adhd

Does anyone feel like they’re missing social cues that neurotypical people understand without being taught? I’m missing out on career opportunities because of it. Does any type of guide/rulebook exist to effectively mask?

I'm posting because I'm a bit bummed out I guess. I began the whole diagnosis process because I wanted clarity of wtf is going on with me. A clear no it's not ADHD would maybe even have been a more satisfying answer than this....

I've been struggling recently with increasing side effects and reduced effectiveness with my Adderall treatment. For those of you on stimulants do the side effects even subside?...

I haven't had to use a mod action here yet and we're upwards of 800 subscribers. I just wanted to let you all know I appreciate you!

I was inspired by another post on here to sit down and automate some stuff. What apps have you used to automate things for you? Get specific what automations or workflows are you working on? And yes I just spent an hour automating things to avoid a different task....

What apps do you find helpful for any adhd concerns??

The amount of comments and posts I have for being here only for 5 days is absurd!...

I'm struggling to find the motivation and focus. Do you guys have any tips?

I put the pro in procrastinator.

What should I say or not say to the therapist for the first time? Should I come out and say I think I have ADHD or should I avoid my own self-diagnosis and ask them to evaluate my habits on their own? Anything I should say or not say in a first chat? Anything that may be a red flag or green flag with a new therapist?

I should have gotten tested months ago already, but executive dysfunction and anxiety kept me from making the phone call. It's soooo expensive because of the way my insurance works (haven't met my deductible). Also, I have to abstain from cannabis and alcohol for thirty days....

I have an unusual name so when I meet new people my brain focuses on their reaction to my name and how they pronounce it, so I completely zone out when they tell me their name. I might remember it for a short time but almost always I forgot their name if I don’t interact with them frequently.

I had created an ADHD community in my own instance, but I realized this one exists as well and has more subscribers. So I am converting mine to ADHD memes instead so as to not dilute the overall engagement....

No judgement? Do you use strategies or meds or both? I'm curious....
