I am not functional without my medications. I can't do anything or remember anything, I'm extremely out of focus, and I hate myself without my meds. This situation occurred only two years ago, after multiple traumas led to me struggling with anxiety and depression. I was diagnosed at the time, and now my life happens only with ADHD meds.

I’m trying 🤣 can I find solutions that result in desired ‘undoable consistently outcome’ that I need to function in this neuro-dominant world? Can I do it My Way and stay more in my strengths? That’s my goal

Can I remember that for more than 2 weeks 😆

Personally, I can’t. But I’ve met a lot of people in my life who manage their day pretty well without it. Especially those with the hyperactive type of ADHD, which I don’t have.

I'm only medicated at work, so at home I go without meds. Numo and other systems I have implemented makes it so I can still crush my daily tasks without medication :)

I’ve been quite functional without medication for 43 years but it’s definitely easier having them
