Don't worry, keep up the stress and ADHD will break like a neurotypical.

Yup. I rode deadline panick all the way through to a degree and now it feels like adrenaline just doesn't work right anymore.

Get a hormone blood panel done, it can check your cortisol.

I had one done a few weeks ago and (big surprise) my cortisol is basically non existent.

I had a near miss during autobahn driving recently and I felt nothing. I remembered it because it was so bizzare. I do feel burnt out from anxiety

When the adrenaline doesn't work anymore, it's time to try meth.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

Meth just makes you fail at jerking off for 72 hours straight. Nothing to see here

Like how I built a tolerance to Concerta?

I'm pretty sure my baseline cortisol levels could kill a small animal. And probably shortened my lifespan by a few years.

My AuDHD is flavored by several varieties of anxiety and crippling depression, the former undiagnosed for most of my life and the latter two only being treated sporadically. I've had my episodes of shining in times of chaos (usually at work) but my brain's go-to response is freeze.

It's not very effective.

That’s what drives me nuts about saying we “thrive” in stress. Equating being functional with doing well is so detrimental to our mental health, because we may be hitting deadlines but we are suffering miserably while doing so.
