Does anyone find certain personalities or traits just completely clash with your ADHD self? For me it’s loud talkers and excessively bubbly people. Not sure if there’s any correlation

I think this is hyper personal - for me, micro managers in a work setting are horrible.

In a personal setting - I’m pretty amenable but I do notice I can get easily irritated in loud environments (similar to your loud talkers perhaps). I think it’s just a general sense of overstimulation for me. I also hate people who have big egos, not sure if that’s related to ADHD tho

Same thing for me. This unfortunately describes my mom. She's wonderful and I love her, but she's an "external processor" and says everything that pops into her head, which is really hard for me to deal with because I'm an introvert and very quiet by nature.

I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 12. My family did not opt to put me on medication. I illegally discovered Adderall in college. Worked incredible. Got diagnosed after college & after having been fired from my first job. Passed the CPA exams on Adderall. Went off of it again. I do everything well at my job except for attention to detail within my excel files & emails. Will taking ADHD medication really fix this? Does anyone else have this issue and was it resolved by taking medication?

Hi! I’m a young professional with less than 2 years experience, started a new job 1.5 months ago. I’m having quite some difficulties on balancing out my response time to tasks. While I act incredibly fast if not immediately with some, I sometimes take 1-2 weeks with couple of hours worthy ones. Sometimes I ignore, procrastinate or simply other more urgent things come up to increase the delay. Also I work with 3 managers in my team which doesn’t help with expectations nor guidance. Any tips pls?

So today was my first day on a stimulant (diagnosed as an adult), and everyone says its suppose to feel like *boom* magic, or normal (?) , I guess. Knowing that is figurative, what should I actually be expecting? I feel mostly the same, I think, though I came in and actually did started my work today. But I mean, somedays I do that...I just don't want to psyche myself out if I'm expecting too much. Or pscyhe myself in if I actually might not be experiencing what I should.
