My recommendation is a small thing: a trashcan with a swinging lid!...

I’m so tired the caffeine no longer effects me. My ADHD issues are worse. It’s effecting work. I’m getting to work waiting to clock in and sleeping in the parking lot....

I’ve realised this is something I drastically need to implement into my life. I’ve had minor successes with meditation in the past but it never really sticks. I’m not great at sitting still and I also have back issues so struggle to sit up straight for long periods....

Just a sanity check here but… yall ever been mid conversation with someone and confused that they’ve forgotten a thing you talked about… until you realize that previous conversation took place entirely in your head?

Hey, does anybody know/has sources in the effects of Medikinet on Neurotypicals? I want to compare this with my own experience taking it. Thank you!

I was formally diagnosed with ADHD in February, so am still very much finding my way, with medication helping a lot with my work life. However, my first child was born near the tail end of last year and boy did I not expect how debilitating things would be. I love being a dad, I love my kid so much it hurts, but any time I’m...

Hi everyone,...

God I am miserable. I am in charge of managing some several thousand video recordings as well as making sure my notes on them are accurate (date time and number of clips)....

I know it’s common we ADHD peeps tend to be constantly switching docs/psychs. I have been on SSRIs for more than 10 years now and don’t know if my issues are due to untreated ADHD....

I have ADHD and my partner does not. When we were planning our wedding it was really difficult because she would do most of the planning (because I wasn’t doing it and someone had to and she loves planning), but when we needed to plan anything together it was like pulling teeth for me. I wanted to help out but it was always so...

Okay, so this is weird....

Hi. I have been wondering how to get an assessment for neurodivergence as I seem to struggle with some day-to-day things. I seem to relate to a lot of memes from the adhd and autism communities. I also seem to have a good amount of traits that overlap with autism and adhd....

I just started meds for the first time (Focalin XR). I’m on day 2 and it has been great so far as while I am on them I can actually choose what I want to focus on....

I understand that I have to relax every now and then, however I am really struggling with it, being constantly in an endless loop of:...

This week mine was homemade soda. Fermented sodas, citric acid + bicarbonate sodas, different juices and flavors like lime + lemon + cherry and pomegranate or mango peach or cola (homemade knock off)

I’ve only just recently commenced medication and I’m finding the benefits a little noticeable. The real test will be returning to work soon after some leave....

Is it generally considered a bad idea to share with others that you have been diagnosed with ADHD? How have others handled sharing diagnosis information with friends, family, work, etc?

This is primarily talking about state dependence with ADHD medication (stimulants)....

I’ve been on Focalin for about 2 months now and I’ve noticed over the last couple weeks I frequently have a weird internal tremor/vibration sensation inside my entire body when I first wake up. It’s a sensation sort of like shivering but very subtle, without any actual physical tremor or muscle movement as far as I can...

I’m in tech and working with a guy on a very small project, but I’m definitely not able to make ends meet (thankfully family & friends have pulled me out several months lately). I’ve also been looking for a stop-gap job until I find a tech company that actually knows how to hire. But even that seems to be really difficult....

drops in at local pharmacy...

It’s my 3rd attempt at writing this so forgive me for being disorganized. I’ll try to keep it short....

I’ve been using the free version of Cold Turkey blocker on my Mac for a while now, but it doesn’t offer an iOS/iPad app, so there’s nothing to stop me from just picking up my phone to fuck about online when I should be working, so I’m not keen on spending £30 on the full app....

I already go frequently to therapy and take SSRIs (for over 10 years now). I guess they kinda help as antidepressants, but anxiety wise I haven’t had any luck if it’s not Benzos or Weed (but weed creates money anxiety on the comedown)...

Compared to other killers from a public health standpoint, ADHD is bad. Smoking, for example, reduces life expectancy by 2.4 years, and if you smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day you’re down about 6.5 years. For diabetes and obesity it’s a couple of years. For elevated blood cholesterol, it’s 9 months. ADHD is worse than...
