I'm living with adult ADHD, yep. I take some meds for it but it doesn't medicate all of my symptoms. I just embrace the messiness and minimize it when I can. I came up with a system for getting things done that works for me and stuck to it. Always have. It's really unorthodox so I won't explain. Just do what works for you.

I have ADD and Dyslexia. I am still trying to find a system that works for me. I cannot seem to keep one system going.

I was just diagnosed two weeks ago. Went to my doctor's after a staff meeting on ADHD in our students. It explains a lot of my problems in school and academia, a lot of my anxiety and struggles. The meds I started haven't done anything for me but I'm on the lowest dose. Being diagnosed helps me better understand my kids with ADHD.

Mental Health, inherited or choice? I am finding myself struggling with processing that ADD, Depression, or Bipolar is a chemical imbalance in the brain vs. behavioral therapy. The best analogy given to me is you would treat diabetics with insulin so why not consider prescriptions to help mental health. 2020 has thrown more at me than I’m able to handle. Has anyone here noticed a significant improvement after a prescription to help psych issues?

Below are my thoughts rn: Man, I’m 28 and such a bum. I work a job I hate, I have no social circle. I have never had a gf. All these things are so challenging because I’m autistic. I can’t change that. What’s the point of living when society treats ppl like me like I don’t matter. Maybe I should just take a bunch of sleeping pills so I don’t have to deal with life anymore.
