ADHD PI

I have it, was diagnosed at 14 and I just know I have no executive function

reddit gets a bad wrap on this site for good reason, but the adhd subreddit is actually... pretty damn good.

its too slow
plus I just want to know how you guys manage, I am a mess
I dont know how could I ever manage to study a career without some sort of medication
im drinking large amounts of coffee and it barely helps even tho I heard a lot of people that use caffeine as an alternative to meds and it works great for them

I think its a motivational issue so I might be alone in this problem, thats my concern
a lot of people have adhd-pi but is there any of them here that cant read more than a page of text to save their life? I feel retarded

have you watched the Dr. barkley videos?

of course its a motivational issue... its an executive function disorder. Technically its a disability but we haven't gotten that far along yet..

I'm 25, diagnosed at 14, currently unmedicated and the only thing that keeps me somewhat normal is running and eating clean.

If I deviate from those two I get mood swings like crazy, I do impulsive stuff, I can't sleep, I get frustrated just listening to people talk and waiting for them to finish their sentences, etc, a lot of dumb shit

imo medication isn't a solution but neither is non-medicating... ADHD is a physical structure deficiency in the brain, it's not something you can completely overcome and 'defeat' with will power and effort.

It's always gonna be there and you just have to learn how to manage. It gets easier with age, but harder at the same time, if that makes any sense..

I think I did, it rings a bell
>the only thing that keeps me somewhat normal is running and eating clean.
this, I know its time for me to start a healthier lifestyle but I just dont want to
ill start going to the gym next monday

I was on ritalin for a while but it stopped working, ive read that exercise and a healthy diet makes it more efficient tho

definintely watch them all or just dl them and listen, they really paint a clear picture of what ADHD is and what it is not, and he is very good at speaking in laymans terms

Yeah man I have the same problem, I always go back and forth.. the thing that always gets me going again is trying to remember how good I feel when I complete a long run or lift.. and I just try to focus on that.

But even if you do go days/weeks without eating healthy/working out, don't beat yourself up, we do that enough to ourselves as it is.. just gotta be patient with yourself and be honest.
