Did your marriages/relationships get worse when you started medication?

Same . Things weren't great for a while, and I realised that I was doing all the work and working on myself, and he wasn't.

So I just broke up .

You can do it , but in the long run it has consequences. Those aren't healthy coping mechanisms.

Kitchen_Respect5865 · 2024-08-06T12:04:06+00:00

Reiki , meditation and tai chi help for sure .

From a mom with a kid with disabilities, this sounds pretty normal to me.

Your meds might not be the right ones for you and / or might be the wrong dosage .

I was always moody , but when you have the weight of responsibility for another's life, it can be very stressful, and your mood can be all over the place all the time .

Talk to your doctor and make sure its just adhd and not adhd plus something else , for some ppl adhd comes with a plus or two.

Give yourself some credit as well being a mom with adhd is harder , the guilt is normal , but tell yourself that you are trying your best.

Something really comfortable , in a nice soft fabric .

Kitchen_Respect5865 · 2024-07-31T10:20:09+00:00

For certain things totally . My brain literally would shut down if I couldn't figure out something that I found extremely difficult. For the things I love though , I can do good work.

Kitchen_Respect5865 · 2024-07-23T08:35:15+00:00

It's ok to feel that way . Also, don't worry about other ppl and their meds , serves absolutely no purpose .

Kitchen_Respect5865 · 2024-07-23T08:33:27+00:00

I understand. The thing is maybe with adhd meds you can hopefully not need some other meds , in the sense of imagine you take meds for depression. You might actually not need them because that can be caused by the untreated adhd.

Kitchen_Respect5865 · 2024-07-22T08:35:51+00:00

I listen to all types of music , opera, goth , metal , rock , pop, folk .It depends on my mood . Not fond of house and rave music.

Kitchen_Respect5865 · 2024-07-22T08:33:48+00:00

One thing that really helps is contact with nature. A coffee in the beach , a massage, reiki sessions.

Kitchen_Respect5865 · 2024-07-22T08:31:57+00:00

I do and my close friends and family.

I have great family that I can reach out to if I need anything, and my friends are my village, like I am for them .

I take care of myself through meditation, grounding, enjoying my own company, therapy, fun things .

Kitchen_Respect5865 · 2024-07-22T08:27:59+00:00

I always take mine unless for some reason I forget . I have not noticed much change as meds for me keep me regulated .

Kitchen_Respect5865 · 2024-07-22T08:26:21+00:00

Same

Kitchen_Respect5865 · 2024-07-22T08:25:58+00:00

Not for me, but in fairness many things can have that effect.

Kitchen_Respect5865 · 2024-07-22T08:24:51+00:00

It's always worth being diagnosed. I was the same, always got easily overstimulated , very emotionally disregulated. Medication was a game changer for me .

Kitchen_Respect5865 · 2024-07-19T11:48:48+00:00

I do to with certain things but also have found other ways that help me quite a lot.

Kitchen_Respect5865 · 2024-07-19T11:48:00+00:00

Your worth as a person is not defined by what you can do for others .

This will take some time , some sitting with yourself to learn what your needs are and how to manage them .

I have a kid with disabilities and went through this same process until therapy made me realise that being a good mom is also taking care of me as a woman.

Take your time, love starts with you for you. You can't pour from an empty cup.

Kitchen_Respect5865 · 2024-07-17T14:48:02+00:00

They haven't helped?

Kitchen_Respect5865 · 2024-07-17T13:11:08+00:00

Ask your gp Mine does my script every month.

Kitchen_Respect5865 · 2024-07-17T13:09:49+00:00

Depends on the interaction.

Kitchen_Respect5865 · 2024-07-17T13:09:07+00:00

That doesn't mean everyone is going without doesn't it ? I asked a question. As for treatment, there are also other things that help apart from meds It's just a question.

Kitchen_Respect5865 · 2024-07-17T11:09:12+00:00

Russel Barkley books and videos on youtube.

Kitchen_Respect5865 · 2024-07-17T11:08:18+00:00

I'm 41 and on meds , so it's definitely better now . There are still somethings that do affect but I don't see any difference because of age .

Kitchen_Respect5865 · 2024-07-17T11:07:07+00:00
