#adhd talk

So I've been crazy productive today. Like, I can't even explain how productive I've been. As I am beginning to wind down for the evening, I was like 'DAMN GIRL. How did this happen? Can we have more days like this?'

And then it dawned on me that I took my ADHD meds today for the first time in like six weeks and maybe the two things might be a tiny bit connected

You know, after watching JaidenAnimations’ video about her experience with ADHD, and being an AFAB person like her, it really opened my eyes to a lot of things happening with myself and my brain and body, and I realize… I really think I need to get rediagnosed and on medication again.

This hasn’t been a straight forward decision, I’ve been thinking about it since starting university, and as my symptoms have been getting worse, I really do think I need it to function. I don’t even care if medication will “fuck with my brain chemistry”. I just want to not be homeless because my stupid brain requires dopamine for me to get stuff done.

I love how when diagnosed with ADHD, doctors don't tell you a lot of symptoms that occur as you get older and you have to find out through the Internet and licensed doctors online ☹️

I wasnt exactly told about how fatigue was an extremely normal thing with ADHD. On my own and taking advice from doctors, I have done everything I can think of to try and "fix" my problem with always being tired.

Exercising and Strength Training.

Going to bed early and getting 8 hrs of sleep.

Caffeine.

Better diet/eating habits.

Melatonin to help me sleep better at night.

But it always ends up the same, I'm still fucking exhausted at the end of the day. I'm scared to confront the doc about this, because I know how it'll end.

Being prescribed with another pill, or being met with "well I can't exactly do anything for you".

I already take Adderall and Zoloft and man oh man those have side effects of their own I have to deal with, but I don't want to fuck around with side effects of another prescription. Did that in the past and it wasn't pleasant.

I'm probably just PMSing really bad and the mood swings are hitting really hard, but this feels like more than just the regular luteal phase symptoms.

Being neurodivergent is wild whats the logical explanation to the ridiculous amount of joy a bottle blonde brings me and why I secretly worship people who portray Ronald as someone w adhd

Same thing w Lizzy, my dearest headcanons about her is that she has ADHD and Rejection-sensitive dysphoria

Being an adult with undiagnosed ADHD

What people see: a childish fidgety adult

What people don't see: wondering my whole life what's wrong with me?!!

Me: *has no motivation except to play sims*

Me: *takes meds* "ah yes, now i'll gain the urge be a productive member of society"

Me: *now just really wants to play sims*

Is it cheating if it’s old screenshots from my own twitter account? 🤔

I don’t think it is…
