Does you ever feel just overwhelmed by the need to "see it all"?

I can't think of a good way to articulate this, it's just something I deal with. I feel afraidof missing something. I want to make sure I watch every video of my favorite youtubers, listen to every single episode of my favorite podcasts, methodically watch every episide of my shows, read all the posts on my favorite reddit subs, read all the books by my favorite authors. If I miss one or forget one, I feel anxious and guilty.

Why is grocery shopping so hard?

Anyone else decide they’re finally preparing meals and have an idea in their head like some chicken and rice and a good breakfast (literally will just think “ a good breakfast”)

Then get to the grocery store only to BLANK THE FUCK OUT and roam the aisles like a crackhead holding a bottle of milk and a pack of digestives just staring at everything like my subconscious is gonna piece together a 5 star recipe on its own. End up singing along quietly to the song playing and bobbing around to find myself at the till with a pack of Haribo, milk and a coke.

ADHD is a constant emotional state of never knowing who you are.

Been feeling empty for years. I covered up the emptiness by going on vacation. I've lost my job. So for the last 5 weeks I have been a prisoner to my own brain. I would describe it as the high of bipolar that racing speed of unwanted thoughts with the beating drum of depression. I don't know how it will end. I'm 27, I cannot imagine living like this much longer. On the outside people who know me would be shocked because I'm always Mr.. Happy. Inside I'm dying. The worst thing is when I try to open up about my depression, everyone always says.
...

What have you got to be depressed about?
They just don't get it. I'm great at putting on an act making people laugh but inside I'm fucking hurting so much. I even replay thoughts of telling my brain to stop my heart beating. The pain is insufferable. I feel like a prisoner in my own body.

My mental illness has potentially ruined my 3 year relationship and I don’t know what to do.

Edit: I should have warned that this post gets pretty fiery and angry. I have cooled down since writing this, so I retroactively apologize for all the swearing and choppy writing. Thanks to everyone who has read and commented so far - it means the absolute world. I'm trying to get back to everyone but I'm a tad slow. Cheers!



I am so upset. My boyfriend of three years--who I’ve lived with for over a year--went to stay with his parents for a while after a big fight. Which is weird for us, because we don’t really fight. But things came to a head recently and I got really mean one night. I just couldn’t contain all the shit I was feeling anymore. I don’t know who’s at fault, or if that even matters anymore.

To explain, I’ll have to provide some background. I had recently started taking Adderall when we first got together (we were both 20) and I talked to him about it pretty early on in the relationship because I didn’t see it as something to hide, and I didn’t think for a second that anything negative would come from telling him. I just said straight-up that I had ADHD and took Adderall to help it. He took the news pretty indifferently, and I interpreted that as him not thinking it was a big deal. So I moved on assuming he’d accepted that as a part of who I was. I had no idea how much it would go on to bother him. A few months later, he revealed to me that my use of Adderall made him uncomfortable. He said something about wanting to know and be with the “real me” and not the “me” that was medicated. Like I was some kind of meth head. I know how bad and red-flag-ish this sounds in retrospect, but I was so in love and stuck in this stupid honeymoon phase of our relationship that I actually took his words to heart. So I quit taking Adderall and I stopped seeing my psych. I had this stupid idea that meeting my boyfriend had “cured” me and I didn’t need my meds because he made me happy and none of my problems mattered.

Well, fast forward to now, and guess what, dude? You have officially met the “real me.” The “me” that, for the past two years being off Adderall, has struggled to do every fucking simple thing that comes easily for you. The “me” that you see as lazy and sloppy and spacey. Do you like me now?


He really insulted me on the day we fought (the day he took off), even though he was just trying to state the way he felt. He called our apartment a fucking mess and that it was my fault, and that he didn’t want to live with me anymore because of it. He told me I need to get out of the house more and pay more attention to my personal hygiene because he didn’t like sleeping with me and being intimate if I hadn’t showered in the past day. And I totally understand. Those certainly aren’t the most desirable conditions to live in. But it made me so angry, and I started yelling almost uncontrollably. I just went unhinged (at least for me, as a very passive person). I told him to fuck off and that I didn’t want to live with him either if he continued to offer me absolutely no emotional support when I was feeling shitty and unmotivated, and told him that his hangup about my medication use was the thing that kickstarted it all. My ADHD (and the depression that comes with it) had become this huge taboo in our relationship when it didn’t have to be. I threw a lot of the blame back onto him, and I know I probably shouldn’t have. None of my bad habits are his fault by any means. But at the same time, if I just had his full support with my mental illness, I can’t help but think none of this would have happened.

