I have severe adhd, and it’s starting to feel hopeless at this point. Due to my bicuspid valve my psychiatrist refuses to prescribe me any stimulants (and I understand why). I’ve tried almost every nonstimulant adhd medication low and high dosages and nothing works. It truly is affecting every facet of my life and I just want my brain to slow down and let me focus. Do the things I wanna do. I’ve had days where I break down and cry overwhelmed by my own thinking process.
A couple years ago, I had tried Vyvanse and i felt it changed my perception immensely. All the racing thoughts turned to focus and i felt normal for once in my entire life. I’m an extremely creative person that loves drawing and telling stories no matter the medium. Of course that comes with the challenge of learning new things, honing my skills. Vyvanse seemed to help all of that. Now I keep running into dead-ends wandering hours in my mind without anything to put down. It’s so demotivating. I just want to progress, learn, and create. It all seems so impossible now.
There’s gotta be a way to work on this right? To better manage both my life and future? I’ll take any advice at this point.
