I always forget about my naval. When I was younger I would never wash behind my ears.

    Having been there; see if you can get a diagnosis. The medication is way cheaper and allowed me to stop self medicating completely, which has all sorts of other benefits.

      No one diagnoses that here, I live in a fucked up country. Have to go abroad for that, but currently, no money for that, have a small kid 🤷.

        You might be able to find something tele-medicine related. I’m bout familiar with your specifics, but thought I’d mention it.

        Good luck friend. The struggle is real.

        One option would be to buy Vyvanse on the darknet and stick to a small dose of 30mg/day for at least 8 weeks before you change anything. You don’t need a doctor to tell you that and it will improve your life immensely with very few minor side effects. Also likely cheaper than whatever you’re currently self-medicating with and the other hidden costs of living with undiagnosed ADHD.

        But it’s probably illegal, so you know, don’t do it.

          I got a whole bottle of Vyvanse once and holy shit it was a great couple months, never felt so productive in my life.

          Hm… is that thing expensive on black market? Cuz I can’t spend too much currently 😔.

          I take Escetalopramme currently, 20mg, that’s for my depression and bursts of rage… I didn’t used to have a short fuse, but raising a kid, especially a stubborn one, is not easy, so I started having them when he didn’t listen. Things are good now, haven’t had them in a while and I feel much better, more relaxed and just have more nerves for stupid things that surround me every day… I don’t take them as seriously, just go “meeeh, whatever”. So it’s not bad, but focus is a problem sometimes. Though I do have better focus now, my guess is, thanks to the drug, I would like to improve on that.

            If you’re already on medication, especially for psychological issues, disregard my entire comment.
            You definitely do need a doctor to advise you on (possibly very dangerous) interactions between meds.

              Yeah, that is true…

              I’ll see if I can do it online somehow, pay someone to diagnose me, I really can’t afford to go abroad now 😔.

              Not a doctor obviously, but I’ve been taking escitalopram and vyvanse together as prescribed by my doc. Which should be where it is coming from, honestly, considering it’s basically diet speed lol
