I hate people defending themselves or others who use ADHD meds recreationally. Like I shouldn’t blame them for all the trouble I have to go to every month to get my prescriptions because it’s a bigger societal problem. 🙄

What gets me is that I said something on a post and then a couple of other people said that I shouldn’t take out any frustration with the system on OP and that any hostility at that op was misdirected. I don’t think it was in the slightest.

Now after a week he calls me and says he wants to live at my apartment as his 14 day accomodation is getting over. I am a bit uncomfortable for this as he is a stranger.

How do you stealthily ask for help? I see a lot of you mentioning that you ask your partners to give you deadline, have your assistant check in, etc. That sounds great, but I'm so nervous about looking like the odd one out or revealing my ADHD in the process. So I haven't brought myself to do it yet.

What are the side effects of a small dosage of Adderall? I am thinking about getting tested, as this bowl has made me realize I may need to be. What has been keeping me from doing so for years was fear of being put on medication, but now I feel like although I’m almost 40, my career would vastly benefit from being diagnosed, or at least ruling it out.

Been struggling with my ADHD/depression more over the past few weeks than ever before. I am at a serious risk of losing my job for failure to meet billables and I can’t bring myself to fix the problem. I am normally an over achiever, but new to this job- so I don’t have a reputation to lean on here. I have not disclosed my conditions. Literally terrified and not sure how to pull myself out of this. Grateful for any advice or just to know others have made it through something similar.

I have ADHD and it is affecting my family life. I forget commitments I make to my wife literally SECONDS after making them, and it is so defeating to be so consistently unreliable.

On days when I don’t have a full workload, it’s very (I think way too) easy for me to blow off the entire day either reading news/social media and doing other things not relevant to work. I also have a habit of wanting to focus on anything but what I need to get done. Can anyone relate to either or both of these and possibly a sign of ADD/ADHD? I have an appt with my primary care doc next week but been curious about this tendency of mine for awhile.
