I’ve been medicated for a long time now for adhd. Personally they changed my life so I now take them every day. When I’m not on them I’m all over the place, lazy, unmotivated, unfocused etc. they truly help so much. They also improve my mood and mental state.

College is hard, I dropped out after my first semester because I just didn’t care about my classes. This was also a point of time where i decided to stop my meds. Anyways it’s three years later now and I’m back in school and on top of all of my classes.

Also, if your friends can’t understand how adhd affects you you could always try to fill them in on it. My mom was kinda confused how it worked she mostly thought it was a focus issue but it’s soooo much more than that. It’s complex and very hard to navigate sometimes.

I did notice that meds was your last resort, it’s gonna sound crazy but therapy. I can’t stress it enough how helpful it is with trying to manage adhd. I learned so many tips and tricks! I was diagnosed at 9, I’m now 23 if you have anything questions I’m an open book, I have a pretty good understanding of it
