#adhd problems

Adderall: Gets me a little "buzzy", makes it harder to sit still or idly veg, thus improving Task Initiation. Improvements to task initiation waned over time. Doses of 15/15 didn't improve concentration. Doses of 20/20 had me finishing projects across 18-hour sessions.

Suppresses hunger, I forget to eat. Raises heart rate and BP a little, but within acceptable levels. Wasn't allowed to do XR because of weight loss from forgetting to eat. Wouldn't consistently remember to do second dose. Feels more like "rescue" drug than maintenance for me.

I just took a dose of a new ADHD medicine because I'm in the process of getting matched to a pill that works for me and as soon as I swallowed it, I noticed the medicine instructions has a warning for sudden death in patients with heart problems. 🫠 Haven't had problems since high school but fuuuucccckkk!!!... Why would they give this to a person who also has anxiety?!

random self discovery:

i am actually lowk a workaholic when i take my meds but its depending on what i want to do in that moment/whats most important to me at the time. then i can lock in like crazy. for example, pjsk gacha coming up that i need crystals for? im playing all day and night. fic i wanna finish? writing every single chance i get. multiple assignments due in a couple days? im doing that and only that all day.

but when i dont take my meds i am genuinely a lazy bum. i will end up doomscrolling hours on end and having an incredibly unproductive day because im too exhausted from basically nothing to do anything. i dont wanna move or do anything because i have zero motivation to at all.

in other words i have the depression and adhd combo

working on a college au texting story rn

i was THINKING about doing a smau but i literally have only made my ocs profiles on there... plus the band au plus the oc chapters and a bunch of other stuff

not heing in school rlly stresses me out so I end up overindulging in my creative liberties in an effort to create more than i consume which leads me down this inevitable path of extreme burnout and bedrot by the last two weeks of summer

THIS TIME AROUND im pacing myself a little better because instead of consuming fast media and the same media over and over, im forcing myself to branch out a little more and to consume new games, new shows, new movies, and BOOKS

I like to read but i never have time... so im gonna start reading the jjk manga and catch up on my comics 😭😭

like idk is this relatable or am i cooked
