AlterEgoSumMortis | On the one hand, I'm pretty confident that I have ADHD-PI. I have always had trouble staying focused, my mind constantly wanders when I find myself uninterested in the task at hand, and I'll often need to take extended breaks before returning to whatever it was that I was supposed to be doing. I'm considered intellectually gifted, yet I struggled in school because I just could not pay attention or complete my assignments on time. On top of that, I also have other common symptoms common to people with the condition: emotional dysregulation, rejection sensitive dysphoria (as it's called), hyperfocus, problems with sleep, etc.
The one symptom I do *not* have is a poor long-term memory.
I have an uncanny ability to recall things that most people forget about very quickly. I can remember old phone numbers that I haven't dialed in neary 20 years, the details of mundane conversations from many years past in exact detail, events that transpired which most people (with or without ADHD) have long since forgotten, etc. In short, while my working memory is notably impaired, my *long-term* memory is exceptional.
I've seen many posts here from others with ADHD who describe having a very poor memory of past events. They can't remember much of anything from their childhood or teen years, whereas I remember my youth *vividly*. Is this anomalous enough to cast doubt on whether or not I even have ADHD? Will this detail sabotage my ability to receive the treatment that I feel I need? | 2021-12-06T18:06:42.000Z | radjfl | 8 | 7 | ADHD | Is it unusual for someone with ADHD to have a good institutional memory? | 0.9 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/radjfl/is_it_unusual_for_someone_with_adhd_to_have_a/ |

Mission-Freedom9088 | I'm fairly overweight though active (BMI 35-36).
So I've been referred from a dietitian - 2016 to a counselor 2017-2019, to eventually 5 years later a psychiatrist and some time ago have been diagnosed as a 40-year old with undiagnosed ADHD and associated depression, anxiety, PTSD and Binge Eating Disorder.
I filled in the initial screener, barely getting enough positives, as I felt essentially that all those symptoms were just laziness on my behalf, as I had been told over and over again by my mother.
The resulting diagnosis was that I have ADHD. One symptom is that I'm completely unaware of binging from the fridge to kitchen or even the shop nearby to grab a snack.
I have started exercises that burn an extra 5000 calories per week and it's all I can manage with my schedule. I've been given meds Vyvanse which in all fairness I forget to take 2-3 times a week, I usually realize too late to then still take them and ensure I get sleep at night.
But usually I can tell that I've taken it in the afternoon because I'm far less restless and don't constantly get up to go to the toilet, kitchen, livingroom, etc. Usually it's around that time when I realize I have not taken it.
Now, so far I have converted a lot of body fat into muscle, as confirmed by my PT and body mass scale but have not lost any weight and based on my estimate on calorie counts. My PT think's this is quite common, given I still have a pretty high calorie intake.
My blood pressure is normal if not a tad bit low and my heart seems healthy.
However on my last tritration my psychiatrist now told me to stop taking Vyvanse as given my weight, it is 'not helping'. I'm still on a low dose (30mg) and I'm completely dumbstruck by the decision. | 2021-12-06T18:04:09.000Z | radh9o | 3 | 1 | ADHD | Diagnosed as adult, blood pressure is normal, but I'm obese and cannot get meds | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/radh9o/diagnosed_as_adult_blood_pressure_is_normal_but/ |
TheLonelyGorilla | It's been a rough couple of months leading up to getting diagnosed and the last 3 weeks of being on medication. I reached out to a friend and asked for help getting back to the gym and eating healthy. I was happy to get an immediate response and a yes. Started crying right after feeling relieved and sorry for myself at the same time then almost immediately started feeling guilty about it. Also going through a breakup after 9 years while still living together and figuring out how that's going to workout. I better press post before I delete this since I've already worked out your responses in my head or if I even need to post anything.

Chaoswalking3232 | So I’ve been waiting on a prior authorization for my Vyvanse for almost a week. Ny doc says she sent in the paperwork but insurance says otherwise. They never received anything. Nothing is moving forward And of course this is happening during finals. I don’t know what to do I can’t focus and I’m hardly retaining anything im studying. Is there any other way to get Vyvanse really cheap? I know there is no generic so full price is out of the question.

SnackPocket | So much or ADHD seems to be constant struggle between opposing behaviors and needs…
I’m an extrovert but need downtime or I will absolutely lose it.
I’m an open book but also completely secretive and protective of my environment.
I’m wired mentally but can sleep at any moment.
I’m not hungry but I compulsively eat.
I’m a people person until I’m very much not.

Solar-Blue | Hi adhd friends!
I find that over the past couple of weeks I’ve been neglecting work more and more, especially in the mornings (9-12) when none of my other teammates are awake (they work in a time zone 3 hours behind me). On the one hand, I’m glad that my new antidepressant is working but on the other hand it seems to have made it really hard to do things that have no dopamine payoff.
I like my job, and there are tasks I need to do, or practices I could do to get better at programming!

katchyhook | My boyfriend and I are in the process of moving to a new place. My boyfriend called me at my office this morning and asked for the key to our current house. He forgot his house key with his truck key, which is at the shop. He said all this to me over the phone, but I heard the word “key” and everything else just went in one ear and out the other. He got to my office and I handed him the keys to our new house. He calls me 15 minutes later and says the keys I gave him aren’t working. I don’t remember him saying anything about needing a key for our current place… The only thing I remember is the word “key”. Oops.

