Hi everyone. I’m 27 years old and was diagnosed with ADHD and CPTSD over two years ago. Honestly, I went through a huge journey before turning to stimulants. I tried a ton of antidepressants, including venlafaxine, sertraline, imipramine, and many others, as well as atomoxetine. None of them helped. Actually, it feels like I’ve been getting worse with every passing year. On top of that, throughout my entire adult life I’ve felt like a financial burden on my family. Why did I only recently realize how severe my ADHD actually is? Stimulants. Even with stimulants, it’s not like I suddenly feel “without ADHD”, it’s more that while they work, I can function as a tolerable employee and somewhat take care of myself. My whole adult life I’ve been trying to find something that fits me, but without treatment I can barely function, not just work, but even taking care of myself drains all my energy.…
