I stopped taking Adderall about 8 years ago and have been managing my symptoms with a mix of lifestyle changes and coping mechanisms that I learned in therapy. Some days it’s enough, some days it’s still difficult.
Overall, being stable and well-balanced in my lifestyle makes the biggest difference to me. Sleeping 8 hours a day, showering every morning, having nutritious and regular meals, drinking lots of water, balancing work/home/exercise time all help. Maintaining healthy relationships and emotional well-being are really important too. I don’t drink or do any drugs because I find they make my ADHD worse even days afterwards.
Basically, I try to put myself in the best position to succeed every day. Showing up rested, fed, on good terms with everyone, not stressing, make a huge difference.
But finally, these work FOR ME. You need to find your own balance and find the things that make you feel good. And you may still need medication - these only go so far. Don’t feel like something is wrong with you if my tips don’t do it for you.
