sound very selfish but I feel like I need to do it. But idk how, I'd feel bad asking her again because of what I've said before, so I'm very confused on how to act or if I just drop all of this or something. I'm so confused now and idk who to ask, when I tried to tell my mum she dismissed it right away, I'm not even going to try with my dad so yea. What should I do now? Should I insist or should I just drop it and go on? | 2021-12-07T12:16:20.000Z | raxwcl | 2 | 1 | ADHD | Getting tested or should I not? | 0.99 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/raxwcl/getting_tested_or_should_i_not/ |

Freestyle-Toast | I've basically got my perfect job.
I sit in an empty office all day (everyone is work from home) answering, on a busy day, 20 emails, usually less than 10 a day.
I occasionally have to book couriers or meet with contractors for some odd job my manager has already booked (She's also WFH)
I do about, 2 - 5 hours of work a week, a couple times its been less.
I live within walking distance of my work (8 mins) and its timed perfectly by time I drop my daughter to school and walk to work I'm bang on time (sometimes late still, somehow)
And I keep fucking up!
I forget to do stuff, I read an email think about my reply, and never end up replying.
I read an email, start asking questions as if I have no idea what they mean, but after my manager explaining why I should know (it was stuff I was dealing with the week before) realizing I know exactly what the context is.
Forgetting to send weekly update email, every damn week.
Forgetting to order stuff so have to walk to the local shop to buy basic office stuff like milk and bread (maybe 10 visitors a week)
Forgetting to cancel access cards and create new ones.
I begged for years for an easy job with an understanding manager (shes very helpful and still thinks I'm great) and to be close to home, and yet I STILL can't get my shit together. | 2021-12-07T12:02:13.000Z | raxnds | 30 | 32 | ADHD | Easiest job ever, Still struggling. | 0.98 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/raxnds/easiest_job_ever_still_struggling/ |

JazziestCabbage | Hello,
I’m seeking an ADHD assessment because I’m convinced I may have that as well, I score very high on the screening test and have been struggling a lot in college. I can’t afford a private diagnosis this year so I’m going to try with NHS Scotland.
My issue is that I was diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorder in 2019, and although my GP was more than willing to refer me, the psych team refused to see me because (sic) ‘Cabbages case is too complex’. This is because at the time I had multiple issues including dysphoria, depression and PTSD. The only reason I got an assessment is because a very kind nurse and his psychiatrist colleague from the gender clinic agreed that I was in great need of one, so I got bumped to the top of the waiting list and was diagnosed in 5 months
I am scared the psych team will reject me again if I ask my GP. Does anyone have any advice? | 2021-12-07T11:51:57.000Z | raxh51 | 2 | 2 | ADHD | UK Diagnosis (Scotland) | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/raxh51/uk_diagnosis_scotland/ |

hanki_dory | Guys do you also have the need to do everything, always twice?
Like when you walk up the stairs and you take first a right step you have to switch midway trough and start with de left foot. And then, because it makes no sense, you have to do all over again because you have to start the cycle with your left foot too. Why? Because it makes no sense, but it would be unfair to your left foot.
And al situations like that. While sitting in the car I often blink with one eye when I cross a tree or a light. And if I had done it lets say 3 times with the right eye I of course have to do it 3 times with the left eye. And so on and so on.

RedLilGirl | I've been on meds for depression and BPD for 10 years (I'm 26 now). I've always had ADHD symptoms but I used to think "that's the way I am" and ignore them, or think they just were a consequence of depression or anxiety.
I've had the same psychiatrist for 8 years now and she thinks she knows me well (and she does, on most things).
How can say I think have ADHD in a way she can actually think about it and listen to me, instead of discarding the idea right away?
I live in Italy and adult ADHD diagnosis here seems much more difficult than in the US. I also have a high QI that makes it almost impossible for others to believe I can have ADHD.

