has it stopped ur burnout cycles or helped w them



you know where you feel great so you start school/work n get ten hobbies because youre doing great and then you start missing deadlines and self medicate like crazy and start feeling shame and distance yourself from everyone and snort a shitton of copium and then shut down unable to do anything and feel like shit and quit everything and feel like youre worthless? that kinda deal

no it hasn't stopped burnout cycles but it's helped with the anxiety that makes burnout worse.

I will say, I take multiple meds for ADHD symptoms (vyvanse, wellbutrin xl, and trazodone to sleep)
and THE MOST HELPFUL THING I've taken for my ADHD, that has given me the most relief from cycles of burnout (even though they still happen) has been a combined birth control that only gives you a period once every 3 months, hormonal cycles are BRUTAL for folks who have ADHD.

I guess my burnout just looks different, too, because I have a lot of chronic pain, so I'll always have burnout.
The most helpful thing for me has been finding why I was burning out and trying to change that - so working in the service industry was definitely contributing, so even though I still experience burnout, it's less frequent, and less severe, now that I don't work in the service industry (well, not in the same way, and not as much, at least)

i have a hard time of gaging that bcs of horrible sense of time and i cant seem to notice slow changes (unless theyre super obvious). ive been kinda scared to try birth control cuz i dont wanna risk bleeding for six months straight or worse cramps than i already got

If you're bleeding and in pain like that, you call the doc and they'll either stop the bc or help you choose another one based on the symptoms.
and 46% of women with ADHD have PMDD, which for me looked a lot like meltdowns, burnout, emotional outbursts, it literally got me fired from jobs. 

no one knows your body as well as you do, but I just like to share this because until they put me on Seasonale, my ADHD meds were barely useful.

i think it does yeah. im very bad at noticing how i feel and any changes in mood, but i do think that after having started the medication i have less intense mood swings and the frequency of negative moods has gone down as well. it's not a very noticeable difference, its just like i feel more "neutral/normal" more often than before. im just a bit more chill now

i definitely get sleep issues pre menstruation but nothing to the levels of a disorder (luckily)
no im interested, i like looking into adhd traits especially the rarely researched type. u never rly know if you find something that applies to you or ppl u know

Pretty sure the correlation between ADHD symptoms and menstrual cycles was only (officially) "discovered" less than 2 years ago. 
Or at least that's as far back as I've seen it written about.
