The number one thing that brings together everyone with ADHD: self-criticism!

ADHD Coach, I'm going to have to look into that... Into the Rabbit hole I go.

I was watching the body language panel and your video popped up. Ditched their video for yours. Always lovely to hear more about your ADHD journey and see you here on KZfaq. I was diagnosed in October this year by Psychiatry UK. I’m waiting to go on medication. Hearing you talk about your experiences makes me feel less alone. You’re doing a great job under difficult circumstances. Loved the figit toys and your rainbow furry pencil case. I think the figit toy you had as a child was a spinning top. That’s what they were called when I was a kid. I’m nearly 50 so they may have been called something different when you were a kid. 🐰💕✏️🌈

Research into Strattera. I did and although it seemed like a great idea after the research I wasn’t sure. It may take a few weeks to work and it can make you feel sleepy. Also a few KZfaqrs didn’t notice a difference in their inattentive symptoms.

Hey! I recently came across your channel and really appreciate finding a KZfaqr who is so open and honest about the ups and downs that come with mental health. I was wondering, do you have any tips for journalling for self-improvement? I am looking to start journalling more consistently and would love to hear/see a video about the different journals you have and what you find yourself sticking to vs. things you have a hard time keeping up with. I'm definitely one to start a million different notebooks and never finish any of them!

The bonus content is very interesting and fun, cheers. Wonder if you do any kind of self-scoring for your adhd symptoms? I do it pretty much every day and have over 150 entries. I started meds in July 2022 and am only finding a combo and dose now (25mg Strattera plus 30mg Elvanse is what seems to work well). It’s very useful for seeing what meds, doses, timings, food and med holidays (weekends or longer occasionally) works best. It’s also very helpful for seeing how my ADHD symptoms return when I go off meds so I know what benefits they are having. As someone once said: life is lived moving forwards but understood looking backwards. Having the scores from the past is really interesting…analysing them let’s me move forward with great information and hopefully make solid decisions and get the results im after. From what you said at the start of the video, it sounds like you and your coach do something similar in evaluating productivity. Highly recommend this kind of thing to anyone. Be your best self 🎉

Oh my gosh, that must be so hard. They could have discharged you by mistake. I don't think that they do that before you have medication and the dose you are happy with.
