Man I am grateful to be on ADHD meds now and having better energy and focus but itās wild not being able to rely on my appetite to remind me to eat. Iām bad enough already at breaking away from whatever Iām doing when Iām hyperfocused even when I do get hungry. Now I donāt even realize Iām hungry until Iām too weak to think, and my metabolism has gone up too so itās just a fucking shitshow. And I also canāt tell if Iāve eaten enough, or too much, so Iām having to pay more attention to my portions now instead of just eating until Iām not hungry.
Appetite suppression sounds nice, in theory. Iām glad itās cured my binge eating and boredom eating problems but god, at what cost? Iām doing some research and coming up with strategies to manage, but man this is an adjustment. Itās nice not craving food when Iām not actually hungry but I wish I could still enjoy food? Now it seems I only enjoy it when I get super hungry, and I donāt want to deprive my body and make myself non-functional just to enjoy normal creature comforts yk?
Idk maybe this will wear off a little or I will get used to it, but right now I feel like complaining even if I really shouldnāt be complaining about getting on some potentially very helpful meds.
