This basically sums up my entire life with ADHD. It's all good until they start yelling at you.

My own pre-ADHD diagnosis coping method was to drink at least one (1) bottle of wine before attempting any major works. For the 'focus'.

The one thing I'm glad about is that ADHD meant I'd spent all my money on random shit, so I couldn't afford to get into drugs. Small mercies

I take one tea to bed to drink, and one to go cold so I can get caffeine down my neck within moments of waking.

That's a good idea. I program the coffeemaker to start brewing before I am conscious. But it's not next to my bed.

Yet.
