So my ukulele capo vanished into thin air. I'm sure it will show up somewhere. Whilst looking into that, I investigated studying engineering, and realised another four years of uni is not up my alley. All whilst juggling competing deadlines. My psychologist asked me if I can see a psychiatrist because she thinks ADHD meds would really help, but then I'd be out of pocket. Now I'm making an appointment to see the GP who gave me the wrong dosage of Vyvanse initially which caused a literal and spiritual headache. Too much going on.
I have adhd and vyvanse fucked me up. Had to take something different
Can I ask if you're taking a short acting medication now?
Yeah I take dexamphetamine. Was far better suited for me. Took a little experimentation to find the right dose.
I don't recognise who I was before the treatment. Truly.
I would do the best you can to keep following up and trying to get the right medication. I could never imagine that I'd be where I am now before the medication.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
I want to be able to say the same thing about myself, because I think I've hit rock bottom. I am going to follow up with the GP about the meds (a year and a half later after I was supposed to).
I think I can relate to that feeling. Just before I was properly diagnosed I could no longer do even the things I loved.
Executive dysfunction had basically ruined my life.
Keep trying! It's worth all the effort I promise you. But I know how hard it is to follow through on stuff when you're not getting treatment.
Thanks for giving me hope!!
