From people who came through it
“For someone just starting with ADHD: the pharmacy shortage is real and it is not your fault. I learned to call around to different pharmacies when mine is out. Also, the late fees from forgetting bills, set up auto-pay if you can. It saved me. And find something that lets you move, for me it is dancing on Fridays. It helps with the restless energy. You are not lazy, your brain is just wired different. Keep going.”
auntiebike1973 · been through adhd“I was sure I'd never feel normal again. I was wrong. Try not to make big decisions on the wosrt days. I learned that the hard way. Keep going, even slowly.”
teaseed87 · been through adhd“You're not lazy. I believed that for years. School made me think it. But it's not true. The waiting lists are real. So is the frustration. Get someone to help you fight for the assessment. And ignore the comments about your body. People say things without thinking. It's not about you. It's about them. Find the small things that calm you. For me it's a cup of tea before the kids wake up. That's enough for now.”
True Crow · been through adhd“A note for the next person. Nearly four years ago I was exactly where you are. Back then it was an assessment waiting list of three years. I'm volunteering here now. You get yourself back in pieces.”
