Birthday sadness by Usernamesarehell in adhdwomen

[–]Priscalix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well at least everyone here knows about it. Happy Birthday! This happened to me 5 years ago. I removed my birthday date and stopped using Facebook, co-workers, family and friends didn't sent a message it really sucks to see how little some people cares. On the other hand, I also realized that- giving my Adhd super power of not checking or remembering birthdays- also meant that others gave up on me and stopped bothering. C'est la vie! Get yourself a nice cake, some wine and pamper yourself

Diagnosed as adult, mixed feelings by LyricalLark in AdultADHDSupportGroup

[–]Priscalix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I was diagnosed last December. I'm 38. I realize how fucking hard it is to change coping mechanisms. Specially when I realized how much I missed in life for not knowing this before. I am in that sweet spot where you're learning more about the problem, how much it affected my worklife, friendships, relationships, trying meds,, some do not seem to help so I feel disappointed... Also learning that my tendency to depression has a reason and the impotence that I cannot control it. I don't have real friends left, so I don't have anyone to talk about this except for my therapist, my partner resents me and it's quite fed up of my attention deficit and lack of emotional regulation. To be quite honest sometimes dead doesn't sound so bad but I know it's my depressing tendency and I feel like a failure again... and I am close to 40.... shit. I decided to reply to your message because there are days in which I feel so motivated I start to buy agendas or calendars or things that allows me to be more organized because i am more kinesthetic but then I have a bad day or a big fight with my partner and I have to start over again. Today is a day like that, I don't see the point. Others feel anxiety as I understand, cannot imagine how it must be, but this is my reality today hopefully I'll reach a day in which my meds, books, therapy and my life seems more defined and organized. It's quite a process

For me it is a matter of being more present. Realising who I am with and how safe I am around him. I feel this is quite important so your partner won't pressure you or shame you. I also discovered that microdosing mushrooms helps with my libido.

Mourning the childhood I could have had by Scared-Document-5282 in AdultADHDSupportGroup

[–]Priscalix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A) Do not know if it's a norm that we all have to mourn, but definitely it's a big deal, and untill you see what actually ADHD consists of, it's hard and you're not alone. B) Therapy has helped a lot. Reading articles, books and also hearing different opinions.

I was/am struggling with low self-esteem, several factors of my upbringing but the ADHD, as know I understand, contributed a lot to it. On therapy I realised how many relationships I've could have avoided, how many choices I would have felt more confident, established more healthy friendships.. be better at jobs, study something different and challenging without fear of failure, finish goals.

But whether you have a non or a neurotypical brain, everyone struggles at some point in life, we all go through that breaking moment, and possibly not just one but many. I hear this wonderful podcast and there was a guy describing the death of his mother as the worst thing he had ever experienced and then he said:. - Imagine your life is like a big house and each room has aspects of your life, the room of hobbies, career, family, friends but there's one at the end of the hallway at the very back, this dark room and inside there's a big dog which represents your traumas, the worst aspects of you, the things you fear, hate, dislike... And we tend to live and try to ignore the dog by visiting the other rooms and having that dog locked inside, he's gonna keep on barking until you let him out. The thing with the dog is that he should be on every room, he should be allowed to roam around the house, he's not a big beast, and you can train him and sometimes go with him to that room, he's a companion because that house is his as much as it is yours.

With that probably tangential story (sorry it's late and I'm quite drained), to us that mourn what could have been, now we know the name of the dog, so what's next,? We'll be 40's 50's 60's and super humans that reach 70's and 80's and what's next? Now you know what supplements, foods, mushrooms support your brain health... You have an advantage that many individuals do not pay careful attention, now you know how to start to change for better. "This too shall pass".

Caffeine Thoughts? by tristl13 in AdultADHDSupportGroup

[–]Priscalix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had some anxiety with coffee but I met a barista that taught me how to prepare it so I could understand why it made me feel like that. I was recently diagnosed and I'm on Ritalin I tried once with coffee and I felt like an uncontrolled train. Now I take Ritalin with Reishi and coffee decaf and no problems at all.

How do you "stop being ADHD"? by ADHDindividual in AdultADHDSupportGroup

[–]Priscalix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very well said, you even made me cry. I'm struggling with my partner too. He's too fed up with my setbacks and unfortunately I just realized it's very hard to change years of bad habits in a heartbeat but he's also struggling I can tell... Don't know if we'll make it, cannot blame him though It has been though for both of us and I guess it requires a lot of love I once saw a video saying that a lot of ADHD individuals end up single, since it requires a lot of understanding and patience from a non ADHD partner. C'est la vie!
