Often I end up closing the list and immediately turning to self-soothing. And because there’s no way to know in advance if a task on the list will give me anxiety, this often results in my list being not just unusable but unreadable, preventing me from doing or even remembering the non-anxiety tasks on the same list.

I’ve been diagnosed by my former therapist but I feel things are getting worse these days....

It took ~5 minutes and there was ZERO pain....

I need some help when it comes to clearing out, organising and sorting my stuff....

I dont mean depression or anxiety (this feels different), I mean feeling like you never really recharge, like youve never gotten time off ever. Which I think is partly due to a tendency to put literally 100% into something until you feel fried, move on to the next thing rinse repeat. Even “down time” doesnt really feel like...

I appreciate the fact that some employers recognize that some of their employees struggle with cognitive disorders. But, asking someone with ADHD to click through a very boring presentation about neurodiversity is almost peak irony. Not to mention, trying to distill such complex disorders down to one sentence is practically...

Exercise is hitting. My brain gives up way before my body does. Even when I try and listen to music or watch shows while exercising, I just can’t keep at it....

Started reading this book by an ADHDer YouTuber I’ve been watching, and I think it’s really good so far. Only stop reading at page 42 cuz my wife turned off the lights for bed....

I’ve been taking 70 mg Vyvanse for years. It generally works well. Although there are occasional days where I feel like maybe it’s not quite as effective as it should be. That probably has more to do with outside stressors and diet than anything. By this point I’ve built up some tolerance to it. I know a lot of other...

Some call it simple...

I’ll be honest, I feel like Dexedrine is the best and its also cool to have such an obscure med aha. Why did you settle wherever you did and share your thoughts on the comparative basis

After years of suspecting ADHD (and two decades of struggling), I decided that maybe I have ADHD. While I wait for an answer from the psychologists, I decided to take an online ADHD self-diagnosis questionnaire out of curiosity....

I’ve experienced burnout throughout work and education since I was sixteen. Usually around once every 12-18 months. I’ve accrued a lot of associated trauma....

A little into about me. I’m in my mid-forties, I live in Ohio, USA, and am on Medicaid. I suspect I have either ADD or ADHD but I can’t get diagnostic testing covered by Medicaid. What can I do to get testing or treatment? There are lots of “in-network” providers, but every time I get the focus to try and make an...

I was introduced to the potential for ADHD as an adult, and now at 33 I have my official diagnosis! Severe ADHD / Innatentive Presentation I’ve never been relived to get a diagnosis of severe anything before, but I feel like I can finally feel sure about why I’ve struggled with these symptoms for so much of my life. Now I...
