Hey that is so kind of you to offer these insights. They help me a lot. Can I just ask about your gender/body? I am cis male.
I love how you formulate your experience, it really gives a lot of food for thought and hope.
I’m glad my experiences can help!
I’ve no problem sharing gender and body info: I’m cis female.
I definitely went through a bit of a period of questioning when I realised the differences between my pre and post medicated experience. Afaik a lot of newly medicated folk go through a stage of coming to terms with the effects of the medication on their life.
Personally, I felt a lot of grief about ‘what else has changed’ for a little while. Not just in my sexual experiences, but even the need to take medication. There was a lot of internalised able-ism I had to work through as well.
Ultimately, your experience with diagnosis and medication will be your own, but there’s a big community of fellow adhd-ers that can chime in and possibly help support you with whatever you’re experiencing.
There’s always hope. :)
Yeah thanks! I don't mind taking (the right) medication. I've taken my share of dumb meds that did more harm than good. So if vyvanse can help, I'd be stoked.
I hope that you are in a better space now. Good luck
Thanks for the kind words! I’m in a much better space these days. :)
I wish you all the ease and abundance possible for your journey forward. <3
Thank you <3
