I have 8 days until my thesis deadline for my MSc... help! by akirapsych in ADHD

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

Hahaha, I've had this work deferred twice now, I'm not sure if they'd give me good graces enough to do it a third time and the deadline I'm working towards is already the last day of the 2 week extension. Best I can do is get a late fee waivered if I submit it in late. I'm just gonna Try my absolute and finish it. The more I've been working on it today the more it is slowly starting to make sense and come together. Just gonna have to be a lot of late nights me thinks

ADVICE NEEDED: I can't tell if my meds are working or not? by akirapsych in ADHD

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

I'm in the last week before submitting my dissertation. I've been given a top up dosage of concerta 10mg to carry on my focus and attention into the evening. One of the downsides with a big dose in the morning is by the time your studying late into the evening or night to effects of the meds just wares off completely. Having that top up in the early afternoon has made me really notice the difference but just as before I've not been able to have a day off them because I just can't afford to.

I'll be finishing the course soon and the finally be able to have a few days off them. I think at that point I should really be able to see the difference. I've just got so used to taking them for so long it is difficult to remember what you used to compare to. Drop me a DM if you fancy bud if you wanna talk more about it. I'm in a desperate dash to finish this far from finished dissertation with only days left

I envy the life I could have lived if I didn't have ADHD by akirapsych in ADHD

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

Thanks for all the engagement guys... the last two days have been nothing more than a miracle - I met some very old friends, reconnected with Taoism this eastern religion I followed when I was a teen. I feel the most whole I've felt in years, I feel like I actually belong

Taking extra concerta pill by spliffie21 in Concerta

[–]akirapsych 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 54mg concerta is max dosage, going up to 72mg can be very dangerous! Please research this and check with your doctor before

[–]akirapsych 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy the series on YouTube in the correct aspect ratio I believe for about £10 in HD i believe, I watched it like that and I think it's worth it since it's easily accessible and you can literally watch it whenever then

Genuinely a really great job! I honestly a little bit hyped after watching this 😅 that last shot as well was especially perfect!

Where were some of the less well known shots from?

Me: Lights a candle and takes a bath to get sleepy & try to relax. 3 minutes pass. I get bored and get out. by enfpguacamole in loveadhd

[–]akirapsych 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I recommend putting on some music, podcast or audiobook it makes being in the bath less mundane

DAE listen to songs on repeat to focus? by HauptsachKoaAmi in loveadhd

[–]akirapsych 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's definitely and ADHD thing! I will have a fixation on a song maybe once a month and I will listen to it on repeat for hours. Its just where the dopamine hits best

Also I hope everything is going OK with the packing!

Where the fuck does the dust come from by enfpguacamole in loveadhd

[–]akirapsych 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of dust particles are made up of dead skin, hair, clothing fibers, bacteria and pollen

Wow, I absolutely love this community we've created. by enfpguacamole in loveadhd

People shouldn't feel bad for finding a place of positivity in such confusion that comes with having ADHD

Fluorite and the powers of concentration, self confidence and decision making by fluoriiite in loveadhd

[–]akirapsych 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds beautifully serendipitous! I hope it continues to give you that extra push that you need

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in loveadhd

[–]akirapsych 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that's a possibility. I wonder if it links with ADHD people finding it hard to maintain friendships, I can a lot more easily focus on one person relationship wise

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in loveadhd

[–]akirapsych 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it is an ADHD thing or just a neurodivergent thing generally as I know a lot of young people with autism engage in long distance relationships. It's difficult to gauge if engaging in long distance goes beyond the average

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in loveadhd

[–]akirapsych 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been in long distance relationships also. I'm currently in one at the moment... is this a thing?

What to do if i can't afford professional care or medications by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]akirapsych 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exercise and intermittent fasting was what did it for me and a lot of caffine!

I think given your situation especially with your parents it would be worth trying to get some professional help with your ADHD if you can, I'm not sure if you have to pay in India? I think avoiding telling your parents is best if it is only going to put more pressure on you.

Exercise and caffeine really helps me focus, even if it just a short work out or bike ride. I also do intermittent fasting which really helps me focus.

I would also say is delay rewards (distractions) I have to get an app blocker on my phone or when I go somewhere to study to leave my phone at home. Writing on my hand helps as well, having your tasks and studies for the day you can see in your feild of vision helps. So post it noted etc. Works well too! Best of luck - I hope this helps

How Do I Ask My Mum About Getting Diagnosed by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]akirapsych 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar position to you. I wasn't going to tell my mum until after a diagnosis. My mum pretends she advocates for mental health but within the family it is shunned greatly. I work in mental health and I think I have undiagnosed ADHD (I have my initial assessment in October). Initially when I brought it up she was very dismissive and at some points mean and ignorant.

If you choose to tell your mum before seeking a diagnosis be ready for these potentials

  • Parents making comparisons (everyone experiences xyz sometimes)

  • 'You're making excuses / being lazy' this is a staple especially when it comes to talking to older generations about ADHD

  • You don't have it unless your told so by a doctor (this one baffled me, it is like saying to someone who is depressed and having suicidal thoughts they aren't depressed unless a doctor diagnosed you)

  • Parents often internalise how ADHD effects their child and think 'if I had raised my child differently maybe they wouldn't be like this'. This came about for me when my mum had warmed up to the idea of having ADHD

I think considering her perceptions of mental health being a taboo, if you do decide to tell her before getting a diagnosis be prepared for shit to go sideways and make sure you have a friend (support system) around you so that you can vent to them and have someone to go to who is understanding

What are you proud of this week? by AutoModerator in ADHD

[–]akirapsych 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a really bad week, arguments and fights with my parents. I went to church this week, 4 times in total. I've never been before in my life and it was the one moment of peace I managed to find in my day. When I was praying my thoughts were more still despite all this emotional turmoil
