The Problem of ADHD and Adrenal Fatigue – Why You Are At Risk

adhdboss.com/adhd-adrenal-f...

Do you believe this is something that you are affected by?

I know with long work hrs, short working medication, bad eating habits, and irregular workouts it totally affects me.

I crave stimulants like coffee, energy drinks, and any sugar that will keep me going after my medication wears off and turns me back into a pumpkin.

But where do we draw the line? Can those affected by ADHD actually draw a healthy line in the sand and know when to take a break?

What practices, habits, or rules do you put in place to ensure your don’t run into the unhealthy Adrenal Fatigue?

I was just thinking this morning about this. I think like a couple examples you or someone else recommended which was checking with yourself every 2- 3 hours and on a piece of paper write down 4 things you want to do today. Try and keep things simple. There are time when I’m feeling really good and I’m getting shit done and I like that feeling but at time when I feel that way I crash later

Hi Michael! I wanted to add something. I say my doctor today and had him adjust my vyvanse dose. In that article you posted it made me think I should try to tone down my dose. Because I thought about it and yes a higher dose I feel great and accomplish more than I would ever had I not been on anything at all. Then I think to myself that on the higher dose I’m not really me. I like that I can do more think better then ever but as my friend says what goes up must come down. I don’t want to be up and down. I want to be me. I know my Adhd is bad enough that I do need to take a stimulant medication (I’m on vyvanse) but taking the lower dose today I started, I feel calm and I’m getting stuff done at a easy pace. My mood is good and I’m relaxed 😎 I think this is where I’m supposed to be and I’m okay with it.

I’m not perfect never going to be. I think because I grew up with super critical and emotionally unsupportive parents I’ve spent so many years trying to be BETTER. I never felt good enough. I have done lots of therapy and it’s been years of stuggle for me to accept and love myself and I feel I’m finally getting there. ❤️🤗💪💡I’m happy being me and my flaws aren’t the worst. Another thing I have to remind myself all the time is to not care what anyone else thinks about me. I know I’m a good person who has good qualities and so what what they think or don’t think. I’m sure What I’ve thought people thought of me wasn’t even something they may have even thought, it was likely my own insecurities coming out about myself.

Well I guess this message I went a little or a lot off topic but I wanted to share with someone
