Is loathing prolonged breaks an ADHD thing?

Hi. Since learning at the start of this year, that I have ADHD and OCD, I have been on a leave of absence from my final year of college due to medication side effects and it’s now summer. The last four months I’ve been doing titration for sertraline for OCD to bring it down before working on the ADHD. I’m now on 150mg and now past the side effects, but still don’t feel 100% energy wise. Each day feels pointless, like all I’m there to do is take the medication and just wait for the day to end. I can’t enjoy just relaxing or doing mindless activities. Before knowing I had ADHD I would burn myself out with assignment stress, leadership roles, internship you name it. Tons of adrenaline and progress. Compared to this. I hate it, it’s like a physical pain I have to wait out. Is this an ADHD thing?

What hair style and length is this?

This was someone’s messy sock roller look (hand holding up hair on the right side), but I really like the curled style and length of the cut. I barely ever style my hair so I know nothing lol. Not interested in the colour but any information on the style/cut would be appreciated!

Ways to spread kindness online?

Hi, I (22F) am going through a difficult time. Since learning this year that I have ADHD and OCD, I have started taking Zoloft to bring down the OCD before working on the ADHD. 

The titration for this medication has been difficult, with temporarily increasing symptoms each time the dose increases. I’ve been on a leave of absence from my final year of college for a few months now. I’m just at home working through this and I’m in a rough place mentally. I hate how useless I feel. It’s the one thing I never want to be. So I’ve been commenting on social media posts, joining people’s livestreams with few viewers, but want to do more. I would love some suggestions!

Just found this today when looking for something. I want to share it here to show how far I’ve come. I’m so glad I know I have ADHD now

My time management and focus on getting ready has always been terrible throughout my life. At this point of my life as a college student, I was constantly running late, and spending too much time on college work to complete chores etc, and struggling with task priorisiation in a volunteer leadership role I pushed myself to do in order to keep up with my classmates, who could hold down a job while keeping up with college.

I really started to loathe myself, because I just figured that I needed to work harder. I didn’t do the full schedule for punching my arm because it hurt too much. After yet another stressful set of assignments submitted late at the end of 2025 and my mind in a dark place, it was my family that presented the idea of ADHD to me, after suspecting it for a while. And now in May, I now know. I’m very grateful to have them.

Hi, I recently learned that I have ADHD, so I still have a lot to learn! There’s a social media trend where people don’t do anything for one hour. Just wondering if this is something I should implement into my daily routine? I know it will be hard, but would it be a valuable skill to practice in the long run? Any thoughts are appreciated!
