So remember that thing where I got on an antidepressant recently that also treated for ADHD
remember how I was excited about that
Well we’ve been noticing that my logical processes do seem a little more organized, and I’ve been getting a lot of writing done, I have the capability to just sit down and write the things that are in my head just because I want to WHICH IS SO...

Most of my friends don't even know what I have.

AS = Asperger’s Syndrome (Mild Autism)
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyper-Active Disorder)
OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)
CD (Clinical Depression)
Anxiety
My sister likes to believe that I don’t have any of this, saying that I’m perfectly “normal.” Haha. That word. It just makes me shake my head over and over.

Adderall :)
21yy:
Best Day Ever
Why? Because of Adderall XR 20 MG. That’s why I feel like today I did enough work for 2 years and I had fun doing it. I love Adderall. And I have 9 more! So 9 more days of good grades :)

tellthebees:
What are some benefits to having ADHD?
It’s hard to determine objectively which of my skills are made better by ADHD and which are things I am naturally good/OK at. Even though in principle I dislike dropping into the middle of things—conversations, movies, TV shows—I can get myself up to speed almost immediately.
From what I’ve read, the ADHD brain spins faster but has less...

All these ups and downs.

I’m not strong enough to deal with any of this yet okay?

I’ll continue calling my ADD for a “brain damage/dysfunction” because apparently it’s really hard for people realising that it isn’t something EVERBODY has or just a part of my personality or whatever. Sorry if I offend anyone but I’m just so damn tired of having to argue and prove to everyone that this affects me every day, every second of my life.

ADHD and being a loner →
the-doctors-banana:
This little article really resonated with me. Good to know that I’m not the only one. My actions seem quite rational (and more flexible?) seeing them from this perspective.
nocause4concern:
When my thoughts drift in the middle of a conversation and I realize I have no idea what you just said…
First of all, sorry about that.
Secondly, is this caused by my poor social skills or my apparent attention deficit?
Or is it a combination of both?
In my experience, that’s a pretty hallmark ADD thing. :)

so I’m on a new antidepressant
and this one is also used for ADD
I’ve only been on it for three days, so it hasn’t kicked in yet, but uh
I haven’t been medicated for my ADD since November 2009, when I had my accident and I had my jaw wired shut so I couldn’t take my pills, and after that Mom refused to get me my meds anymore, and then I left the next June and I didn’t...

"I'm so ADD"

Here we are again, I’m gonna fucking rant. So this bitch in my school made a video and posted it on facebook, the video was entitled ” LUK I SOOO ADD!!!1!!! LOL” and she was just dancing along to Riding Dirty. What the fuck? You’re a fucking ignorant bitch. I have ADHD, I was diagnosed when I was 9 and I’m sixteen fucking years old now and I still have it. You...

betheriel:
Uhm, my diagnosis? As I said yesterday, I first brought it up in a conversation with mum at the age of 14-15 but I barely knew what it meant so I quickly forgot about it. Even if I have felt “special” through my whole life, I thought it was just my imagination because everyone kept telling me I was normal. When I visited my psychologist I told her I wanted to do a Aspergers...

My meds.
zeninnerpeace:
So for the people who follow me because of my mental health issues, I just thought I’d share my medication journey.
I started seeking mental health care in August 2012. I saw a therapist for an assessment first, she diagnosed me with ADHD inattentive type, OCD, GAD, and depression which later changed to just ADHD, OCD and depression. I saw a med prescribing doctor next and I...

Albert Einstein had ADD
ohhhhdarling:
A little over a year ago I got the answer to why I think too much. Why I can never listen to a conversation someone else is trying to have with me. Why I start 20 things and NEVER finish them. Why I can’t mentally imagine things I can’t physically see. Why my memory is so unbelievably terrible. Why I get so frustrated and upset when I forget something at home, walk into a room and...

I went to the doctors office today to renew some of my ADD medication. and the doctor totally treated me like i was an idiot! She was all “people like you can still succeed. don’t feel bad about yourself”.
Da fuq!? Was i feeling bad about myself before? I don’t think so! I’m going to Tufts University! They don’t just accept anyone there! Get out! It is not your place to judge my...

what people dont realize about adderall and other add meds is that they dont make you focus on your work. it helps control your add. you focus on whatever you choose to focus on. if your head is in another place other than your work you’re gonna focus on that, not your work. like im supposed to be writing my final paper for english right now but instead im typing a big ass,...

