From people who came through it

  • โ€œFor anyone new to this: I've been there. For me it was in 2023. I remember a medication shortage at the pharmacy like it was yesterday. Yesterday I booked a holiday. Be gentle with yourself.โ€

    Randy from Cleveland L ยท been through adhd
  • โ€œPlease be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder so I tell myself it's a wave and it will pass and it always has so far. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ€

  • โ€œA 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.โ€

    Hina B. ยท been through adhd
  • โ€œFor 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€
