Aww At least the end of A levels are in sight, then you can look forward to relocating to Scotland for Uni Judging by the awesomeness that you radiate on here, you'll find people just as awesome as you are there no doubt about it

aww, thank you, I'm blushing again. I can't wait to be finished and focus on myself. (And of course you're awesome, we all know it. )

No worries Yeah! Make this summer the summer of you! You're so kind hearted and compassionate that you'll always find time for other people, but it's totally fine to focus on yourself if you feel like that's what you want to do We're with you every step of the way Awww shucks, thanks sweetheart

I have severe ADHD and i take dexamphetamine. However i refuse to take it because of the side effects (bad sleep patterns, no appetite, etc). I have gcse's at the moment so it is imperative that i take it. But then how am i suppose to do well if

the side effects mean i cant sleep which i need for the exam. little to none appetite some days, i need to eat well for exams

but if i dont take dexamphetamine.

i will struggle to do the following exams because of my severe attention deficit sever impulsiveness and mild hyperactivity

please help!

Are you school submitting circumstances? Talk to your GP, they could give you something to help you sleep. I'm sorry to hear this though.

Can't really move because of pain from period...

I was actually planning to do stuff today but that's gone out the window.

Great.

Idk what you mean by this. They give me extra time in exams, im allowed to take breaks and i sit in a room next to the exam hall.

ill talk to them about it when i have the time

And ty for the thanks i wanted to keep it short because i dont think that adhd is as serious as most other peoples illnesses and how that effects them

Great.

Mitigating circumstances? Sorry, we call it different here in N.I. I get rest breaks too because I'm depressed and have voices. Please, use them. They will help. And as for the side effects, they do calm down after a while.

adhd is serious. My brother is borderline ADHD and I see what it can do.

I literally understand your pain.

Im currently curled up in my duvet in a ball... It won't end and this is why I want to find a way of making it stop... (Ibuprofen and paracetamol only takes the edge off...) but mum thinks it's stupid putting hormones in my body. :/

Hope you're okay.

Do you regularly get painful periods?

Yes. I've had to take days off school and go home early as well because I just couldn't continue in school... And then people accused me of skiving... When they're not the ones curled up in a ball in a duvet in tears... :/

Yes lol Im sorry to hear that though, i have a friend who has depression and its really happy drainging (if that makes sense) to see them in that state.

Ty for understanding. Not many do. They think its cool to have it when it really isnt. Like sometimes in school if some guys start daydreaming or zone out they will say "ahaa must be my add/adhd kicking in lol" or some sh!t like that It pisses me of when they do it but they dont have it and dont take it seriously.

Rant over lol

and again ty for understanding not many people do

I completely understand, i get stupidly heavy periods, but there are specialised pain killers you can get from the drs!
I get something called mefenamic acid which is for painful periods and you can take them along with paracetomol, iv also recently been prescribed Buscupan which helps as it stops the muscles going into spasm

Finally lloyds do a period pain reliever tenns machine which is amazing, it uses tiny electric shocks but really takes away the most horrific pains (tenns is often used in labour)

I am allergic to mefenamic acid. It was horrendous when I was on it.

Hey, no problem. If you ever need a rant, PM me.

Ugh. I get them that bad too. I was put on a version of the pill to regulate mine but it's stopped working. I find a hot water bottle helps. (Mad that it's May, but idk.)
