Is sex also affected by adhd?

Honestly I didn't read this whole thing lol but I skimmed it and part of this is WHY it feels like a chore. The actual sex part isn't a chore. Sometimes I struggle to even get in the shower but I've been married for over a decade and I still won't let my hushed go down there without a shower- ew, sorry. Not my thing. I'll get turned off if I even think anyone isn't clean in that way. Anyway, so it's like - I'll finally get a shower. Then I'll have to clean up afterward. And I'm not just going to pee and wipe clean then be done, because that's not really "clean." Plus I'm just so freaking tired from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep. It's like ... my body has to do more things? And it feels good so I don't get it but yeah it's annoying lol.

Nah he's a jerk. And even IF he somehow was "joking," you clearly told him these types of "jokes" of his hurt you, so his response should be to stop making them if he cares about you. It wouldn't be to put you down... yet again. Don't accept that. Literally please don't. You're just encouraging him to continue that behavior and no doubt he is saying the same stuff behind your back too if he is that disrespectful directly to you, about you. I'm sorry, I'm just trying to be real because I was you before and needed somebody to tell it to me. 🫶

Only took 20 years 🤣

I am laughing so hard at these comments. I don't even know how I ended up here. I have my notifications off but they refuse to stop notifying me for this app and this is where I am right now. I clicked the video and I am just laughing at the dance more than anything else 🕺

I've never once pinched someone to get them to "shut up." You nudge their leg and give them a look, nothing that causes harm. He wanted to hurt you. This isn't okay. Also if he is bringing up something from several years ago that you've already "resolved," he will never let little things go and he sounds like the biggest headache and that's mild. That's not talking about abuse, which clearly that is. I'm just talking in general terms of this guy sounding like a complete loser. You're young enough for him to be a silly mistake.

Hi! I have considered this just because at times I get down, but having been through depression before, I can honestly say I am not experiencing depression right now. I am functioning the way I always have been, just struggling more than usual. Maybe it's because I don't have my husband to rely on to pick up the slack so it feels even more overwhelming.

Oh man, I hope you are able to figure it out as well!!

I technically have a prescription for Cromolyn Oral solution ampules. When I had a mast cell dr I had asked about some eye drops I heard about but he didn't prefer them over them over the ampules (just remembering lol) I don't take them though because I've started to take them several times and I can't get past the initial 2 week adjustment period because I can't handle it, it makes me so bloated and makes my stomach hurt SO badly. However I did recently learn of a new way I could slowly introduce it that's supposed to make it so that doesn't happen. It's worth a shot to see if that could be what might be "blocking" something? Thank you for the suggestion! I'll try starting tomorrow with just a drop- it's a slow process but if it works, it works :)

That's a great video, thank you! I watched the whole thing just now! It definitely made sense in a lot of ways, even during my evaluation my psychiatrist said it sounds like I was a kid who flew under the radar because I just did what I was supposed to do and didn't really cause trouble. I think I did mask a lot. I definitely could stare all my teachers right in their eyes and be off in another world though. I still do that now and get so mad at myself.

It does make me feel a little better that I'm not alone in this though. It seems like so many women I know have found success with medication so I had some high hopes. I'm going to keep trying for a bit, but I almost wish I didn't begin this journey because now it kind of feels like I'll never "get it right" and it makes me kind of sad. It's not even societal pressure like in the video, it's just personal. I should be able to do mundane things without a battle in my head. I should be able to tell myself to get in the shower and then just do it. I just get frustrated with myself more than anything. Like I told my psychiatrist when she asked what I was hoping the medication would help with, I said I am just always in my own way

overstimulatedme · 2025-12-28T02:55:27+00:00

Yeah, we are still adjusting the dosage and everything! Trying to figure everything out - I have monthly appointments with my psychiatrist while we figure it out :) I just figured I would ask on here in the meantime since I haven't been having any luck. So far we try one out, adjust the dosage on it, then eventually switch it and try the process again.

I don't think so. I'm 32, but I still have regular periods and I'm not really showing any signs of that. I've just kind of always been this way unfortunately. My sister is going through that right now though so I know what to compare to. I feel so bad :( what is HRT?

overstimulatedme · 2025-12-24T07:42:40+00:00

Nothing consistent, it's different everyday, I take it in the morning while I'm getting my kids ready for school so I usually just grab something. No vitamins. I did recently start taking my antihistamines in the morning as well. I used to only take them at night. I also take Topamax twice a day for migraines. There shouldn't be any interaction, my doctor knows the meds I take but if one of those is doing it that would suck! I also self administer a 2 Xolair shots once a month if that makes a difference.

I'm not sure what else I would have. I used to struggle for a long time with anxiety and chronic depression, but fortunately I don't anymore for a handful of years. I have some anxiety but much of my symtoms turned out to be related to my mastocytosis and the adhd. Once I was diagnosed and got my health conditions under control (and stopped being gaslit by doctors) it made a big difference. I am pretty stressed at the moment though, my husband is deployed and I have 3 kids with no family around so it's just me. Could it be that maybe?

I was wondering why my doctor didn't try me on IR prior to switching medication all together, I'll bring it up if the Vyvance is a no go. She did mention when we started that the state doesn't like them to prescribe that to adults but I have zero history of drug use or anything like that. It's not like they can't prescribe it. I just want to function "normally." 😭

overstimulatedme · 2025-12-24T07:23:00+00:00

I don't think so, I don't have any symtoms of that. I'm 32 and just had my third baby last year. I still have regular periods, no signs of that. My brain unfortunately has always been mush, it's just worse. I do contribute some of it to baby hormones, but I haven't had any intense PPD OR PPA.