He’s still gone. I’m so fucking lonely but I don’t even know if I want him to be back. We haven’t officially ended things, but we aren’t talking at the moment. Oh, and I’m back on Adderall now and honestly, all this relationship stuff aside, I feel great! I’m keeping the apartment orderly in his absence, I’m able to focus, and I’m excitedly on the hunt for a new job. But god, I don’t know if this relationship should be salvaged at

Overcoming the challenges of feeding myself

One of my biggest self-care obstacles is eating regularly. I love food and always try to eat something when I take my meds/vitamins so I'm not taking them on an empty stomach, and am great right up until I run out of food. Then it gets ridiculous.

I end up starving some days because I won't order food because it's too expensive and I should just go to the grocery store, but then I won't go. I'll eat a piece of bread or a banana from the bodega and a handful of nuts or something like that as my sustenece for the day, spread out into smaller portions throughout the day to keep me going and I'll stress about getting food somehow for hours and then never follow through. I literally feel weak sometimes doing this, which gives me even more anxiety about the whole situation because it's a completely solvable problem, but I just freeze up all day and end up doing thing.

For weeks now, the thought of going to the grocery store has been overwhelming me. It's within walking distance, but I just can't will myself to go. I can only carry so much, so I have to be strategic about what I buy and I have a list of things I want, but just the thought of going there and finding everything and then carrying what I can back home is too much for me. I know it's really not a big deal, it's literally going to the store and buying food for myself, but the more I put it off, the more I hype it up as a big event in my head and I get exhausted just thinking about it.

So today I said fuck it and ordered groceries to get delivered to me. And it was more expensive than I would've liked it to be, but I decided that the priority should just be to get food to me ASAP in whatever method that will actually get it here, instead of me spending another day trying to convince myself to physically go to the store. The store is too much for me right now. Sitting in bed and doing it all from my laptop? Completely doable, and I refuse to let myself feel guilty about it. It's not lazy, it's just what I can handle right now.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that sometimes it's okay to do the thing with the bare minimum amount of effort as long as it gets done because in the end the task is done

Don't worry about where items are "supposed" to go in your home. Keep them where you're most likely to use them - even if it means sunscreen in your underwear drawer.

Just because everyone keeps cleaning supplies under their sink, doesn't mean you need to. Put things where you're most likely to use them, even if it's super weird. This helps you A) remember you have it, B) remember to use it, & C) put it back since it's in a convenient spot.

A lot of organizers say to put an item in the first spot you'd think to look for it, but that's ignoring the fact that you'd have to actually remember to think of it.

If you forget to put on sunscreen or take your meds in the morning, keep them in your underwear drawer, not your medicine cabinet.
If you're constantly using a screwdriver to open your kids' toys in the living room, keep it in your living room, not in the garage.
If you always forget to clean your dining room table, keep your cleaner & paper towels in there, not under the sink.
If you struggle with meal planning, keep your recipes for the week printed out in your fridge, not in a cabinet.
If you forget to take menstrual pain relief, keep it with your tampons, not with your other medicine.
If you always forget to use crock pot liner bags, keep them inside your crock pot, not with your other plastic bags.
If you have a bottle of cream of chicken soup you've had for a year & keep forgetting to cook with, keep it on your kitchen counter until you use it.
If you forget to bring your lunch in the morning, keep your keys in the fridge.
If you forget to put your socks on in the morning, keep them by your shoes by the door, not in the dresser.
If you always forget to put on deodorant, keep some in your car.

Obviously don't go too crazy & start hiding all your stuff where you'll never remember it, but I've started doing this for a few of my things here & there & it really helps.

Feeling like a fraud before getting diagnosed

Has anyone ever felt like they were a fraud or an imposter before going to a doctor to get a diagnosis or tested or something even though you’re pretty convinced you might have adhd but you’re worried that you actually don’t have adhd and that the doctor will call you out on that and that you’re actually just lazy and want to rationalize your laziness?

