I've heard other folks with ADHD, when they're off their meds, they get hyper or distracted and so on. Me, however... I get so fucking tired it's not even funny. I will just proceed to sleep all day, without fail.

So guess who forgot their meds most of this morning and now has to deal with extreme exhaustion until their meds kick in :/

#text_iris #I am an IDIOT y'all #I have an exam to write and yet here I am nearly asleep on my couch-bed despite my mum making a racket with the sanding machine #And yes I did test the 'what happens when I go off my meds' when I forgot my meds when going to my grandparents #Going off my antidepressants for a day leaves no effect - this has happened loads of times and I have no effects with one missed days #But my ADHD meds? Oh going off that for a day leaves me so exhausted and tired that I will just pass out at a moments notice #I was so boring for my cousin since I could barely keep my eyes open #How the FUCK did I survive without my meds before how did I even FUNCTION #And like!! In hindsight! I was WORSE before I got diagnosed!#I would sleep for HOURS during the day because I was constantly exhausted and distracted #I was always tired and always sleepy!#I would often nearly fall asleep in class!!#Now even with early classes I'm awake! I've never fallen asleep on the bus home since!#Like no joke during High School I would more or less ALWAYS fall asleep on the bus and then jerk awake right before my stop #Now though? No matter how tired I am I'll always be awake #No 'my eyes are forced closed I am that exhausted'#Like my ADHD manifests as extreme exhaustion off meds. Because my body simply cannot function. My brain is overworked #It's also why I have a second dose; because my body burns through the Ritalin at extreme speeds #It'a frankly exhausting in and of itself #Which is maybe why I should consider finding something energy giving to consume #But also I'm worried it can spike my anxiety? 'Cos my meds can sometimes do that #I'd buy GamerSupps caffeine version iF THEY HAD BLUE IN STOCK #I am very skeptical to taste but Blue Rasberry is my fav thing #But of course they're sold out 😔#Anyway basically I am now suffering from exhaustion and also rising heart rate and anxiety because I took my meds late 👍#The life of me an idiot and my absolute dumbass forgetting meds and only realising 'cos I'm still absolutely wiped at 10am
