I swear there’s a sweet spot for going to bed after my meds have worn off otherwise my brain just runs off in some random direction like normal....

Tachysensia...

The impulsivity is bad, wasted so much money and time. The hyperfocus, when on the wrong task, has cost me hours in that day. The poor planning / time management has landed me in a world of hurt more times than I care to admit. The low tolerance for distractions / hot temper has caused me to hurt those whom I love most in this...

I count 13 generic manufacturers: search lisdexamfetamine on www.accessdata.fda.gov/…/search_product.cfm

I frequently find myself losing momentum at the end of things that I enjoy. For instance, I’ve been playing Baldur’s Gate 3 and loving it. I recently got into the last act (Act 3) of the game, and I’m finding myself a bit burned out on it and gravitating towards other games. I’m also in the last episode of Dimension...

If you’ve heard of Headspace, Medito is more or less the same but run by a 501©(3) charity and is 100% free....

Straight up the last time this feedback loop happened to me was before I started the meds I’m on. Now it’s easier to break the loop because I can focus on other things rather than find myself hyper fixating on hyper fixating....

You don’t have ADHD

I take notes and write up mini reviews on my laptop when I watch shows as its the only way I can follow what’s happening. Even with no distractions I tend to drift off into my thoughts....

I don’t know where the purpose of my life is. I looked where I last saw it and it isn’t there anymore. It’s like losing your keychain. All I can do is hope I forgot it somewhere at home because I sure can’t go outside without it. I wanna find joy in things again, and it is so difficult to get you shit together when...

It feels like everything is slowed down and nothing happens. I try to fill the time up with my hobbies and interests but can’t because they don’t feel satisfying on the weekend.

I find myself on my phone way more than I want to be. It is a distraction. However, for everything it does distract me from, it still is a useful tool....

I know I should be asking my doctor, but even though getting an appointment with a neurologist is free, it takes months where I live....

Almost every time I do laundry and the dryer stops after my meds have worn off this ends up being the case...

I’m a 45-year-old dude who’s only now coming to grips with having probably lived my whole life with undiagnosed inattentive-type ADHD. My wife and online communities like this one (and formerly Reddit) have helped me see that I may have been playing life on hard mode by pretending I didn’t have ADHD....

I will let go of all my normal home maintenance tasks, such as cleaning, laundry, taking out the trash, changing bed sheets, etc., until I have a deadline for work approaching. All of a sudden, I have all the energy in the world to focus on said tasks while I avoid the looming deadline that I must absolutely accomplish if I...

Did anyone else have a weird experience with math? I could always do it in my head, really fast, get the answer, it’s correct… But then I couldn’t show my work or prove it, meaning it was useless. I’m curious if this is an ADHD thing? If so, does anyone know why?

Has anyone had any experience with this? The science sounds interesting, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the cost.
