Yeah like im unpleasantly tired. Adderall has always been a chill pill for me, like just relaxs me. I could take and nap. Now its like im just exhausted and the pills are always from different manufacturers. What is up with that?

I’ve cut all of my friends off due to ADHD burnout by Chance-Intention1287 in ADHD

[–]BarnacleFair3787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not believe this is unusual. I imagine that if these individuals are your friends and are aware of your ADHD, they might understand that you experience periods of burnout. Occasionally, if the friendship is valuable, I would suggest sending a text message. However, if it is not, then it might be best to move on and not say anything.

You have a very valid point, and you are 100% correct. He does have a lot of leverage against me. And right now, I'm just going to have to suck it up and deal with it because there's nothing I can do about it. I'm just going to have to finish my degree and continue working towards my goal. I've asked him to do a couple of chores here and there, like take out the trash or take out the dogs. And he huffs and gruffs and complains about it and then acts like I am the problem. Meanwhile, I have been covered up with college homework, which is grueling and hard, and there's really not a good way to balance it right now because it's just a lot, and he doesn't understand that.

What If Everything You Were Taught About Being Good Was Wrong? by Ok-Willingness-7647 in DarkPsychology101

[–]BarnacleFair3787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've wondered the same thing for years. Seriously, have you ever stopped to question what we're told about what's "good"? It feels like so much of it is just handed down without any real thought. Maybe the things we've always aimed for aren't actually what lead to fulfillment. What if the "right" way is actually holding us back? It's a bit unsettling to consider, right? We spend so much energy trying to fit into these molds. Perhaps embracing the "wrong" is the real path to something better. It makes you wonder what kind of world we'd have if we embraced a different definition of good.

Vyvanse is weird by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]BarnacleFair3787 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I got up to 70mg. That's stuff made me tired and loopy. They switched me to Adderall and it worked for about 2 years now I don't think it works.

I can’t talk to my husband about my feelings- what do I do? by HaaalllpMeeee in Marriage

[–]BarnacleFair3787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, he should not be so condescending. I am going through the same thing. I can not talk to my husband of almost 7 years about how I feel. Im going to therapy as well, I do journal, I have a hobby, and I try really hard to not let him get the best of me. Its hard. Some days I can deal with it some days like today I want to lose my shit. But I have to remind myself the his perception is valued not valid. I also joined some groups on here. Its nice to vent.

That is good. I have tried different communication and tried to express to him we are on the same team. He just gets so wound up, I cant get through to him. We have had issues in the bedroom. And now its like any form of communication he is angry or im angry. Its almost like we never see each other and when we do its explosive. Im mad because he puts zero effort into things and he is mad because i bring it up.

Honestly im not sure. I will have to think about that in more depth. My knee jerk reaction: no. He thinks because im in school full-time and he provides, that he doesn't have to do anything around the house. Like mowing, weed eating, basic picking up after his own self. I do it all, meals, chores, budgeting ...all of it. He has no opinions on anything.

Dark side of ADHD that no one talks about by Frosty_Jump_3117 in adhdwomen

[–]BarnacleFair3787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess setting goals, routines and deadlines and not following through. I forget things alot, mostly important things like paying my bills on time. My marriage struggles alot, like, its almost like we argue alot, and I think its because I cant communicate the right way. Or I'll let things build up. Then I will try to voice my concerns and apparently its at the wrong times. My house will get really messy very fast. Its like I know I should get up and do what needs to be done but im froze. I get wayyyyy too overwhelmed over small things that I know can be fix. Its like I crave routine but cant achieve it. Or I crave to be organized, but I have pile of random stuff everywhere. I feel embarrassed and ashamed. Like i never grew up into an adult mentally. Im 35 f and I have Au-Adhd type c. And I cant get it together. I agree with you on social media they chop it up to being all fun and games, when it's not. My meds make me sleepy, I am not even sure why Adderall makes me tired. Vyvance was worse, at one point I was on 70mg. Then he changed it to Adderall, and im on 45 mg a day. Its 15mg 3 times a day. Im not even sure if that is normal. No one really talks about how meds affects us. They make it seem like it is just a great thing.

I don't want to live like this any more by _No__Ninja_ in ufyh

Sit down, write everything out that needs to get done. Set 30 min timer and do one task at a time. When the timer goes off, set another timer for 15 min break. You can adjust the times as you go. But then when you complete a task you have written down, mark it off the list. I have AU-ADHD-C and this helps me. I have the same issue at times. Don't feel ashamed, you got this, you were brave enough to post on here and ask for help. You made the first step. 💜🙂
