I feel that. Without caffeine and anger I would just be a sad, highly compressed ball of sadness and stress and sadness.

I literally made a custom shirt that says "Fueled by caffeine and spite".

This post is forgetting the alcohol

Alcohol makes me angry at the world. Weed glues me to the couch.

[–] athkore@feddit.nu 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So alcohol for productivity

Nicotine and generational trauma seems to work, too.

I've been on all kinds of medications from age 7 to 26.

Ritallin sped up my heart and I couldn't keep up in gym class because I was constantly catching my breath.

Concerta/dexadrine took away my appetite. One bite every meal, then I was full. I was pathetically skinny and got called anorexic all the time.

Straterra made me tired and drousy all day, I was sexually frustrated because my dick would REFUSE to get hard, and then I would wake up at night, not being able to sleep.

I'm 31 and madication free for 6 years, and have learned to overcome my ADHD on my own. Never swallowing a other ADHD pill again, fuck that shit entirely.

Glad you got it under control without the pills that made you feel bad. Happy for you

I wish I could get diagnosed

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Me too. Wish my wife would understand, when I'm being productive and ... crotchety, its basically never because she's done anything wrong, and forcing me to calm down is going to leave us all disappointed.

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

I'm sorry for that :/

Caffeine makes me sleepy. :(

[–] Vibi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Same... It's like 20 minutes of focus and then I need a nap 🤷‍♀️ When I was younger, I'd just inhale energy drinks, but the crashes just kept coming faster and faster.

[–] RageAgainstTheRich@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I get sleepy at around noon no matter what i do. I have medication but it doesn't do shit anymore. I need a nap.

The ONLY thing that works is if I'm either really busy or really upset. That is the only way i don't feel tired. 😩

I live by the rule of 200 mg to go slow, 400 mg to go fast.

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, that first pot of coffee is just for lulz and keeps me just coherent long enough for my Adderall to kick in.

If you want extra difficulty, I can recommend you Valproic-acid. It's essentially an ADHD worsener, except you're not really allowed to talk about that due to some people showing toxic positivity to psychiatric medication, in this case it's also an anti-seizure medication.

I wish weed helped me but it makes me so much worse.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 13 points 11 months ago

Can't fucking stand it. Oh, yeah, make me both completely unable to pay attention to anything and unable to be truly frustrated by that. Don't even get the dopamine people say you're supposed to get more of than the normies, it just makes everything worse.

Ah, is that where my anger problems come from?

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago (14 children)

I so badly want to be medicated again. However I'll require yet another diagnosis even though I have 3 throughout the years. Problem is, it's too difficult for me to get all my ducks in a triangle to get the process moving

Anyways I hear meth works pretty much the same plus it's easier to get so yeah imma check that out

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

... Uh.... Your mileage may vary.

Caffeine & Daily Exercise & a job that is flexible about how we do things. I have only worked at startups and places that change systems a lot, that seems to suit my nature better somehow.

But my favorite T-shirt says

Whiskey and Yoga

Wonder how the rate of undiagnosed ADHD is...

Caffeine, anger, and a commitment to the bit.

[–] lessthanluigi@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Huh, so THAT's the reason why I listen to so much Punk Rock

[–] wren@feddit.uk 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

AuDHD and completely caffeine free (and stimulant/meds/drugs free too). Caffeine definitely doesn't work for me like it does for other people - makes me sleepy and headachey. I'd rather just work with what I've got, (noise cancelling headphones + being inflexible) even if it has limitations

Caffeine worsens my existential panics, so I got that going for me, which is not nice.
