...See more Does anyone feel comfortable sharing their story of getting an ADHD diagnosis? We can learn so much from each other and our experiences. I think it would be helpful for those of us on the fence about getting a diagnosis to hear from someone who has gone through the process. I have read that it can be a costly and lengthy process, what was your experience? How did getting your diagnosis impact your life? What were some of your positive and negative takeaways?

No meds anymore / my life is crashing TIPS PLEASE?

...See more Hi people, I need so advice, so about 3 weeks ago I took my very last pill (I did not know it then) but now we are unable to get a refill/just can’t pay it, my mother, I’m staying with her rn, thinks it’s not that bad she says i just need to focus like all the other people it’s not that hard. Problem is IT IS HARD I didn’t know that it was that bad tho. I took the meds for 5 years and somehow I feel like the whole ADHD got worse now that I’m off them. I know that that’s not true but it just feels so extreme. my Head is so Loud, my mind just goes dozzig away and I can’t get myself to be productive like at all. Maybe I’m just lazy and taking this as an excuse, but it feels so bad. I feel so useless now in class cause I’m always dreaming away and forgetting and this is my seniore year I can’t *** this up! so I’m here and hoping that some of you out there got some tips or advice in anyway ? Please

I hate my hobbies and I'm so unmotivated 🙄

...See more I have so many things I could be doing but no, ✨ADHD paralysis✨ pops in saying "surprise biiiatch, bet you thought you'd seen the last of me. I just don't know what to do with myself. I've never felt so lost, lonely, and isolated. I have no friends, I'm the black sheep of my family because I choose to stay away from activities in which I don't agree with 😬 I'm the cycle breaker, fyi. My biggest problem as of recently is nothing seems to spark any type of interest or joy. I hate all of my previous loved hobbies and basically all of the above are compounding into depression 🆘

...See more i feel like nobody talks about those moments you have a really obsessive thought and how it can feel to have it there when u really don't want it but the inner you has so much awareness that it's like staring right at you and may distract you from day to day activity's like bro move and let me wash my dishers 😂 i am trying that's one habit that im also learning to give much more love and compassion for myself instead of judging and feeling like im a bad person for having that "habit" like sometimes i will internalise and blame myself for having it when it really isn't my fault i must be more kind to myself .... word of the week BE KIND to yourself 🫶

Newbie ADHD with a long and hard road ahead.

...See more Hiya! So, I’m a newbie in this field. I’m actually still getting tested for it as we speak, although the psychiatrist already spoke between the lines he’s quite sure that this is accurate. I’m a 33 year old full time working mom of a 1,5 year old boy. Looking back on my life there’s been numerous times I could’ve been diagnosed for it, but as being a COPMI child i think they overlooked the situation in a way they ‘understood’ the behavior do to bad parenting. Of course, like many, the hole of depression I fell into began early 20’s where I got therapy for, and an additional CBT in group session. I thought the ‘problems’ I was still facing after that were just sole left overs from depression thinking you can’t get back to 100% yourself. And then I met my partner and eventually we got our son. Now that’s where the real problems began. We’ve had complications in pregnancy, during birth (ended in emergency-c section fully sedated) a cry baby and 2 serious hospital visits within the first 6 months. The bf couldn’t handle the crying and all that came, so I carried 90% of care. A newbie mom, not having a chance to even come to terms with it, traumatized from the start and ADHD amplifying the issue…. I seriously do not ever wish anyone that path from disaster. Over time with therapy we figured out the possibility of ADHD and with my son on the line (I was fighting CPS with every last bit of strength I had to keep my son) I turned a new corner, looked deep into the mirror acknowledging my failures and mistakes and started educating myself on any and every form of the disorder and psychology in it’s total form (still and will keep on learning) to slowly get out of the depression mainly on myself (I kept/keep forgetting my appointments with my therapist lmao) and am still trying to cope with all the exploded traits. I have to say that it’s a very hard and long road.. I’m now mainly focusing on how to manage the ADHD in order to start an additional EMDR therapy for the traumas endured since our sons birth, but at the same time the bf has separation anxiety with all the additional problems that’s pushing relationship problems and additional time for to educate myself on to understand him and be a supportive partner in hopes we can work through it, trying to understand my son and his behavior while I don’t even know who I am at this point. Sometimes.. idn. I’ll get there, luckily we finally know why the walls are closing in on me on a daily basis. But damn folks.. I’m a newbie ADHD with a long and hard road ahead.

I just through a breakup and I'm trying to recover from it and I'm just stuck in the deepest hole I've been and I can't get out. It's just so stressful and I don't know what to do...

Bored/Not Bored

...See more I'm so bored and not bored—all at once—and it doesn't feel very good. I need to focus on school, but that seems out of reach today. How do you all deal with deadlines on a bad day? I give up and try later, but nothing will ever get done if I keep doing this. I want to focus and have every intention, but when I get to the task, my brain shorts out and says, "Anything but this." But the problem it keeps doing that with all the tasks I need to complete today.