axegrinderrr | Recently I came into the harsh reality of how bad my " adhd " effects my day to day life.
I work in a highly stressful enviroment where I have up to 30 staff memebers who depend on my memory and guidance throughout the day.
I have generally pretty bad anxeity that almost fuels my job and everything I do. It's a blessing and a curse. I forget things almost seconds after I hear them or get my words jumbled from trying to let out what's in my mind. I have word vomit and I find my emotions sometimes interfere with logical reasoning or decisions... I'm a chronic over sharer with no real boundaries for myself with what I say and share. I'm growing more concerned on how my peers and staff think of me or how at times they may take advantage of the way my mind works compared to them... which brings me to desperately seeking the right doctor to help... I currently have been seeing a specialist(GP) in adult adhd who has done nothing but try to plant the seed of mania in my mind. He has made a few statements that just don't sit right with me and has lied about the scripts he is giving me maybe believing I am too naieve/trusting to do my own reasearch.
The first appointment he immediately diagnoses me with bipolar or BPD with underlying symptoms of adhd due to the fact I have a family history of manic bipolar and schizophrenia. After an hour of trying to explain to him my current symptoms and how I do not believe they resonate with what he believes he reffered me onto a psychologist/psychiatrist who he explained rejected my claim due to how complicated and hard I am which brought me to tears , in which he also claimed built hes case on me being bipolar.
Trying to explain to someone endlessly that my mood is based on environent and treatment/rejection from others is becoming exhausting.
He asked me to write a list of my underlining conditions and where I believe they fit in and my list of adhd traits still outweighed BPD or bipolar. I'm lost... I've paid 1500 just to begin and its 375AUD just for a single appointment that leaves me more lost and anxious than before. I almost feel like I've come a little bit too far to give up and maybe we are having some cultural barriers and I may not be understanding him well enough... or that I am what he is stating so I lack the understanding of what he's trying to " help " me with.
I had a few red flags but I'm still thinking maybe I looking to far into it all...
He tried to ask me about previous relationships which I explained I was in a almost 5 year relationship with someone who I thought was the love of my life and he came out to me as gay but soon later was found dating an old female close friend of mine only months later. He told me that he just lied to me and used it to get away from me because I was to hard to deal with (red flag 1)
He completely disregarded my current relationship because my partner is younger than me by 4 years. Stating its not a real relationship (Red flag 2)
I'm not aloud to see anouther doctor or specialist until I complete my trial of medication potentially leading to a drug test to conform compliance.
The literal first sentence he said to me was " im not sexist but females are _____
Currently he has me trialing Lamictal and doubling my dosaging every week until I hit 200mg in 4 weeks which has made me feel totally awful and sending me into worse moods swings than ever before.
I'm scared he will not help me with my adhd if I do not comply with hes requests even though in my heart of hearts I know this isn't helping its making me worse. In melbourne it seems waiting lists are huge and very expensive. So before I continue having this pity party for myself. My actual question was are there any good specialists in this field that offer true help or am I doomed to repeat the cycle of the same treatment. | 2021-12-07T11:13:40.000Z | rawuvd | 3 | 1 | ADHD | Please help me. | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/rawuvd/please_help_me/ |
natttsss | I have this thing that sometimes, when I want to do something new, I completely don't know how to start, what to do and I can't get anywhere. It seems like no matter all the research I do, I can't put it into practice. It's like there's this fog in my brain between where I am and where I want to go/what I want to do, I can't see how to get there, I can't reach it. And then, out of nowhere, the fog fades and I can do that like magic. The thing is, I can't make the fog disappear when I need it to. Sometimes it takes years for the fog to disappear and well, I don't have that time.
This happened so many times in my life. I once took the same subject in college five times (five! two years and a half in the same class) and for the first four times, it was this, I couldn't understand anything and I just failed again and again. But the last time the fog cleared. Within minutes I understood it and I got my highest score on my college degree from this class. Suddenly I just knew and it was obvious.
For years now I want to write fiction, but anytime I try to, the fog comes and I just sit there going nowhere. Anyone else has this? Any tips on making the fog go away without waiting years? | 2021-12-07T11:05:44.000Z | rawqg8 | 6 | 15 | ADHD | ADHD Paralysis on doing something mentally challenging | 0.95 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/rawqg8/adhd_paralysis_on_doing_something_mentally/ |
daibrrs | Hello to all, I was diagnosed this year and after a lot of med trials settled with Elvanse 40mg. Everything was working sorta of okay but now I have some weird symptom. I have what I think it's hunger but it doesn't go away after I eat. I get sick with this med so I force myself to eat small snacks but yet after 5 minutes I am super hungry and dizzy again. Anyone has that too? Could that be a solution to fix it?

marloesadel | Since three weeks we have a new school schedule.
Looks kind of like this:
Monday: Internship
Tuesday: Two classes around 11:30-14:00
Wednesday: Internship
Thursday: One class around 15:00-16:30
Friday: No classes
I have been unintentionally skipping class on tuesday for two weeks now.
•After an internship day I'm just so exhausted that I can not get out of bed before 11am. Yes, I do set An alarm clock in time. I just can't make myself get out of bed when it goes off.
•I have to travel for an hour so when I get up I already know I am not going to make the first class on tuesday.
•I guess I could be in time for the second class, but I just feel so exhausted that my brain just keeps coming up with thoughts like:
"I feel so tired, maybe let's stay home today."
"I deserve to rest today."
" If I show up for the second class, I will have to explain why I didn't show up for the first."
"I already messed up anyways, so it doesn't matter if I mess up more now."
•I just can't get myself to get dressed etc. which will make me so late that I miss my second class on tuesday as well. | 2021-12-07T11:02:28.000Z | rawomt | 1 | 1 | ADHD | New school schedule doesn't work for me | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/rawomt/new_school_schedule_doesnt_work_for_me/ |

