How has your experience with taking ADHD been? Do you feel "better"?

I'm still navigating the process of finding the right fit. Since I also struggle with anxiety, it often complicates the picture. I recently tried a non-stimulant; although it didn't cause side effects, it didn't give me that "clarity" I was hoping for. I’ve stopped that specific treatment, but I’m determined to keep looking for a solution. Even without physical hyperactivity, my mind is constantly cluttered. I tend to hyperfocus and lose all sense of time. It's like having a "noisy" brain that never stops analyzing. This leads to frustrating mistakes, like double-booking or getting dates wrong in my calendar. Between the ADHD and my work-life balance, the stress is becoming hard to manage and my immunity goes down when I can't handle it anymore.

Have you ever tried a mantra? When I remember to use it 🙄 it’s a great way to give my overactive brain something else to do besides chewing me up or tearing me down 🤣

I think it would help if you tried stimulant medication. For me it helped a lot with the noisy brain thing.
