I made what was objectively a tasty dinner and I managed about 2 bites before I just couldn't eat anything else. Guess I'll go back to a later than normal dinner time.

Vyvanse, since I know somebody will ask. Wonderful for focus, but hell on an appetite.

Strange.. my adhd leads me to forget to eat. I get so absorbed in today's obsession that I wonder why I'm so fatigued at 1pm after not eating anything after a tiny breakfast.

Usually it’s around the time I’m struggling to catch my breath inside my head that I realize I’ve neglected to intake solids.

Like I’ll be rushing around at work and thinking to myself “okay I have to do this first, and then this, and then, this. and. Whew. I have a lot ahead of me—oh, I must be hungry/thirsty/fatigued”. Does that make sense? I can feel my brain actually start chugging.
