My ADHDudes! Meds are coming back in stock
(feddit.uk)
Apologies...I appear to be singing?
Or the "step-by-step" guides that are missing a step. Or assume a bunch of knowledge. If you don't tell me I need to download a special compiler to install this thing, it's not step-by-step.
I found one the other day that failed to mention that I had to put some code in config to make it work. But they had put a screenshot of the code they used, just hadn't referenced it in the steps ๐.
I've also seen one of the main devs respond to a user on GitHub saying that the bug they were seeing was not a bug because it was caused by the third-party system and "that's just how it is". Completely ignored the fact that the user could not achieve the intended behaviour from the integration. Was this information anywhere in the notes? Of course not.
*prescription meth.
But yes, cook some up in a camper van dammit!
I figured staying with dexamphetamine would give me the most similar effects.
Seeing how it was such a positive effect, I was nervous to try something completely different.
I'll just have to set reminders to re-up my dose throughout my day.
Hello fellow UK friend!
I found a private provider very easily. Google should be able to help you there.
But yes, also expensive ๐.
I have found it to be worth the cost. YMMV. But can't put a price on healthy functioning.
I'm 38. Diagnosed with combined (everything) type ADHD 2 months ago.
The experience for being on meds for me has been life changing. I'm on elvanse (vivanse in the US). It's like suddenly being in the driver's seat of my own mind. The guy that was driving before was an idiot. I can now just choose to do stuff.
What struck me is that not only are you playing on hard mode, but everyone else is playing on easy mode and telling you it's hard mode. "Life is hard" means something completely different to everyone else.
Definitely try it again. Medicating ADHD is really well understood and incredibly successful for so many people. I think it's insane not to give it a go and see if it's right for you.
The stigma around being medicated is completely backwards imo.
Yeah I think about this one a fair bit.
Let's compare hyperfocus to an actual super power, like the ability to fly: "I can fly" "Oh that's so cool! Can you show me" "No. I don't get to decide when it starts" "Oh" "Or when it stops for that matter. Or even where I'm going" "That sounds... debilitating" "Yes"
This is hyperfocus. You can't decide when to hyperfocus. Or when it should stop. Or what you're going to focus on. It is not particularly helpful.

I may or may not refer to him as Captain Daddy.
Also; SNW's Spock is Daddy Spock in my head (mostly since the musical episode).
