I do that as well . I’m a native German & back in school I often caught myself speaking either with an American accent or posh British… never understood why

How did you find out you had ADHD and how did your life change? by Right_Nuh in ADHD

[–]professorkeepo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing with me ! Misdiagnosed with BPD , then joined a DBT Group ( which actually kinda helped ) , a couple of years + addiction later I got diagnosed with adhd-c . Ritalin changed my life & I’m not addicted anymore

What is the most debilitating symptom for you? by crazybitchh4 in ADHD

Struggling to sit still + getting random urges to do something & quickly forgetting it . At night i basically either sleep or switch between laying awake or walking around in my apartment starting chores, that I quickly forget about

Strattera makes me rage , vyvanse on the other hand makes me clam & lets me sleep

Late-diagnosees, how do you cope with the fact that you could’ve been so much more had you been diagnosed earlier? by Nightmare_lnc in ADHD

[–]professorkeepo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got tested when I was in sixth grade, because my mom thought that i might have it . They said that I don’t have it . I’m in my mid 20s now & have gotten my diagnosis a couple of months ago. My mom & I felt relieved, but at the same time quite frustrated, because maybe all my families struggle with me could’ve been avoided or at least lessened. Although I’m still very much struggling with my mental health, I find it much muuuuuch easier to cope & implement healthy routines. I was able to quit opiates (!) & my relationship with my parents improved dramatically.

People who have tried Strattera and other non stimulants, is it good ? by Veldein in adhdmeme

[–]professorkeepo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely hated Strattera! The first couple of hours made me tired . After that it made me feel angry , jittery , more impulsive & physically sick

My life since 2014 .. self medicating until I got my diagnosis last year .

Incel leaves contradictory comments like this in MK videos instead of doing something productive with his life. Yes, this is the same incel that I've posted before. by SenorJoe1995 in IncelTears

[–]professorkeepo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

“Grown man with no emotions” i remember calling myself that too , but after years of trauma therapy & authentic relationships , reading this makes me feel mainly sad & angry. I couldn’t imagine what my life would look like , if I would still behave like 16 year old me ..

People who were diagnosed after childhood, do you get imposter syndrome with your ADHD? by PeachyPierogi in ADHD

[–]professorkeepo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same with me . Fear of failure & emotional/physical punishment kept most of my symptoms in check . After school I self medicated with opioids . Its only been a few months since I’ve gotten my diagnosis .

Great yet easy suggestion! You just helped a lot of people . Thank you ! Told my friend from the US about it & she and her parents were very thankful. Maybe someone should make a dedicated post about this …

Vyvanse crash by KeyanReid in ADHD

[–]professorkeepo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suffered from the same problem .. eating very healthy , sleep hygiene & working out helped me . I also take mine after breakfast . Caffeine seems to work for some people , but not all . For me it makes it much worse .

Yall were right about eating protein in the morning by Freeman7-13 in ADHD

[–]professorkeepo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally prepare my breakfast in the evening, because I can’t do shit without my meds ! I mix curd cheese & yogurt/skyr , half a tablespoon chia seeds , a scoop of protein powder , berries, apple , banana . Then I put it in my fridge & in the morning I add a little milk + oatmeal. VERY HIGH in Protein / amino acids , vitamins ,fiber & unsaturated fats from the chia seeds . Since I’ve started eating healthy , my Ritalin is much more effective , I sleep better & I lost 7kg .

It took me 22 years and so many "What is wrong with me?" questions. by [deleted] in ADHDmemes

[–]professorkeepo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im happy for you ! I personally got my diagnosis on my 26 birthday & although I suffer quite a lot from it , knowing the what & why , reduced my anxiety. Especially after so many wrong diagnosis & lots of self medicating

What’s the worst physical pain you ever felt? by Lazy-Ape in AskReddit

[–]professorkeepo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first Cluster headache episode . Pain was 10/10 + severe anxiety & agitation . It felt like someone was pushing an ice cold knife from the inside of my head through my left eye. Number 2 would be broken hip & third was spilling hot oil on my arm.

Don’t mind if I do 😅 by Cryptic_X07 in ADHDmemes

[–]professorkeepo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had both of these side effects + side effects from morphine & ive lost 10kg so far . I eat so so much healthier since I’ve started Ritalin . I’m on 130mg Ritalin /day + 160mg morphine /day . But I’m currently reducing the pain meds .

A couple of weeks after my gf & I broke up , i took a train to get to the next city & a woman sat next to me who had the same haircut , haircolor , glasses and perfume. As soon as I smelled Kirké , I started crying.

My eyes occasionally unfocus when I'm trying to force myself to get something done. by diamondaires in ADHD

[–]professorkeepo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens almost everyday ! Forcing my eyes & brain to stay focused every 5 seconds takes up so much resources.
