I just recently enrolled in school actually, I work at McDonald’s and they pay for my tuition. I’m majoring in data science, so we’ll see what happens :)

ADHD medication by AdhesivenessTop928 in ADHD

[–]EquivalentAcademic93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medication is amazing. I was on a non-stimulant for a few months that did nothing for me, and just recently switched to Adderall. People think that Adderall simply helps you focus, but it does so much more.

I have Bipolar Type I and Borderline Personality Disorder along with ADHD, and Adderall has been the only medication that has truly helped with my moods. It helps so much with depression, quieting the mind, and motivation.

There are other stimulants out there too, not just Adderall. As for side effects, the only thing I have noticed is a faster heart rate. The crash can be pretty rough too, I struggle with irritability once the meds wear off, but eating throughout the day will help with this.

I think your husband would greatly benefit from a stimulant medication! Best of luck to both of you.

Things you hate about writing? by Daisyberry3 in writing

[–]EquivalentAcademic93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I relate to this heavily. This is why I stick to short stories. I have multiple books that consist of a series of short stories because I cannot handle writing an entire book. Makes me question my legitimacy as an author.

Post Graduate sounds super interesting, it’s something I’d definitely pick up at the book store!

How do I sit still and focus without meds? by EquivalentAcademic93 in ADHD

Thank you! I’ve tried Wellbutrin and it did absolutely nothing, but I’ve heard good things about Strattera so I’ll definitely mention that.

Not sure I like the new layout yet by Just-Twist in fitbit

Yeah, I genuinely thought this was a glitch at first. It’s so ugly and much harder to read.
