ADHD meds changed my life for a magical summer. Vyvanse was like a magic potion. I lost 60 lbs without even trying, organized the house, got delayed medical care, all the things.
But that was 2016 and my anxiety level rose all summer and I started having panic attacks in traffic by fall. I worked with an ADHD coach that summer and learned a bunch of skills, so now I’m 10 min early for appts, my bills are paid on time, I can plan vacations.
Now I take Ritalin and it works well. No magic, just hard work.
My house is a disaster area though. We just don’t have any storage. One 2’ hall closet. I needs lots of labeled bins but there isn’t any space. Arg.
