great to have options and to plan for the future! I wish u the best of luck!

Thanks for sharing with me I needed to chat with people more. I talked to my brother in law but he’s been diagnosed since childhood so our experiences aren’t entirely comparable.

yeah it really helps to talk with ppl in similar situations! my partner has also been diagnosed since childhood and is a man vs me who got diagnosed when I was about 20 and im a female so that's also kinda incomparable.

Yes yes

that's at least a sign that it has some kinda effect? even if its not the desirable effect just yet?

I hope so I guess? Idk it’s not enough. I’m tryna get enough focus to drive a car without crashing it and I’m not there at all.

yeah I feel u, I lost my license for a while when it was worst, got it back now tho!
have u had the opportunity to see an occupational therapist?

This is all super new to me I got diagnosed in December by a psychologist and had to meet a new psychiatrist and I just did that on Monday lmfao. I don’t know how occupational therapy is for. She said I should have had PHYSICAL THERAPY when I was kid and couldn’t skip and got kicked out of balet class

well not exactly adderall lol, one of the first meds i tried was elvanse with the same substance.
It really didn't do anything for me, so we upped the dosage, but in the end when it started to work for me the side effects were too strong i had to change

Starting meds really is an annoying af trial and error process, but it's def worth it in the end when u find the right one

Thank you. Man it’s like I was so scared it was gonna make me high lol I didn’t consider “doesn’t do anything except make u dehydrated” as a possibility.

or idk maybe I am focusing better just not like a lot but when I come down from it I lose focus

idk I wanted that euphoric brain calm thing a lot of people talk about. Like my brain doesn’t shut up I have like hyperactive thinking and it’s exhausting.

I dont think i ever had the euphoric calm brain moment. or at least it doesnt last that long.
for me it was more the relief and realization "omg I can actually Try to study, i can listen to this person who is talking, and i Can do the dishes"

But that exhausting hyperactive thinking, yeah thats still there, not to the same extent, but its there alright

what i notice that the meds actually do for me is like, I can actually do a daily task. I CAn read a text, I can get out of bed and I do remember to eat
without it.. Im just an exhausted pile of nothing lying in bed staring at nothing all day

So like the executive dysfunction it sounds like is really helped with the meds. I need that. I wanted my brain to shut the fuck up but what I really NEED is that executive functions.

yeye, and like obviously there's bad and good days, and thats frustrating af, when youre aware of everything and the brain feels "clean" but still cant manage to do that one thing.

im not gonna lie, I was diagnosed 6 years ago. and it isnt until now (well late last year really) That I started to "accept" it? and actually learn about what struggles come from adhd, I Never knew executive dysfunction was a thing. for years i really thought my only problem was, not being able to read a fucking text and understand what im reading lol I thought that was all there was to it

so mix that thinking and adhd with being overly ambitious, and bam you have a wall <3 and you have no understanding where it comes from hah
dont do that, dont be like me pretending to be "normal" that just hurt me mentally even more

Idk what im talking about anymore
but yes. knowing about adhd, watching adhd tips videos is my greatest help atm, im trying so much new stuff just to make my life function

dunno the meds I got worked like at least a month after the thing and I was still a teenager at that time? but then again it was like not that good, upping the dose too much made me a walking zombie,
so I had to switch and match like a few times and it has been like that with other problems of mine as well,
though I'm more drug-resistant I'd say but yeah, they take time
and maybe this one is not the one, so sadly patience is needed with those processes until you get the effect you want I'd say

I remember trying Ritalin and Concerta and I loved Concerta because it reminds me of a concert lol
there were others but sadly as I have a long history of meds I don't remember em all lmao (not just adhd medication)
