ADHD, Cannabis, Life

I used to drink a whole pot of drip coffee to myself in an 8 hour workday. Was a bad scene so in the last few years I switched to warm lemon water with a dash of salt for my “coffee wakeup moments” after 4pm.

One of the best things I’ve done for myself is limit my caffeine to almost nothing at all. One cup of 50MG tea twice a week. On the other days no caffeine tea. I’m considering cutting it out completely again. My body just does not like caffeine.

Yeah I have switched to decaf in terms of coffee… but I havent found something that replaces black tea for me yet.

I like yogi blueberry slim life. 30MGs of green tea with a blueberry kicker. I use one tea bag of it or yogi blackberry spice focus which is an english black with a blackberry kicker 50MG. Gives me a push with my vyvance on the days I work out.

Just came by to share today’s shining example of growing weed with (undiagnosed) ADHD:
Carefully labeled, and bagged a single bud with pollen inside the bag from a different daddy than the rest of the plant. Took the bag off successfully in time to prevent mold, misted it down to prevent unwanted pollen transfer, waited weeks, and then when harvesting the seeds was focused on the next project and mixed them all together. :woman_facepalming:

Oh fuck yeah it is haha… My GF had to basically teach me not to pretend I knew what shes talking about when she was telling me something. I got pretty good at masking the fact I had no idea wtf you were just saying to me and would just BS or pretend I knew what you said. Its embarrassing when it happens constantly haha.

I still will do my best to BS with other people but I think if I hadn’t learned to stop doing it with her we wouldn’t be together still.

I must say I am a master at inferring or making it seem like I was paying attention. When I was really just thinking about the fact you mentioned you went to a mall I did survey work on and Im remembering where I used to set up my GPS, but also remember that time I found a crack pipe when digging up some survey evidence on that site and how the site super was one of the rare organized and pleasant to deal with ones and the expresso machine he kept in his office was a great perk and had had that good local roasted coffee for us…

spaces back in

“Oh yeah I heard you honey… no problem”

No idea wtf she said

and I get a call at 5pm asking how long it will be until I pick her up from the dealership by the mall because she dropped off her car. Not that this is a true story or anything…

Love me some prequel memes…

This one really resonates. I feel like I can spin up a lot of “extra cores” or “extra cpus” and multi task a bunch of things between subconcious but it catches me fuckin up a lot, especially working on work problem in my head while also on my phone while also talking with wife while also watching teevee :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Vyvance changed my life. First and last ADHD meds for me. :100: They just came out with a generic. I’m using it now. Just as good. :100:

Heheh yeah the amount of times I actually cant wait for the person to finish talking because I think I know what they are going to say and cant wait for them to finish is funny. So I start going off on some tangent in my head and when I space back in I realize they were not at all saying what I thought and I missed the last 3 sentences they said. But I don’t want to look dumb and ask them to repeat themselves for the third time so I just pretend I knew what they were saying… Id say I get caught maybe 20% of the time when I do that. Probably 75% by my partner because she knows the look on my face when I realize I haven’t heard a word she said.

Its part of that interruption glitch we have with ADHD. That impulsivity curse. Finding it hard to recognize social cues when its our turn to speak. I was plagued with this until I found Vyvance. I couldn’t help myself from butting in. Even if I wasn’t part of the group or conversation. Did not make me popular in group settings.

Yeah man I really feel like Vyvanse 40mg might really be perfect for me now. I still need to impose some more organization and good habits but I finally feel like that desire to make those sorts of life changes matches up more with actual motivation to do them instead of being paralyzed by the inertia of ADHD.

I am also still learning how I want to consume cannabis now that I am medicated… I have felt a bit tachycardic at times when I smoke when the Vyvanse is kicking and was about 25 off my baseline resting heart rate (still at safe levels but being off baseline isnt great)… but I also have noticed Vyvanse increases my desire to consume things that give me dopamine, like nicotine and cannabis. Next week I am going to try to not smoke until the evenings when the Vyvanse is wearing off and see how that works…

When I first met my GFs best friend we did not get along… we constantly interrupted each other and that annoyed both of us. Come to learn she is even more ADHD than me and we are so tight now that we understand both of us cant help it.
