Does anyone else lose their appetite on ADHD meds?
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

Living with Anxiety: Does It Ever Stop?

why does my brain HATE bedtime??
Why is bedtime when my brain decides it needs to open 47 tabs at once? No alarms. No emergencies. Just thoughts I did not request, right when I’m finally tired. Not asking for solutions. Not trying to fix it. Just wondering if this is a shared experience or a personal issue 😅 . . . #
