Okay, so this is weird....

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.”...

Some people use the pain of RSD to find adaptations and overachieve. They constantly work to be the best at what they do and strive for idealized perfection. Sometimes they are driven to be above reproach. They lead admirable lives, but at what cost?...

This is primarily talking about state dependence with ADHD medication (stimulants)....

Hi everyone,...

I recently decided to get in shape and started biking. I’ve noticed after a bike ride I tend to get more done at work. Do bike rides improve concentration?

I posted an affiliate linked event....

I just started meds for the first time (Focalin XR). I’m on day 2 and it has been great so far as while I am on them I can actually choose what I want to focus on....

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....

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....

Tl;dr: Awesome...

When my stubble grows in, I just have to play with it. When I shave it off, I just have to feel how smooth it is....

A two+ hour drive would really take it out of me. I would often have to stop and have a 10 minute nap....

Once again I messed the pill count and didn’t renew my prescription in time sol I’ll be riding this coming week dry… thanks stupid US medical system....

I’m currently being diagnosed for ADHD (i probably have it but i still need the confirmation from my therapist), and I was wondering if you have problems being consistent with physical activities....

Hi everyone, Years ago I was on a Ritalin generic, and it ended up just being like strapping a jet engine to a bicycle: couldn’t focus at all....

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...

My psychiatrist strongly suggested that I take a “medication holiday”, meaning not taking meds for up to a month during the summer holidays....

I have a slight suspicion that every time I consume something with caffeine it has a specific effect on me....

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....
