I literally just went though this. I quit taking my adderall for about a month.
I kept seeing posts online about having adhd and how relatable it is. Ironically, I also saw articles about the rise is diagnoses and whether the increase is real or over-diagnosed. I started to question if I saw some random post, related to it then got a diagnosis for something I may not have. I was thinking I didn’t deserve for the meds to work bc I didn’t really have ADHD. Honestly, it doesn’t even make sense to me now lol
You know, just your basic imposter syndrome spiraling.
I thought I was okay but over the month I was feeling more and more stressed out at work. Suddenly, I had 150 unread messages in my inbox and I realized I wasn’t completing my work. Before going off the medication I had just a handful of emails.
Back on my medication last week and I’ve already halved that stack of emails. My bf can tell when I take my medication and when I don’t. He notices I start interrupting a lot more than I when I don’t take it.
