That sounds awesome! I doubt there is but need to look for something like this in my area!


It’s the same thing for me. There’s a good chance I’ll do something productive but I tend to get jittery as well.


Danke für den Hinweis, das war mir gar nicht bewusst!


Oh my god, the distractibility at work without (or even with) coffee in the morning is so real. I even get the “buzz” feeling that you describe which can feel very unnerving at times.

I don’t think I drink that much, at work its usually one in the morning and one right after lunch to avoid the food-induced coma. Max 1 or 2 on the weekends. Can’t imagine going a full month without it though, lol.


I have checked, and there’s really only one that specializes in adult ADHD. Already called them but I have to wait until the waiting list for 2025 opens in december.

I got an immediate appointment through 116 117, that was the worst therapist I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet. Brushed off ADHD as a “Modediagnose” (not sure how to translate this, negatively connotated trending diagnosis?) and we thankfully never talked about any further appointments


Coffee and ADHD
First off: I am still undiagnosed. I've followed the ADHD topic for more than a year now since I seem to match a whole lot of symptoms and behavior patterns. An official diagnosis will most probably still take another year. I live in Germany. One thing that got me wondering was caffeine. As I've heard, drinking coffee will make ADHD folks not feel any more awake, maybe even a little tired. While it doesn't make me feel awake as well, I very vividly remember my first coffee a long time ago that caused a massive outburst of productivity when all of the time I was known for being 'lazy' and distracted. However the effect quickly diminished with each subsequent coffee over the next year. Isn't this a contradiction though? If I actually had ADHD, why did coffee have this awakening effect on me back then?

So far every comment has perfectly described my situation. I’m with you 100% OP, I feel like this every single day
