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?

hey steve, firstly you haven't done anything wrong. having adhd is really hard. i also have had many therapists etc but i'll be honest, it got easier for me when i started and then stopped taking medication. i found that just by living as a 'normal' person on the adhd medication for a few weeks i was able to find out strategies that just worked. i now find it alot easier to stick to them without taking medication because i know that i have done it before and now know how to do it if that makes sense i also found this book How to Keep House While Drowning by kc davis really practical when it came to strategy on keeping things in order around the house.
