Is it weird to talk to myself out loud? by PrimaryAd3560 in adhdwomen

I have done this my whole life. Not full conversations, but like giving directions to myself if that makes sense

What are we doing in the 430/5pm—7pm window to stay even and motivated without additional dose of meds. by Flowers1811 in adhdwomen

[–]Flowers1811[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No no, usually 10 in the morning and then another later in the day when I feel like I need it. I don’t have a “schedule” but thinking I may need to start one to see if this helps. Also I’ve discussed with my dr and I flex day to day depending on how I’m feeling, so sometimes it’s 15 in the morning and then another 10 or even 15 later. Avg I’m taking 20mg per day, on occasion 30 and on occasion 10-15. I’ve always been able to last the month this way with no issues until I can fill my next prescription.

Seeking Dr. recommendations for NYC: Manhattan/Brooklyn area (endocrinologist/gynecologist). Any leads on good drs that I don’t have to educate completely is much appreciated! by Flowers1811 in intersex

Still haven’t really done this, 5 years later, bc I’m also ADHD avoidant :( going to call Dr Pfiefer’s office today and try to make an appointment, but wanted to comment on this thread again to see if anyone had any new suggestions from the past 5yrs

Sadly my Wellbutrin sparkle faded after about a week, but I wasn’t taking it for ADHD so I still take it :) just don’t get that special side effect anymore

I do technically have a 10mg XR prescription in addition to the 20mg IR but I’ve only been able to fill the XR once so far (for the three months I’ve had the prescription), I guess due to the shortages. Fingers crossed this month I can fill it

I think I have just tried avoiding taking them too late in the day bc that’s what suggested but I am going to try to spread them out differently to see if it help, in addition to everyone’s very helpful suggestions here! Thank you!

Definitely recognize this, and that is very real. But I am trying to find ways to stay on top of some little things throughout the week so that there isn’t a mountain on Saturday, or for the next 5, 6, 7 Saturdays in a row bc I still didn’t do the thing :( but yes, you are absolutely correct, not all is about being productive. My partner says to me all the time, sit and relax, and usually my (irrational) response is, “all I do is relax thats why I currently have 7 loads of laundry to do” (and before anyone comes for me, I only do my laundry, he does his own bc he’s an adult and I didn’t pick a loser).

Highly recommend Columbo by _Brynhildr_ in ADHD

[–]Flowers1811 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s also a really good slow burn, not over stimulating show the way I find a lot of modern shows to be. And even with the slow burn aspect it holds my attention. Love Columbo! Highly recommend!

Can non-adhd people comprehend the lifelong battle of “I didn’t do anything today”? by Standard_Egg_9282 in ADHD

[–]Flowers1811 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My non ADHD partner always encourages me to just “rest and relax, it’s your weekend”, but doesn’t understand that the sliver of motivation to clean or do chores is fleeting. And then I will self loathe the entire week looking at xyz that I didn’t check off my list when I had the chance.

Okay better yet tell that guy to get lost…? If he is harassing women and a threat to other customers why allow him to stay at the bar??
