Hi all, my name is G, a soon-to-be 20-year-old who’s been battling the chaos in my mind since, well, as long as I can remember myself really, but it really all starts at 16 - the wonderful yet horrific time where you become more conscious and aware than ever. I’ve managed to thread together the fragments of my journey,...
For those of you in the US, how's the Adderall shortage going? I'm going to ask my psych to switch over to it because my insurance is driving the price of Focalin through the roof. I want to get an idea if its even feasible right now.
So, I have come to the conclusion that the word “want” in my brain has two closely related meanings....
Long story short, Im 28, I work in a specific department in my factory called lighting, specifically I work in the truss department. Lately someone from a nearby but technically separate payroll has been “stealing me” to do drape (basically folding and putting away huge theater drapes) I’m getting annoyed because not only...
I’m not presently working but I trained, and worked as, a software developer. I struggle a lot with work and my working life has been very chaotic due to shit mental health. It seems like a really stupid idea, as being a chef is meant to be really stressful. However, the idea of it being fast-paced, immediate, physical,...
God I am miserable. I am in charge of managing some several thousand video recordings as well as making sure my notes on them are accurate (date time and number of clips)....
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...

I’m so overwhelmed with all the stuff I have to do and also don’t have accountability at work and it’s making it worse. Anyone want to be accountability buddies? Spend a moment every week getting to know each other enough to hold each other accountable and maybe send the occasional uplifting message?
I’m in tech and working with a guy on a very small project, but I’m definitely not able to make ends meet (thankfully family & friends have pulled me out several months lately). I’ve also been looking for a stop-gap job until I find a tech company that actually knows how to hire. But even that seems to be really difficult....
I just started generic Focalin 5 days ago, 5mg once a day. It makes me feel wired, like I’ve had too much caffeine. I can’t tell yet if it’s helping with my concentration, and it doesn’t hurt my mental state as far as I can tell, but I’m wondering if this physical jittery feeling will fade over time. I can’t imagine...

TL:DR: When taking your ADHD meds (in my case atomoxetine) it’s best to take them and eat a meal at the same time....
I'm a little confused, I know based on my whole life experiences that I do indeed have ADHD; but I don't know how I should tell my doctor about it? I mean, it's disrespectful and yet probably would think I want drugs or something. A little help? Thanks.
Anyone can look at my youtube and know exactly what my current fixation is. It's also annoying and makes it really hard to pull myself out of it. It's like a hyperfixation amplifier.
What apps do you find helpful for any adhd concerns??
I’m so tired the caffeine no longer effects me. My ADHD issues are worse. It’s effecting work. I’m getting to work waiting to clock in and sleeping in the parking lot....
I read a lot of people on reddit’s r/adhd were they suffer with ADHD (or something similar, as they aren’t diagnosed) but can’t afford it. I read one that said they spend over US$ 1000 and had to stop looking because of the price....
I want get myself an official diagnosis on ADHD and an answer regarding whether I’m autistic....
I’m not officially diagnosed but I’m having a lot of trouble, being focused ans memorize things. Have you any methods, tools to help you backtracking what content content you’re watching or willing to in these platforms? Sometimes my browser remember the timestamp of a video, Sometimes it’s doesn’t.
I’ve been diagnosed for a couple years, and my husband just received his official diagnosis. His brother is saying things like “ADHD is over diagnosed these days, since your doctor is a specialist he might just be handing out diagnoses” and “just make sure you rely more on the therapy than meds because the meds are...
Hi,...
This post is both, seeking for advice and just communicating...
One of the biggest things holding me back from leaving Reddit, despite the fact I hate the way they are handling, well, everything, is the sense of community with people sharing similar experiences as me, as well as sharing my hobbies. It's nice to be able to look at things other people made in a hobby you're interested in, but...
I am currently subscribed to 692 channels which sounds like the most adhd thing ever haha. I was curious if i was the only one with such a high number of channels subscribed too or if others are too.