Chemical-Data9104 | Hello guys I am f23, recently diagnosed with ADHD and start taking one Ritalin LA 10mg per day since a week ago. It makes me calm and be more patient, friendly to other. However, about one hour after I took it, I felt quite sleepy, like this morning I took it at 9:00am after breakfast, and I felt tired around 9:30 to 10:00. I ended up take a nap after breakfast, is it normal for who just start to take the pill?
Should I wait and see, to discuss this issue with my doctor in next meeting? Or should I stop the med and make a early appointment? | 2021-12-07T10:46:45.000Z | rawfso | 6 | 2 | ADHD | Ritalin LA make me sleepy | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/rawfso/ritalin_la_make_me_sleepy/ |

WrinkleFreePants | Okay, so this is going to sound a bit scummy/entitled, but I'm saying it anyway... 😬
Does anyone know any (financial or otherwise), straightforward benefits that are available to claim for in the UK, for people with adult ADHD?
I've looked into it a bit, but it doesn't seem that there is any help available. I've just applied for a form for 'pip', but I highly doubt I'll be awarded anything. I will do my best to explain how legitimately debilitating ADHD/symptoms are for me, but I'm sure that won't make a difference.
Some other examples:
I'm positive that a blue badge would help me immensely (driving/parking causes me lots of stress and trouble), but you need some sort of mobilty benefit to get one (catch 22). A bus pass would be helpful in this case, but that's not available for ADHD in my area.
Even silly (but honestly helpful) things like 'fast track' passes at theme parks etc. need proof of a disability benefit, as far as I can tell. Yet, everyone and his dog seems to have one these days.
I'm so irrationally infuriated that I know people who are wilfully exploiting the benefit system, easily, and feel I actually DO need this help that is provided to others. But, I have no access to it, as far as I can tell.
Any advice? Either 'perks' (for MUCH want of a better word) that we *are* fully entitled to, to make life a bit easier struggling this condition. Or, how to get over this annoyed 'not fair' attitude?
Thanks so much. Sorry for being so blunt x | 2021-12-07T10:39:43.000Z | rawc1o | 12 | 1 | ADHD | UK: 'Disability' benefits and help advice? | 0.67 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/rawc1o/uk_disability_benefits_and_help_advice/ |
DifficultGrowth3688 | Yesterday I finally started the process of getting diagnosed. I waited for 1 months to get there. And I am so happy about it! Finally taking this load off of my shoulders, whether I get diagnosed or not.
Yesterday was an interview with doctors asking about my life, my family, why I got to the ADHD conclusion. It was almost two hours long and with my mother (we don't have a good relationship as in her mind I forget things in spite and I am the most selfish person that doesn't even care to help her and doing something around home).
Is it normal I had to face the whole interview with her in the same room? They asked me to describe parents and my personal life (I am 22, I still live with them but I don't share everything and I don't want them to know what's in my mind). I had to keep it low and trying not to lie. Still was pretty uncomfortable. Ofc at some point became my mother dumping shit on me for what we argue for. Luckily one of the doctors said to try and understand my situation better as there is a possibility is not definitely my fault.
Have you faced the same thing? The doctor hinted that next time I will have to do some tests and said something about my mother being there too. I don't know how to handle this and how it is important for her to be there. I don't want to compromise the whole thing, I might just "suffer" for the cause if needed but I wanted to hear more from you.
Also I will wait for a call to book the appointment for the test. My impulsive side ( i am definitely impulsive, doesn't metter if I am disgnosed or not) is just freaking out because I don't have a date!!

gardengirl08 | Hey! So I have had undiagnosed & untreated ADHD since early childhood, my parents knew about it but didn’t want to risk changing who I am as a person by starting medication too soon. I’m 23 now and severely drowning in many responsibilities and I resonate so deeply with just about all of the symptoms that it’s great not to feel alone but I’ve been embarrassingly stagnant. My question is about physical medication and if there are any side effects that stand out in anyone’s mind, can bring on addictions or dependency, or dull your personality? I’m desperate for solutions and prescription medication seems like the best option to help me through school which is a pretty immediate, pressing matter but I don’t want to end up with more problems than the medication was intended to solve. | 2021-12-07T10:36:21.000Z | rawad5 | 1 | 1 | ADHD | Side Effects? | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/rawad5/side_effects/ |

