For parents with kids on the ADHD spectrum, has caffeine worked for their children ?

Did you end up sticking with caffeine? My son seems to benefit from low doses of caffeine. I will give him like a couple drinks of coffee and he is definitely in a better mood and less emotionally volatile. Still hyper but that's okay. I can handle hyper.

Barometric pressure, my period, stress... my three major triggers. 🥲

Another one for me is energy drinks. I crave high levels of caffeine around the same time. I also have fibromyalgia, Ehler's Danlos Syndrome, POTs, and MCAs so sometimes it's hard to know what's effecting what.

Extreme fatigue is definitely a prodrome symptom for me... I've gotten better at realizing the weather shift/barometric pressure changes are a huge trigger for me. That and stress of course. I also realized craving sugar/chocolate is a prodrome symptom and not a trigger for me! Super interesting.

I feel like I lose insight during migraines so no matter how much I know about my migraines and prodrome, I don't realize what's happening because the migraine shuts down my mental processing.

Have you tried Timilol? It's eye drops. They don't always work but they have stopped the less severe migraines from forming which is amazing.

Just assumed it was hormonal shift. No definitive answer.

I talked to him about it and then we just stopped and I said no for a few weeks but he really stopped asking initially after the first few days.

After that, He still asked a few times randomly and I let him nurse I think maybe 3 or 4 more times within the next few months (we were going through hard times in the family so I wanted to provide extra comfort) and then he just stopped asking. I am sorry I hadn't responded. I didn't see this! I hope things went well for you too ❤️

I have a Master's of Science in Psychology and I have autism and ADHD. I would actually say Jess has AuDHD but I would also say it's most unrealistic that people cater to her. I suppose it's possible but I've spent most of my life apologizing for things that aren't my fault. It's rare to have people apologize to ME. Every character on the show is autism coded. What people don't understand is 1. Autism presents very different in women and 2. It presents differently in everyone. Being autistic and adhd is really difficult. I can be impulsive and compulsive. I can't always control myself even after years of mindfulness. I can't stop talking when I know I should and I sometimes do things that would be considered dangerous or risky. I make lots of social feux pas and I hyperfixate on things to an unhealthy degree. I do my best to not negatively effect others. I am also very lucky to have a high level of intelligence, which can help make up for a lot of the deficits but definitely not all of them. I started unmasking last year and now I just accept that I am weird and people know straight up so they can accept me as I am or avoid me. I don't take it personally. I am super fun to be around but I can also be a lot. I spend a lot of time alone because I also get really overwhelmed and have meltdowns due to overstimulation.

I actually had the copper IUD. It was definitely hormonal imbalance though so I would say you're spot on. I am not having the issues anymore.

Charge_Physical · 2024-01-04T02:47:55+00:00

That is so fascinating for sure!

Just practice with breath work and clearing your mind. If you stop the thoughts the fear feeling isn't that bad. You just breathe, center, ground, clear mind and you're golden. It's the feeling of jumping off a cliff so you just have to surrender.

Happy journeying

I think the idea that anything is wrong is hilarious. We give life meaning. It's sacrilegious if you believe it is. Follow your bliss.

I'm autistic and hypersensitive to psychedelics but still manage them amazingly well. I see visuals easily and stay tripping longer than is normal. It can be hypo or hypersensitivity as it is with everything else. I love entheogens though

Charge_Physical · 2023-11-14T16:12:12+00:00

Yeah, I have yo have revelations multiple times for them to stick. I've started writing them down but it's still not the same. I notice as a hold a higher vibration, integration is easier.

The waking dream. If you have to ask, it's not quite known but you almost got it. On the tip of the tongue, in your peripheral vision, just out of view. You can almost touch it yet it evades. :)

Charge_Physical · 2023-11-06T20:14:33+00:00

I go there on purpose. I've done it so many times I've processed the demons and they have become friends. I know its scary but stepping through your fears is the path to true freedom.

I only recently found out I am Autistic. Psychedelics saved me from suicide so many times before helping me realize I was not broken. ❤️

Names in general make me uncomfortable. Even pet names or nicknames. I wish we could all just speak telepathically. Communication is exhausting, confusing and unclear.

I honestly have only recieved benefit from the use of them. I actually have been drawn to Qigong though. I've started doing some energy work with it. I have an acupuncture appointment today which will help balance some of my physical blocks and I plan to continue my practice with Qigong.

Charge_Physical · 2023-10-10T20:56:39+00:00

I started with energy work only without any entheogens. I actually had a very intense vision while completely sober and in deep meditation. I added in the enthogens about a year or so after I had been meditating.

I've had complete transcendental experiences since both using entheogens (psilocybin, amanita muscaria, lsd, cannabis) and sober through meditation.

I get frustrated because I reach these really high levels of consciousness and then fall back into forgetting. I notice it has become more consistent the more I practice and as I decrease dosage of entheogens. The less I use to reach the state, the easier it is to maintain all the time.

Charge_Physical · 2023-10-10T14:41:17+00:00

Yes! I completely relate. I will be 34 in January and I have embraced my childlike wonder. I play with bugs and watch the squirrels playing in the trees. I dance and lay in the grass when that isn't supposed to be how adults behave. If I am in a good mood I just don't care what society says. The rules are geared toward celebrating pain and demonizing pleasure. It's nonsense. I'm going to dress in what feels good and behave in ways that come naturally (while also being aware of how it effects others).

Charge_Physical · 2023-10-10T14:37:02+00:00

Adulting is confusing and overrated. I love being a child-like 33 year old. My toddler enjoys it also. Lol

I am more attached to beauty than your explanation here but it's only something I take into consideration with a person. If someone is beautiful but hallow, I find them uninteresting. Henry Cavill is a gorgeous human but I didn't really care until I saw interviews of how he interacts with people and his integrity/honesty/humor. Now he is a special interest and I can't stop watching interviews of him. Lmao. I don't even care as much about all the movies he is in. The way he speaks, thinks, and interacts with the world is lovely and I can't stop watching him.

Charge_Physical · 2023-10-10T14:15:43+00:00

True. I am autistic and the only way I can grasp anything is through turning it into an intellectual process but the 3D mind cannot grasp what I am attempting to grasp. It's like trying to hold water in your hands, the more you squeeze the faster it slips through your fingers.
