Lots of caffeine to bring you up during the day and alcohol to slow the racing thoughts at night. It's no way to live.
Every once in a while I still encounter parents who are hesitant to get their ADHD kid on meds. I try to explain to them that it's not really about performance in school even if that's where it was first noticed.
It's about keeping them from killing themselves or engaging in incredibly self destructive behavior.
I got to experience that a couple of days ago. I should probably get diagnosed...
Please do, it's very helpful in just the knowing aspect and being told explicitly how it can and does affect you. Can help you manage it better even when you're not on meds
The way the trump admin is going and his potential "wellness farms", being undiagnosed might be better
Not everyone lives in America though
When the fire hose of right wing propaganda fueled by a trillion dollar military gets turned on, you will eventually.
It has helped me mentally to understand. Medicine doesn't do much except allow me to get things I just fucking don't care about, done at work.
If I want to be able to enjoy things in my free time I'll have to be up all night, or drink myself asleep.
