Hi!
I have skin picking (back, harms, face…). I didn’t know this could be associated with ADHD and it seems to have been worse since medication (concerta).
Do any of you have any advice how can I stop this behavior? Sometimes I do have conscience that I’m doing it but even then I cannot stop.
Thank you
Hi everyone! I was diagnosed with ADHD two weeks ago, at 34, and I started medication at the lowest dose. The first day was amazing and I thought, “wow, so this is how people actually get things done… so much easier!” I’m a full-time mom of two children under 5, and it was after moving house and city that I realized my ADHD symptoms had intensified. I’m still figuring out what counts as “symptoms” and what’s just normal for everyone, even without ADHD. But right now, what I’m feeling is this constant “obligation” to be productive. If I have a day where I’m exhausted and have no motivation, I immediately think, “nope, you don’t have the right to feel like that—you’re medicated, you have to do X, you have to tidy up, etc.” Has anyone else felt like this?
