Sharing My ADHD Medication With Friends
Many of us have experienced frustration and bewilderment when communicating with our parents. It often feels like an insurmountable barrier between us, preventing them from truly understanding our thoughts, emotions, and aspirations. But why is it so difficult for our parents to understand us? Did they never go through the same struggles and challenges we face today?
Many people with ADHD crave drama and arguments because their brains crave stimulation. When the ADHD brain doesn’t have enough stimulation, it looks for ways to increase its activity. Being angry, argumentative, or antagonistic has an immediate stimulating effect on the brain. Negative stimulation delivers much more quickly and intensely than positive.
Research suggests that adults with ADHD may be more prone to cavities when they visit the dentist.
Perfectionism can also have a dark side, leading to negative consequences for mental health and overall well-being. Understanding the underlying factors contributing to perfectionism and its impact on individuals is crucial.
Contrary to popular belief, individuals with ADHD can be incredibly caring and giving. Their impulsivity and hyperactivity may manifest in a desire to help others or engage in activities that benefit their loved ones. By harnessing their energy and channeling it towards caring for others, individuals with ADHD can showcase their loving and giving nature.
Anxiety is a common emotion that everyone experiences at some point in their lives. It is a natural response to stress or a perceived threat. However, for some individuals, anxiety can become overwhelming and interfere with their daily lives.
Mental health is crucial to overall well-being, and addressing concerns is essential. Sometimes, however, individuals may be resistant to the idea of seeking therapy, even when they need it. As a partner, it can be challenging to broach this topic and express your concerns without causing defensiveness or conflict.
Medication won’t “cure” ADHD. But it can help improve focus, attention, and impulse control.
