The concrete things.
What I actually do.
No "10 tips to live better with ADHD." What follows is what I have tried, what helps, what changed nothing, and what I am still looking for.
Medication: Ritalin worked, but I stopped
Four months on methylphenidate. What it does, what it costs emotionally, and why I stopped.
Nootropics: what I tested, what worked
Over a year of testing. Each product tried for at least six weeks. The verdicts are honest.
How I organize with an ADHD brain
Lists, alarms, rituals. What holds and what eventually breaks down.
Working with ADHD: against your brain or with it
How I learned to work with my brain instead of against it.
ADHD and sleep: the vicious cycle
The brain that refuses to switch off, the racing thoughts, and what helps.
ADHD and relationships: what my close ones had to understand
The forgetting, the intensity, the need for solitude. What I learned about neurodivergent love.
Masking: the cost of appearing normal
The compensation, the invisible exhaustion, and the day I stopped forcing.
ADHD and procrastination: it is not laziness
Initiation paralysis, the invisible wall, and what I have found that helps.
ADHD and diet: what I changed
Protein, sugar, omega-3. What I changed on my plate and what the science says.
