adhd

Hi all, my name is G, a soon-to-be 20-year-old who’s been battling the chaos in my mind since, well, as long as I can remember myself really, but it really all starts at 16 - the wonderful yet horrific time where you become more conscious and aware than ever. I’ve managed to thread together the fragments of my journey,...

Adderall 2 days in a row now makes me paranoid, and I’ve never really been able to get a doc to prescribe vyvance or anything else, and frankly at this point, I’m afraid to do stimulants. Strattera made me feel weird....

My 14 year old brother is really aggressive at times but it is visible that all of his aggression come from how hyperactive he is, and impulsive. He always wants things done immediately, and his aggression has been seriously problematic for all of us. He can’t sit still for once and has to be stimulated, he likes it through...

I've seen some sources say that too high or low of pH levels can impact how well a stimulant is absorbed into your system. It seems the biggest source in regular diets, especially American diets, is citric acid. I enjoy many citric heavy juices, and also drink a lot of soda. Do you guys watch your citric acid intake about an...

A short excerpt of HealthyGamerGG's Dr K discussing the effect of the mesolimbic dopamine pathway overshadowing the mesocortical as a consequence of prolonged exposition to addictive substances or activities. Twitch chat seems to relate.

I'm posting this simply because I didn't have any other place to post it, and I'm hoping I'll get some sort of cathartic relief by doing so....

For those of you in the US, how's the Adderall shortage going? I'm going to ask my psych to switch over to it because my insurance is driving the price of Focalin through the roof. I want to get an idea if its even feasible right now.

I'm a little confused, I know based on my whole life experiences that I do indeed have ADHD; but I don't know how I should tell my doctor about it? I mean, it's disrespectful and yet probably would think I want drugs or something. A little help? Thanks.

found a way to solve my issue by practicing meditation via n-back client, I will hopefully write down the details in my brain training sub soon

So was curious if this was unique to me, or is a universal experience. As soon as I start thinking about taking my medication in the morning, my heart starts racing before I've even taken the bottle out of the cupboard. Then I take it and my heart continues to race for about 45 to 60 minutes before it calms down. It doesn't...

Doing this allows you to actually free yourself from planned distractions of certain websites, which is designed to pull in as much as attention as possible...

One of the biggest things holding me back from leaving Reddit, despite the fact I hate the way they are handling, well, everything, is the sense of community with people sharing similar experiences as me, as well as sharing my hobbies. It's nice to be able to look at things other people made in a hobby you're interested in, but...

I’m new to lemmy and I’m loving it, but I’m not sure if im liking it cause I so desperately need to work on a work project or cause it’s actually cool. It’s probably both, but this recent discovery have me scrolling at 02:34 am while I have a work meeting in the morning… I wanna die…

I am currently subscribed to 692 channels which sounds like the most adhd thing ever haha. I was curious if i was the only one with such a high number of channels subscribed too or if others are too.

I've been employed in the same company for the past 16 years as a systems analyst. Over the past 10 years or so I've always had 2-3 monitors (4 - 5 at times when I got real ambitious). Recently, I downgraded to a single 32" 1440p monitor and it feels as if I'm able to focus more intently on what I'm working on....

I realize that this turned into a wall of text. See TLDR....

but today I did more cleaning up while I was brushing my teeth before going to bed than the entire rest of the day.

I put together a repo with a load of different ADHD apps, podcasts, resources etc. and a few people have since added to the list. Hope you find them as useful as I do
