    This is definitely me. I never feel hungry in the morning until I’m nauseous. Fortunately, my wife found these protein bars at Costco that are pretty good. I’ve been packing one of those with me to work and i eat it just as I’m starting to feel gross (or all the coffee starts tearing up my stomach). Small enough that I don’t feel more sick, but enough food to get me through the rest of the day.

    The only way I know it’s time to eat is when I start feeling sick, and then the only way I can get myself to eat is by forcing the munchies with a bunch of weed.

    Aren’t bodies fun?! 😬

    Nausea signal means your blood sugar is low. At least… that’s what it means for me. First time it happened, I was out all day playing paintball. Around 4 we stopped to go home and I was feeling nauseous as hell, went to a payphone to call my mom and have her come get me, throwing up mid-phone call. She thought I was just faking and told me to walk. But I felt so tired. I sat down and fell asleep for a little bit. Got up and started going home. Kept throwing up, and passing out. My best friend ran into me while skateboarding over to my house and I told him how I felt so he mashed off to my house to get my mom to take me seriously, but before they got back I guess someone called 911 and an ambulance showed up and checked me out. Had a blood sugar level of like 20 or something ridiculous on the meter and they gave me some juice and told me to get home and eat. Now any time I feel hunger pangs at all, I eat something.

          Plain water can be hard for your body to do anything with especially if it’s cold and your body has to warm it up first. But no salts or sugars can mean it’s hard for your body to absorb it. You really should attempt some fiber or protein as well and give your stomach acid something to work on.

      OH.MY.GOD!!! I thought I was crazy because I don’t know anyone else that actually hates eating breakfast like I do. It’s like a mild nausea, and even the smell of breakfast food makes me repulsed from associating it with eating in the morning. I had no idea it was related to ADHD. Wowwwwwwwww 😮

    Ugh, add in chronic nausea from migraine and it’s a joy. My nausea level, hunger level, and desire to eat are all disconnected. But they all have to align if I want to successfully eat. So much fun. All hail Zofran.

    Do you drink coffee? And have you tried a day without?

    I love coffee, but it fucks me up if I drink it before my first intake of food.

    Though I keep doing it. And then some nicotine to seal the deal.

    Good luck.

      I drink lots of tea. When I make myself a tea I never make 1 cup but 2 cups at once because 1 cup in not satisfactory at all lol. I try to drink bottled water as much as I can but my brain simply prefers tea much more.

        Ah, yes. The Tea. I drink a lot of tea when I try to cut my coffee intake. It’s quite sour and can be hard on an empty stomage. Even more so than coffee. I recommend an accid reducing supplement. When I tea-binge, I drink sodium bicarbonate dilluted in water. Because I’ve vomited multiple times after my morning gallon of tea.

      Given the sub, ADHD meds are the more likely reason - though coffee will definitely do it to a lesser extent.

        Makes sense. I take 30 mg methylphenidate depots which I find quite mild in regards to appetite repression. Though I guess some may be on more severe medications or/and at higher doeses.

          Back when I was on 5mg Ritalin (this was a long time ago now) I lost probably a third of my body weight, and could frequently live for days off a pack of chips or similar. Meds and mileage varies though.

    I’m telling you there’s a magic weapon here, I call it, “a bag of trail mix in my pocket”. If that can’t do it, and an apple doesn’t help, then I really have to eat something more substantial.

    You know I’ve not been diagnosed but I relate to practically every post in this community and now it makes me wonder. No insurance to see a professional about it though.

      Nearly every post I’ve seen is not only applicable to me, but my wife, friends and family.

      So either these aren’t things unique to the ADHD experience or everyone I know has ADHD.

        A lot of those things are not unique to ADHD but we experience them much much more often and those experiences are also much more severe than the average person’s. Someone shared under one of the posts here the quote “everyone pees but if you pee 60 times a day you need to see a doctor”. I butchered the quote up but it should get the point across.

        It’s also worth to note that people with ADHD tend to stick together (or at least I have heard that pretty often back on r/ADHD) and ADHD is mostly genetic. So there’s a chance that some of your friends, wife, and family ineed have ADHD but I’m making big assumptions there.

        It’s a common issue in psychological and medical circle’s that you can self diagnose as having things when learning about symptoms for the first time.

        Usually the difference is “everyone does this from time to time… People with syndrome Z, do this all the time”

        For example, everyone is late to things or loses their phone/wallet occasionally… I lose my phone Almost daily and am more often late that not, even when I prepare well in advance.

          I get what you are saying, and I don’t mean to trivialize ADHD or anyone’s experience. I just feel that many opinions and experiences I’ve seen here are common occurrences to me and most people I know. It’s impossible to judge how frequent or distressing each of them are to anyone who is suffering due to them. In my experience nearly everything posted here is a not a “that happens once in a while” but a “yes that is a thing humans do.”

          I think since everyone who has ADHD only knows what it is like to have ADHD many silly things everybody experiences are seen as a result of ADHD. Like giving up on a comment while posting it.

          Once again, I have no way of judging how impactful, frequent and distressing any behavior is for another person, nor do I think there is benefit in doing so. I just believe that much of content I’ve seen here is not unique to ADHD people.

        I want to thank you for providing this source. It’s given me more to think about. While the information provided doesn’t provide and definitive answer for my case. (How could it?) It does shine a light on issues that I personally experience. While I don’t fully relate to symptoms like, poor impulse control and I don’t fail to organize my day-to-day, what does stand out is the “persistence toward the future” as he points out early in the video. I have started many personal projects: I have bought a guitar because I want to perform music. I buy notebooks with the intention of writing a story. I bought expensive microphones with the plan to work on a YouTube channel. I have purchased courses for coding to start a fresh career. I have not achieved a large goal in anything like what I have just mentioned, not since obtaining my Bachelor’s degree. I struggle with delayed gratification. This may or may not be ADHD or it could be another disorder.

        Thank you again, it gives me s direction for seeking healing.

          I’m very happy to hear that what I wrote actually helped someone. You don’t have to relate to everything said in the video because everyone experiences ADHD differently. But if you relate to most of the stuff siad there then you very probably have ADHD. If you want to learn more about the topic then continue here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/wiki/index/ .

    Aged about 11, my class were asked to write a paragraph about our experience with hunger. Mine was about how it was nice to anticipate a meal with family. I remember the first sentence “being hungry is great…” The teacher thought I had taken a very creative approach and read mine out, but I was just surprised at how different everyone else’s were. It’s only 30-odd years later I realise that i didn’t actually know what hunger was.

    Anyway this has reminded me I’ve only eaten a couple of slices of bread in the last 2 days and I should probably do something about that

    I believe there’s two pieces of science here:

    1. For at least some, this feeling is related to ADHD medicine. Many are appetite-suppressants (some people are even prescribed Vyvanse only for regulating appetite). So when our appetite is suppressed, nausea is the next thing.
    2. Initial hunger often comes in waves. So for those with hyperfoucus we often push through the first wave, and the body gives up in trying to tell us we’re hungry. So the thing that actually gets us to eat is again, nausea.

    Nausea = lack of electrolytes

    Hunger can also often be lack of electrolytes

    Get a supplement. Save money and time.
