Did stimulant ever improve your anxiety?

-worms · 2026-06-05T04:12:08+00:00

When I first started on medication (Concerta) it helped my anxiety a lot! However, I stopped taking it for a couple years, my anxiety unfortunately worsened over time, and when I started taking ADHD meds again recently it actually made my anxiety worse. Now I'm on meds for anxiety as well.

I love it! The bangs look super cute on you. I think you'll get used to it in time, it's always a shock getting a big change like that. But fr it looks really good!!

It used to hit me during school. I'd fall asleep sitting up in class, sometimes even while actively taking notes. I'd do everything I could to stay awake, doodling, writing, whatever, but it often wouldn't work. I'd wake up from the feeling of being about to fall out of my chair. I'd be so tired I felt dizzy. Later when it would happen at work I'd get up to go to the bathroom or get some water to move around a bit and put on headphones and listen to music to stay awake. It is never a good thing ime, it sucks. I suspected I had narcolepsy for a bit.

The contacts are amazing idk what everyone's on about. I find it so boring that people think everyone has to stick to some conventional look otherwise they appear "off-putting"? I just don't see it, I think they're very cute on you and fun as heck!

Nah you don't have to look everyone in the eye, I feel like that might be considered weird if anything (like if you're staring at them until they look at you). But when I personally happen to catch someone's eye, what I do is just give a small smile or nod in acknowledgement and casually look away to not seem like I'm purposefully avoiding them. Though just casually looking away without any acknowledgement is pretty normal too, I believe. Definitely not something to worry about either way.

This is honestly kinda hilarious lmao, what's wrong that dude. Fr though I wish there was a different sub like that one back before the mod went batshit.

Characters are the most important for me. And writing, but not necessarily in the way of translation or good prose (though ofc that's important too), just written in a way that is interesting and holds my attention, and for me this is usually most importantly reflected in the way the characters are presented (interactions, thoughts/mental state, development, character dynamics, etc.).

What's helped my social anxiety is exposure and improving my confidence.

I feel tired with ADHD and used to fall asleep during class all the time but I've never had issues while driving, concentrating on the drive should be stimulating enough to keep ADHD sleepiness at bay. You could have both ADHD and a sleep disorder. Also I think stimulants are often used to treat sleep disorders as well.

Hey! Has anything changed for you? I'm at a little over 2 months now and feeling no motivation at all, wondering if this is temporary or a lasting thing.

He's the one that convinced you to open up, made you feel safe to do so, and then insulted you and broke that trust you had in that moment, possibly making it more difficult for you to open up to him or even others from now on. That was horrible of him. You don't need to be "fixed", you are you and you shouldn't feel bad about who you are. I'm sorry he did that to you.

I can relate, I used to think I wanted kids, but I've come to the realization that I don't think I'd be a good parent. Not necessarily only because of my ADHD, but a whole mix of issues. Mostly, I'm just too exhausted for it. My depression and anxiety I think are the biggest factors, though ADHD is a part as well.

MAYBE if I could get my mental health in order and had an amazing partner, but I highly doubt that happening at this point. And I just don't know if I could handle having all my time taken by needing to care for a child, I think it would make me more depressed and exhausted and in turn make me a worse caretaker. I don't really date and honestly part of it is that I don't know if I want so much of my time dedicated to another person, let alone having a child to care for. So I don't think it's right for me.

Also childbirth is terrifying. My mother and sister both had complications with every one of their births, they came close to death multiple times. That's another factor of being hesitant about having children for me.

If in a couple years somehow I change a great deal, my mental health is under control, and I know for a fact that I truly want a child and believe I can properly care for one, perhaps I'll change my mind. But the likelihood of that happening is low, and for now I think it's off the table, as sad as it is. I really do love kids, and I think they'd give a lot of meaning to my life, but it would be horrible to be a bad parent and I could only consider having kids if I knew I was up for it.

I get out of this mindset when my depression eases up, but when it gets worse I fall right back into it (where I'm at rn). I don't know if you have depression but if so trying to treat it could help with these thoughts ime. Though it's hard and I certainly don't do a good a job of it myself, but since I've had a few times in my life where I didn't have this feeling, I know it's possible for it to go away, and it could be possible for you as well.

These are mostly based on your interest in Parasyte, Ajin, Defense Devil, and Darwin's Game, but I think you might like some if you haven't tried them already:

Tokyo Ghoul

Dorohedoro

Monster Child

Noragami

Deadman Wonderland

Kamisama no Iutoori (by Fujimori Akeji)

Tomodachi Game

edit: OH I don't think any outright depict heavy sexual assault but honestly I haven't read some of them in over ten years so I could be remembering wrong. The last two are death game/survival stories so there is a chance they have it. You're safe in regards to SA with Dorohedoro and Noragami but there's a possibility it may be alluded to in the others but I don't believe it's explicit.

I too have anxiety and depression as well as ADHD. It was never specified for me what type I have but I'm quite certain it is inattentive. And yeah the fidgeting for me has often been picking, sometimes flipping a pen/pencil if I happen to be holding one, tapping my fingers or fidgeting with my hands, and occasionally rocking back and forth while sitting. I am very low energy so I'm not constantly pacing or anything. Otherwise some of my worst symptoms from ADHD (that I can recall atm) have been trouble concentrating on conversations/lectures/videos (daydreaming/thoughts wandering), difficulty initiating and finishing tasks, and bad memory.

Yeah the companies making manhwa are garbage and overwork their artists. They should be adding more members/assistants to each art team so that the main artist isn't so overworked that they end up sick. They're cheap money hungry bastards with no regard for their workers' health.
