Does anyone else’s brain work like this?

Some days I swear it’s ADHD, other days it feels like depression, and sometimes I think it’s just stress. Either way, my brain never gives me a break. What does your brain do when it’s overwhelmed?? #girlpov #GirlTalk #lemon8challenge #adhd #wellness

Okay besties… let’s talk ADHD meds. I’ve been on Adderall, and while it’s been life changing for my ADHD, it definitely comes with side effects. For me, the biggest ones are a suppressed appetite (sometimes I forget to eat), a higher heart rate, and feeling a little too wired/awake at times. But

I catch myself doing it all the time, reaching for snacks the moment I feel anxious, sad, or overwhelmed. It’s not even about hunger; it’s about comfort. Sometimes I’m not even hungry at all, but I get this strong, almost desperate feeling that I need to eat something just to calm down. It’s like m

Nothing groundbreaking but just a friendly reminder to fellow postpartum moms, or anyone else whose brain has simply left the building: You can literally just tell ChatGPT what you have on hand and ask it what to make for dinner & it’s totally okay. 😉 For some reason my postpartum brain f

Mental health meds are such a personal journey, and I want to share mine in case anyone else is feeling frustrated. I’m currently on Effexor as my main antidepressant, combined with Wellbutrin and Abilify at night, and this mix has finally helped me feel balanced, stable, and more like myself.

My cat always sleeps with his belly up and I’ve never had another cat that really likes that. I have some other cats that will do it, but it’s not their preferred way of sleeping like him. I’ve heard it means he feels very comfortable with us which I love, but I think it’s still kinda an unusual wa

Okay, let’s give it up for one of the ultimate cozy comfort games of all time: Minecraft! Fire this baby up on peaceful mode. In fact, go crazy, start a creative world! The possibilities are endless, it’s like having an infinite supply of Legos with chill music and your animals actually walk around

My in-laws treat me like crap. The 19 year old and I have been close for five years and all a sudden she is too busy now. And says she does not have to explain anything to me. She has always messaged me for advice and help and just to talk. So when I message her to check on her she will leave me

All of this sounds impressive… brain science, stress hormones, memory, mood. But here’s what it actually feels like in real life: It looks like catching yourself spiraling… and instead of staying stuck in your head, you move it onto the page. It looks like realizing “oh… that’s why I rea

By far my favorite movie #moviesathome #Lemon8Diary

I got on an SSRI after a traumatic situation which caused me horrible anxiety At first it helped, but over the years it slowly stopped working and I was always adjusting my dose After 4 years I decided to get off just to see how I would do and I was SHOOK — I had zero coping skills for daily s

Something people don’t always talk about with ADHD is how paralyzing it can be—even when you’re on medication. For me, I’ll take my Adderall and tell myself today’s the day I’m going to clean the house. I’ll get started, feel productive for maybe 10 minutes… and then it’s like my body hits a wal

i spent years thinking i was just bad at regulating my emotions. too sensitive, too reactive, too much. every little thing would spiral into something bigger and i couldn't figure out how to stop it. i'd try counting to 10 before reacting — by the time i hit 3 my brain had already gone some

Honestly, I can’t believe I’m 26 and just now making my first gyno appointment. I’ve avoided it for years because the thought of someone examining me in such a vulnerable way absolutely terrified me. I didn’t know what they’d do, how it would feel, or if I’d end up embarrassed. I kept putting it of

I really love a nicely organized fridge, I like being able to reach for what I want immediately Worth It. Does anyone else like to organize their fridge??? @WORK4GAINS @Lemon8 Fitness @Captain Lemon8 @Lemon8 US

Is this an ADHD thing? Or just… me being me? 😅 The other day I started cleaning one drawer and somehow ended up on my phone scrolling TikTok for 2 hours. Another time I sat down to reply to an email… and 45 minutes later I was making a snack, reorganizing my entire desktop, and still hadn’t answ

Insomnia is one of the hardest things I deal with. During the day, I feel like a zombie! drained, unfocused, and short-tempered. But the second I lay down, my brain suddenly has endless energy. It replays old conversations, makes me worry about the future, and keeps me from resting when I need it m

Some days I don’t even want to pick what to eat because my brain is just fried. Literally after work or even just a long day my brain is so tired to make a decision. I can’t decide what to eat, or watch, or what I want. It can be so exhausting when it happens. Does this happen to anyone else ?

Does anyone else feel like their brain is a browser with 50 tabs open, and you can’t find where the music is coming from? 🤯 I used to carry the mental load of everything—content ideas, missed bills, grocery lists—until I hit complete burnout. I realized I didn't need "more focus" or

Is there anyone else like me who doesn't have a vacation to go on? 👩‍💻 If work is too busy to take a walk by the river🏞️, turn the scenery into your phone wallpaper.📱 “I look like I'm physically at work, but my spirit is actually on vacation😎⛱️” If you like my work, you can download th

For some reason I always need the window seat when I'm on a plane... The aisle and the middle is just not for me😵‍💫😵‍💫. I have never actually physically seen anybody that actually takes pictures of when they're on a plane, so I'm just wondering if anybody else out there in the world
