ADHD awareness month
ADHD awareness month
I just realized that last month was ADHD awareness month and I forgot. Ironic isn't it? Share your stories of stuff you remembered way too late!
I only found out when I got an email from my local ADHD support organization…on October 26.
The medication shortage has had me acutely aware of my ADHD this past month, does that count?
Ah that sucks, I personally went from ritalin to medikinet because of availability and I didn't notice big difference, LP for both. Maybe that's an option for you? (like really same effect at same dosage, maybe a little less longer but like concerta was tottaly different in comparison)
I spent 2 hellish years without meds because I lost my family doctor. Keep strong and ask a friend to remind you forcefully weekly to check your bills. Good luck.
I just remembered a girl's name that I used to work with.
I was trying to remember it about 3 months ago. It randomly just came to me today.
my roommate asked if one of my roommates was gone the other day and like a day later i was working out and was like OH SHIT HE DID GO SOMEWHERE I GOTTA TELL MY ROOMMATE
ofc he'd figured that out by then
im not sure if i have adhd tho I've never seen a psychiatrist and haven't been to a doctor since i was 18 (im 21) coz poor
This is the first time I remember hearing of it.
Also I just remembered yesterday that I forgot to go to a conference my boss invited me to... on the 17th of Oct...
Sounds about right XD
Ironically, last month was when my pharmacy informed me that there's a shortage. AGAIN.
Halloween always sneaks up on me. We forgot to get pumpkins this year!
oh god I was gonna be frustrated if it was November. I don't feel like constantly battling misinfo
I was supposed to be at a course at 9, two hours away. Was reminded by outlook 8.45. Gee thanks Outlook, very helpful.
Worst part, is that you come off as lazy, a slack or stupid for forgetting something that neurotypical would never forget.
I don't think Outlook allows for that but I think some calendar systems allow for several reminders for the same event (e.g. 1 week before, 1 day before, a couple of hours and 15 minutes). I haven't used those kinds of systems in a while, I have a pretty uneventful life, but I remember using it some year ago
Thanks for reminding me.
My sister had the great idea to ask me to celebrate her wedding. I forgot to file the paperwork 4 months in advance. Then I forgot to file the paperwork after the fact too.
