Next step is wait for him to get through his backlog of report writing and then start getting the medication worked out. His assumption is the untreated ADHD is attributing to my anxiety and depression so the hope is that my brain will start to be better soon. It would have been nice to know that before I went to college and struggled through getting a degree

Having undiagnosed brain problems but just getting by on smarts is a real pain. If I had gotten help a few years earlier I would've had a much easier time at uni, and probably had/kept more friends from high school. But instead, crappy sadbrains I didn't even realize I had until I didn't as much anymore and got the "woah, is this how good feels?" epiphany. Hope the diagnosis brings positive change for you!

Could be society is failing on the whole too. But ADHD kids are good at coming up with copes, and mine was turning tests into games and crushing them without very much mastery in the subject, going so far as to test out of the remaining two years of HS in a "make up" computer taught, self paced class. Then I dropped out of college 3 times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouZrZa5pLXk Wasabi the J has a new favorite as of 00:45 on May 13, 2021 |

Ended up dropping out twice then finally finishing at 30. Now I’m getting a masters more or less effortlessly. It’s crazy how that works, it’s also crazy how working in the real world and figuring out ‘copes’ like Wasabi the J said can help you out in different areas.

 brain weasels club.I just wish the But I've also managed to get past the university stage and into the work stage, and I'm like "lol no I'm not taking stims just to improve results for my capitalist overlords". I think mine's mild enough to just manage as is.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:I didn't get to finish one of the games on my old Amstrad 6128 back in the 80's because the answer to one of the riddles was a line from the US constitution or something, which I guess every kid in the US would have had drilled into them but since I was a dumbass kid in Australia I had no idea what the hell it was. I think I revisited it a decade later or something and it finally clicked and I finally got to finish the game, which was massively anticlimactic after all that time. I remember reading a book as a kid, pre-internet, where something was described as "milquetoast" and was totally confused because it wasn't in the Oxford or Macquarie dictionaries - I even went to the library where they had a complete unabridged Oxford. Turns out, Caspar Milquetoast was a US cartoon character in the 1930s and the name had become synonymous with "weenie".

I take my pills and everyone's journey is different. I didn't seek treatment for a long time because "other people with ADHD manage without meds maybe I can too!" Then I was sucking down energy drinks until my kidneys were dessicated lumps of salt and I was still "loving up" normies poo poo like "being on time" and "not arguing with loving morons that are also my boss." There are "medications" to fix the hunger issues. Try whatever feels safe for you. Personal anecdote: I stayed away from dex until I went through all non-stim meds first just because I wanted to make sure it was right for me and not my past joy-riding college-self latching onto the sweet unlocked brain chemicals that ADHD inhibits; but then I realized I was mainly joy-riding because I was actually passing classes and advancing at work. I didn't want to use more but I wanted it a little bit almost all the time and I was worried that was addiction, so I joined the loving army because I have an executive disorder and thought that was a good idea. What I'm saying is our brains are complicated and can be self-sabotaging so sometimes outside help is absolutely necessary, and I want to destigmatize the meds from both within and without the ADHD community.

The therapist and clinic I have have been instrumental in helping address my anxiety and depression, and they help mostly by making sure I stay on track with my own treatment even if it's just checking in. Externalizing poo poo kills the ruminating for me; I have the ADHD hyperfocus decision paralysis that gets triggered when I start thinking too hard about doing something "right", where I end up over-researching or doing a lot of supplemental tasks instead of the one I ACTUALLY want or have to accomplish. Therapy helped me learn when to recognize that poo poo happening and just being overall more aware of how our brains work has alleviated a lot of my unintentional rabbit-holing and stress out sessions. The meds help me turn the thoughts into an action tho.

I appreciate posts like this! I'll probably look into further counseling because I definitely don't think medicine alone will do everything. But I'm waiting to see where the bills sit once everything is said and done. So far it hasn't been anywhere near as much as I expected it to be
