Anyone who’s dealt with ADHD long enough: has it ever gotten easier? I feel like since becoming aware of the symptoms the struggle has only worsened, despite always considering myself decently self-aware. I don’t know if it’s just the compounding responsibilities of work, marriage, parenthood, and adulthood. Or if it’s some weird permanent brain fog from covid. Or a tangible side effect of being plugged into crypto almost 24/7 for three years. Or just a dwindling sense of agency and direction and control of emotions. But it’s been six years now that I’ve seen three therapists, one psychiatrist with a brief round of antidepressants, and tried numerous tools and tricks yet it all feels like it’s falling apart. Where did I go wrong?

i have less symptoms when i'm able to do the following but its hard to do the following cause of said adhd lol - sleep 7-8 hrs - strength training 30 mins a day - walk 10k steps - healthy meals w/ balanced macros and 30 grams of protein per meal minimun - reduce/remove inflammatory foods - avoid alcohol - avoid added sugars - some form of mindfulness practice prob missing some other stuff but for the most part being able to do all or some of these helps me a ton. i'm at peace w this being a neverending battle on a swinging pendulum. having systems in place to get these done is crucial for me.

Of all of these I currently just do the 7-8 hr sleep and avoid alcohol. Everything else I can and should find time for, if even just once a week! Though, isn’t it bad to do constant exercise with no breaks? Or is that more for not overworking specific muscle groups?