I’m hoping it’s not just me. I’m about to go to a doctor some time this month and i’m just terrified.

Thank God I have autism because noone understands adhd or takes it seriously

My autism is fine. It is a part of me that I would not change. My adhd is nearly debilitating. It is a constant drain and causes so many issues in my personal life, academics, work, and so on.

Noone takes adhd seriously. "Everyone has adhd"

"oh so you just aren't good at paying attention? Well you have to pay attention to this anyways"

"look, just clean. Noone likes it"

People see it as a made up disorder that you use to "get drugs" because "of course you feel better, you are basically on coke. I would feel better and more able to accomplish things if I were on coke too"

So as shamless as it is sometimes if im really struggling and need assistance of some sort or really need some sort of disability help I need to use my autism. Even though typically my autism is fine, its usually adhd symptoms that mess with my life in extreme ways.

Well fuck you life and I am moving to Scotland at easter or when this pandemic is over. It may not seem like a big deal but I have my mortgage in place.

Having parents who dismissed ADHD as being lazy sucks.

My dad actually refused to get me a new diagnosis when I was in high school because of this and even made me afraid to talk about it. I had been diagnosed when I was younger, but my dad took custody and refused to let me take medicine. I forget things a lot, at the time had trouble focusing on my homework to the point I ALMOST failed so many classes but somehow pulled it off last minute, and would hyperfocus on things I enjoyed like music/band and video games. But his mindset was always “oh you’re just lazy, you have the ability to do so much greater” and would take away all of my privileges, only allowed to do homework and read, not even watch TV or do anything online, he even took away my phone and had the school take away my school-provided MacBook. I can tell you though, I definitely learned how to become really good at being sneaky. But suffered in so many other aspects. I wonder what my life could have been like if I had medication. When I went to college for music education, I had a small scholarship and would have had to pay a lot out of pocket - my parents certainly couldn’t afford it and I wasn’t eligible for much else. I had to drop out because I couldn’t afford it and even still was very mentally unprepared for it. I then had to move in with my grandma and get a loan from her for school because I didn’t have a car or a job, and listen to her berate me with “well if you actually did well in school I would have just paid for it but now you have to pay me back, definitely couldn’t have told you that when you were actually in school and taken like 60% of your stress away and maybe pass college.” And now here I am almost exactly a year later, still living with her but very close to moving out on my own and with my partner. Then about 8 months ago my doctor wanted an official diagnosis again, and it took 5-6 months for the neuropsychology clinic to say “it’s unclear at the time” because I was just off my Adderall when I took the test, and they only based it on attentiveness and nothing else. Since then I’m seeing a psychiatrist who’s put me on Strattera for my ADHD, I’ve been on it for 3 weeks and I think it’s going to work out. I still have my symptoms; forgetfulness, I literally chew on my cords and other things to stimulate myself, I hyperfocus on video games, I talk NONSTOP when I can, and a bunch of other things but it’s definitely much more manageable. And my confidence has had a boost as well

It’s worth it to try to make this checklist for yourself. My therapist guided me through this a few years ago and it has helped me immensely.

My personal are my symptoms properly managed checklist:
Can I reliably fill my pill case every Sunday night? Or am I carrying my pill bottle with me from room to room only barely sure if took my
meds?

Can I call the doctor 5-7 days before I’m out of pills to make sure they have plenty of time to get things filled? Or am I calling the day before and buying a 4 pack or red bulls to get me through 2 days with out meds?

Can I leave the house knowing for 100% sure I’ve locked the doors and hit the lights? Or am I turning around half way down the block to double check?

Can I buy cat/dog/fish heck even human food before we run out? Or am I running to the store at midnight realizing I forgot to feed the cat?

If I can answer the second way to any of these; something is wrong. The reason could be any of the following,a combination or it’s just a bad week-

I’m not taking care of myself and am run too thin (time to slow down before I burn out!)

I’m avoiding something that I don’t want to deal with (usually this means it’s time to go back to therapy)

My meds aren’t working and it’s time to talk to the doctor.


This is also super helpful for people who claim everyone has AHD and We’ve got a “leg up” by being medicated. You ask someone who doesn’t have ADHD if they regularly (more than 3 times a week when I’m struggling) do any of the things listed above they will say no. People with no mental health problems have no clue what it’s like to keep your life running. It’s way easier to succeed when you know yourself and your needs.

