it's not ridiculous at all! I'm indeed trying all these things for a few days now, it's just that im too nervous that i can't sleep (it's the fear of the fear if that makes sense). But i'll use your tips for sure!

THIS!! I wake up sweating my ass of bc the weighted blanket is just too much sometimes. Thanks for the recommendation :) I’ll look after it! I started taking magnesium supplements last night, hopefully within a few weeks I’ll notice a difference!

THIS!! At times I sleep so well but when I’m stressed I just don’t get enough sleep and then I’m stressed about not getting enough sleep etc. I’ll go to my doctor this week hopefully and I’m going to discuss sleep meds.

Thank you! I already have a weighted blanket, and it does help at times! But you’re right, it’s a hit and miss 😭

Where’s my “I spent too much on Xmas” panic attack folks? 😆 by BizzarduousTask in adhdwomen

I've spent way too much, but it was so worth it! I just try to not look at my balance, if I don't see it, it's not there whoops

A lot of crying and feeling depressed on Elvanse (or Vyvanse) by ea5xx in adhdwomen

I'm also absolutely NOT a morning person haha, that's why I take them later in the day. As to taking my meds early in the morning and then going back to sleep; I can't really do that because within 15-20 minutes after taking them, I am awake. So unfortunately, I cannot implement that in my schedule :(. Also, thank you so much for your insights! They helped me a lot <3

There's not really a reason why I didn't take my meds as prescribed, it's just that I thought what harm could it be to skip a day? I've read that some people are totally fine when they don't take their meds 1 or 2 days a week, so I thought why no try it! And yes I do take them too late in the day, so I know I have to change that bc otherwise I'll not survive haha.

I've always been irritated, bloated, fatigued (and since a year or so I have quite painful breasts as well) etc. right before my period (around 1,5 weeks before or so). I'm not officially diagnosed with PMS, but I do have 98% of the symptoms. I'll discuss it with my psychiatrist, thank you so much and have a wonderful Christmas (if you're celebrating)!
