Hi guys, I'm new to this app👋🏻 I have (rather severe) ADHD-I but I also have Vascular Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (which is a connective tissue disorder kinda similar to Marfans) so I was advised against taking stimulants or really anything that has cardiovascular side effects. I currently take Wellbutrin and that gives me enough of a "boost" to pass my classes with reduced course load, but I'm struggling with my identity since I have no time and energy left to work on myself and my relationships. My emotions are under control and my self esteem is pretty good (I'm upset with my disabilities but not with myself as a person), but my cognitive symptoms are REALLY bad and I'm terrified for my future. Is there anything that could be done? Anyone with any luck with pharmaceuticals?
