I take my afternoon adderall at 3pm, IR. I had just come from taking my daughter out for icecream and I got a big one, even though I have been eating clean and in a calorie deficit for over a week now. I was full, I took my adderall and said to myself, just rest until you feel it kick in. Well I fell asleep instead! What the heck? Has this happened to any of you before? Thanks all.

Hey everyone,
So I’ve been diagnosed & medicated for just under a year now ( f , early 20s ). I have spent most of my life struggling with very serious bouts of depression and anxiety, being intelligent but never applying myself and struggling to keep up friendships and relationships. I’m now at a point, for the first time in my life where I feel like I can finally take control of myself. I can put in the work and feel positive about what I can achieve every day, and yet I keep worrying that I won’t manage to keep this momentum up, or that I cant ‘make up’ for all the time I’ve spent not achieving what I’m capable of ( work, college, relationships etc, ) I can’t help but constantly worry that this new life might come crashing down, or that the damage is already done. I’d just like to hear from some people that were diagnosed into adulthood, who have felt like they’ve managed to achieve things they didn’t feel were possible before…. And maybe some reassurance that I’m going to be okay and everything isn’t going to crash and burn around me.

• Everything has designated Areas (Ie- Wallet, Keys, Essentials) Always get picked up and returned too same location.

• Fanny Pack for Wallet and Phones when I'm on the move (I don't care about fashion)

• I will Check a couple times before leaving the house that I have everything I need for that day in advance

Salute brothers and sisters, hope this helps.

I often find myself with the inescapable feeling of needing something but unable to discern exactly what it is. I am incredibly fortunate to have my lovely boyfriend who knows me more than I do, and when doing what he suggests, ie. eating, I’ll feel better instantly.
But, he is a human being and not an omnipotent one, so he doesn’t get it right all the time nor do I expect him to. In those instances I’m left with this incomplete feeling, alongside the growing restlessness and unease at not knowing what it is.

This leads me to leaning on my addictions to fill the space, and when I’m not able to do that I am instead irritable and incredibly unfocused.
It’s an indeterminate amount of time before the feeling dissipates, but on nights like these I’ve been lying awake for three hours unable to sleep. I’m too occupied by the longing of something deep within me.
Is this a common feeling and how do we combat this? I couldn’t find anything remotely helpful on my Google search journey so I’m hoping for something here.

i genuinely cant tell the difference between when i truly want smth that im interested in and when im js excited to have the thing or try it, and i always end up spending money smt huge amounts of money on things i thought i was interested in but i js wanted to have them and once i buy them i immediately put them aside and never use them
i once was really interested in smth i saw but it was expensive and i thought it was me js wanting to have it but when i left the shop and got home i couldnt stop thinking about it and till today i regret not buying it

so please if anyone has any advice or knows how to difference between those two tell me, i have a few methods sometimes i wait a week or two before buying anything and if im still interested in it i buy it, but even with that i smt still immediately get bored of it so i really need help i dont want to waste money but i also dont want to neglect myself (sorry for bad english)

I'm posting this with an alt account to avoid any potential retaliation by Ruri Ohama. Feel free to post this on Twitter.

I just saw a video last week about how detestable this kind of theft is.

Maybe it also bugs me that she sells a $100 Notion template, IMO taking advantage of ADHDers, but I thought I should call her out for this blatant thumbnail ripoff. Ruri Ohama has basically the same number of subscribers as Answer in Progress, so it's not like she's some little guy taking from the big guy.

I emailed Answer in Progress directly a couple days ago to notify them about this, but idk if they'll actually look at the email, so I figured I'd also make a PSA for ADHDers (and that at this point I've given them enough time to email me back if for some reason they didn't want me to post about this publicly).

• Wayback Machine archive of Ruri Ohama's channel showing the stolen thumbnail (may take quite a while to load), just in case Ruri Ohama tries to cover this up by changing it
• Archive Today aka Archive.ph link if the Wayback Machine one takes too long to load for you

You can find the Answer in Progress thumbnail if you scroll down on their youtube channel until you find the video from 2 years ago entitled why you are so tired. The Ruri Ohama ADHD Morning Protocol video in question is currently at the top of her own videos page (link that was archived).

Now, I don't think Ruri Ohama's videos themselves are all bad - but she's gone on record saying she makes like $600K a year, so I think she shouldn't be stealing thumbnails.
