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?

Our bodies are amazing biological machines that can take a good beating. We grow stronger through these beatings as long as we properly rest in between and fuel with nutritious food. With only 30 minutes, it is actually challenging to overwork the muscle groups unless you're a beginner and your intensity output is at like a 9-10, but even then, your body adapts. It is def important to have a system/routine in place so you are hitting different muscle groups on different days. With the right routine, only 3-4 days of the week could suffice.
