This was my life before my 20s

[I_UndergroundPanther]

5. I have adhd

Was diagnosed in the early 70's. It was hell dealing with school.
The bullies,the bullshit and the teachers who refused to understand.

I'm still on Adderall. Because my symptoms didnt go away when I grew up.

So I got back on Adderall and it has made a big difference.

What helped motivate me to get back on Adderall was the damn hyper focus.

I am artistic and I can lose hours on a project.

But I am also diabetic.

One time I got so hyper focused that I didnt feel my sugar levels dropping.I was lost in art again. I had forgotten to eat lunch and dinner.

When I finally felt it dropping I was so shaky and anxious and confused and I was getting tunnel vision. I could hardly work the gluconometer.. it was bad.

Checked my sugar it was, no shit,39.
Well that is seriously dangerously low.

I drank a bunch of orange juice with a shit load of sugar mixed in it hoping I wouldn't have to call 911.

Luckily it worked but I felt really shitty until it did.

So I take the damn Adderall.
