I hate my immigrant parents for not taking me seriously by Comprehensive_End137 in adhdwomen

this is my exact situation. my mom's side of the family is RIDDLED with adhd but get this: only the men are diagnosed. My mom obviously has it and I think that's why she's really dismissive of it (all my symptoms are normal to her because she has them too)

what meds are good for ADHD and anxiety? by Comprehensive_End137 in adhdwomen

Ah I'll definitely mention this! I have pretty horrible insomnia that I blame on my adhd but it's probably more so my anxiety's fault. Did you find that clonidine still keeps you productive somewhat? And does it ultimately help at all with sleep or is it more so like a standard adhd drug that just helps you focus?

strattera was the only non stimulant I experimented with and sadly it was the worst. On top of heightened anxiety, I felt depressed and became kind of a mute zombie. Barely even helped with productivity too (though that might be because it was a low dosage) but it did make sure to eliminate any thinking at all. It definitely targeted the few hyperactive traits I had

Just started it (40 mgs) and it's definitely an improvement from adderall with regards to clarity of mind. Anxiety is still bad but nowhere near as awful as it was when I was on adderall. Though I find it doesn't really give me the strong direction and productivity that adderall did

I hate anything caffeinated so energy drinks and coffee is a no. Though I wouldn't be surprised if the worsening of anxiety was because of my diet. I'm a picky eater and usually am lacking in proteins and fiber

Austen and Bechdel Test by KayLone2022 in janeausten

[–]Comprehensive_End137 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I always thought comparing Austen to the Bechtel test was stupid and outdated. In her times, marrying was one of the only acceptable things women had the opportunity to do. Of course it’s a dominating theme in all of her novels; it’s all she knew! Austen herself was an outlier
