[quote=Anonymous]Kind of. I developed a lot of coping mechanisms and strategies through the years, while I was on ADHD meds. Then I wanted to get pregnant/got pregnant/breastfed, so had to go off meds and rely on a lot of behavioral strategies and scaffolding help. And it went okay! For a while. I got to the point that, for the most part, my executive functioning skills are passable. Enough to get by *most* of the time. But I actually went back on ADHD meds a couple of years ago to improve my anxiety-- because much of my anxiety is better-described as emotional overwhelm, stemming from ADHD. I've been working with a psychotherapist the last year as well, and have made major strides in this area, so... maybe someday I'll go off meds altogether? Especially when my work schedule and exercise habits become more stable. [/quote]