About this sub

I absolutely love reading through the posts on this sub. I feel like there's a way people write, communicate and express themselves here that just clicks and I don't know how to explain it but I almost feel like I don't need to and you'll get what I mean.

I keep seeing patterns of "speech" here that are so familiar to me because it's how I communicate. Even silly things like people unnecessarily explaining what they're saying as they're saying it is something I've noticed a lot and it's still novel to me feeling like I'm on the same wavelength as other people.

I've been informally diagnosed by my doctor who has referred me for a formal diagnosis by a specialist clinic who have evaluated me and accepted me for "treatment" but I need to wait around 12 months for the assessment for the formal diagnosis. A diagnosis explaining everything I've struggled with still seems almost too convenient, I'm so used to believing I'm just shit and have all these flaws with no excuse that the idea of an explanation for it all is still overwhelming.

Anyway, despite my diagnosis not being formalised I just wanted to say I like it here and really enjoy reading everyone's stories and thoughts and stuff.

I made Lasagna for the first time AND finished the dishes afterwards

My lasagna is in the oven (don't worry i have alarms set) and immediately after putting it in I started the dishes since I knew I wouldn't be able to do anything or use any silverware tomorrow since it was all waiting to be washed. I followed some advice i heard somewhere where you have to force your mind to think that washing the stuff afterwards is part of the process of cooking a dish and not a separate chore and it worked this time. I DID IT!

It is especially awesome because I wasn't on my meds today (had to stop a few months ago since Vyvanse is not covered by my current health insurance) and have been struggling to learn and work with my limitations/strengths the hard way. It is hard and sometimes I don’t get things done or make mistakes but dammit I am determined.

I may have accidentally added cheese on top before putting it in the oven but I guess we will see how it turns out. Focus on the positive.


Edit: proof! It turned out awesome!!

One of the awful things about ADHD is that it really becomes part of your identity...

The lack of dopamine/norepinephrine doesn't just cause you to be perceived as rude, or a space cadet, or a hyped up toddler, or just an emotionally abnormal person...it doesn't just cause you to hate yourself and feel depressed at your lack of motivation and/or poor performances... it doesn't just make holding down relationships and jobs difficult...it literally influences who you are...your hobbies and interests - our need for stimulation and avoidance of anything tedious or repetitive actually caused me to basically give up on my music production, and reading, and to some degree even writing.... so in that sense it has literally impacted me on a personal level.

Now I'm not saying we shouldn't try to contend with it - I still try to persevere with my passions and hobbies of course but it's an uphill battle.

Fuck I wish ADHD were just 'that thing where kids get bored in class' as some ignorant prick from my old work put it.

Let's not wallow in self pity here but also recognise that it can permeate to the depths of your identity.

I’ve been cured, I’ve been healed, and I now see the light

my god.

Ok so I was working on online class and I was writing an essay and my very supportive mom caught me the SECOND I started staring out the window zoning off and YELLED at me that I was this close to getting in some big big trouble with her.

Wonderful behavior from such a supportive mother who knows damn well I’m diagnosed. She even once told me that she will be the most loving mother in her daughters time of need. I waited for her to stop yelling about how supportive she was for me.

Then,

my brain had a decision set forth,

Out of spite,

After she stopped yelling,

this point. So many areas of our lives have been wrapped up together, and at the end of the day, I don’t think he’s a bad person; he’s just ill-informed and ignorant. I feel like the world’s biggest bitch for raising my voice and basically forcing him to leave the apartment because it’s hard to live with me. On the other side of things, I feel that my anger was justified, and that he was being a dick by suggesting I stop taking my medication and then refusing to help me with things I struggle to do (the things Adderall was intended to help with). I can’t believe I put up with it this long.

Any advice is warmly welcomed. I don’t know how to feel anymore, but if anyone has had similar experiences I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thank you so much for reading.

10-Day streak on Duolingo!

Who else is learning another language?

I recently told myself all I have to do is complete at least one lesson on Duolingo a day. And I've remembered! Ten days isn't a huge streak, but I'm very happy and proud of it!

I've been trying to learn Russian for just about ten years. I get extremely invested, immerse myself for a while, then move on to something else only to bounce back after a few months or years.

It's been hell.

