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?
I'm posting because I'm a bit bummed out I guess. I began the whole diagnosis process because I wanted clarity of wtf is going on with me. A clear no it's not ADHD would maybe even have been a more satisfying answer than this....
I know it’s common we ADHD peeps tend to be constantly switching docs/psychs. I have been on SSRIs for more than 10 years now and don’t know if my issues are due to untreated ADHD....

When I was a kid they told me, “If you care about something and work hard you’ll succeed.” I failed, a lot, and so I figured, “I must be lazy and apathetic.”...

My 14 year old brother is really aggressive at times but it is visible that all of his aggression come from how hyperactive he is, and impulsive. He always wants things done immediately, and his aggression has been seriously problematic for all of us. He can’t sit still for once and has to be stimulated, he likes it through...
found a way to solve my issue by practicing meditation via n-back client, I will hopefully write down the details in my brain training sub soon
Doing this allows you to actually free yourself from planned distractions of certain websites, which is designed to pull in as much as attention as possible...
I’m new to lemmy and I’m loving it, but I’m not sure if im liking it cause I so desperately need to work on a work project or cause it’s actually cool. It’s probably both, but this recent discovery have me scrolling at 02:34 am while I have a work meeting in the morning… I wanna die…
There are lots of articles on the internet always trying to make ADHD into something that is gained through internet addictions than something that a person is born with. I keep hearing, “TikTok is making kids have short attention spans/ADHD” or “I have ADHD now because I scroll through Instagram for hours” and etc. The...
I’ve been having good results and just wanted to share how my changed treatment plan has already been having a big impact on me....
Does anyone feel like they’re missing social cues that neurotypical people understand without being taught? I’m missing out on career opportunities because of it. Does any type of guide/rulebook exist to effectively mask?
Just a sanity check here but… yall ever been mid conversation with someone and confused that they’ve forgotten a thing you talked about… until you realize that previous conversation took place entirely in your head?
I was formally diagnosed with ADHD in February, so am still very much finding my way, with medication helping a lot with my work life. However, my first child was born near the tail end of last year and boy did I not expect how debilitating things would be. I love being a dad, I love my kid so much it hurts, but any time I’m...

So was curious if this was unique to me, or is a universal experience. As soon as I start thinking about taking my medication in the morning, my heart starts racing before I've even taken the bottle out of the cupboard. Then I take it and my heart continues to race for about 45 to 60 minutes before it calms down. It doesn't...
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....
I’m struggling to find the motivation and focus. Do you guys have any tips?
I’ve been on Focalin for about 2 months now and I’ve noticed over the last couple weeks I frequently have a weird internal tremor/vibration sensation inside my entire body when I first wake up. It’s a sensation sort of like shivering but very subtle, without any actual physical tremor or muscle movement as far as I can...
It’s super effective (and legal to purchase over the counter where I live), but it gradually loses efficacy, and by the third/second week of a modafinil cycle, tasks become harder, focusing becomes a challenge and I gradually lose all motivation. In the end I just give up and enter potato mode again....
I started taking methylphenidate recently, but went through a stressful patch and suspect it contributed to a period of bad anxiety. That’s mostly better now, and the doc prescribed me vyvanse (Elvanse here in UK) instead....
