Thank you! Definitely worth giving it a shot at least.

I scrolled through and didn’t see this question asked, so I apologize if it’s already been addressed, but..

I just do the regular pill supplement. The citrate form is supposed to be better for absorption. I don’t remember the dosage off hand. My understanding is that it’s better to take with calcium. As far as side effects, it can cause some stomach issues like nausea and diarrhea for some people. And it is possible to get…

Thank you! I appreciate that so much. And I definitely have some of those same struggles you spoke about - my sleeping issues have gotten a lot better in recent years, but for the longest time that was probably what affected my life most negatively. And impulse control is a constant. While I can manage that a little…

That sounds a lot like me. I have a bit of a naturally faster heart rate too, and I think I was up to like 105bpm when my GP was concerned. The Adderall did help a little, so it felt like I was trapped between a rock and a hard place. I knew there was a good chance I would implode my life without the bandaid, but it…

This has been my biggest struggle with it for years. Are you taking anything? Focalin reeeeeeally helped my sleep issues and my daily time management. Also, this book:

Interesting. I’ve never heard of this. Is this a, like, widely known side effect?

I’d like to add the YouTube channel “How to ADHD” to recommendation list.

I think that’s a very fair and true assessment. And I personally don’t have a problem with people critiquing the abuse of ADHD drugs. I think the deluge of these comments aren’t coming from people denying that abuse is a problem. They’re coming from those of us who are just frustrated that ADHD treatment only seems to…

I highly recommend talking to your doctor about this and/or find a new doctor. It’s not good to have your heart racing all the time. I was on 15mg Adderall which I could tell was better than not being on anything for me, but I also felt more like it was a bandaid than a solution. I told my (very shitty) doc about it,…

I think people are woefully unaware of not just the amount of struggle but the complexity and depth of the struggle. Like for me, time management is far and away the most crippling aspect of my issue with focus. It’s by no means the only struggle, but it’s the one that has the most negative effect. I try really,…

I always did well in school (less well in college, but I still managed at an average performance level). I’m thankful I found so many solid coping tactics to get by relatively unscathed, but I always knew something was amiss. When I finally got my official diagnosis of ADHD, Dyslexia, and Dyscalculia after an…

I don’t really get why. As someone who grew up exceptionally poor, I would find it infuriatingly dense if she were saying it as universal advice or telling others she found some secret philosophy to living. But she said it as more of a personal revelation. She grew up with so much money, and she still stayed for 3…

My first boyfriend told me that he had a crush on Gadget from Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers when he was a kid. Another ex told me that the dance scene w Miss Kitty Mouse in The Great Mouse Detective was the first time he was aware of feeling weird and tingly. Huh, I’m just realizing that I might have a thing for guys who…

I think it’s more likely that you missed what was being said in the original post. I don’t believe OP was saying that boys are believed when they’re being molested but girls are not. I believe that OP was saying that believing the word of a bystander who is a boy when the word of the girl (who was directly victimized)…

But the thing is that the male student they believed wasn’t molested.

The first season is on Hulu, and both seasons are on the FXNOW app. I think those are the only two sources to legally stream the show.

Yeah, I’m procrastinating at work, so I totally get it. And for an “inadequate” response, it was really well made. I have felt iffy about the comparison to being transgender, but I also couldn’t articulate an adequate reasoning for why it’s offensive that couldn’t conceivably be made against those who are transgender.…

This is by far the most valid and persuasive explanation I have heard/read thus far. It’s still not definitive enough for me to use it to confidently shape my own stance on this issue though.

I feel the matter is made complex by the amount of subtle mysogny directed at Clinton during this race (not to say their isn’t overt mysogny, but it’s the subtle mysogny that we as a society struggle to recognize and therefore struggle to overcome).
