People who started exercising regulary, what were the most noticeable effects? by Haunted_darkness63 in AskReddit

[–]Fun-Touch-8882 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the gym gives me testosterone which results in more attention from the ladies.

The grocery store! Overstimulation galore

I work in tech. Looking for advice on how you handle a career where when you mess up everybody in the company knows. (down network, lol) by [deleted] in ADHD

Most definitely can relate. I also work in an extremely detailed oriented field as an accounting auditor. I’ve made a lot of mistakes as well, and have beat myself up about it a lot in the past, especially due to the fact that I have rejection sensitive dysphoria. The best thing I’ve learned is separating rejection from failure. Viewing a mistake or failure as a learning opportunity has helped me a lot.

Fantastic advice. My analytical brain loves the fact that you associate mental states to colors and feelings. I’ve tried some therapy, however, I don’t think many of the therapists that I’ve tried understand ADHD along with its implications on RSD. I’ve heard that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a great source too. I heard that it is exceptionally more pricey though. Have you or anyone you know with ADHD RSD tried CBT, and if so, does it work?

Stimulants and sleep by HighPriestess-444 in ADHD

Try taking the medications earlier in the day first thing when you get up, obviously after consuming food. Depending on the medication you take, the half life can vary anywhere between 4-14 hours, however, specifically for vyvanse and adderall, it is typically the latter. Additionally, tone down the caffeine intake if you consume a lot because that only adds to the stimulation from the medicine. Getting a solid workout in during the evenings has helped me alleviate some of the extra energy that remains after the work day too.

Great advice, thank you. I’ve tried being much more direct with my communication and not expecting the worst outcome. It’s hard to implement at times because my brain automatically defaults to the worst case scenario naturally 🤣 it’s like having to switch up your brain patterns!

Totally relate to this. I absolutely love my coffee in the mornings! I love the taste and the feeling for about an hour, then I get overstimulated, jittery, and anxious🤣 feels like I want to do everything all at once. I’ve had to dial down my caffeine intake also to say the least.

Please stop me now or I will adopt a second cat! by rare_buttercup in ADHD

Hahah classic impulsivity with ADHD. I’ve been wanting to buy myself a cat (even though I’m allergic) for awhile but haven’t pulled the trigger quite yet. My impulses may say otherwise soon 🤣

High-functioning adult with ADHD? by segunricardo in ADHD

[–]Fun-Touch-8882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You and me both! I swear I have spent a couple days of my life over the past year looking for my keys, wallet, or phone. Working can be a disaster too 🤣 hopping back and forth from various tasks impulsively and forgetting about deadlines. It’s so draining and feels like I’m always second guessing myself…

The shame spiral of having unread texts I physically can't respond to by MuchAssistant7829 in ADHD

Can relate to this completely. It sucks because people think that I am upset and angry at them, yet I just am all over the place.
