What’s your “cup of tea”? (Or your “cup of joe”?)

I can't function without strong coffee (black, to help keep my weight down) which I now know is self-medication for my ADHD haha.

I also drink a ton of green tea; hated it the first time I tried it, but it feeds that part of my brain that feels like "I did something good for my health".

Strong coffee helps with your ADHD? I feel like that’d make things like significantly worse if anything lol. I need my green tea because I don’t eat a lot but need to move a lot… tea boosts my metabolism to get all my calories getting used up!

When you have ADHD, stimulants like caffeine level you out and help you focus; ADHD meds are like super, super strong coffee and help regulate our brains.

I'm hoping to get meds soon as without it, its almost impossible to initiate/stick with tasks or get anything done. I need a stupidly strong coffee to be productive at all.