I’ve noticed lately that I’m so used to being anxious that I barely think of it nowdays. It’s still there though and pops up up when I least expect it. It prevents me from being happy when something great happens to me. It prevents me from crying when I’m sad. My back and neck hurts because I’m so tense. I wake up with neck pains in the middle of the night…

I just love how this works.
Tested for ADHD at the Psychiatrist today. Won’t know the results until January 4th. Guess I don’t care anymore cause we’re supposed to be dead by then. Preparations for the Zombies are in order. After I clean up my car. And my room. And study for finals. Eh screw it. I’m gonna watch How I Met Your Mother all night. Notice why I have a problem?

After years of struggling to explain myself to my family and peers I am finally able to say that i do in fact have ADHD combined type as well as generalized anxiety disorder. While a lot of people write these disorder off as common and not a big deal, knowing that there is a reason behind my struggles means a lot to me. So thankful that I finally officially know whats going on.

Because of some doctors over-diagnosing disorders such as ADD, ADHD, Bipolar and depression, that none of these diseases actually exist!?
Yes there is way too much diagnosis of these disorders. But that does not mean they don’t exist.

Psychiatrist
suchabittersweetlife:
So my psychiatrist, whom I will call M, is a witch. She basically said that I didn’t have ADD, despite my chart-topping scores, and that I’m a student who wants to score some stimulants to study for finals. I don’t even have anything to study for. She also said that it’s not possible for me to have it because I used to be on the honor roll and people with ADHD can’t be good...

Executive functioning tip!

So, I dunno about all y’all, but I sometimes have a lot of trouble remembering to take medicine in the morning, and… yeah, not good. What would often happen is I’d be working so hard on getting dressed, getting breakfast, getting a drink with which to take my medicine….but then I’d forget to get the frickin pill box out.
But yesterday I was talking to my awesome dean who...

I have ADHD.
It’s gotten to the point where I had to switch my dosage because of college classes and my weird homework hours. At first I thought having ADHD wasn’t that big of a deal, but I recently realized that I am completely dependent on my medication. I have to time it properly, and if I don’t take it, I can’t get much of any work done, no matter how hard I try.
And I can...

ADD problems

1) Sometimes I can’t remember people especially the people who intentionally want to hurt me unless I am close to them or I had a strong emotional memory along with that person. 2) When I tell people how I feel then get distracted onto something else not too soon after they feel like what I just told them didn’t matter, when it was something I still very much meant! 3) I don’t...

Ritalin Effects
justagirl-neverenough:
Today is my second day of 20mg of Ritalin 10 in the morning and 10mg at lunch time for inattentive ADHD. Yesterday the morning dose hit me pretty hard, I was extremely productive and cleaned almost the entire house in 3 hours (which i never could have done before) but it all felt very surreal. I felt like I was floating around basically and more than once my brother told...

I don’t know. I don’t want them to think I’m sitting around being lazy and I just want meds. Seriously though I can’t focus at school. Th reason I cant focus at school is that there are people around me. I find other people so interesting and I like to watch people (not in a creepy way). This happens in class as well as during tests. The worst is when I am driving because I...

sherl0ckian:
My doctor raised my dosage to 56mg because 34mg was like a sugar pill.
Unlike on 34mg, I can now at least tell that I’m ‘medicated’ because I feel anxious and extra calm. (I feel physically calm, like there’s less tension in my actual body and I can sit still for increased periods of time, although mentally I feel more anxious.) The calm thing is cool, but my concentration/work...

I’m an introvert. Even when it seems like i don’t care, i care so much more than my heart can take, it’s silly but I care too much. It hurts me the most when you tell me I don’t care, it really breaks my heart because 100% of the time i have you in my mind. I’m more scared of hurting the people i love and so I spend 20 minutes gathering the courage to tell you the right words to...

In regards to my last post-
I still don’t feel like my medication is working and I’m getting very angry during this class. I’m getting so mad at the person next to me because their nose squeaks every time they breathe. That’s literally all I can focus on. I don’t know what’s going on in class because all I can think about are the noises coming out of this person’s nose!...

So I’ve been taking 20 mg Ritalin two times a day for the past four days, since it was prescribed. The first day, I felt like I had super brain powers. The second day, I didn’t experience so much of a “rush” but I still felt like I could concentrate on what I was supposed to. Now, by day four, I feel like I haven’t even taken anything- but not in a good way. The...
