adhd

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.

How many times must we say this? I'm over my limit when trying to extend a conversation past "oh cool" or not realizing someone was trying to share excitement or whatever with me....

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 get frequently asked. “Oh simple!”, I reply, “In the morning, I first try to find my phone. When I eventually find it, I realise that I miss my glasses too.” After I little probing break I continue, “When I do find them, half an hour later, I can only wonder where I have put my glasses this time.”...

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

Hey folks, so I recently got a job, which has been pretty great but very tiring. And I am finding it difficult to have that balance while also living with ADHD. I’m on meds, though might have to discuss with my psych on putting me on different meds but that’s another story for another time....

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

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....

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....
