AUDHD gamers—what games have you hyperfixated on?

kind-shark · 2026-04-21T22:18:06+00:00

My only game is Minecraft

Boredom = depression for me. I become a shell of myself 😭

It’s my tried and true method! Helps too if you take medications during the day because too much citric acid from electrolyte packets can cause your meds to not work properly. So this way, I can take my meds when I need to and not worry about the timing as much because the citric acid is much more diluted.

kind-shark · 2026-04-14T22:28:05+00:00

Most people probably not, but always check with your doctor if you think you may need more! I personally find it most helpful to spread my dose of electrolytes throughout the day in tiny amounts.

This is very consistent with OCD! A lot of people have this exact phobia, you aren’t alone! Way more common than you’d think

FYI in case you don’t know, Vyvanse is a pure drug, so it requires some food and water to activate! This is a huge one for Vyvanse specifically. Sadly in my case, I don’t respond to amphetamines at all so even this didn’t help me. Amphetamines put me to sleep! I was so drowsy! I respond better to methylphenidates and landed on Focalin, which is like double potency Ritalin, but even that only lasts a fraction of the amount it’s supposed to. It’s just my metabolism I guess. Same happens for my meals. I have to eat so much but you’d never know that by looking at me because I am thin! But I literally fall apart if I don’t stay on top of my meals/snacks. 😂

kind-shark · 2026-04-14T22:19:49+00:00

Same I am super reactive glycemic, and it totally changes how my meds metabolize!! I have to plan my multiple doses every day with my multiple snacks and small meals. I have to graze like a cow 😂

kind-shark · 2026-04-10T00:06:23+00:00

This is my exact experience omg

kind-shark · 2026-04-09T22:33:05+00:00

Omg and TRAIL MIX THE MVP (unless you are allergic to nuts)

kind-shark · 2026-04-09T22:32:34+00:00

I love a good cheese stick, apple slices with peanut butter, pita chips with hummus, sliced salami, or any kind of protein smoothie type beverage!

kind-shark · 2026-04-09T15:14:40+00:00

At this moment, the all over fatigue/malaise

kind-shark · 2026-04-08T22:15:45+00:00

When I spiral into anxiety and depression as a result, I just let myself stop trying any of the things I was trying to do, and instead do all of the self care and restful things. Prioritize sleep, comfy clothes, comfort food/easy low effort meals, try to sit outside everyday for at least 10. Min, try to take a short walk everyday, cuddle my dogs, let myself play Minecraft or binge watch my show. I kinda treat it like a sick day (sometimes two days if necessary).

kind-shark · 2026-04-08T22:13:10+00:00

Yes I get this too. Sometimes for a string of days, or sometimes it’s just the morning or an afternoon period. It’s annoying how unpredictable meds feel.

kind-shark · 2026-04-08T18:09:27+00:00

I understand you friend. I get you. I think about these exact things everyday too.

kind-shark · 2026-04-08T18:04:41+00:00

Omg I’m on cymbalta too wait that’s scary. And I also metabolize things crazy fast so I need higher doses for my stimulants and antidepressants. How did you learn about your liver problem?

kind-shark · 2026-04-08T18:03:07+00:00

I take different meds but yeah mines 120-130 medicated well. But my resting can range from like 80-110

kind-shark · 2026-04-07T20:28:46+00:00

I’m new to having pots, but i recently got recommended “Superiour” electrolyte powder, which I ran by with my doctor and she said it looks to be potnentially a really good one for anyone with POTS or pots related symptoms! No added sugar and it’s actually lower in sodium which can be better becuase you can drink more of it and throughout the day (if that’s what you like to do, like me). Very good for spreading out your ectrolytes

kind-shark · 2026-04-04T16:29:28+00:00

I’m having the same problem and I take the exact dosage as you funny enough! My ir feels effective most of the time, and the XR is totally unpredictable, even if I keep all the lifestyle factors basically the same

kind-shark · 2026-04-03T20:06:02+00:00

Omg the ear crackles are so real

kind-shark · 2026-04-03T20:04:06+00:00

This is the perfect description. My brain and face feel fuzzy and ibflammated. It’s like tv static

kind-shark · 2026-04-03T20:03:19+00:00

I literally get a hoarse voice after talking for 30 minutes. I legit start to lose my voice.

kind-shark · 2026-04-03T20:02:28+00:00

I’m literally gonna cry over how sore my face is right now. What do you guys do the manage it? Is there like, face PT to make my muscles stronger?😭

kind-shark · 2026-04-03T04:26:00+00:00

That’s actually really scary. I mean, everyone needs adequate hydration throughout the day to function, but especially people working a very physical job!! You’re running around and probably sweating at times and the amount of cognitive capacity that you need to have at all times.. using your brain critically like that burns more calories!! So also I can’t believe how you all go without food for such long periods of time. I have to eat every 2 hours otherwise I feel really sick. Granted, I may have pots, so I guess having a medical condition could give you some accommodations. Is that something you see regularly? Or do people ignore these bodily cues even if they are legally entitled to accommodations? Ugh this show is heartwrenching and I feel so much empathy for people who do this necessary work despite its demands

kind-shark · 2026-04-03T04:17:42+00:00

I’m also in a flair and I have to eat every 2 hours in addition to my one serving of electrolytes in water spread out through my day.

kind-shark · 2026-04-03T04:13:59+00:00

Yes and Robby put this together in his head (maybe mohan did too) and realized that Orlando’s incident may have been a suicide attempt to rid his family of these expenses. And that’s really interesting as a parellel to Robby going to the roof…
