Used weed for the past 20ish years to make my damned brain shut up and for sleep issues. I quit about 4 months ago after the realization that I might have adhd. Wanted to see if things got better after stopping. They really didn't. I had no clue that this could be the source of my issues until recently so now I'm over here waiting for an appointment. Self medication and drug/alcohol use is apparently really common with undiagnosed adhd. But damned do I miss it. The first couple weeks where rough, and i do feel like I was having some withdrawal effects from quitting despite people saying it's not addictive. It was literally giving me easy dopamine so your comment makes alot of sense.
This is where I'm at rn but I'm worried about trying to get medication to treat it.
Since I was a kid I've always had issues with motivation and organization. My default state is moderate messiness and disorganization, weed just makes me not feel as bad about it and stop stressing myself out.
I hear you on the meds. I'm not sure I'm to enthused about those but people keep saying they help so I don't know. I also know I need to change my behavioral habits I've developed over the years but it's not easy. Just going to go with whatever the psychiatrist says and gk from there. I'm just so tired of my own crap at this point. And yeah, weed made it easier to just be. And I don't think you have to take medication if you don't want too. Don't think they will force it on you.
It's less worried about being forced and more worried about them thinking I'm drug seeking, it's happened to friends of mine who have asked about it.
