Did you know that those with ADHD/ADD who allow themselves to run on manic energy for extended periods often experience “ADHD Crash”? You run on your energy for so long and then when you finally rest, you just drop like a log. It’s okay to be tired 💜 take care of yourself

I woke up after like 2 PM, went out for a bit, came home, felt super tired still, went to sleep at 6, and I am waking up again at 9 PM almost.
Fuck me, I missed out on an entire day, I’ve never done this… 😭
I was just feeling extremely tired.

What a lot of doctors do not like to face is the fact that many of them don’t know a lot about ADHD or its effects. They’re still discovering things about it every day. I had to teach my doctor about a side effect I have, as it was recently discovered. They’re always learning too

I would recommend talking with your doctor and exploring options/getting tested. ADD/ADHD often presents with symptoms that get misdiagnosed as other mental health issues. They used to incorrectly diagnose some ADHD cases as bipolar disorder. Always ask questions!

Depends on the person and their body. When I run out of meds and the pharmacy is out of stock, mine can last for 2-3 days

Wow I did not expect this much of a reaction but yes! This is a thing! It manifests differently for everyone. A good resource for ADHD/ADD facts is:
The crash can be especially noticeable if you are medicated & then skip a day. I once crashed for 10 hours

All of this to say, hey Zen, it’s okay to be tired. It’s okay to take those long naps, and it’s okay to be drained. Just take what you need 💜 we will be here

For those asking, ADHD crash is often the emotion side, but if you feel physical side effects, that’s ADHD BURNOUT.
Happy to answer any questions you may have!
