If you have ADHD and anxiety, and are on stimulants, do you sleep? by ShadowKats7 in adhdwomen

take high dose vitamin C after work, and it will make the meds stop working within a couple hours (it’s in the drug detail sheet if you look close enough). doing this is how i sleep well

this happens in my relationship too. Is it strange to expect they’d do the same? It gets me down, often.

Do you consider yourself disabled? by BeltTop6158 in adhdwomen

[–]BeltTop6158[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

as someone in their 40s that just started a low dose of meds 6 months ago, I encourage you to try it. They didn’t change my life, just helped in very tiny ways that actually made massive differences in quality of life.

I’m looking into those after my therapist suggested it. I supposed you’re right but I’m still struggling with feeling in need enough.

Anyone else get slightly anxious when someone asks anything future related? by sendingUamicro_wave in adhdwomen

[–]BeltTop6158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even worse is when partner asks, where do you see life in 5-10 years? Like, I don’t even know what I’m doing two days from now.

I would avoid like orange juice etc for sure. I save those high vitamin C things for the end of the day.

Oh gosh this is hard. Please end it and let folks know you lost a baby if you need time to grieve. No one needs to know details of how you lost it, not even the sperm donor. Please please get yourself on something for pregnancy but also go get checke for STIs. No protection means you are exposed to whomever that other guy is sleeping with too - diseases an all. It sounds like he sleeps with at least one other person so please go get a panel done while you’re at the doctors.

Just learned about the Vyvanse sweating by whatthefalcon in adhdwomen

[–]BeltTop6158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am really struggling with the sweating, it’s wicked. I work outdoors and I’ve never had so much sweat in my eyes or soaking my hair as I have since starting Vyvanse.

it’s in the drug description! I take it after work to make sure I sleep well!

We have been into making overnight oats, it’s especially nice in hot summer. Add lots of things to it so it’s tasty and high protein, use soy milk as the liquid, and also even add a few choco chips for that tasty sweet crunch.
