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 had fully submitted to just taking small doses if adderal for years. And then I decided I wanted to get into shape and I did strict keto and then moved to time restricted eating 8/16. Fasting completely changed my life. My sleep immediately improved and my ability to go to sleep and everything I associated with “adhd” went away. I can focus on one tasks at a time and compartmentalize thoughts easily now. ADHD doesn’t really exist as an actual disease. That’s recently made up to pump people with pills. It’s a genetic variant that many people have and it’s increased by inflammation and inputs that we give our bodies. I didn’t expect fasting to have this effect but I complete erased it for me. It takes a long time to really have an affect and everyone is different genentically, but it’s one data point for you to consider :)
