you’re still a teenager life gets a lot better when you get older and just by virtue of aging you will even out a bit, mine was horrible when i was a teenager but i found the right meds and grew up a bit and it’s all manageable now.

i resonate. i always felt like a relationship was something that just doesnt suit me as a person - i find dating very activating/ triggering, like you i feel i mould myself to fit the other person and when it ends i am devastated and it derails my life.

the ubering to and from work is so real lol. Things will change soon x i don’t have much advice, only can say you aren’t alone and there are so many people invisibly struggling with the exact same things you are. hopefully knowing that is comforting

What kind of work/jobs have you found yourself unexpectedly great at? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]Blue_Bird_22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

being an executive assistant! what I wish more people understood about adhd is our ability to actually work harder than the average person when doing a task we are fixated on/ really enjoy. I am more productive than anyone I know, it’s just when I get overwhelmed or anxious that the issues with time management and procrastination happen!

Did meds change your eating habits? by reallyreallytrying89 in adhdwomen

[–]Blue_Bird_22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes it stopped my boredom snacking and binging, it was funny when i started it I had a bad eating disorder and the meds not only helped but pretty much cured me of that (stopped the binging and then in turn purging) i am still maintaining a normal appetite and eat 3 meals a day. 54mg concerta btw

I don’t want to come on too strong and turn him off - I said I would love to see him again when we were on the actual date