Money-Golf | I lost my Vyvanse last month literally like 1-2 days after getting it. I put it in a different spot than my usual place. I looked everywhere and couldn’t find it and I didn’t tell my doctor because I already know how the pharmacies and etc look crazy at anyone taking “controlled meds” so I just went 1 month without taking my Vyvanse.
And yes I’m a mess. Finally able to pick up my refill today, I could cry. This is my finals week too. So trying to focus on school, enrolling, friends, family, responsibilities, and keeping my emotions together has been EXHAUSTING 😭😭. Pretty sure I’ve been overthinking everyday of my life for 30 days while not being focused on what I should

RobotHandFuture | Hi everyone,
I'm a 22yo man just diagnosed with ADHD. My therapist is referring me to go get medicated luckily, but it's made me realize a lot and I just need to vent since I don't have many people in my life who know.
Part of the reason it wasn't caught is because I self medicated with cigarettes for years. I started smoking around 13 years old - yes, 13 - because I was coping with trauma. But it made me able to focus and do really well in school. I was in all of the accelerated classes, got high scores, etc. Just this year back in January, I quit smoking and wanted to quit for good, but my work performance dropped. I fought through it but would cry over how hard work was for me and felt so tired all the time because work was 8 hours of stress and anxiety. I recently got a new job about 5 months ago, and I thought I was doing well until I learned I wasn't being thorough enough, couldn't remember certain things I had to do, and had issues managing my time. I thought I was just lazy and low energy, and I got to a breaking point and started smoking again about a month ago.
Now that I've started smoking again, my work performance is insanely better, though I now feel guilty constantly for smoking. I hide it from everyone, especially people at work, but they're raving about how well I've been doing and even HR said my boss said I'm doing great. It makes me feel really sad. I'm hopeful about getting better once medicated but I really want to quit smoking again, I don't like doing it but it's the only thing that makes me a functional adult, at least until I get medicated.
And furthermore, I'm realizing that everything that I was bullied for were actually ADHD signs that were missed. I've always brushed these off as being a weird kid, and most people brushed them off too since I did well in school. When I was younger my mom wanted to get me tested but the doctor said "oh he's just smart" and didn't do anything. Now I feel like my life is in shambles. I can't go back to college because I'm so scared of the executive dysfunction that I had then being even worse now if I were to quit smoking again. I was lucky enough to kind of manage my symptoms then but I'm not confident in that anymore.
I'm just so frustrated. I want to be good at my job and he able to go back to college to do what I want to do instead of what I'm doing now, but I also want to quit smoking and not self medicate anymore. I'm not sure if I should tell HR about the diagnosis so maybe I could get some coaching on how to manage the symptoms until I get medicated, but I feel embarrassed doing that. Everyone's always seen me as this really capable adult until I quit smoking, and now I'm pretty sure my boss thinks I'm an idiot. I have no stress tolerance or time management skills and I've considered finding a different job, but I don't want to job hop anymore. I feel so lost.
On the flip side, I'm glad to finally have an answer on what I was struggling with for so long. I just don't want people to be mad at me for smoking again and I don't want to have to deal with myself having such trouble with work. I'm so burnt out.
Thanks for reading if you do. I'm really glad I finally have a place of support too. | 2021-12-06T17:48:40.000Z | rad3w3 | 4 | 1 | ADHD | Recently diagnosed, having some big realizations.

I’ve now been taking 60-120mg daily but I don’t know what I should say to my parents or my doctor, I think I need an increase just to get me through this semester but I don’t want them to think I’m abusing it now and put me on something else? | 2021-12-06T17:45:42.000Z | rad1ho | 4 | 2 | ADHD | Vyvanse and refills | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/rad1ho/vyvanse_and_refills/ |
Trigzzz1 | Hey everyone,
Curious to see if anyone experiences this like I do - I have so many stories from my childhood that I can remember in quite decent detail (obviously some things will be muddled but mostly makes sense) and everytime I bring one up to my family they look at me as if I’ve gone crazy and say that it didn’t happen, like even the most normal sounding stories apparently never happened or were extremely different to how I remembered it even though I remember multiple different details about the story. Has my brain just made all my memories up or something???😂

No-Geologist-8160 | I am a faculty member at a research intensive University. I also coordinate a professional graduate program and hold a university level faculty leadership position (no wonder I'm overwhelmed, you say!). I will be tenured this spring. I recently started the process for workplace accommodations. I would love to hear some recommendations for accommodations that you have that have helped.
Background:
I was diagnosed with ADHD in 2018 at age 36 (no one was surprised, my husband, then boyfriend nicknames me squirrel-fish within weeks of starting to date). On top of the auditory processing disorder I was diagnosed with at 18 (and have long since lost that paperwork).
Things I struggle with:
▫️The complete lack of systems in my department. Everything from student tracking to not having shared folders with forms and documents.
▫️ Resistance of using Outlook Calendar for everything because some people don't like it. This has gotten better. We now have calendar invites for department meetings and a department calendar. Individuals who I have discuss this with have actually been more than accommodating (I told our grad chair and she had a split second look of 'oh my god this explains so much' before she got it together and said, wow, you must find this all so frustrating).
▫️Lack of standardizing and routinization of work processes that happen regularly/annual. Like admissions. Why am I sending a doodle poll for an admissions meeting when that could just be scheduled in September? Whyyyyy???? I literally teach a systems level improvement class in which creating standard work processes is a foundational point.
▫️Our goddamned travel reimbursement system was designed by three naught monkeys in a trench coat and the business office sends things back over and over and over and then tells me I'm out of the 60 day windows to have my $200 conference fee reimbursed (I put it on my card instead of going to the office to have our secretary do it because the university's Covid precautions are a joke).
▫️Work overload. My boss is kind of ok when I say no. Like when he asked me to chair a search committee, while coordinating our EdD program and serving as a Faculty Senate Exec member (that's a three hour meeting every week). But he also seemed totally surprised I don't want another term and expected me to suggest a replacement (not my circus man, he makes twice what I do and personnel management is squarely in his job description not mine) and totally surprised that like all my other colleagues I plan to take the developmental leave to which I am entitled. This is also a university-wide problem due to hiring freezes and refusal to fully staff literally any unit on campus. But I'm so burnt out. | 2021-12-06T17:43:33.000Z | raczl3 | 4 | 1 | ADHD | Workplace accommodations suggestions please! | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/raczl3/workplace_accommodations_suggestions_please/ |

