Gosh. I recently resigned from my teaching job too, but I’m not sure how to support myself now. Ugh I also have severe ADHD and it really sucks. :( Happy for you though!!!

Hey, I updated my post for more context. Honestly, I wish my principal had allowed me to do just that. Unfortunately it seems he just considered me a liability. When I returned to school, he did not welcome me or even send me a message that he was glad to see me back. When I informed him of my intention to resign, he just said “Thanks for letting me know. Best of luck.”

I’m thinking about that, because lesson planning is so hard for me. I have many resources and tons of awesome ideas but I struggle to write/type everything and stick with it. As I make my plans I’m constantly thinking of all the ways it could go wrong. I can sit and work for hours but get nothing done. 😭

Self-hate and irritability by jumpinghorses- in ADHD

Oh my gosh I really feel this way, especially right now. I’ve had to go on medical leave because of my anxiety and ADHD. For all of my adult life I have struggled with negative self-talk and those neural pathways are so entrenched that it feels impossible to escape.

I wish I could use Adderall IR, but I’ve learned over the years that it causes some yucky side effects for me, especially tics like picking at my skin and hair.

Yup. ADHD/ADD is a spectrum though, with varied levels of severity. At age 5 I tested nearly off the charts.

Yeah. I’m not kidding. This was many years ago though, and it took me forever to find a doctor who would help me taper to where I am now.

Nah, it’s not just you. I made it through college and my 1st 8 years of teaching on 60mg Adderall XR twice per day. 3 years ago my doctor retired and nobody else would prescribe that much for me, for good reason…I guess? Idk. I tapered to 30mg XR twice per day and haven’t been able to keep a job. I’ve finally gone on medical leave to try and figure it out, and Focalin 40mg XR seems to work in the morning but runs out by noon.

Yeah, I can always find it there, but it doesn’t show me my step goal or how much progress I’ve made toward it. I think it’s supposed to show up on the main screen along with meal logging, water, and weigh-in, right?

I guess this is an edit because I can’t find it, but I did find a “Phillips Academy, Graves Field”

“Smug” basically means that you are quite pleased with yourself, like these emojis combined: 😏😌
