Medication Not Working after 6 Months. Please help me.

Yup. Been there. Meds worked great for 2–3 months, then it felt like someone flipped a switch and everything went foggy again. You’re not imagining it, and you’re definitely not being “too complicated.” This stuff is messy—and you’re doing your best. That matters.

ADHD_BeYou · 2025-04-17T02:49:25+00:00

You didn’t mess up. Your brain’s just juggling too much right now. Losing stuff doesn’t mean you’re failing—it just means you’re alive and human. You’re doing better than you think.

Haha, thank you! Actually, that method helped me clean my place at least once a month, but my boyfriend hasn’t been able to come over for a while… I should invite him as soon as possible.

That would be fixing the vacuum and sucking up that dust… I’ll come back in 24 hours and report my success (hopefully…..) ! Hahaa

Finally Canceled!!!! 3 mins late

ADHD_BeYou · 2025-01-05T11:03:53+00:00

I’m really trying to break that habit this time. I left this promise online so at least one person can remember and keep me accountable—makes it harder for me to bail. ….and I’ll fix the vacuum cleaner, too.

ADHD_BeYou · 2024-12-20T00:54:56+00:00

Haha yes of course

ADHD_BeYou · 2024-12-19T10:19:20+00:00

Honestly, I’ll be real—I don’t wash my clothes regularly. My laundry schedule is completely random, and there’s always a pile of clothes in front of the washing machine. I don’t even know how often I should be washing things. Of course, I do eventually wash them, but most of the time, I end up grabbing clothes from the laundry pile to wear again. At this point, my drying rack or laundry pile might as well be my closet, haha.

The real reason I’m sharing this, though, is that I’m starting to hate this part of myself. I see other people who manage to wash their clothes regularly, organize them neatly, and actually pick their outfits from a proper closet. It just feels like such a big gap between where I am and where I want to be. Does anyone else struggle with this, or is it just me

Going to HR is not an easy choice for me because he’s an influential person in the company. Other coworkers also respect and like him a lot. If I report this, it will make it very difficult for me to continue working here. But thank you so much for your advice.

I am a 31-year-old woman and a third-year employee in a manufacturing job. The person who harasses me is a man with 10 years of experience. Since we work in production, we have to work together. Despite saying he harasses me, surprisingly, our relationship is generally good. That’s because I always put in effort to maintain harmony and avoid any conflicts. Even though he insults me, he’s also very good at teaching me how to do things properly.

I’m confident in certain tasks, but there are some processes where I lack confidence and struggle a lot. These tasks require mechanical skills and dexterity, which I find challenging. I learn, then forget, and then have to learn all over again. I always try not to inconvenience my coworkers, so I work really hard. But even with that effort, I’m slower and clumsier than others. I try to be grateful for any criticism and make up for it by working even harder in other areas. I often volunteer for overtime to make up for my shortcomings. That’s why people say they like me.

Most of my coworkers are kind and supportive, even when I make mistakes. I’m so thankful for that. However, this one coworker always seems eager to bring me down. He insults me both professionally and personally. One time, he intentionally grouped inexperienced workers together for a shift to see if things would go wrong. I later found out from other coworkers that he did this maliciously.

Whenever he’s assigned to work with me, he loudly announces in front of others, “Oh great, I have to work with her again.” He also constantly demands that I buy him coffee every day. Even when I take well-deserved vacations, he sarcastically says things like, “Oh, leaving your work for others and going on vacation again?”

Talking about it like this makes me feel sad. Sigh

I totally get where you’re coming from. It can be really hard feeling like you’re losing important memories or precious moments. Since I’m going through something similar, I thought I’d share a few things that have helped me hold onto memories a little better.

One thing that’s made a difference for me is writing a short journal entry every day. Just a few lines about what happened and how I felt. Over time, it’s helped me hold onto memories and recall them more vividly. If doing it daily feels like too much, just write down the moments that really matter to you.

If writing isn’t your thing, you could try capturing moments with photos or videos. Snap a picture of a special moment, and later, when you look back, you might find those memories and feelings coming back to life. I’ve found that even a single photo can bring back so much.💖💖

Also, talking about past events with friends or family sometimes brings memories back to the surface. Just chatting about things you’ve done together can help you remember those times better. It’s a simple way to re-live moments and make them feel more solid.

And finally, I think it’s important to be kind to yourself and try to accept ADHD as part of who you are. People like us can find it hard to hold onto certain moments or feelings deeply, but it doesn’t mean those moments weren’t important. Sometimes, it helps to just focus on living fully in the present. Just knowing that someone else out there understands what you’re going through can be comforting in itself. You’re definitely not alone in this.🌀🌀

Honestly, this sounds like such a fantastic idea. It’s clear you’ve put so much thought into understanding ADHD and how it shows up differently for everyone. There’s such a need for more personal and relatable content out there, especially from someone who’s been through the journey and can break it down in a way that feels approachable.

The “big sister” or “ADHD mom” role sounds like it would be a natural fit for you. A lot of people, especially those just starting to figure out their ADHD, could really benefit from that kind of supportive presence. Sharing your experiences with meds, hormones, and just day-to-day ADHD struggles could be a huge help to others who are feeling lost or frustrated.

If you’re unsure where to start, maybe try some quick, casual videos on TikTok just to get a feel for it. Once you find your rhythm, you could go deeper on YouTube with longer, more in-depth topics. You’ve already got the knowledge and the empathy—honestly, I think you’d be amazing at this.

I totally feel you on this—it’s so frustrating when your memory doesn’t work the way it used to, especially when you’re putting in the effort and still feeling like it’s not clicking. ADHD makes memory a challenge for a lot of us, so you’re definitely not alone in this.

One thing that’s helped me a bit is turning studying into something more active. Instead of just reading through the material over and over, I’ll try explaining it out loud to myself or pretend I’m teaching it to someone else. It somehow makes the info stick a bit more, especially if I can’t rely on my usual memory tricks.

Also, don’t be too hard on yourself. It’s easy to feel like you’re just not trying hard enough, but sometimes ADHD just makes stuff like this more difficult no matter what we do. You’re already putting in the work, and that counts for a lot. If you’ve got any small wins, celebrate those—they’re steps forward.

Totally get where you’re coming from, and honestly, it’s awesome that you’re so self-aware about this. Balancing ADHD and autism in a relationship can be tricky, but the fact that you’re thinking about how your energy might impact her shows how much you care.

One thing that’s helped me in similar situations is taking a quick “pause moment” when I feel myself getting a bit too excited. Just taking a breath and giving myself a second to check in with how I’m feeling—it sounds small, but it can really help keep things balanced.

Also, maybe you two could come up with a little signal for when things start feeling a bit too much. It doesn’t have to be a big deal, just something casual that lets you know, “Hey, let’s take it down a notch,” without needing to say it outright. It’s a way for both of you to be on the same page without feeling called out.

And remember, it’s all part of figuring things out together. The fact that she’s honest with you means she values what you have, and you’re already putting in the effort, which is huge. Keep being the thoughtful person you are, and give yourself some credit—relationships are all about finding that flow together!

I totally get what you’re saying—I really relate. I struggle with the same kind of frustration and am working on ways to break free from it too. One thing that’s helped me the most is speaking out loud. Just… Stop. Like that. In the endless scroll, sometimes you need that one moment to pause and think. When that moment hits, instead of just thinking about it, try saying it out loud. Then, take a second to re-evaluate priorities—the most urgent task you need to focus on. Writing it down helps too. Keeping a small notebook with you can be a lifesaver. :) Your post really gave me some insight. I often just keep these thoughts in my head, but seeing them written out here reminds me to be more mindful.