I am constantly distracting myself, keeping myself numb from reality. Tbh i don’t even live anymore, I am just passing my time. Slowly things have just gotten worse as time goes. I am in a deep breakdown since last 1 year.
Covid isolation screwed me up big time. I am already a shy person, and lack of social things have just worsened my mental health. Add to that most of my close friends moved out from the city, so I am lonely af rightnow.
I wasn’t always like this. I have a good degree and passed among the most difficult exams in my country with good marks. But due to covid shutdown all my adhd hacks/ systems collapsed.

Hot-Bowl-6853 | Hello to you all my disperse and usually highly intelligent fellows with ADHD. Sorry for the bad english, it's my second language and my first time posting on Reddit.
I was diagnosed with this beautiful disorder when I was 7, but didn't take any medication because my treatment at the time was routine-design based and back in the day there was a lot of prejudice with controlled meds. I grew up having routines for things that mattered (school, homework, swimming and music) but my parents understood the condition very well and it was a fairly free environment for experimenting on different hobbies and activities.
Back in 2018, when I was 27 and more responsabilities came over in my personal life (marriage) and professional career (corporate promotions) my symptoms got worse, so I started reading and investigating on my own for the first time and found out that I had been managing my life by juggling with these symptoms thinking they were long gone. I looked for professional medical help and landed with a Psychiatrist that prescribed me with methilphen (Tradea LP 20mg) daily and started creating a new routine-design treatment on my own (writting down everything, to do lists, depending on a physical agenda for due dates, etc). I also prscticed yoga daily and learnt to meditate. It all managed to control most of the symptoms for a while, and decided (with medical advice from my psychiatrist) that I could get off the medication a year after.
During this initial treatment life kept changing and I got divorced before the pandemic started (2019), quit my job by summer 2020 and decided to take a gap period to put my shit toghether.
10 monts later I found an amazing job at something I didn't have any experience with and moved out of my homecountry for it.
As you can expect from someone with our condition, juggling with the relocation, new job, new country and still processing my failed marriage, took a big toll on my mental state and I started feeling overwhelmed just like when I was 27.
3 months ago I looked for a psychiatrist in this new country and he understood everything since the first time I talked to him (super grateful for it). I got prescribed with Concerta 27mg, increasing the dose to 54mg two weeks after.
As you may tell this is much more of a higher dose than what I was used to and these are the things I've realized these past few months:
-I have a hard time sleeping and usually wake up in the middle of the night.
-I completely lose my appetite during the day, and have to force myself to eat at my usual hours (I set a reminder for it). Usually a high-protein breakfast makes the magic and I can eat healthier during the rest of the day as I don't have the "instinctive" feeling of overeating.
-If I didn't sleep enough, the meds causes anxiety spikes during the day and get a hard crash after 9pm.
-If I drink while on the pill I get drunk with one or two beers and have a hard time remembering stuff the day after.
-When I skip the meds during the weekends, usually because I know there's going to be alcohol involved, on Mondays that I go back to taking the pill, these anxiety spikes hit harder and last longer.
-Sometimes, even when I feel the meds kicking in, I still have a hard time concentrating and it takes a lot of brain power to force myself into doing my job. Music with noiseblock headphones work the best those days.
In my second session with the Psych I told him about all this stuff, except for skipping the pill on the weekends, and prescribed Bromazepam 1.5mg for "whenever I felt the anxiety being too unconfortable".
Have you ever experienced this anxiety spikes with Concerta?
Have you had trouble concentrating even with such a high dose in you body?
What do you usually do to get the anxiety off your system?
Should I ask for a change in my dose/meds the next session with the Doctor?
Any tips, suggestions or questions are more than welcome.
PD. I'm not a very active person and have a hard time doing excercise, but I think it might be the key to keep progressing through my tratment. I don't meditate anymore and haven't done yoga in a while. | 2021-12-06T17:20:04.000Z | racfcn | 3 | 2 | ADHD | Concerta 54mg causes Anxiety (Long Post) (M30) | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/racfcn/concerta_54mg_causes_anxiety_long_post_m30/ |
kitkatkween | I thought I was in love with my job, I'm a line cook who wants to be a chef. I've had a love for food and cooking since I was really little. You know how they say find your forever fixation and you will excel at your job. I thought I found mine after a year at culinary school I was like yes this is it. But, now I'm working in a kitchen and I'm just hit constantly by this low energy moments were all I want to do sleep or cry or really low depressive days that leave my brain feeling numb. The amount of stuff I forgot my chef told me just puts me in a funk. Were I feel like I lied to myself do I really want to do this? I'm I only making my mental health worse by pushing myself to do this? Just what if what you thought was your forever job ends up not filling the need? What if you already spent the time and money and worked in the field befor but now you feel unmotivated to keep going?

