Struggling with ADHD and Self-Studying

Throughout my life, I’ve dealt with my adhd symptoms and it wasn’t until last year that I realized I had adhd inattentive until my therapist told me. I’m switching careers right now and have to self- study and it’s very difficult for me, nearly impossible lol. I’m afraid to ask for medication because I feel like I’m horrible for asking for it. I don’t know why 😞. Has anyone found that medication helps?

I’m pretty immune to most meds my psych prescribed and was also diagnosed only a few years ago, already after high school and college so I felt like it would be a waste to get meds at this point when I already managed without them. But eventually I asked to try some and was prescribed but they don’t work on me. Really wish they did. No reason to feel bad about asking for help!!

Medication has definitely helped me tons, I also felt weird about asking my psychiatrist the first time lol I was worried she was assuming I'm just some druggie 😅 Adderall also tremendously helped with my overthinking and I felt certain present, like I just came out of a meditation session. Only issue I've had lately was that I've had my first panic attack and started hyper focusing on my body sensations, and one day I took my adderal XR and it triggered my anxiety attack which was odd to me

For me medication has 100% changed my life. I am on adderall and I feel productive, less anxious, and overall a low happier and better person. I'd say ask for it and try it out. If you don't like it you can always just stop!

For me, medication helps TREMENDOUSLY. It makes the world of a difference. If you take the medication route, you and your psychiatrist just have to find the right one for you. Myself, I am on Adderall. It's helping me keep my job, keep my kids, and keep my relationship. I wish you the best of luck 🤞