420_lazeit | So I was wondering if there’s any tips recommended by PI adhders! I really struggle with like motivation and organisation, like I can sit and clean my desk for half an hour straight and it still feels messy.
I’m on fluoxetine for OCD and I really believed I was feeling a flatness from fluoxetine and was worried about compromising the flatness for fear of death.
However, I spoke to my psychiatry team and upon discussing it with them they mentioned stimulation with ADHD and how not doing something or thinking you will be bored after you finish the stimulating task can cause that crash in dopamine.
So if you’re doing a task, it’s really motivated me to have a set thing after I’ve finished the task. For example, if I finish making a poster instead of going midway through for a snack or a drink plan to do it after I’ve finished my poster and doesn’t then sidetrack my progress halfway through and just reward at random.
Also another tip for working, I would create long ‘To Do lists’ to then do whatever job from that list and never finish the rest after the ‘fun’ one has been done. So instead of To Do List, do a To Do Right Now list, and write the current job at hand down and move on to writing the next after completing that!
So if anyone has any advice on how to approach like that drop in mood and flatness, please share! Also sorry all if I’ve worded my post bad, it’s sometimes hard to describe thoughts like this! 🥳 | 2021-12-07T10:32:34.000Z | raw8gk | 0 | 1 | ADHD | ADHD-I hacks? | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/raw8gk/adhdi_hacks/ |

Comfortable_Quote_31 | Hi.
From lack of knowing where to post this, I'm posting it here, if it gets removed thats fine.
So the first time I seeked an ADHD diagnosis I was 17, got through a Q&A, got a new appointment and forgot all about it, fast forward 7 years and I decide to try again, get told I can't get a reference to a psychiatrist because I've got a degree "which would be impossible if you have ADHD", despite me flunking the degree 1st time around and having been through 7 prior educations all flunked.
Fast forward another 3 years and I try again, get told "You can't have ADHD because you can focus while programming, people with ADHD can't focus" so I don't get a reference.
I've literally got a document from elementary that talks about how difficult things are for me, distractibility, forgetfullness, motor restlessness, inability to understand collective messages, bad at social relations, temperment, inability to get started on tasks, hard time with tasks that needs planning / organizing, and the list goes on, loads of these things are things I struggle with today in my adult life, sure to a different degree, but still a struggle.
Everytime I get refused a reference to an assessment, it makes me even more scared to seek help, because I feel horribly judged, and I feel like I'm not being heard, its not much better that when I finally talk to my GP, I tend to talk overly fast, mumble and forget the things I was supposed to say.
I've now changed my GP but am even more scared to go see my new one in fear of rejection or fucking up, how the hell do I get past this, and get to the point where I'll actually get a reference, I've been sure I have ADHD for half my life, I need to actually see if I have it! | 2021-12-07T09:47:34.000Z | ravkxg | 2 | 1 | ADHD | Crippling fear of seeking diagnosis | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/ravkxg/crippling_fear_of_seeking_diagnosis/ |
Active_Eye_7920 | I watched this movie like around a year ago and recently found out that I might have undiagnosed adhd. Looking back I find that the protagonist shows clear signs of the inattentive subtype. (Daydreaming, Inattentiveness, Hyperfixation, Impulsive Behavior, ...). I really identified myself within this character and find it interesting that that might be because we share the disorder. If you watched the movie I would really like to hear your take on this, if not I strongly recommend watching it. | 2021-12-07T09:35:50.000Z | ravewh | 1 | 3 | ADHD | Possible symptoms of adhd in "I lost my body" on Netflix #spoiler | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/ravewh/possible_symptoms_of_adhd_in_i_lost_my_body_on/ |
S_MacGuyver | I have long conversations with myself. I've found over the years that it's helped with my symptoms. Like, if I need to do something that I don't want to do, I always tell myself, "who fucking cares? Just do it". Then I'll start talking to inanimate objects like they're affecting my workflow (my MacBook has been dubbed 'The Fuckin Piece of Shit That Won't Work').
I just always found that my inner monologue is loud, so I might as well use it to be aware of how I am in every situation, but literally talking to myself out loud.
Everyone in my office is used to it now which is honestly hilarious. They'll even chime in like, "what's happened now?"