potatoman4000 | I've just learnt about rejection sensitivity in ADHD folks and I've had my first hand experiences with that. But this lead me to string of thoughts where I just keep digging up the past and seeing all the places where RS made me miss out on something.
Next thing you know, I start to get anxious, listening to music doesn't calm me down, fast music is too fast, slow music is too slow, I'm jumping from app to app, reading/watching things for about 10s before aborting.
It's like you're thinking about everything and nothing at the same time. You can't sustain a thought, or attention, but you also can't not think about nothing...

luisinretrograde | I've had a moderate to severe ADHD since elementary school(pacing, fidgeting, inattentive, the whole shebang), and so recently I started 150 mg of Wellbutrin HCL. The dose hasn't really set in yet since its been a week, and my physc has now prescribed me 50mg of Lovax to help with a yet to be diagnosed moderate OCD. I'm pretty apprehensive, because my energy is low generally, and the Wellbutrin has yet to really bring good results(I know, patience) so does anyone have or did have similar circumstances? My main concern is the sleepiness everyone talks about, but id also like to know if there's any other common things I should brace for / be aware of.
The Wellbutrin I'm on is the 12 hour slow release one, so id also like to hear experiences with that if possible lol. | 2021-12-06T17:12:31.000Z | rac8v8 | 5 | 1 | ADHD | Experiences with Luvox and Wellbutrin? | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/rac8v8/experiences_with_luvox_and_wellbutrin/ |
jonh1987 | Hello! ADHD’r here. I have to have a possibly contentious, tough conversation with a narcissist in my family. I am a very very emotional person who is easily manipulated. I’m aware of this.
Any tips or tricks for staying on topic, not getting TOO emotional & ultimately conveying my points clearly?
Would it be horrible to take notes in advance and read from that? Any advice appreciated.
Whenever I convey that they’re being hurtful in the midst of any past conversation, they remind me that they’re not responsible for my emotions. Which, they’re not. But then I lose ALL focus and basically just sob. I need to make this as productive as possible.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get a 90 (or even 60) day prescription in New York? The NP who has been prescribing for me says no, but... I don't know that I trust her to know, or to be honest with me (love that aspect of US Healthcare!).

THE_CLAWWWWWWWWW | Sorry might not make much sense and it's a strange growth of a rant.
I don't even know what to say to those around me anymore. Failure after failure after failure for 4 years. Losing every friend, watching my money burn and getting nothing but a burnt transcript in response, having 0 desire to "grow up" while watching those around me get jobs at google, apple, incredible startups, just having fun. I never knew whether to laugh or cry when I think about about how easy it was for me to help them to do well. When people came to me for help, and I could sit for hours until they understood before smiling, and laughing, and walking back to my room to spend hours trying to read the words on the screen for myself. Learning more about how to write apology letters - and make excuses (tbf I did have some good ones) to professors than anything else. Sometimes I would old shirts from programs I attended in high school - and people would stop me and ask me about it. I could see the strange confusion dawn in their faces when they asked me the types of the things I was doing now - and expecting more.
And now it's Year 5. I look around at the sophomores in my classes - who look and act just like my old friends. The only difference was that years had passed, well for everyone else. They weren't my friends, my friends were posting successes while I was still trying to find success where theirs began.
But at 5 year I finally thought I truly did it. I started getting medication, fixing bad habits, quitting escapist hobbies - starting off strong and early. I didn't mind the past as much because I finally felt like I could spend the present excited about the future.
But as always, one day, the wall came back. The wall that slowly gets tighter and tighter, pushing thought after thought out of my reach and leaving the ones left to bounce off the walls faster and faster. The wall that lets me see just over it - so I can see exactly what I want without ever being able to interact with it. So I can just stare at it, hoping it finds its way back. But as always, the only thing that came within reach was the one thought caught in that wall, finally hitting me in the back and stealing my attention. Of course I try so hard to throw it away, but the harder I throw, the harder it bounces, and the harder it hurts when it hits me next time it.
So it's year 5. I can't look my professors in the face, don't know how to explain to advisors why it's always next time. How next time became this time for a brief moment, how this time became last time before I could blink, and how last time is once again the dream for next time. | 2021-12-06T17:01:23.000Z | rabza2 | 1 | 2 | ADHD | Having finally reaching a good balance after years of struggling - I really thought, finally, this time would be different.

