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 been dealing with it even before i knew i had it 1. Did it get easier? Dealing with it? yes The symptoms? no I tried ritalin but it drove me anxious and i had to stop. i'm highly functional on ritalin, spongebob squarepants without it. 2. Where did you go wrong? I wouldn't say you got anything wrong but there's much more than meds and counseling. Running/Physicsl exercise helps a lot, playing video games, learning how your brain functions and respecting hyperfocus it's not always pleasant but adhd is kkke then a song you HATE is stuck in your mind. Sometimes you've gotta listen to it until the end so you can feel relief. 🫂

Thankfully I'm doing much better now! I started bupropion and it's really got me feeling a bit sharper. Not necessarily super focused but I've gotten *really* good at cleaning around the house, which has overall made me feel a lot better.
