If you have ADHD like me, you know exactly what I'm talking about: your brain doesn't just wander — it races.
One moment I'm planning dinner, next I'm mentally drafting an email,
then replaying last night's conversation, then frantically searching for my keys (again).
After my third coffee of the morning,
I'd feel pumped — but 90 minutes later? Total crash. Brain fog. The "buzz" turned into... nothing.
When I tried prescription stimulants (yes, Adderall),
they did bring razor-sharp focus. But here's what nobody tells you:
I felt "flat." Like my personality had taken a permanent back seat.
My emotions? Dulled.
I was focused — but I wasn't me.
I wasn't broken. I just hadn't found the right kind of clarity yet.