I like to eat pretty much right at 12 on work days. I finally was about to get off Reddit (*sigh*, yes I know) and open up Jimmy Johns to have them deliver for me. And then I realized….I fucking packed my lunch this morning! I do it so rarely that I forgot I have an entire lunchbox in the fridge right now. I’m either running too late, put it off, or don’t have the foresight to buy foods to take in my lunch/pack up leftovers the night before (because we all know I’m rushing in the morning no matter how early I get up before work).

farmStack | I was just diagnosed with ADHD in my late twenties, after seeing psychiatrists and therapists my whole life for “depression and anxiety”. And whaddah ya know, the depression and anxiety was being induced and exacerbated by ADHD all along, which I KNEW something was causing it, but didn’t possibly consider I had ADHD because I was always one of those “gifted children” that did well in grade school.
But then college came along. I almost dropped out a few times, and finally finished a mostly useless liberal arts degree in 6 years after starting out with a major in STEM.
I just couldn’t get my shit together. I was taking on way too much to compensate for the fact that I was only motivated enough to get things done when my schedule was filled to the brim and every deadline was an anxious rush.
People around me saw me falling apart, and any attempt by my family, friends, or doctors to get me to acknowledge that I was about to run myself into the ground made me unbelievably pissed. You want me to SLOW DOWN and RELAX in order to help myself?? Don’t you see I am only functioning because I don’t ever think about relaxing???
Then came the cortisol dysregulation. I was so sick for years, with tons of chronic pain and random illnesses.
I am kind of pissed tbh. If I had know about having/being ADHD, then I might have been able to understand what was happening before it was too late. And I can’t help but think if those stupid IQ tests didn’t show such high numbers to all the doctors, they would have actually considered I have/am ADHD earlier.
I am just looking for some people who have maybe had similar experiences and want to vent with me. I just got my “official” diagnosis a recently so I am still in the processing stage of considering my past with the knowledge I now have. Not that I am wallowing in regret, but I am for sure bound to repeat the same mistakes if I don’t take a critical look! | 2021-12-06T16:50:30.000Z | rabq0r | 95 | 225 | ADHD | “gifted” with ADHD - a recipe for burnout | 0.99 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/rabq0r/gifted_with_adhd_a_recipe_for_burnout/ |

xknfprtyx | hi y’all this is my first post here. i was diagnosed with ADHD 2 years ago, and i’m not currently medicated. i do smoke to deal with it, but often times i feel like the only one in a crowded room or just another grain of sand, but somehow i still don’t fit in. i feel so lost even though i may be doing the right things because i feel like everything is wrong. I find myself constantly getting upset at small things and letting that ruin my day. on top of all of that, I’m in love with someone i fear might never feel the same.
i feel like i might just be extremely stressed out. please help with advice for easing the mind and letting thoughts out. i’ve often turned to music but writing lyrics makes me feel worthless sometimes. I just overall feel like a fucking mess.
i think i’m just scared about the future and where i’ll be. I’m newly 22, living with a roommate and working +/-50 hours every week while playing in 3 bands. my dream in life is to tattoo in italy and live out a happy life somewhere. i just fear that my adhd and depression will lead me down a different road without help | 2021-12-06T16:48:35.000Z | rabofp | 2 | 1 | ADHD | feeling out of place while being in the moment (rant) | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/rabofp/feeling_out_of_place_while_being_in_the_moment/ |

lanede123 | Everyone knows the typical focus and hyper active problems but I’ve noticed and found from research that there are a lot more issues than just that. I haven’t seen much about the effects of trying to cope with adhd without medication.
For example I’ve noticed I choose not to talk much because if I do I won’t come up with the right words or lose track in the middle of sentences or I’ll cut ppl off unintentionally. I also choose not to sound smart when in actuality I am because I hate the inconsistency of not having a basic vocabulary some times. I also don’t eat out at restaurants because of the chaos that distracts me from what’s right in front of me. I recently had to end a relationship because my s/o didn’t like that I never wanted to play board games or card games or I didn’t like to have chill nights as much as he did. I didn’t know until he brought it up but I tend to avoid activities that require you to sit still and focus for long amounts of time and it clearly effected my relationship. Most of these habits cause a lot of anxiety and depression. I feel like I’m missing out on a lot just because I want to hide my adhd.
I’m sure there’s other examples of the effects of trying to cope with adhd without medication.

carbeean | Hello ADHD friends! I'm currently in treatment for my ADHD with a therapist and medication. I've experimented with both and I feel like I have found a pretty good fit for the time being. However, I have horrible anxiety (which I am also working on) that is of course exacerbated by the medication.
Although the meds help me to stay focused and make saying "no" to myself easier when I want to neglect my responsibilities, it feels like I still have a pretty low stress threshold, so when I have a lot to do (as I always do!) my brain kinda goes fuzzy and I have trouble with reading comprehension and retention as well as getting my thoughts out verbally. I haven't had this issue yet with my medicine but I've been going through an extremely stressful period of my life where I am constantly busy and anxious.
I had gotten better about procrastination as well, but now that I'm stressed I've been purposefully procrastinating so I'd be forced to get things done, but now my brain is fuzzy and I can't get it done anyway! I have a final due in 45 minutes and I'm procrastinating finishing it because trying to comprehend the reading and write responses in my own words is becoming anxiety inducing and physically painful.
I'm unsure of what to do at this point. I've been trying everything I can to cope and gently coax my brain to work somehow, but to no avail. Please let me know if anyone else has experienced this and you have any potential solutions. Thank you friends <3
edit: PS. wish me luck on this assignment that I just ~~wasted~~ *utilized* time writing this instead of doing!
**TL;DR: At a good dosage of meds, but anxiety (both general and from meds) make my brain fuzzy and critical thinking and comprehension physically and emotionally painful.

athaliah | My son just finished his first month of medication. He says it helps him with reading, schoolwork, and typing (in Minecraft/Roblox) and he wants to continue taking it. His dad thinks he's too young to know what he's talking about and is only saying that stuff because he's heard other people talking about it. His dad does not think the medication changed anything at all about his behavior, I disagree.
He has a doctor appointment today so we're going to get the doctor's opinion of course but I am curious to hear from those who took ADHD medication as children - could you tell it was working? Should we listen to him?

