@andr3wsky: Got me out here mourning the person I could have been if I’d known about this sooner, a person who would certainly have been more kind and patient and a better son and friend and partner. Someone who listened. I’ve always wanted to be that person
Fair warning, first week on meds feel like this. It is the peak level. Your meds will still help in a few weeks, but it will never feel this much like crisp fall air.

My first time taking adhd medication I actually cried at the wasted potential of what could have been if I was diagnosed as a kid

1) My sister was diagnosed in her 30s; I haven't tested. I started antidepressants in my 20s because I needed them but I already have had to mourn the person I could have been if someone had seen me.

When kid1 got put on ADHD meds, I freaked out b/c he played for HOURS on a single thing. I called Dr who told me to leave kid TF alone b/c he was enjoying quiet for the 1st time in his life.

I was shocked to learn not everyone wakes up singing a random song in your head. like the moment your brain becomes conscious again. WHAT?!

I say it’s like driving my whole life in the wrong gear and working too hard to go anywhere. Medicating is like shifting into the correct gear.

I was just raw dogging it for a decade thinking everyone spent their whole work day in existential dread. Meds felt like magic. Like I quantum leapt into another timeline where I could get shit done.

I once had a child come home from school and declare,"I took a test today and didn't hear the clock ticking and people swallowing." That was astounding!
