RIGHT?! I remember that feeling too. This is how the other half lives every day all day? Really is a crazy thought. And you really don’t know what you don’t know. Anybody else had the same thought? I went through the stages of grief over it at first.

Anyone feel like yes, it helps; but have trouble deciphering what is adhd related vs knowledge/ skills? For instance, it helps with focus on tasks, but I can still feel a bit overwhelmed and have issues structuring a plan forward and sticking to it… any experience with this/ advice?

Yes, welcome ❤️

Omg yes. Same.

I started recently- have issues between delivery and structures thought. I realize it helps me stay on task, but I still need work in my structure/ planning- anyone have any advice?

First day of 30mg vyvanse today. Had a rush of energy and hyperfocus (too much so) about 2-4 hours in, but had a complete crash 5hrs after taking the pill (just a wave of fatigue, felt very good after a quick 15min nap actually) and not sure if it had any effect after. Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal. Appreciate any advice!

I have not been diagnosed with ADHD. I definitely fit some of the characteristics that go unnoticed in females. The good news is if i do have ADHD, it makes me quite good at my job as I’m very flexible and can provide positive energy to my patients. Anyway, my boss has told me I have ADHD multiple times. It seems rude when she says it, and she follows it up with “I say that because I love you” which i feel is so unprofessional all around. Anyone have guidance on how to handle this?

Had my 1:1 with my People Lead yesterday to prepare for talent discussions. Said I had a great year - but need to work on being consistent. She said when I’m engaged it’s great but need to keep it going. I’ve mentioned my ADHD previously but I’m sure she doesn’t know all the components of what that means. We’ve had org issues - no clear role descriptions or expectations. Yes I do have a hard time staying engaged (and I’m medicated - Vyvance in the am, dextroamphetamine at noon). Thoughts?

My psychiatrist today revealed to me that I may have ADHD, still a hypothesis that he is still exploring but from my personal experiences and discussions with therapist, it seems likely.

One example of personal experience is my ongoing prep for case studies as I'm interviewing with a number of firms.

That moment when you don’t remember if you took your Adderall so you take one just in case 🙃
