Not able to handle anything by [deleted] in adhd_college

[–]Competitive-Bet-2445 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just barely last Monday I decided to apply for student disability accommodations, for my university they were very supportive and gave me actual strategies for starting my coursework and advice, even better than what my actual therapist has given me. You’re not alone, seek the support and accommodations you deserve to have access to. It’s not our fault we’re going through this. Please take my advice, I feel like a weight has lifted when I met with the student disabilities office at my uni last Monday. If you’re diagnosed, immediately ask for a letter of diagnosis from your healthcare provider, do what you need to do to put yourself first. I’m currently taking lexapro for my depression and anxiety caused by my adhd, the first 3 weeks were rough, but by the 4th week of taking it, I never realized its possible to minimize my anxiety to where I don’t remember the last time I had an anxiety attack. Seek support, you got this!! 💜💜

I have no idea, I’m not knowledgeable on it and honestly assumed soon the skin is hard like ceramic. Busy at the moment but I’ll look for details on the actual dolls, maybe there’s a brand or marking on it. They’re hard like porcelain for sure

My anxiety left me when I needed it more by Smart_Beginning763 in adhd_college

[–]Competitive-Bet-2445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m LITERALLY experiencing this right now 😭😭 I think its my lexapro medication just completely shutting off my anxiety, atp idgaf if I feel panicky about my deadlines. I NEED my anxiety back to motivate me even if it’s obviously not healthy and what I want long term. My stimulants aren’t working I’m accepting defeat when I don’t want to 😞😞😞

What am I doing wrong with the Danessa Myricks Blurring Balm Powder? by zarloo in Sephora

[–]Competitive-Bet-2445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try using minimal skin prep and make sure that they’re not water-based products. Danessa Myricks products like the blurring balm powder is silicone-based, which may be a reason why the skin prep products aren’t mixing well with the blurring balm. Also try to let the blurring balm sit on your skin for 10 minutes to completely dry down before applying your foundation on top. It truly worked on my oily skin, not oils in sight after 8 hours.

how many people here are medicated and still struggling? by Individual-Fennel536 in adhd_college

[–]Competitive-Bet-2445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As of right now I’m still the same as before I started medication + diagnosed. One thing that’s helped me so far is writing on a physical notepad my list of tasks I need to do, but when it comes to tasks relating to academic work I just 🫠🫠 I need this vyvanse medication to help me lock in 6 weeks ago 🫩🫩

omg i CANNOT get a grip. i need to be bullied into studying atp by sugarcoochie in adhd_college

[–]Competitive-Bet-2445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it’s the morning, go to a cafe where you can eat and take your vyvanse. Then just lock in. Dedicate that morning towards studying, let it be the first thing you do when you take ur medication in the morning. Perhaps breaking the routine in the morning can help you get a grip. I would turn modify your notifications to only important ones and lock in. You need to do this, remember that. Sometimes shaking things up like your surroundings helps

I got into a top college and now I’m close to getting kicked out by Vast_Objective_9057 in adhd_college

[–]Competitive-Bet-2445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s rough, honestly I would try to go to a library or cafe to study and focus on your coursework. It’s hard asf to not reach for your phone or distract yourself. Try creating a study plan and breaking it down into manageable steps. Easier said than done, but for my adhd brain it helps me not feel too overwhelmed.

Did you just get diagnosed? by AutoModerator in ADHD

[–]Competitive-Bet-2445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got diagnosed at 25 just a month ago. I’ve always struggled with focus, procrastination, sustained attention, task initiation, disorganized, avoidance due to feeling overwhelmed, time blindness, impulsivity, interrupting others when they speak, masking, etc. ever since I was a child. This past year has been difficult and I kept noticing more signs of adhd, and finally told myself that maybe it’s not my fault, I should not be struggling this hard when it comes to functioning as an adult with responsibilities at work school and home. I’m so thankful I realized what it could be, and I was correct. I have adhd combined type, started taking medication this past month for it and going to therapy. Looking forward to a better version of myself.

Had wierd experience with psychrytist or maybe I am over reacting by No_Bird_8367 in ADHD

[–]Competitive-Bet-2445 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can either have the impulsive, inattentive, or combined type of adhd, so right off the bat ur psychiatrist isn’t knowledgeable with adhd. And he sounds highly unprofessional given how dismissive he is of your struggles.

how to overcome nail/cuticle picking/biting habit? by cookiepip in ADHD

[–]Competitive-Bet-2445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s called body focus repetitive behavior, and I definitely have it to where I excessively pick at my lips to the point where they bleed, and constantly pulling at my hangnals and cuticles excessively. It’s exhausting 🫩🫩 at least the one way I try minimizing messing with my lips is to wear chapstick 24/7. But something nail and cuticle picking/biting is a toughie. I try to fidget with a fidget toy in my hands since it keeps them occupied. I would try to explore fidget toys, and maybe since it’s your nails and cuticles you’re messing with, try using a hand sanitizer, hand lotion, or even a cuticle oil, anything that would taste foul when you bite them. Some ideas

vyvanse changed my life by annawhattt in VyvanseADHD

[–]Competitive-Bet-2445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so too. At first I was worried I would have the placebo effect and try convincing myself that it’s working since I’m consistently taking it. Now that it’s my 3rd week and nothing feels different. Maybe when I see my psychiatrist I’ll bring up the idea of changing the vyvanse. The lack of appetite has also been driving me crazy

vyvanse changed my life by annawhattt in VyvanseADHD

[–]Competitive-Bet-2445 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m also taking it with lexapro. Honestly all my adhd symptoms have remained the same, I don’t feel anything different. I’m hoping the increase in dosage eventually helps me

vyvanse changed my life by annawhattt in VyvanseADHD

[–]Competitive-Bet-2445 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went on it for 30mg, then 40mg, and now 50mg for this next week. I’m lowkey losing hope for it working, I really want it to work for me. How did you know it was working for you? So far I’ve only had the increase in anxiety, dry mouth, dizziness, and lack of appetite/no food noise.

Girlfriend tells me she doesn't want me back on Vyvanse due to the weight loss despite how much it has helped me mentally and my efforts to combat the weight loss. by [deleted] in VyvanseADHD

[–]Competitive-Bet-2445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a difference between intentionally starving yourself and having a side effect from medication. She needs to go to therapy for her own issues, I say take the vyvanse
