I'm at my third type of medication and still no difference. At least I'm not absolutely drained as on first one but yet to see a positive impact. Yes, I'm diagnosed.

I hope my kid gets to feel this way someday
If my kid ever feels like this, I am going to be angry, and have a LOT of questions. Mostly in a very pissed off tone.
.......I don't have kids, and the last time someone COULD HAVE potentially gotten pregnant from me and kept it secret would have been 2006. But I'm 99.9% sure I don't have kids.
So if I found out I have a kid, I would be confuuuuuuused.
Steady on there, Genghis.
would you… lose your mind?

Yeah this is really hitting home. Looking forward to getting them evaluated
Meds that I tried didn't help me. Fuck me I guess 🙃
To be fair I have not tried any new meds in many years, so I'm sure there's new ones I haven't tried, but I couldn't afford the appointments or medications anyway...
A lot of it is better delivery mechanisms for dextro-amphetamines.
I wish tbh, been diagnosed for 3 years and still haven't found meds that work. I suppose that's inevitably part of it, but it sucks to just not be able to do things because my brain doesn't want to give me good chemicals.
Wow brilliant, this is one of the best explanation for ADHD ever
Too bad depression isn't the same way. Depression is like a _PRESENCE,_always looming over your shoulder. Meds and therapy make it small and quiet enough to mostly kinda sorta ignore, but it's always there. Waiting. Lurking. Ready to latch on like a pissed off velociraptor and drag you into the mud any time it sees the slightest opportunity.
