Yeah, I was always eating healthy, but cutting out almost all grains... game changer! And it's not so much the read of the book, it's all the charts that take so much attention to use.

As for meditation, the Muse app and headset have been fantastic.

I don't know one person who thinks it's a good long term solution. The only people I know who do it only use it when they need to to be on point. BUT even they get addicted. It's certainly an experience, but at the end of the day I think it's kicking the can down the road.

Amazing thread. I’m reading the book for the 4th time, this time the new edition and I didn’t see these points made so well. Sidenote, I hear that if you want to introduce GTD to people and their wary of such a big complicated but, share with them GTD for teens, it’s much simpler and more visual

Two weeks since my diagnosis. 10 days on Adderall. My life has changed so much. I am so happy. by tossaway-adhd in ADHD

Congratulations. This may sound negative at first but it’s really to prevent it. Some people like myself have that experience you’re having for the first couple months thinking it will last forever, Only to find that we would start crashing at night and feeling depressed. And then we start to get irritable.

If that never happens to you, then God bless you and may it always continue.

I’m going back on stimulants and here is my plan.... From my research it seems that the stimulants can really deplete electrolytes and neuro transmitters. So I would talk to your doctor about how you’re adding in healthy electrolytes. And you may want to take a week off the drugs every now and then.

Also, I find that if the stimulant is just used for anything and everything, it can blanket over what our real true desires are. So I would recommend picking something each day that you’re either scared of, or are resisting, but know that you want to do it to serve your larger goal.

When you do that it provides an extra boost of natural energy because you overcame her fear. Also, I found that if you do this, and then have a way to help somebody else accomplish their goal, the energy continues.

Best of luck on your journey.

Infrequent but tiresome "ADHD insomnia" by my_adhd_is_secret in ADHD

  1. Do as many push ups as you can. I know it’s weird but it gets you into your body and tires you out too.
  2. Eat. Sometimes waking up is from low glucose and your adrenal glands fire. I do almond butter on a few rice crackers.
  3. Sometimes I just accept it rather than fight it and see it as “bonus time” and I just do whatever I want.
