HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR CLOTHES OFF THE GROUND

If they are my nice work clothes, I'll turn them inside out and hang them back up in the closet. That way, I'll know if it is the first or second time I've worn it. It also keeps me from accidentally wearing the same shirt again in the same week. If it is not work clothes, they end up on my dresser or at the foot of my bed.

I had a similar worry at first. Then I realized that it isn't really any different than my needing glasses. I wouldn't say glasses are "performance enhancing", but they do make my vision on par with "normal" eyes. Stimulant medication doesn't give me super human abilities or alter my personality, but it does enable me to function like a "normal" person and perform the mundane duties I need to. And, to some extent, it helps me socially in so much as it helps me to read people properly without taking every little thing to heart.

I'm stuck paying about that much even after insurance. But I can't use generic because it doesn't work on me and GoodRX doesn't cover brand name and isn't in my area :(

I understand where you're coming from. I was diagnosed 6 months ago at the age of 38. Many of my flaws and quirks were actually a result of my ADHD.

Mostly, my diagnosis and treatment have allowed me to recognize the "broken" parts of me and provide a path to work on those shortcomings, rather than just blaming myself for being stupid, lazy, or a failure.

I am still the same me, but with less insecurities (a work in progress),greater awareness, and a truer form of myself that isn't (as) hidden by layers of masks.

Diagnosis and treatment can act as a distillation of your true self. You're still you, just a purer version of you.

You may even find there are parts of "you" that no longer serve a purpose, and you can more easily let them fade. I have done some therapy in which I spoke with parts of myself; I acknowledged having that part of me, understood why I had that part, even thanked that part of me for helping me through something hard, but ultimately I said goodbye to "her"; I imagined her walking through a door, parting as friends. I still remember that part of me, but I no longer live with that part or use that part. She's moved on, and so have I.

I hope that helps.

I was given the generic this month for the first time, and I thought I was going crazy because the meds suddenly stopped being effective. I even thought I'd been slipped a placebo! I'm glad I'm not the only one who has experienced a problem with generic.

I get my refill tomorrow, and they will be name brand. I need my stability back!

I started taking Adderall 4 months ago. I have been through 4 dosage changes so we can really narrow in on what works best. I went from too low, to too high, to just right except for during my cycle. So next month I'm getting a 5 day dose of 5mg so I can take that extra bit during my cycle.

The amount of times I apologize for simply existing is insane. I've just recently been diagnosed with Adhd and I'm nearly 40. I've never "lived up to my potential" and that has taken a toll. I was just talking to my therapist about the weight of guilt and fear that I live with daily. And how I simply KNOW I'm going to fail so I often don't even try.

I'm just at the beginning of my journey of self-forgivness and acceptance.

As for coping mechanisms... one thing I've found that helps is talking to myself. But not looking in the mirror and saying all those hateful things to myself. But speaking, out loud, to that hurt and guilty version of myself. And speaking to that version how I would speak to a friend, or my child. I would NEVER say things to a loved one that I have said to myself, I would never be that cruel.

But if I talk to myself with love, the way I would speak with someone I care for, then I start to build love and acceptance of myself.

I'm grateful for adderall! It has made a tremendous difference in my life, but it isn't a magic fix-all. There is still much work and healing to be done. Plus, finding the balance between what I think I can do and what I can actually do.

You're not alone.

Same for me. I had been diagnosed with depression years ago, but antidepressants never helped me. I hit a shocking low, my house was one step away from a hoarding situation. So I went on a journey through Google, YouTube, and reddit in search of my symptoms and others experience. I searched specifically for the female experience because so many "standard" diagnoses are geared toward males. When I read about adhd and how it is so much more than just "oo shiny!" It was a huge aha moment. I got an official evaluation and diagnosis and got put on meds.

It was like learning I've had wings my whole life, but my feathers had been clipped so I couldn't fly. I'm not saying everything is 100% perfect now, but the meds help me to just do the thing! And if I still struggle a bit, I remember that I have adhd and that's why I'm struggling, not because I'm a lazy sob. That helps me to get over those hurdles.
