I keep making impulsive choices

Gumshoes April 29th, 2023

I'm fairly certain it's my ADHD causing this (OCD doesn't cause mania im pretty sure)
I keep making impulsive somewhat reckless choices lately one of which lost me $2000
i don't know how to explain it but when these decisions run through my head it's like I have to do them or I get SUPER anxious
and I'm not sure what I should do how do I become more in control of my ADHD?
I'm afraid of going on meds again

Fidget toys, listening to music on low levels, setting reminders, drinking things with caffeine in it (caffeine in a stimulating thing, so it would help you with staying focused), and when buying stuff, make two lists, one list is the list of what you actually need, the secondary is of the stuff you don't need, so you can decide what you need, and maybe get one or two things you want, I personally have Adhd and these things help, but if they don't work for you, there are thankfully multiple listeners on here that can talk to you and give you some advice! :D

@SleepyAchilles oh gosh caffeine makes me so anxious but I should probably invest in some fidget toys that sounds like a great idea