RobinArchitecture | What do I do right now? I want to work on some architecture renderings. I CAN'T. Why? Because there's no point in working on them since;
1. I'm starting a new job tomorrow.
2. It won't help me get a job in my field since none of my other renders have helped me get a job.
3. "Architecture firms don't want to see renderings they want to see your technical skill" Yea I know that and I DO show my technical skill but a client doesn't want to see the technical stuff.
4. I'm moving 8 hours away in April for school so it doesn't matter if I do get a job, I'll have to move away anyway.
So what should I do today instead? Chores? No they're done. Video games? No that's not productive, I don't feel like it. Watch a show? Same thing.
I hate this. Why do I HAVE to do something productive. Why do I have to feel like garbage if I'm not working on something or getting something accomplished. | 2021-12-06T16:12:50.000Z | raauma | 1 | 2 | ADHD | DAMMIT!

Dawenlif | Im 21 years old and since i started to take medication a few months ago (atomoxrtine aka strattera) (iapparently i have a mild version of ADHD not the whole syndrome) i was espectig to solve all my simptoms including my apparent dificulty to sometimes not undestand logical relations, the inteligence by definition, or at leas the academic intelligence or cleverness, but the result was just have a better focus capcaity and less necesity of constant estimulation (hyperactiviy) but im still being dumb. This is so sad.
Did some of you become more smart after taking madication or no?

Jilly220 | I'm wondering if I made a mistake when I told my doctor I would like to be on 3 15 mg Adderall ir instead of 1 30 XR and 2 10 ir a day. I was going with the fact that each pill XR and ir lasts me 3 hours so do 15 ir 3x a day. it's the closest to the same amount of milligrams I was taking but with taking the same pill three times a day, but what I didn't know is that some people are on different dosage irs through out the day should I really of asked for 1 20 and 2 15s what do you think. Now Anxiety because I don't know if she would have done something different if I didn't suggest anything.

DerpHog | I'm still struggling so hard with working from home, it's a good work day when I answer an email and look at my tasks once. I can only seem to work in small bursts of activity. Many days of the week I don't get one single thing done at work.
How is it possible that I have been doing this for 2 years now and I'm only slightly behind my (as far as I know) neurotypical peers who apparently are able to work 8 hours a day?
I do think they have heavier workloads than I do, but they have easy stuff that goes unfinished for weeks just like I do. If I were in an office where I can focus I would have had all 2 years of work done in 3 months or less.

pokemoncrossingww | I’ve been taking Adderall since about the start of 2021, though instead of daily I take it as needed and will go several days/weeks/months without using it to save up for big homework and projects. (Part of this is because I’ve put off finding a prescriber for so long so I save up) I’ve always been pretty diligent since childhood about getting regular assignments done, and I’m sure that’s why it’s taken so long for me to get my diagnosis, because I can generally power through at the very very last minute and slap something down. My dad and brother have very stereotypical ADHD traits and I suspect I inherited it from them.
Anyways, everything I’m seeing online says that if you have ADD and take adderall, you won’t become more hyperactive but instead have your mood stabilize. But in my experience I just end up feeling more intense and more fidgety from the whole thing. (My theory is that, because I have anxiety, I’m wondering if there is a placebo effect hyping up the rare moments I do take the medication. I can’t tell exactly *when* Adderall wears off, but I know that it’s for a limited amount of time, which makes me more anxious to get things done)
I’m currently on 10mg, which is not enough to make me want to get up and do things unprompted — I think it’s best if I’m working when I take it, which I never want to do, so I always put off taking my ADD medication, ironically.
I’m pretty sure my new prescriber is skeptical because I’ve told her about the jitteriness. But the thing is, the medication actually helps with doing things I’d put off otherwise. So much of my behavior makes sense when you ascribe it to adult ADD. I just don’t know why I’m having that reaction. | 2021-12-06T15:57:03.000Z | raah0p | 3 | 1 | ADHD | Adderall jitteriness and ADD possible? | 0.99 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/raah0p/adderall_jitteriness_and_add_possible/ |

MiniDialga119 | For around 8 months i've noticed that i can't really feel my emotions or at least not as much as before and with that i've also noticed that my adhd has calmed down a lot for about the same time
Has this happened to anyone? cus i feel like it mat have to do with adhd
My psychologist has also told me it may be my body defending me from stress but because i can barely feel my emotions its confusing so im asking here to discard possibilities and try to find out what is happening and if i can fix it
Any ideas or comments even if you haven't experienced the same thing are welcomed

Affectionate_Dark945 |
As mentioned by the title,I keep making dumb mistakes at work,and my question is if it’s because of my adhd or am I just dumb.I am in my 20s and I got diagnosed with adhd last year,and I am currently on concerta (atm I’m at 36mg,still trying out different dosages).I work as a mechanic (apprentice),and while I do get that when u are learning a new trade,mistakes are going to happen,the problem is that I make way more mistakes than others of my same level ,and usually they are dumb mistakes.Like my boss could be teaching me a job,and I would listen and pay attention to all the steps,but when it comes to do it,I would forget a step and fuck it up,or I would just start questioning my memory of the steps,and get anxious about messing up,which would lead me to annoy my coworkers for reassurance.sometimes I just make the dumbest mistakes over some basic stuff that I have done a few times,just because I either didn’t notice or forgot something.I also easily freak out when I take too long on A job,or when I make a mistake,and that’s also leads to me annoying my coworkers for help,due to the feeling of my brain just shutting down.I’ve been told that I just don’t pay attention or I’m not interested enough,and while I admit I’m not in love with my job,I also don’t mind it,and I do always try my best.I’m not the smartest guy out there, through high school I felt less intellingent and knowledgeable than my peers,not just in term of studies,but also basic knowledge and shit.But I never failed any class,and made it out as an average student . So at this point I don’t know if it’s cause my adhd or it’s just plain stupidity,so i thought to ask if anyone else dealt with the same shit,and if they did,how they dealt with it.(Im also considering a career change at this point,because at this rate it will take me forever to learn the job,so lmk if u have any suggestions on a career)

