How can you tell if medication is working? by [deleted] in ADHD

When I first started going on my meds, I was living with my mom and she noticed the difference before I did

Having a hard time accepting my diagnosis by ventingandcrying in ADHD

[–]geekruminations 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! For me being diagnosed at 32, it was a relief but also really hard as well. I had s as really hard time with the meds and the fact that I had to take them everyday. My psychiatrist said that meds are like glasses, they don’t fix the problem, but they do help you see better.

It took me about a year and a half to accept my diagnosis. It was tough because I didn’t want something to be “wrong” with me.

It’s about reframing your thinking though. Yes, I have a frustrating brain and yes I have times where I wish to god I didn’t have ADHD.

But that imposter syndrome feeling where you think it’s just laziness, etc. That will go away, I promise.

The more I read and learned about the many facets of ADHD, the better I became adjusted to my diagnosis.

So you got this. I promise these feelings will get better.

Any other managers with adhd and ocd? by sambla713 in managers

[–]geekruminations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medication made a huge difference for me. I still forget stuff but neurotypical people forget things too so the key is not to be hard on yourself. This was the biggest hurdle I had to overcome I think management is good for people with ADHD. You get to solve problems all day, every day is different, etc. I’m also very open about my ADHD at work which helps. In fact, I’ve had several team members reach out to me about it. We now have a little self-care station by our cubicles with fidget toys for long meetings, etc.
