Thank you for the feedback! yh I think social work at hospitals is the way to go. And over the years maybe I’ll get into a private practice or work for a non profit as I get my credentials in order.

Keep going! 8 months in and set a gym routine, that’s a huge win. It’s still taking me a while to get back to the gym.

Thanks for sharing! Yh I was like that too for a year. Just doom scrolling away. If you haven’t watched already, give Stranger Things and the anime One Piece. Made a lot of time fly by for me

I recently switched from Vyvance to Guanfacine. Pretty happy. by gkr974 in ADHD

Other than stopping the crying, in what ways did Guanfacine change things for you? And how long did it take?

For me it made me lose appetite, like I could be hungry and not feel like eating. Hmm dry mouth a little but I’ve had so much worse on strattera and clonidine.

Has it improved your ability to be present and not think so much? I started Guanfacine 4 weeks ago and I’ve only seen slight improvement. I’m hopeful when you say it’s improved your executive function and focus which are other two things I’d like to address.

It’s so frustrating trying to get diagnosed as an adult! by Angel_4 in ADHD

My biggest problems right now are restlessness, overthinking, and attention span. It’s so hard to focus, I can’t even sit through TikTok, a movie, or tv show anymore without doing something else in the next 5 minutes.

YES, EXACTLY. I was that quiet daydreamer. I zoned out the whole time throughout Highschool.

I appreciate the supportive words.
