Does anyone else often struggle with disassociation with adhd? I recently just went through a traumatic event, and my disassociation has gotten unmanageable. It was an issue before, but the trauma has boosted it to a new level. I also read that adderall can increase this symptom, which i take, but i also saw it can help? thank uš

adderall has very mixed results with dissociation. It actually has a possibility to help treat dissociation, but can also make it far worse so its a gamble. I have struggled with derealization disorder for more than 5 yrs now, which derealization is a type of dissociation, and i have adhd. Sometimes i like gaslight myself and think maybe I dont even have anything else just DPDR (derealization) but I know I genuinely have a lot of symptoms other ppl with just derealization dont have loll

I dissociate enough to where I'm not sure if I'm real half the time
Yes, 1 way I have learned to somewhat control it is to simply move my foot when I'm sitting down.
I spent most of my like disassociating and didnāt even realize it, I have adhd so idk if it makes it worse, but probably doesnāt help. As far as adderall I canāt speak on that as I stopped taking it. Sometimes itās a nice little break, but coming back to reality is sometimes very jarring. Iāll take disassociating over depersonalization/derealization any day though.
@Ksmi iāve done the same! i feel like adhd, especially inattentive, makes it so much easier to disassociate and harder to break. iām trying to get away from it because now itās making stuff worse. i agree tho, iāll definitely take this
I struggle with something similar, I find energy drinks help me
Yes I do struggle with dissociation. Unfortunately I have not found anything that helps to manage that.
