And in peak adhd, I almost uploaded the wrong image entirely with the wrong title. Why? Because I was paying attention to something else.

Just kill me!

    The fun drink might be more crucial for adhd than the coffee, if it’s a sugary drink. People with adhd tend to have lower levels of glucose in the brain and benefit from little boosts.

    Me with three glasses of carbonated water and a cup of coffee I took two sips of.

      I drank eight cups of coffee every day for like six years at my last job. Then COVID hit and I didn’t drink much because I took a couple years off. Now I CANNOT drink coffee because it makes my body feel like my heart is going to explode. Adderall is fine, cocaine is fine. But caffeine RUINS me for hours of horrible unpleasantness. It’s wild.

      It really depends on your flavor of attention deficit.

      My personal brand never really came with the hyper activity. So while stimulants like caffeine sort of help, they mostly just don’t seem to do anything.

        My hyperactivity is mainly mental only. Brain going a million miles per hour without really being able to focus on any of it and never any downtime.

    I can’t be the only one who puts them all in the same (lidded) cup, right? Because if there’s more than one I will knock one over.

    I constantly have water with me. I also will generally have a soda or energy drink at some point, and then I usually end up with some kind of juice or milk because I forgot that I still hadn’t finished my soda.

    Ahhhh fuck you just described my work desk setup. Sometimes I like to combine the coffee and fun drink to make it more efficient.

    I feel like I’m always carrying water around, but never actually drinking it… I know I should drink more water, so I always keep it available; but I always lean towards something sweet/flavored instead. Particularly pop/iced tea.

      I had the same issue but many a moons ago I was watching Sassy Gay Friend and they were advertising this new thing. So new that they couldnt’ afford real advertisements. Mio. Now, Mio has gotten shit since but the liquid flavor enhancer stuff I SWEAR BY. I always have it in my water and I go through a lot more water due to it.

      Is that healthy? No fuckin’ clue but I drink way more water now so it’s a trade off. Literally been years of using this shit. My god over a decade. I’m old as fuck.

      And no not an advertisement for Mio because I am not getting paid. I wish I was getting paid so I could afford their competitors. Honestly I like the Great Value ones personally but Crystal Light is nice too. Their pomegranate one is tasty

        I’ve tried a few of those flavor additives for water, but every one I’ve tried has artificial sweeteners in it that I can’t get past the taste of. Aspartame in particular is the only thing I can taste when it’s in a drink. Sucralose is another one that just ruins flavor.

        That and I like my caffeine, but I’m not big on coffee…

        I appreciate the suggestion though :)

        What causes that? Is it the coffee cup that actually makes the coffee taste slightly cooler than room temp water in a glass? I’m guessing. I don’t know if it’s actually colder. But probably more due to the heat transfer you’re feeling from your lips to the mug?

        Either way, I’m going to go put this in the microwave so I can find it there again at around 10PM when I finally remember I didn’t eat anything besides snacks and need to heat up a burrito.
