Sidenote, what helps people to deal with ADHD (or to benefit from it)?

One day recently I was FOUR HOURS EARLY to a doctor appointment. On the way there I happened to pass by Disneyland so I spontaneously stopped & played there for 3 hours. Best day ever.
I love seeing shaveposts in the wild!
… Heeeeey what time is it meant to be? It has been afternoon at least for a while but their appointment is in 6 hours? That doesn’t add up, unless that doctor takes patients at night! What are you hiding?!
(Sorry, I’ve just binge-watched a bunch of Only Murders in the Building)
Sidenote, what helps people to deal with ADHD (or to benefit from it)?
- Medicine
- cognitive behavioral therapy
- lot’s of different “tools”, because they’ll all won’t work someday. e.g.:
I’ve got multiple other neuro divergent colleagues and we’ll often have a phone call open just to work alongside each other, because we all benefit from that external form of commitment. But that sometimes to much of a distraction and than it’s time to blast loud music in a darkned room with nothing else but “work stuff” in it.
You can also “use” other people for coworking simply by going to a place where people work in public like a library, unless your work is bound to a place or distracts others.
Never got into the silent call for work thing, but probably I’m just too antisocial. This all tracks, I do/did most of the other stuff.
Getting into meditation is also something I can recommend, just for the practice it gives you with wrangling your internal cacophony.
some non-ripoff meditation resources
https://mindfulnessexercises.com/audio-library/ has a free library of guided meditations. I can personally recommend Tara Brach & Jack Kornfield.
I self medicate with caffeine, maintain a strong routine, work in a task oriented field/frame all my work as tasks, take advantage of hyper focus sessions to knock out a shit ton of work, and set alarms on my phone for when to start things.
I’m 42 now and was diagnosed with ADD when I was in the 2nd grade.
waow, this meme is so me again, nyaaa
waaaaaaaaaaaa what helps, i wanna find it, without stimulants awawawawawawaa
cw meds(recreational use)
anecdotally pregabalin helped me VERY much, but i got tolerance to any effect(even lable ones) very very fast in 4 days, i took it at night, feel insane stimulation up to dont having desire to sleep(did twice daytime instead), but having strong desire todo something, it was weirrrd, i was productive even at night, focused, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, my post-antipsychotic motor trash was repaired, “body high” it was aweeesommeee, sensory load was better, mind is pretty structured, visual processing better, somewhat euphoria yuh, but not drunk not sedated(stimulated instead), just maybe feeling more “normal”
well it was pretty low dose within theraupetic, i was felt that effect going away similar ~ to half-life duration, adhd rebound etc
stimulants in this faschist asshole are banned completly(prison for getting it from somewhere else)
guanfacine/clonidine is approved for adhd, but i had as muscle relaxant somehwat similar to clonidine, tizanidine, but got tolerance to it very fast like 3-4 days maybe after every dose increase, does clonidine will be same?
That reminds me I have to get an appointment for my next vaccination. Luckily I can set that early in the day!
