but ADHD meds don't work on me

I'm exactly like that, and I find it so strange. Usually, the brain adepts to a new situation, and that isn't exactly new.

I plan everything as if I did not have ADD, and have done so even before I was diagnosed and had meds.

Getting my shit together < the sweet embrace of the status quo

Wrong! I was only 27 when I got diagnosed 💪💪

30 is as great a time to start as any

25 for me and had just been fired for the second time. I was lucky enough to find coping mechanisms and a support structure that worked for me with people who had my best interests in mind otherwise I'd probably still be struggling.

That was over 20 years ago and now when I tell people I'm ADHD they don't believe me. Makes me feel good!

Oh well.

You shut the fuck up. I do not appreciate being attacked like this

I brought it up to my doctor and got a referral to get a diagnosis, finally. That was 4 years ago. I need to ask again for another referral but keep forgetting/not being able to, while im there. If I can bring myself to do it, I might just ask my doctor to help me make the appointment while im there. :P

I have a diagnosis but meds didn't work, possibly because i live a pretty much sheltered life and was never forced into work, i did some jobs but i never lasted more than a year. The last 3 years i spent smoking weed and postponing my waking up. Now i'm trying psychotherapy again and i've been prescribed efexor.

But i feel more hopeless and spent than ever. I can't feel interest nor curiosity about anything. Social interactions are pain, and what's worse is that even with my closest friends it is now like that. I just feel like I'm not interested or capable of conversing with them, cause I feel no interest in any thing anymore....

This time for real though

Im medicated, almost 30, and I don't get it done either

Yep. I wasn’t diagnosed until I was like 35.

Even now that I'm medicated I still do this everyday. Things are better, but medication has its limits.

Yeah, and what's difficult is that real improvement is possible, but you get stuck in this rut where you view attempts to improve yourself as pointless.
