One shot at life

Hmm that's interesting, thank you user. Is there a way I can get this prescribed? I live in a state with medical marijuana.

>Anyone else have ADHD?
yes. i took up lifting and writing to help focus my thoughts. now i'm working towards a better career and feeling good about myself every day.

don't let it take over you. don't be deceived into feeling sorry for yourself.

You have to see a doctor about it. It also helps if your ADHD is documented with a formal diagnosis already, although this may not be strictly necessary (depends on your doctor, and the laws of the state you're in).

Try to find a doctor who has some experience in recommending (technically what a doctor gives you is a recommendation, not a prescription) MMJ for this condition. Ask online and make an appointment.

Btw, it's better to dose via methods other than smoking. A vape might be a reasonable solution. I've posted about it before, but one vape I've found that works well is the Vapor Genie. I'm not getting paid to shill this product. It's just that I honestly think it's a really well made, inexpensive vape and the fact that there's no plastic is excellent because I had a bad experience with a popular vape years ago that melted and I inhaled the plastic fumes. A vape with no plastic just removes that whole possibility so it won't be an issue.

Thanks user, I'll try my best. What field do you work in? Are you able to focus on reading?

>Be aspie with ADHD tendencies.
CBD and what the other user said about microdosing cannabis can work. Try CBD first since it's a lot easier to get legally.

administration atm but trying to get into software. it's really dry and boring at first but like someone said on here, the trick is rewiring your brain so you get dopamine hits from solving logical problems. but at the heart of it it's just hard work, and maybe you're stuck in a rut where starting anything seems impossible. so while it's hard to focus, i just remind myself that if i don't sit down at stare at some code for roughly a few hours a day, i'll never get to where i want to be. working out helps because it reminds me how satisfying difficult mundane things are, and writing helps to collect my thoughts and figure myself out a little more each day.

good luck user. seriously don't give up though - if you don't do anything in 5, 10 years, you WILL look at all that wasted time, and you WILL start planning your suicide. please don't quit.

Thanks guys, do you think it could help me focus better and enjoy reading again?
Thanks user. I won't give up on my current endeavor. I'm a philosophy major right now and I'm doing well because I can still write really well. I'm trying to get an entry-level desk job somewhere and I have some contacts. I know of people who've gotten good jobs with philosophy degrees. I don't think I'll be completely fucked. I just get depressed when I think about how much I wanted to be a scientist. Maybe one day when they have better medicine I can go back to school. How do you do with reading for extended periods of time?

I've been dealing with ADHD my entire life, 23 now going on 24 soon. The only advice I can give you is that you need to expect to quit everything you get motivation to do early, so try to focus on working in 30 minute to 1hr bursts then come back to it again when that motivation kicks back in.

For work, I was never able to hold an office job or anything that requires a high amount of focus, working with my hands was the easiest thing, I can't stop moving, constantly flicking my fingers, bouncing my legs, etc, etc, so I figured I'd channel that energy into productivity and began working with food even though I fucking hate it. Shit's easy and people will love you if you're quick.

I've never tried medication so I can't tell you what type of an impact it'll have, I have an appointment with a jewchiatrist but, I've been putting it off for weeks, think about doing it then forget about it for the rest of the day.

Just try to keep positive, user and give yourself a small goal in life, once you complete it, find another, rinse and repeat.

nice, that's a good backup degree to have. you can definitely use it for pretty much anything that's not necessarily field-specific but requires interpreters and communicators to interface between management and employee specializers, for example.

iktf, i wanted to be a scientist too. funny isn't it? we spent our childhoods dreaming and looking at the stars, but when we grew up we found that it's only disconnected us from the world. i started reading philosophy because i felt like it would go deeper than math and science, but as a teenager doing calculus i was too naive to know how deep they could really go. if you're anything like me, you found yourself too deep to quit reading philosophy and just kept going with it because it felt like anything else would take too much time to learn.

as for reading... frequent breaks man. cigarette breaks. walking breaks. standing up and pacing around my apartment talking to myself about what i just read. feeling like i've crystallized the information to an extent before i dive back in again. making as many connections as i can with the information so it comes alive and doesn't seem like a bunch of contextless, inconsequential words on a page. cutting out distractions too, or reorganizing my time so that, say, i learn for one hour then go watch youtube for half an hour, etc.

I smoke too haha, I take quite frequent cigarette breaks when studying myself. I just get really dismayed and frustrated. I just feel like I could have achieved my dreams if this never happened to me. My whole childhood I was always told how smart I was and I excelled in school. I was in advanced classes, I was reading grade levels ahead. I don't mean to say that to brag or anything, more just to illustrate how far I've fallen. By high school, that's when things started to get rough. I just wish I could have my old intellectual abilities back.

i do. its fucked my whole life up, JUST

adhd isnt a problem if youre getting treated if not youre gonna be fucked up

>scientific research
In what?

I had it since I was a kid, and probably other things. Hyperactive, aggressive, novelty driven, ignored punishment. I'm smart though and good with animals so my mother figured it'd sort itself out.

28 khhv should be looking for jobs and instead I came here to sulk. I'll get to them and the rest of everything I've needed to do for all of my life.

I'm sorry brothers. Thankfully we have each other.
I have meds but I can only take low doses because I have Tourette's as well and it can set off my tics. Fuck this gay earth.
I've had many interests over the years, but I feel like I'd like to do plant science or microbiology. I'm fascinated by vertical farming. I'd love to be a research or lab tech or something in that field. I believe it's how we'll feed humanity in the future. I just want to help contribute something to mankind.

Unironically, nicotine's been used to treat dyskinesias.

Put on some rain/thunderstorm videos in the background, smoke a fat CBD/THC joint, and you're set OP.
