Happy Hump Day!! Some ADHD memes for everyone 😁

The last meme 👍🏼

thank you @Jynx for those memes. I was sitting staring at my laptop, feeling tired and sad, thinking about going to bed for the night even though it's not yet 7.30pm, then I clicked on the SANE forums tab (which I've decided to keep open, to remind myself to connect with the forum family), clicked on your post about ADHD memes, and read through them.

several of the memes made me literally laugh out loud (mostly that embarrassed/amused self-recognition laugh), and I've saved a few to my laptop -- Thor & Bruce, it's bedtime, Is it though? 😆 , ADHD Gothic ✨🖤, Not to brag...forget while I'm doing it, Every visible surface, and Overexplaining to Avoid Misunderstanding 🙃

That really lifted my spirits 🙂 still tired, but might watch an episode or two of a satirical sitcom, have a few more laughs. And take my evening meds. Laughter is good medicine, and so is taking my meds 😄

Hope you're going well @Jynx @Glisten @Shaz51 @Paperdaisy @RiverSeal @Neuro_Spicy @ArraDreaming

Agreed @greenspace ! Gotta love @Jynx 's memes.

Feel free to visit Jynx's The Ice-Memery . That lifts me up too.

thanks, @tyme I'll check that out 🙂

Just when you think it can get any worse…. I was diagnosed with ADHD over 20 years ago, and given it wasn’t that well known, I was diagnosed and treated by a child psychiatrist for some time. As things currently stand my ADHD medications have now been added to the list of medications that I no longer have access too ( I had to stop taking anti anxiety medication 12 months ago being a used if being a “doctor shopping addict ). With the ADHD medication I have been a used of obtaining medication for the purpose of selling these on the “ black market “ Apparently if I want to continue taking this medication I have to present myself for a supervised urine drug screen on every visit ( which is a 3+ hour drive to $$ psychiatrist and I’m not working due to my current mental illness ) In addition to eloping manage my chaotic life, the ADHD medication also give me some respite from BED and reduce depression. Some may say that it’s only a urine screen, however thanks to another monster that resides in my head

a.k.a my BPD nemesis, with a dusting of PTSD it’s impossible.
OK so how does this relate. It has a small amount to do with doctors only prescribing dosages for certain medication at a level they feel comfortable with. I’m a fast metaboliser so not only does dosage need to reflect this, but I also clear drugs from my system faster ( this probable explains the first negative UDS I result…..) I have always totally loathed myself as a person, being labelled like has my proves my worthlessness ( thanks BPD brain). I won’t be returning to the doctors anytime soon.

@ArraDreaming omg wat

That's amazing ty for sharing!! Allowing notifications on my weather app now. Which is funny cos it is HAILING here in Naarm!

@Fawkes oh I am so sorry that this is happening to you! It's so horrible to be treated like you're some kind of criminal just because your body metabolises things more quickly. You don't have to take on any of the harmful labels that you've received, and honestly 'doctor shopping' is normal and something that we should all feel we have the right to do! Finding the right health professionals can be so hard, we need to find those that help us to feel safe, that listen to our needs, and that have compassion and understanding for our individual circumstances. I hope you're able to find the right doc and can navigate this crappy situation in a way that is least harmful to your psyche.