arandomblackdog | I was recently diagnosed with ADHD, but only started my medication yesterday. I was prescribed with two 5mg Ritalin for 4 days then two 10mg thereafter. I took the first 10 mg yesterday, felt some slight difference, but I wasn’t sure if it’s the placebo effects. I also didn’t experience any said side effects such as the loss of appetite or increased heart rate. I did feel some sort of numbness that weighed me down and that kinda helped with the concentration as well as the finger twitching. This morning was the second day, I took my 5mg as instructed but decided to do a bit of experiment, so I had another 5mg after like 30mins. Didn’t notice any change other than the numbness. Took another 5 mg this afternoon, but I was too busy battling with the idea of it being a placebo to trust what is happening on me.
So I’m having a few questions:
1. What are the chances of misdiagnosis?
2. What effects should I expect from taking the medication? If I don’t experience side effects, how should I know it is working?
3. What if Ritalin is just a placebo?
4. Will it work the same on non-ADHD people?
5. I continue to switch between tasks even after taking the pill. Does that mean the drug isn’t working?
I might sound a bit paranoid but I’m also struggling to convince myself I’m not faking my mental health issues so there is that.

Carthago88 | I‘m on “Medikinet Adult” which is produced by a German pharmaceutical company. I guess there is no direct equivalent for it in the U.S. but it contains Methylphenidate with 1/2 IR and 1/2 ER pellets. After half a year I feel that it’s not as effective for me with my adhd order as before. There is still the “kicking in” effect but it wears off relatively quickly even it’s meant to be working for more than 7 hours with my 30 mg dosage (60 mg is max. for adults while there are also 5 mg capsules for instance). The mechanism of action is different to concerta (which is also available in Germany) so the most similar thing in the U.S. might be Ritalin LA.
My question is:
Are here any people that switched from MPH to Vyvanse (and maybe also back) and could describe the “felt” differences between these meds? Is there the same kicking in effect? Is it more subtle? How do you notice that it works with your ADHD? What are sour experiences and what dosage do you take?
That would be very helpful for me as Vyvanse is available in Germany but it’s not that common and even often doctors don’t know about that. I guess that with ADHD and respective meds the U.S. are far ahead compared with Germany.

vortexmak | I've become more aware of the fact lately that the world around us is cripplingly chaotic and designed to be hell for ADD brains.
I'm not even talking about daily chores such as showering, cooking and cleaning.
I'm talking about mostly electronic media but also real life.
To start with the latter, things like renewing registrations, paying fines, paying bills is designed to be attention sucking.
I automated some of those but the govt required ones absolutely have to be done manually every time.
Another example is shopping for stuff you need, every single retailer wants your email and then starts spamming you or they'll suck your attention with rewards, rebates etc. Sure , I could choose to ignore them and I often do but the system is designed that you have to use them or you leave money on the table
Social media is the worst, ever single website, Facebook , etc just bombarding you with notifications, popups, ads, banners trying to leech your attention, things you don't really care about. They try to control every single aspect of what you see online and they have no respect for your preferences. They'll track you everywhere but won't let you set preferences for it to be less distracting.
You can't really stop visiting websites, but ad blockers help with the popups and banners. Social media here is the worst offender, especially facebook so why don't I leave facebook? I did but had to come back again to restart my social life because it's the primary way groups plan things or to buy and sell things online.
And every time I try to look up things that a group has posted, it's like a scene from a world war movie but instead of dodging bombs and bullets your dodging things on your news feed or short videos trying to snipe you.
The only exception of this, of the big sites is reddit, especially with a custom app.
Sure, it's addicting but it only shows you posts about topics you're interested in and you can sort them the way you want
I think there needs to be laws to allow you to opt out of being pushed recommendations to.
What do you think?
TL;DR cause of this sub: Everyone is trying to suck your attention with emails, notifications, posts and you can't opt out or takes too much effort every time | 2021-12-07T08:41:25.000Z | raun5q | 5 | 6 | ADHD | The world around us is chaos | 0.88 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/raun5q/the_world_around_us_is_chaos/ |

Elegant_Albatross_48 | Frens, does anyone know of a weekly planner that has weekdays on the right page and a BLANK PAGE on the left side?
I realised it would be perfect to have one like this but I have found zero options. I’m on the brink of learning bookbinding to make one myself haha, but I know it might come out quite ugly and I have to study for the finals too, God help me
If you know of a planner like that or maybe a place where you can design and order one like that, please do tell, you’ll save me so much stress :,) | 2021-12-07T08:38:21.000Z | raulng | 5 | 2 | ADHD | Looking for the Perfect Planner I imagined | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/raulng/looking_for_the_perfect_planner_i_imagined/ |