eelishguy321 | How does Adderall XR compare to Vyvanse? Do they feel the same? Are they both therapeutic for ADHD? If somebody has been on Vyvanse for a long period of time and it is losing effectiveness, does it make sense for him to switch to Adderall XR?
Or should he stay on the Vyvanse and take an IR booster? | 2021-12-06T15:46:22.000Z | raa87l | 15 | 3 | ADHD | How does Adderall XR compare to Vyvanse? | 0.81 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/raa87l/how_does_adderall_xr_compare_to_vyvanse/ |
_UnreliableNarrator_ | Maybe this is just what happens to everyone when they reach to about my age (36), but I was just reading a post on here about memory issues and thought I’d share this new fear I’ve developed 😅
Because through trauma and adhd huge parts of my past are a blur, and because it seems like I blink and two weeks have passed, I’ve been trying (when I remember) to live more mindfully like I think it will slow down time.

WBoyMike | Hi all, not to diagnose myself, but I am 28 years old and have suffered from (what I think is ADD) for my whole life.
It went largely unnoticed by my parents and teachers as I was always able to scrape by without failing classes etc.
Long story short, I got a big promotion at work and I feel like it’s really holding me back at work. I’ll spare you all from the long winded details, but I’ve been putting this off for years due to the fact that I didn’t want to take any medication for my issue.
I’ve finally given in, and reached out to my doctor and I have my first consultation on the 12th.
I guess I just wanted to hear some success stories of people who were deeply struggling with focus and all the other pitfalls that come with Add/ADHD and then were able to turn it around.

Theunknownkadath | Folks, somehow when I first encountered this community I did not see the links in the sidebar titled "New to ADHD?" when u go to r/ADHD.
The third one is very good.
The article is detailed, scientific and long. It doesn't sum things up in a paragraph. It requires you to read it. However, I went to the specific sections that were interesting to me and it really was enlightening.
I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid, but now I'm not sure I even have ADHD after reading it.
In any case, I just wanted to recommend everyone who hasn't read it yet to do so. It was eye opening for me.

human_apparently | Hey guys, I’m not sure if any of you can relate to this. My flatmates started being weird lately, there’s is one flatmate that is always super messy and all but i made a mess twice and they started picking on it. But only when there is no denying that it was me. I’m under extreme stress at work so left a mess half way cleaned because work called, flatmate walked in and of course sent a message that she’s upset. I’m like, girl you can see I was in the middle of tidying up! Then the other starts sending shitty reminders but when they have a party and are loud and leave crap it’s all good… honestly but I have no idea if I’m overreacting or maybe they are right?

ivysenpaii | Hey guys, so I’ve been taking Setraline for a while now for my anxiety, depressive symptoms, and PMDD, but it hasn’t been working well for any of those things except for my PMDD tbh. However, that is still enough for me to want to continue taking it as PMDD is a nightmare to deal with. The issue is, I would also like to start taking medication for both my bipolar and adhd as they’re really affecting my college work, but I’ve read online that these medications can interact negatively and I’m afraid that it won’t be possible to treat all three disorders at the same time. I’m just wondering if anyone has experience with all three disorders and whether or not you’ve has success with being treated for them all. Would a psychiatrist even be willing to prescribe medication for all three disorders at the same time? Would that even be safe and effective? I’m afraid to bring this up with a psychiatrist because I’m afraid they’ll tell me they can’t help me. If you could provide your experiences and what combo of medications worked for you, I would greatly appreciate it! I really don’t want to mess up a second time in college as I’ve really enjoyed being back and having a purpose again, but these disorders are making it really hard to stay focused/motivated.

