โFor 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.โ
โDear stranger, i was where you are in 2022. For me it was forgetting bills and the late fees. This week I went back to my evening class. Praying for you.โ
โI've been there. For me it was in 2023. The worst part was starting six projects. Now I sleep most nights. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. Be gentle with yourself.โ
โYou'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.โ
