Just finished all 3 sections of my ADHD Snapshot and realized something: my son's diagnosis didn't break me, it woke me up. I've spent years losing confidence and ambition, but the same part of me that feels broken is the part still fighting for my kids. Apparently those aren't two different people.

As someone who has not been diagnosed with ADHD and only recently realized that I have it, I'm curious about what experiences those of you who take ADHD meds or have been on them in the past have had. Did you like being on them? What are/were the pros and cons? I'm also curious if anyone has tried any of these nootropic supplements that claim to improve your attention, focus, energy, etc.? Ads for them show up constantly for me online, and every ad, of course, claims that their product is the answer to all your problems! I've tried a couple and didn't really notice a difference. Has anyone here had a positive experience with any of these?

Section 2 of my Snapshot just hit different. I always called it laziness or self-sabotage, but I just realized the people I pushed away weren't leaving because I didn't care - they were leaving because I didn't understand my own brain enough to show them I did. And the procrastination spiral I keep blaming myself for? Apparently that's a nervous system thing, not a willpower thing.
