ADHD memes

I drink coffee daily, it gives me zero energy. I drink it for the taste and in the winter for the warmth. I'm exhausted at all times 😎🤙

The unfortunate corrolary to this is that if you are fueling your tasks with anger and caffeine, letting go of that anger can be supremely demotivating. Trying to be a healthier person to be around can turn around and sap your will for your efforts. At least that is how my experience has been.

I found that once I had my life on track, being diagnosed in my late thirties, it was easier to tackle life without medication. Because methylphenidate is not an easy drug to take. I would swear profusely even when not doing anything and it killed my appetite, which was bad because I rarely ate anyway. It’s just I was hungry but it made me feel sick to eat.

When there are more negatives than the problems it’s fixing I had to make a choice to rawdog life. It just means I have no control over whether I do something. Want to play Minecraft so bad but can’t find the drive, guess we just watching YouTube until Monday then being sad it’s back to work.

caffeine weed and anger

Before getting diagnosed I would routinely drink at least a pot (maybe two) of coffee throughout the day to stay motivated and probably three mixed drinks at the minimum after dinner to slow down the "inner restlessness."

Not a healthy lifestyle at all.

I've been told I have ADHD by my friends with ADHD, so apparently I'm spec'd deep into anger. Kids, it works!

Jokes on you, my ADHD makes caffeine do absolutely nothing to me. I can drink two energy drinks and then take a nap.

With caffeine and anger, I've found that dysfunction is possible.

I'm terrified to think of where I'd be without either.

I'm over here doing both AND while medicated. Though most of the rage comes from bumping heads with people that don't have ADHD and keep pulling my attention away from shit. Sometimes the normal "hey check this out real quick shit is funny" or to dump a different problem/task on me. Because I am unfortunately the person that has fixed enough weird shit and they seem to refuse to remember stuff I have shown them (time after time after time). Which means I get stuck having to rush all the shit I was doing before the interruptions and end up staying later than everyone else to not forget what I need to do the next day.

I have begun giving a "me warning" to new folks to let them know that I might come across as an absolute asshole and very short with them at times. But that they should just be aware that I am not actually mad at them personally, and to be direct with me right back if I go too far and say something (like "too far man" or similar) as I will actually try to correct myself.

Are two 64oz mugs a day, a sign I might have ADHD? 🤔 I feel like I get nothing from it, but nice warm feeling.

Yup, I drink 12 cups of a coffee a day. So, there.

I cant imagine rawdogging life

I go through phases... I'll drink tons of coffee then end up not touching it for days or even weeks at a time. (Right now it's been nearly a week.)

All the comments about caffeine doing nothing... I used to have that problem, until I tried NOS. Not sure what the fuck it really does different than, like, Red Bull or Monster or Rockstar, but it perks me up and allows me to harness the power of hyperfocus on anything and not just things I like.

It doesn't say it has meth in it but... 🤔

Yup! By the latter quarter of my time in college I was up to 10 cups of strong af black coffee before midday, and a quarter pack of cigarettes. Then the pandemic hit and it was harder than ever getting cigs and was forced to quit cold turkey when I got infected. Not dealing with traffic also made the anxiety I got from coffee not managable and had to tone that down too.

I've managed to reduce my coffee intake to once a day at most, early in the AM. Mostly for the flavour. A good shot of espresso with condensed milk does wonders, but will leave me somewhat jittery since my resistance has dropped so much.

I kinda miss drinking coffee from 6am to 10pm.

caffeine just makes me shake uncontrollably and clench my jaw really hard. so far meds have just fucked me up badly. FML

Just a raw dogging life, One puff at a time thc nicotine sometimes a cup of caffeine.

What's the deal with the shopped on safety gear?

This is me for sure. I need to make an appointment

Update: my primary care physician refuses to give any patient adhd meds or painkillers for any reason.

I'm fuelled purely by anger.

And hard drugs.
