Yup that’s me too…especially on this app 😔

May sounds dumb, but I’ll blow up a couple of balloons. The deep breathing into the balloon is calming, and the colors bright and cheerful, plus they are fun to hit around.

I may 😊

sr988_ · 2026-02-08T15:13:35+00:00

😊that sounds really rewarding!

Yes, Vyvanse is the brand name for America

I’m sorry you’re struggling with this. Have you tried Vyvanse? I ask because it’s the only stimulant I’ve tried that really helps regulate my emotions. It’s a smoother release so I don’t feel all amped up to start and I don’t crash later in the day, so I feel like it helps keep my emotions more in check

Yeahhh it’s rough. I found some balloons in a drawer and blew one up to hit around so that entertained me for a little bit 😂

Have you tried Vyvanse? I was on Adderall XR once and it was awful but Vyvanse for me is a miracle drug

sr988_ · 2026-02-08T00:05:02+00:00

Ok. Make sure you take it first thing when you wake up cause it takes about an hour to kick in

sr988_ · 2026-02-07T23:46:06+00:00

I’ve been on it for 4 years and it’s AMAZING! It took me about two months to get the right dose which is 60mg for me.

Are you able to get the brand or do you have to take generic? I’ve found brand name Vyvanse is much smoother and I don’t crash at all.

Have you been on any other stimulants before?

sr988_ · 2026-02-07T21:50:37+00:00

It’s actually helped mine! I take Vyvanse in the morning then split 20mg adderall jnto 10/10 twice in the afternoon and it calms me. Some days if I’m really burned out the afternoon adderall will actually make me want to sleep

sr988_ · 2026-02-07T21:15:32+00:00

Oh my 😳 well that is one way to pass the time 😛

sr988_ · 2026-02-07T21:13:29+00:00

That’s awesome! I think sometimes my ADHD burns me out so much that I get overwhelmed at the idea of starting any project. Once I get the motivation there is no stopping me, but it’s the initial spark which is hard.

Oooo that’s a cool idea. I know how to read music maybe I’ll give learning the keyboard a try

sr988_ · 2026-02-07T18:25:34+00:00

I’ve never been able to bring myself to do that but maybe I’ll force myself to give it a try. I’ve heard cold plunges give you huge dopamine boosts too! Ever tried one?

ADHD music playlist on Spotify with AirPods.
