    Wait is this a thing? Sounds like a horrible way to manage but I’m down to try anything.

      It only kinda is, it’s more of a partial indicator really (not on it’s own, a distant personal clue that fits more puzzles), doesn’t last long & is easily overruled by other shit (a bad/worse focus day, emotional things, adrenaline, etc).

      It’s not really a thing. ADHD is usually medicated with stimulants, not depressants. Counterintuitively, ADHD brains suffer from a lack of sensitivity to dopamine and similar chemicals, and stimulants flood the brain with these giving ADHD people an experience closer to neurotypical.

      Alcohol as a depressant does the exact opposite thing that an ADHD brain needs, and will make core symptoms worse.
