...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?

...See more WOW, in the last two months we have seen an addition of about 150 new members to the ADHD sub-community. This is an achievement and something to celebrate as it means that 7 cups is continuing to grow steadily and more and more people are taking the courageous step to reach out to the community. I am grateful and appreciative, like I am sure many of you are, that 7 cups exists. It allows us to relate to one another and receive perspectives and insights that assist us on our mental health journey. Way to go everyone, and welcome!  Feel free to introduce yourself in the comments. :)

...See more Today I was looking at this website.  I've been on this site for months, and all of a sudden it is like I understand something that I didn't before.  I get frustrated by how long it takes me to understand things, and people.

I just realized that I primarily use my inner monologue to study, and my monologue disappears on medication… anyone with similar experiences?

...See more For clarity, I will refer to “inner monologue” as speaking to oneself in their head. My inner monologue is quite constant and jumbled with random snippets of music, past conversations, and other junk. A while ago, I realized that the reason I get distracted while studying may be that I primarily use my (jumbled) inner monologue to comprehend and work through concepts. For this reason, I started on medication, and it works! Except… it makes the monologue disappears, meaning that I now struggle to study. Has anyone had similar experiences? And if so, how did you regain your studying abilities? Did you retrain your brain to think without an inner monologue? Or did you manage to organize your inner monologue, so as to filter unnecessary thoughts?

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