anonRexus | I was just a little child when I got the diagnosis, therefore I don't know much about ADHD in general, respectively what are common traits. With this post, I'd like to seek advice about a few personal character flaws. Maybe you can help me determine if they are because of my ADHD.
*For your interest (and regarding Rule IV) I plan to visit a doctor, I just want to be prepared.*
**Are OCDs common with ADHD?**
I'm kind of obsessed with perfection but not in a normal and healthy way. Especially when I'm working digitally, everything has to be perfect. Pixel perfect. In contradiction, my "offline space" sometimes looks really messy. There are other tics as well, but I learned to live with them.
**The last time I started a personal project was ... ?**
It bothers me to admit, but I can't even remember when I started my last personal project. Useless to say, that I've never finished it. My head is full of creative ideas and I fantasize doing them, but as soon as I could start, I begin procrastinating and never do anything at all.
**According to my friends, I'm a heavy daydreamer.**
My friends often tell me, that I live in my own world. I frequently start a topic out of the blue or zone out during (interesting) conversations. I once had a job interview where I lost the thread. Lucky for me, the interviewer didn't notice anything, but I had to ask "carefully" to repeat, what he said. That's one of my coping strategies, to let people summarize what they said.
**I've a keen eye for minor details.**
I'm often surprised about myself but I tend to notice minor details faster (or at all) than others.
**I rely heavily on lists and notes.**
It's not that I forget everything (I even tend to remember the most useless things), but I rely heavily on lists and notes, otherwise my daily life would hardly be possible. A major problem is, I don't have a common place for them, I just use scrap paper, and often I never find it again.
These are just a few (but IMHO the biggest) flaws / traits I have. Do you have similar experiences? | 2021-12-06T15:27:03.000Z | ra9s9f | 1 | 2 | ADHD | A few questions regarding ADHD | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/ra9s9f/a_few_questions_regarding_adhd/ |
bunnehroo | I am medicated with concerta, though you wouldn’t know it…
I spent a whole work day, at the office, looking for song based on a spoken word lyric I could not remember correctly.
I have a music library of more than 130,000 tracks.
Through some ADHD fuelled rapid song listening, I went through about 2000 songs to finally find the one I was looking for.
I repeatedly told myself to stop and do my work. I tried my usual circuit breaker techniques.
I have a big event on Thursday that I am solely responsible for and cannot be done last minute, though I have been avoiding for weeks.
I have my annual review on Friday.
The satisfaction of finally finding the track was sadly marred by knowing that I wasted this day, like so many others.
I guess now I finally do thirty minutes of work? | 2021-12-06T15:25:40.000Z | ra9r5p | 7 | 12 | ADHD | Spent a whole day at work looking for a song i couldn’t remember… | 1 | https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/ra9r5p/spent_a_whole_day_at_work_looking_for_a_song_i/ |
eggsistentialbread | i don’t know if a lot of adhd people experience this but any kind of stimulant, caffeine included, makes me super sleepy. the stronger the stimulant, the sleepier i get. i went off my meds (with my dr’s knowledge) because i was always either asleep or fighting for my life to stay awake at work. i had no life and was miserable. now i’m off meds but it bums me out that other people could have a cup of coffee for an energy boost while i don’t have that option. i’m already pretty tired to begin with and adding caffeine would make things worse. sorry for writing a long rant over a dumb topic like this one but i wish there was a way to not always be so physically and mentally drained, no matter how well rested i am

Irish980 | Hey all, This sub has been great for me. My BFF of 30+ years has ADHD (it's getting worse) and is under and doctor's care. She's working on it. We talk a lot about it and reading some of your posts has helped fill in some blanks and given me some new perspectives. I took some advice here and started using positive feedback. She actually committed time to play Minecraft. Yes, she even has a hard time committing to something she loves. You bet I told her I was proud of her for that. So, thanks all!
Discloser-she is completely on board with gifts that will help her ADHD.
A little more info if needed. She lacks motivation when it comes to things her mind says are a chore. IE: Shower (it takes time and doesn't like the way the water feels when drying on her skin) She does shower but puts it off until it's super late and has to work in the AM. Actually, anything that she HAS to commit time to. She has a hard time waking up partly because of it. It's easier to sit on her couch and dink around on her phone (because in her mind, there is no pressure or commitment of something she HAS to do) until the very last min.
Any good towels I should look into? Something that is really absorbent AND feels nice on the skin? I saw a thread that mentioned a Sunrise Alarm clock. Does anyone have luck with those? I'm open to just about anything she might enjoy or that makes her day a little easier. I thought about gifting her a cleaning service to try. She cleans but she needs external motivation to help or again, waits until she HAS to. Like when she has company coming over. She has a weighted blanket already.
I've read over tons of "gifts for people with ADHD" and nothing seems to fit. I'm also looking at this from someone who doesn't have ADHD either. I plan on being a lurker here for a long time to come. Your insights thus far have helped a ton. I know it's frustrating for her but I think sometimes people forget that friends and family also feel that too. This sub has helped me deal with some of that. You don't have a friend for 30+ years without give and take.

_algae_man_ | I am currently -half way through the final school year in highschooland I have a grade that is unacceptable in math. Which basically means i cannot participate in advanced finals and in effect significantly lower chances of enrolling in any good college. I have been assessed as having adhd but not diagnosed and the next time I'm seeing a psychiatrist is mid-January. My finals are in april/may and i have to get an acceptable grade in math till the end of January. As it stands i find it impossible to study math. My ADHD makes me put it off to begin with and then if i eventually do study it makes sure I don't do any good work. I can study 4 days for 4 hours and not pass a seemingly simple test. In addition to that i have been dealing with some shit for years and have recently gone through a breakup which all makes it so l have to constantly stop whatever I'm doing and calm myself/ find a way of coping. Everyone is doing ok in math and i have personally been pretty alright until this year where the difficulty of classes has risen significantly. So in summary. The only possible solution i can see is getting meds (if i do get diagnosed in a country where Adhd is pretty largely underdignosed in people my age)and NPCing out for 3 months and somehow getting to an acceptable level and somehow managing to correct most of my grades and pass new tests until the end of the semester. The little fun bonus is that if I don't pass this grade i will have to redo 2 years instead of 1 because my countries school system is undergoing a significant reform and I'm part of the last generation to be part of the old system. I'm fucced. That's what it is. One of my parents is incredibly dissapointed in me(rightfully so) and the other tries to be supportive but doesn't fully understand adhd, besides l'm not officially diagnosed anyway. Anything I could do to save myself?. Anything.
