Yay, bikes!

Can we get snacks?

What kind of lightbulb? Where will we buy it from? Is this the best option? I read about this one sort, but us it really worth it? If I do my own research I’m sure I’ll find the better solution. I saw two bikes for free in the alley today! Omg I was supposed to start dinner an hour ago.

ye- OH LOOK A DOG!

How do you ride a bike?

The chances this man doesn't have adhd are immensely close to 100

Ooo! Bikes! Wait- I have a school project- and dinner- and my dog to take care of- should I eat now or take care of the dog now? The project can wait, dog & food is most important right? My teacher said I could fail if i miss this project though- Eat, ride bikes and walk the dog, then pull an all-nighter working on the project-

Did you see that really pretty leaf?

how does the gearing on a bike work *takes bike apart*

Oooh bikes!!! There was this one time I was riding my bike and the- OMG A DOG LOOK

Yes bike rides! Let me research all the cool things to do with bikes, spend a ton of money buying things, then use it once, if at all. Sigh....

If your meds made you a zombie they gave you the wrong meds or wrong doze.... I think doctors today are too quick to prescribe meds, BUT, they do help (and change the lives) of a lots of people

Agree with the notion that you got the wrong meds. Honestly, there are good aspects, but what is there to embrace if the underlying ADHD cripples your ability in daily life? I am sick of trying to "embrace" my inability to maintain friendships, to follow plans, to have anxiety due to overstimulation, to thrive on structure but at the same time detest routine...managing the symptoms really has a positive impact on the lives of those with ADHD.

It's great that your ADHD has been helpful to you, but for others, including myself, it has been a misery. I am now in my 40's, and finally medicated for the first time in my life. It's like a veil has lifted. I can sit an enjoy a movie without having to have 3 other things going at the same time. I can have a conversation with a friend and focus on what is said instead of whatever other random thing comes to my brain. I'm less forgetful, more present in my every day life. I was incorrectly diagnosed and medicated up to this point, which only made things harder. Everyone with adhd has had it "all their life", and always will. It's just more of a struggle for some than others.

There are many ADHD meds and it’s not a one size fits all. My husband used to be on Ritalin when he was younger and yes he did his work and concentrated better. BUT he hasn’t been able to retain the information he learnt during those times. I had a class mate who was on dexaphetamines and he was like a zombie, it was like he was in a daydream and on auto pilot. We tried for many years to help manage our daughters ADHD without meds but after 7 years of no results we tried her on a non stimulant called Strattera but it made her suicidal. Now the Paediatrician wants to try another called Guanfacine but my daughter is hesitant and I want to do more research on it coz I have never heard of it before. Everyone reacts differently and what work for some may not work for others. It’s trial and error.

thats a bad attitude to take esp cause there are ATLEAST 6 diffrent conditions that qualify as ADHD* so what works for you won't work for me and vice verssa this was discovered by a doctor who insists on brain scans of all his patinets before he perscribes meds he has them watch videos while they get a scan to see what parts of their brain light up and he had found 6 diffrent patterns at that time and had holy been at it for a few years

My ADHD destroyed my education and career dreams. If I had been on my meds from early age, everything would've been different. I strongly feel you're lying because ADHD meds don't make you feel like a zombie.
