The single most thing that improved your ADHD?

My single biggest thing changed over time. Here comes a novel (caveat this turned out like a cheesy LinkedIn post, UGH apologies)

1st big thing - meditating.

• my brain could use itself to help itself?! holy 🍴ing 👕 🥎 whaaat
• lots at first, then I didn’t need as much
• gave me the mindset to finally get a diagnosis

Then with that meds became the biggest

• newest types were ok, too anxious tho
• switched to older type of med & lower dose: cheaper & way less faff if I run out or forget

Each was the biggest at its time. & once i got them, I needed less of each. Together they got me to an ok place. But still I wasn’t waking up & looking for jobs or being great to friends & family (here comes the vomitrocious LinkedIn part) —

Whatever magic works, they got me almost there, to where I could get a big chance (job, a partner I love, etc). But there they stop, that’s all the job they can do. For me, it’s me who has to do the work now. Couldn’t have done it without them, but they can’t do it all for me 🤷‍♂️

OP idk what will work for you & obviously this isn’t an answer you thought you were looking for. But I know your urge to seek out something now, means there is a future you who finds it

My story is a silly LinkedIn post & sorry for that , but… it’s true: your neuro-fucking-awesome brain will always tell you what’s right. That voice won’t ever leave you, even though it’s really quiet. So: idk, just go slowly & listen to your own brain 🧠 👍🙏💪
