Welcome back!
You and your ADHD do not exist in a vacuum. Just like almost everything else in your life, your ADHD is affected by all kinds of other factors like diet, exercise, sleep, stress level and more.
Whether or not you choose to take medication to help you with your ADHD symptoms, you can also do other things to help manage it.

When you first get diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder, it can be a relief. You finally have an explanation for the way you are, and you feel as though, from this point on, things will be better.
Often, however, that feeling is soon replaced with overwhelm and confusion.
Where do you begin to look for treatment, for solutions?
A good place to begin is with the person who diagnosed you. Ask for their opinion and find out what your options are.
