I’m 35, with diagnosed ADHD and brain scarring. My memory feels so fried and it’s almost Impossible to finish a task. Where I live it’s almost Impossible to get actual medication for something. Doc always gives herbal treatments and it helps nothing.

Is there a way to help myself without meds?

    Thanks for writing this all out for me. I must admit it took me a couple attempts to read it all. 🙈

    The body doubleing for me is almost Impossible. My wife and kids are always doing things that distract me more than help. I am also hit with 20+ questions every 30 minutes from a 10 year old and 5 year old. 😅

    If I don’t forget where my coffee is then I’m in a good spot, but as far as hydrating, I’m usually running on dry.

    I’ve tried teas and quiting coffee, thought that might help, but it made me more stressed thus making my adhd go Hulk on my brain

      Yep I feel that in my bones, I have no real solution for you but when I’m in trouble I just make it clear to kids and wife that I’m overwhelmed, and do what I can.
