Caffeine, anger, and anxiety…
Caffeine leads to anxiety
Anxiety leads to anger
Anger leads to the Dark Side
I’ve had so many people be surprised when I tell them caffeine gives me major anxiety…I thought it was common knowledge that it did that but apparently it’s not. Glad to see some organic outside confirmation lol.
My favorite dark side is French Roast.
Only when the dead line is close though
You need pressure to create diamonds!
I am 50 and was just recently diagnosed and started taking meds.
The difference has been night and day. I still struggle to take my pull in the morning sometimes
I look back on my life and wonder what I could have accomplished if I had been diagnosed and treated earlier.
Replace caffeine with weed and yes.
Have you tried caffeine AND weed? It was truly a magical combination for me.
I prefer both caffeine and weed
Lots of caffeine to bring you up during the day and alcohol to slow the racing thoughts at night. It’s no way to live.
Every once in a while I still encounter parents who are hesitant to get their ADHD kid on meds. I try to explain to them that it’s not really about performance in school even if that’s where it was first noticed.
It’s about keeping them from killing themselves or engaging in incredibly self destructive behavior.
I got to experience that a couple of days ago. I should probably get diagnosed…
Please do, it’s very helpful in just the knowing aspect and being told explicitly how it can and does affect you. Can help you manage it better even when you’re not on meds
The way the trump admin is going and his potential “wellness farms”, being undiagnosed might be better
Not everyone lives in America though
When the fire hose of right wing propaganda fueled by a trillion dollar military gets turned on, you will eventually.
It has helped me mentally to understand. Medicine doesn’t do much except allow me to get things I just fucking don’t care about, done at work.
If I want to be able to enjoy things in my free time I’ll have to be up all night, or drink myself asleep.
I find doing CrossFit multiple times a week helps at night. Turns out if you are sufficiently physically exhausted the thoughts tend to slow down. But if they don’t that’s fine because you are liable to pass out as soon as you stop moving.
i thought i could do this since i stopped taking Ritalin around 10/11. huge mistake, massive lol. i am now in a PHP for psychiatric intervention. i have fucked up oh boy.
Whats going on mate? How are you?
Just saving shit like this to show my brother how much he relates
Life is taking me raw and tbh staying OFF of caffeine has helped me. Sleep is hella important for my insomniac ass.
I stick to concerta, thank you.
Focalin my beloved
Caffeine does pretty much nothing for me
I learned recently that high caffeine tolerance is a telltale symptom of ADHD!
As if I needed another lol
I had a lovely conversation with another unmedicated parent. It’s the first time in a while that the mask came off a bit in that circle. It was nice.
Just raw dogging reality
Yeah, dunno. The problem is, that reality in this case is often perceived through a filter of “not being good enough” and “people dislike me” and stuff like that. It’s not really reality, is it.
Yeah, that’s the idea I was trying to get at, but I am not good with words.
Just gonna keep ignoring these increasingly relevant memes and move on, fuck you very much.
Real question: what kind of content do you expect from this community?
At its core, ADHD is just a vague, flexible list of symptom checkboxes that are part of the neurodivergent spectrum. Tick enough of the boxes, and you are considered ADHD. Tick enough of some other boxes, and you are considered autistic. Tick enough ADHD and autism boxes, and you’re AuDHD.
The vast majority of people will tick at least one box from the neurodivergent list, this is what people mistakenly refer to as “everyone is a little bit autistic”, and is why these memes can apply to a lot of people, or not apply to you at all as someone with an ADHD diagnosis.
Anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
Oh I’m just strolling on through from the equivalent of an “all” type page lol tho I guess maybe I should subscribe…
That too is a symptom 😈
Caffeine and spite here.
Caffeinated spite crew checking in. Tell me I can’t, go on, tell me. I fucking will. Fuck you.
Why is Mac wearing a hardhat?
Because the meme can work a lot of construction workers also.
It was originally for some kind of electricians iirc
I think a lot of people in general feel this and think it’s specific to their job, mental disorder, what have you
Also, lets be real, tradesman is a pretty neurodiverse job choice.
If you’re neurodiverse and good at school, you go into engineering. If you’re neurodiverse and better with your hands, you go into a trade. And there’s even some mobility between the two to make my point.
