Okay, I think I discovered today why my #ADHDisaster ass was feeling like my #ADHD meds weren't as effective...I forgot I was using my stockpile bottle that was over a year old 😅
While I'm sure the meds are okay if they are stored properly, I'd been taking this bottle with me in my bag to and fro and there is a very real chance it was expired.
Meanwhile, I took a dose from my new bottle earlier today...and, oh yeah, that's how that's supposed to feel when it works 😅😅😅
#ADHD and #kinetic brains - do you have any good tricks for getting yourself to do mental or intellectual work when your brain is hyperfocused on something else?
Last few days, my brain is completely interested and trying to pull me towards certain entertainment content, but I have a lot of work I need to do for my dayjob that requires my brain to be able to focus and flow, at least a bit. And I am STRUGGLING to get my brain to stop interrupting my work focus every five seconds to tell me to play a game or read a comic.
My usual coping skills ain't working (e.g. basic mindfulness, using music to change the emotional context of work, trying to grab onto the tasks that interest me, etc.), and I'd love new ideas!
Yes, I just took my adderall with a cup of coffee, and it basically has only helped me achieve putting the laundry in the washing machine and then the dryer, but failing to fold it. You think I might have ADHD, I wonder why? 😅
