Hey everyone, I know EA talked about this before but I'm interested. What do you guys think about taking medication when having ADHD? I believe, meditation can reach same or higher results in terms of inner calm and happiness. But there are times, it's hard to do even that. I can't help myself but to wonder, if medication could be a game changer to support me in my low life sessions that I have often. But I don't want to do anything that brings me further away from my true authentic self and the awakening process. Any opinions or experiences? 

 

Appreciate you all! 🤗💕

The other herb is Bacopa Monnieri.

Eat avocados for the magnesium.

Also when I found source in that moment  without realizing it at the time I was able to let go of certain deep seeded trust issues i had since i was a child ive seen videos Elizabeth mentioned one of the best ways to connect with source is let go of trust issues. Her experience was similar however she met beings from the gfl.very possible beings were present I couldn't see them though lol.there was still one trust thing I had left to deal with.the coaching call she chose me before my session ended she said I'm oozing mistrust for the system I laughed because up to that point I definitely had not only had mistrust for government.I absolutely hated the fucking shit out of it.now I'm good to go now.now i don't get a knot in my stomach when a politician opens their mouth lol.those coaching calls are always so amazing, always different.

This is all from the physical point of view:

I'm diagnosed with ADHD (at age 7, but got an adult diagnosis at 37). Also suspected autistic but I haven't completed the evaluation process. I don't think a formal ASD diagnosis would really help with anything now. I do take medication for ADHD though, and it does help.

What I do know is that different classes of stimulants work differently for each person. I found that for me, methylphenidate classes (ritalin, concerta) tend to work much better with no anxiety symptoms. But amphetamine classes (adderall, vyvanse) tend to increase my anxiety issues. Reactions can definately vary when it comes to generics and manufactuers too! Insurance (like within the USA) can really muck things up. If one is causing you issues, try switching.

Dosage is a factor too. Too high a dosage, and you can turn into this hyperfocused zombie-like state. Too low a dose and you might as well just be drinking a bit of caffiene.

Anyway, I do prefer to use medication to help with better integrating with the human / systemic part of the world. I have to work, travel, pay bills, do chores, take care of myself. All of those things are hard to do when you're struggling with a very low dopamine and noriprinephrine levels. 

What I have found that helps greatly when it comes to non-medicine is diet. You will want to eat as clean and close to the source as you possibly can. A lot of neurodivergent people have gut permenance issues, whether diagnosed with chrons or not. Autoimmune issues are also extremely common (in the form of skin issues, rashes, red patches on your face, joint flare ups, etc) So cutting out and removing gluten, as well as reducing or eliminating sugar all together is very useful. I also strongly recommend stopping the use of any seed oils as they are extremely inflammatory and hyper-processed.

Personally, I ended up developing T2D a few years ago, and went over to very low carb / carnivore and it's helped exponentially and I don't need to take mediction for T2D. But if you're not for eating animals, going clean vegetarian or vegan is also a good idea. Just avoid stuff out of packages (unless it's low ingredients), processed food, candy, fast food and junk food. If anything, this will clear up the brain fog and if you're struggling with sensory processing issues, it will help increase the threshold of what you can tolerate. In addition, you might find that if you use medication, you can function better on days when you don't need it. You might be able to lower your dosage on days that you do.

If it's possible to get yourself out of enviornments (workplaces, especially) that hinder your ability to function, I would highly recommend it. I left retail management for working at home as a graphic designer and web developer for a small company and it's helped tremendously. In the former enviornment, I was being pushed and pulled in too many directions and it's already very hard for me to switch tasks and manage time.

Strategies for management are really good too. Meditation is great to help with mindfulness and to help bring awareness to when your mind is wandering off-topic. Don't fight your brain or try to force it to be something it's not. Be aware that the systems that currently exist are not designed for humanity's benefit in general, let alone a neurodivergent human. (Or a soul from elsewhere existing in a human body)

All of this is really rough for children though, because neurodivergent children have their safe foods. It's not easy to switch them, and I don't recommend swapping them without consent. They also have to be at school for 8 hours a day, sitting at a desk and paying attention to forced topics (none of which are things that happen frequently in adulthood, btw). Sometimes, for a child, medication might be the thing that works best.
