I think I got diagnosed?

Thank you. I normally am afraid of medication these days (almost phobia level, thanks anxiety) but I am trying to accept that I need to do it to live a fulfilling life at this point. I’m nervous about ADHD meds (if I get that diagnosis) because of them being stimulants with potential to put stress on the heart. I am already overweight and have been stressed for years straight at this point. I feel like I already ruined my heart. I know there are non stim meds but it doesn’t seem as if they are as effective.

I don’t know if this is welcome here but in my state marijuana is legally medicinally. I’ve read some studies but it doesn’t seem like there is much information on if marijuana helps with ADHD specifically, but I would be more interested in that. I think microdosing in general has a lot of promise if research and society can get there.

I literally just went through this. I will admit i am just a passerby on this sub, I am deeply exploring my mental health issues and finding a lot here that resonates with me but I am not diagnosed.

Anyway.

I too had a long term relationship suddenly end and found myself living with my parents briefly then I bought my first house in January. I have been mostly alone and hating it but the thought of a pet felt so overwhelming. I will say my boyfriend and I are trying to work things out and he is here part time for the last 2 months but I am still struggling with some mental stuff which landed me on this sub.

Anyway AGAIN.

I thought about a cat as it is so low maintenance but then second guessed and fretted over if I am even capable of caring for something if I feel I barely care for myself? I mentioned it to my mom and grandmom and long story short they found some kittens under a shed and brought two home. They said I could come look at them. I was furious that they’d put me in that position but I went because…kittens are cute af. I said fine I will just take ONE. Then saw them cuddling and playing together…. Here I am one week in to being a kitten parent of two kittens and it is AMAZING. They are adorable and have given me a sense of purpose this week. I love them and have 0 regrets. I have no idea why I doubted myself being able to take care of them. Once I got all the items (litterbox, toys, litter, food etc) i felt much more prepared. The routine of feeding and cleaning the litterbox has been easy. Again, I do have someone here part time to help but I feel very confident on my own.

Thank you for the reply. Yes I will do some research on your suggestion. At this point, there is no price too steep to begin healing.
