ADHD Rule

I feel that. Without caffeine and anger I would just be a sad, highly compressed ball of sadness and stress and sadness.

I literally made a custom shirt that says "Fueled by caffeine and spite".

This post is forgetting the alcohol

Nicotine and generational trauma seems to work, too.

I've been on all kinds of medications from age 7 to 26.

Ritallin sped up my heart and I couldn't keep up in gym class because I was constantly catching my breath.

Concerta/dexadrine took away my appetite. One bite every meal, then I was full. I was pathetically skinny and got called anorexic all the time.

Straterra made me tired and drousy all day, I was sexually frustrated because my dick would REFUSE to get hard, and then I would wake up at night, not being able to sleep.

I'm 31 and madication free for 6 years, and have learned to overcome my ADHD on my own. Never swallowing a other ADHD pill again, fuck that shit entirely.

I wish I could get diagnosed

Caffeine makes me sleepy. :(

i use weed

If you want extra difficulty, I can recommend you Valproic-acid. It's essentially an ADHD worsener, except you're not really allowed to talk about that due to some people showing toxic positivity to psychiatric medication, in this case it's also an anti-seizure medication.

Ah, is that where my anger problems come from?

Caffeine & Daily Exercise & a job that is flexible about how we do things. I have only worked at startups and places that change systems a lot, that seems to suit my nature better somehow.

But my favorite T-shirt says

Whiskey and Yoga

I so badly want to be medicated again. However I'll require yet another diagnosis even though I have 3 throughout the years. Problem is, it's too difficult for me to get all my ducks in a triangle to get the process moving

Anyways I hear meth works pretty much the same plus it's easier to get so yeah imma check that out

Wonder how the rate of undiagnosed ADHD is...

Caffeine, anger, and a commitment to the bit.

nothing helped me in life like ritalin and elvanse did.

ritalin speaks to me.

Huh, so THAT's the reason why I listen to so much Punk Rock

AuDHD and completely caffeine free (and stimulant/meds/drugs free too). Caffeine definitely doesn't work for me like it does for other people - makes me sleepy and headachey. I'd rather just work with what I've got, (noise cancelling headphones + being inflexible) even if it has limitations

I wish I could afford therapy.

My health insurance only pays for 2 psych vists/y. This is in "socialist utopia" W-EUR.

We shouldn't mock the US healthcare system, ours is only marginally better.

You wanna know something cool though? If I was alcoholic instead of depressed, I could get help for free.

I hate this entire world and every human being on it, and my parents most of all for bringing me into it.

Caffeine worsens my existential panics, so I got that going for me, which is not nice.

What's up with the hardhat and glasses on Mac here?

Until you either crash or die of a heart attack.

I'm pretty much in this camp.

I've tried some of the stimulant treatments, but they leave me feeling completely wrung out by the end of my shift. And being on that stuff for more than 12+ hours just seems like a recipe for heart disease.
