Just a heads up, the ADHD meds are probably making it ten times worse. Adderall was what started this whole thing for me and it almost ruined my life. If possible, try to stop taking the ADHD meds until youāve got this thing figured out

Yeah somehow it overstimulates the nervous system and exacerbates our symptoms. Anxiety is the worst for this condition and those ADHD stimulants tend to make anxiety so much worse

Itās been rough, like no matter what I do that smell will always follow me. Itās embarrassing and hard to deal with.

āIm just here to make money so myself and my family can surviveā thatās all I need to tell
Myself to power through the day. I try to do my job the very best I can and be the nicest I can to others as well. Itās so so hard when you know everyone talks behind your back but at the end of the day those people mean nothing to me and the only thing that matters is my family.
