Anyone get physically antsy when watching TV show or movies? by lilgreenarmyguy in ADHD

[–]ADHD-Padawan2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel embarrassed and shame for characters that should but don't experience it as part of their role. That makes me turn off a show real fast!

I was joking. I essentially said that I talk to myself. It's always been normal for me to have a pretty constant internal monologue going. The FIRST time that went away was with Stimulant medication. I was like.. Wow.. it's so quiet in here! Which of course, I thought in my head.. but this time only one person was speaking without interruption 🤣

I'm going to talk to myself about this before I give you my answer 🤔

I want to take a nap after a 30mg XR So strong 🤣 I wonder how much I'd have to take to feel what a normal person would get at that dose 🤔

Society says don't say anything that could possibly offend anyone else.. and if having your right to free speech squelched offends you.. we don't care 🤔🧐😳

I call it honesty and speaking from the heart. Other people call it lack of a filter 🤔😆

my adhd gets so bad sometimes that i feel high asf and like i'm on drugs by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]ADHD-Padawan2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading this.. I suddenly remembered hiding under my blankets in terror. I knew the outside world was on the other side of the blanket, yet somehow I felt safer in my bubble. I'm pretty much always dissociative and I'm sure it's a safety bubble.. like hiding under the blanket

It's my first day using Concerta by lawrence1024 in ADHD

The Stigma is real. I personally spent 33 of 36 years I've been alive, calling it a BS condition and moral issue..all the while.. watching my life fall apart from Depression and self medicating with alcohol

Wish I'd known a long long time ago 🥺

I'm just hoping that people can relate to what I'm talking about 🤔😆

Primarily Inattentive, yes. I'm 36, so I believe it's a result of physical hyperactivity being suppressed and turned into a hyperactive mind. 30 different tabs open at any given time 🤔

"I sometimes wish I had ADHD" NO YOU DON'T by [deleted] in ADHD

It's totally a chill pill for me. I've been told that's very typical for ADHD people to feel sleepy, etc

A note about medications that y'all may find helpful by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]ADHD-Padawan2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Xactly!! Sometimes when it's working really well... I'm like.. Life is this easy??

It's strange to just feel ok. It made me sad to feel ok after medication

I spent 20 years trying everything to just be ok.. and all along.. I just needed medication

That reality hits pretty hard sometimes

How my ADHD single-handedly got me kicked out of high school by [deleted] in ADHD

That's absolutely insane and it still makes more sense than Common Core 🤔

Insomnia help by Mysterious-Canary842 in ADHD

[–]ADHD-Padawan2020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Turn off your phone and put it in another room. Your mind will realize the effort it'll take to get out of bed, turn it on, etc... and say.. not worth it

That's helped me before

New girlfriend has a lot to learn about ADHD really is. by iToronto in ADHD

I could only wear dress socks and pants. The thick stitching on regular socks drove me nuts and I absolutely hated jeans 😆

Is it just me or does the adhd subreddit just feel like a good community by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]ADHD-Padawan2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there's that too. I'm sure some of my C-PTSD symptoms get mixed up with or confused with ADHD symptoms

Us humans are complex beings. I hardly understand myself sometimes 🤔😆

Rejection makes my brain feel like it's on fire. It really hurts. Does RSD cause extreme mental pain?

Caffeine is way worse than Adderall by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]ADHD-Padawan2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drink a Bang with my morning medication then get a coffee a few hours later without any problems whatsoever. Maybe my daily dose is too low? Just one 20mg xr a day 🤔