But these past six months I've tried harder than ever to not lose focus, and I just completed my longest streak on the app.

The tiniest of baby steps, but I thought I'd share the success here. :)

ADHD Hack For Brushing Teeth

This might sound stupid to some but I know some will relate. It’s hard for me to do basic tasks that seem so easy for others. Brushing teeth, taking shower, eating, shi like that. Recently I’ve been tryna brush my teeth more and I kinda started to find a way without even knowing it. Whenever I try to get into a routine of these things I can only keep it up for a couple days and people assume that i’m being lazy but i don’t think that’s what it is. Basically what I started to do was put on some loud music so like my brain kinda gets distracted in a way, then I would brush my teeth. It works most of the time but the last couple days i’ve been stuck in bed but today i’m gonna try to start again.

Is it a common thing to get a rush of anxiety if somebody contacts you at short notice asking if you’re busy?

Even if it’s a family member texting out of the blue, I feel like I need to come up with an excuse on the spot because nobody seems to understand why I struggle to do things at short notice.

I’ve always said I could never be a manager or take an on-call job at work because of the constant worry I may be asked to do something at short notice, even on a day off. I need to know that my time is mine with the least possibility of interruption.

Things are good. I get more confident at work. I get more patient and understanding in my relationship. I stay in touch with my friends. I answer my emails. I Facetime my parents.

... Then I get stressed at work and something knocks me.

... Then I get overwhelmed and shut down for days and can't even answer a text message.

... Then I get so crushed that, at the 11th hour, when it's already too late to salvage, I blast through like a bat out of hell.

Somehow crisis averted at the last minute!

Whenever I have a stretch of time where I don't have to be anywhere or do anything at set times, I always end up going to sleep later and waking later every day until it settles at a completely reversed pattern. Currently I am going to sleep around 6-8am and waking around 4-5pm. I try to change it but every day it fails. The way I usually reverse it is by staying up a full day, but it always gradually returns. I feel so much more awake with the nocturnal pattern.

Failing my class again, on the verge of Drop Out

I'm in 5th semester of my graduate program in Notary, and i fail to get atleast B at my final subjects (i got C), resulting in me failing to push my GPA above 3.0 (i'm now at 2.89), thus unable to admit my thesis for trials, pushing it to next 6th Semester, which is by University Regulation, as the limit for graduate program.

I...... kinda give out, wasting thousands just for failing like this. I can't really get the subject, almost most of them having exams consist of writing complete 5-10 pages of notarial act while also complete some extensive essays in under 2-3 hours, which i'm shit at, because i can stick my head straight on repetitive, regulated, strict writings like this. I lose focust constantly until the final 30 minutes, can't reliably remember much of my lesson even after extensive cram, my head constantly noisy everytime im gone into panic state, wtf wrong with me?

I feel like shit now. Fuck up big time. Try to talk to my parents, but it always the same old "try to focus more", "don't playing games then, focus on study", "don't do porn", "you need to pray more" stuff. I dunno, i'm probbably just not that smart. Feels like a load wasting thousands on something i'm shit at like this. I don't know what to do. Talk it to Psychologist? Psychiatric? Kill myself?

For example: I was having a debate with someone earlier and he wanted me to explain my opinion and how I landed there and I just.. couldn’t. I knew that I was being reasonable and that I had come to that conclusion with a sound mind due to researching it beforehand but when he wanted me to explain it it was like my mind just went blank and I was scrambling.

I know this is a common thing that happens to a lot of people in general, but I'm wondering if it's more common for people with ADHD. I'm 22 so I'm still considerably young but I have no idea what I want to do with my life. I constantly hop around from hobby to hobby and end up COMPLETELY forgetting about them and nothing sticks. Every time I think I like something and could do it forever, it eventually fades away and I become uninterested. I have no real drive to do anything even though I desperately want to, and I cannot find my passion for the life of me. Is this common?

When she’s in a mood that just makes a bad atmosphere, I don’t know what to do with myself, it’s like I get stuck; I end up wasting pretty much a whole day, I wish I could just ignore it and get on with something, or go off out. By I can’t, it’s like I’m gripped with some kind of power that takes anyway any kind of will to do anything. I also feel filled with anxiety and angst. It affects me so much. Does anyone else have this issue? Or any advice on how to cope with this?
