I was referred to a school counselor in high school because I couldn't sit still, my behavior was inconsistent and I had a hard time focusing.
If that person had caught it, and referred me on to get an ADHD assessment, I would be miles better off.
Instead he gave me exactly the advice you just did, and it achieved nothing. Guy actually owned the whole food / wellness / woo store he referred me to which makes it worse.
Now I have my medication I look back on shit like this with absolute scorn. I know you probably intend the advice in good faith but its absolutely not a replacement for medicine.
- MrMcCall 2y agoI got a lot of work done for a few years, thanks to Adderall, but that ship has sailed because of high blood pressure. I'm not selling anything, my friend. I'm sorry I didn't tell anyone that I was diagnosed with ADHD over 15 years ago, but I've been in the trenches for a long time now. And, absolutely, medicine is next-level helpful, but if you can't use it, as I can't, then you have to do the best you can. Out of my love for others like me, I simply offered the best non-pharmaceutical advice I could, because that's what I use. Peace be with you.
