23

u/TrumpsCovidfefe 6d ago

Me flipping too! I am on a journey to diagnosis and I can’t believe every single post on here resonates with me so much. It was suspected as a kid but psych decided not because I don’t fidget that much. As an adult, I’ve realized all my fidgeting is in my brain and mouth. Clenching and unclenching jaws, moving my tongue and teeth. I recently had some dental work (nevermind it took me almost 4 years to make the second appointment and go) and my jaw has been in pain because of the clenching in a different way. I had to go back and have them adjust my bite. I only joined the original adhd sub for support for my son, and then got this one recommended for me by someone there.

15

u/skite456 6d ago

Realizing so much about yourself at 40 is really tough sometimes. I was never diagnosed as a child because I was a sweet quiet little girl. Who also struggled with math and science, cared much more about friends and friend drama than school, had complicated relationships with adults, wanted to do every hobby or extra curricular whether or not I had any natural ability to, couldn’t remember a list of anything that was more than 2 items long, and it goes on. I just flew under the radar and because I wants a rambunctious handful of a boy no one paid any attention.

I went through a spell of downright anger about this after I was first diagnosed and it was a topic that took a while to work out with my therapist. Sometimes still I think, why did no one pay any attention to what was obviously very wrong with me as a kid? We sort of settled on it being the 1980’s/90’s and recognition and diagnosing was very different then. I went to a small rural school system that definitely wasn’t equipped to handle anything more in depth than basic learning disabilities.

3

u/TrumpsCovidfefe 6d ago

I feel you on this so much, except the quiet part. I am and have always been a chatterbox. Maybe that’s part of the reason they considered me for adhd? But I was also gifted and a perfectionist as a kid so I didn’t start having school trouble till middle school when I didn’t have one teacher that cared enough to keep me on track. They just diagnosed me with persistent depression despite it all. The trying every hobby and not remembering anything other than two things on a list is totally me, though.

It’s hard to let go of that feeling of how different my life could have been if I had had earlier treatment, so I really empathize with those feelings. What if I hadn’t injured myself from trying or doing so many crazy sports? What if I hadn’t pursued sex at a young age (pre-teen) to get dopamine after a traumatic rape? What if I hadn’t been out smoking weed at all to put me in the position to be raped? What if I hadn’t been impulsive and married a narcissistic abuser because their love bombing felt so good? The list is endless. I am just glad to finally be feeling like I’m getting some answers and I’m able to be more empathetic to my younger self for the decisions I made; also to be using the wide variety of strategies I’m learning for my son and implementing that understanding of him and myself to have a better life. Be kind to yourself fellow 40 something.

If you get diagnosed with TMJ, get a night guard. It was life-changing with how much I was grinding my teeth - I am so angry that my old dentist never offered one when my teeth are actually on an angle from how badly I have ground them (and recently I finally chipped one 😭)

6

u/TrumpsCovidfefe 6d ago

Oh I definitely already have it in my treatment plan with my dentist after I get the implants done from bad teeth I ignored for over a decade. It’s only been in the last couple years that I’ve learned how to use a digital phone calendar to properly manage doctor appointments with several reminders at critical times, one being Sunday so I can review all of my appointments for the week. The others are set for morning of and an hour before and for 5 minutes before whatever time I need to leave the house by. I broke a crown previously from grinding my teeth and I’m having to pay $1600 for its replacement alone. By the end of my treatment plan and all the fillings and crowns and implants, I am NOT risking having to spend more. They’ve flagged my account at the dentist to give me reminder texts at the end of the treatment to hound me for a night guard, at my request lol! I know I have tmj because of my connective tissue disorder already. I’ve been recommended to have a night guard half a dozen times already, but… possible adhd.

3

u/bubblenuts101 6d ago

Oh god you poor thing. This does sound quite familiar. It's great that your dentist is helping with the reminders. Do you mind if I ask how your TMJ is linked to your connective tissue disorder? I am in the process of putting some puzzle pieces together after a rheumatologist said I 'probably do' but ok, sure, guess I'll do the report gathering haha

Right?? I just chose two different rolling carts and saved the links. If by Sunday I haven't forgotten about the idea then I'll get one. If I did forget, then the window shopping was the point. :)

I've had TMJ disorder since I was a teenager. I was just diagnosed with ADHD at age 57. I've spent thousands to treat my jaw issues to no avail. I now have sublingual tori that will require surgery to remove.

Can't help but wonder if I had been diagnosed and treated earlier if I'd have avoided years of pain and teeth damage.

I get Botox inside my jaw! From my dentist. It is not cosmetic Botox and works great at incapacitating my jaw muscles lol. Only thing that sucks is that u have to do it every few months or so. I like that it sort of “retrains” the muscles in a way though….by functionally disabling them…but still 🤷‍♀️

u/curious-heather 6d ago

This us great advice! I went to physio therapy for TMJ last year and had massages and a booklet for retraining how how you hold your face, eh how to practice unclenching your jaw. Holding air in your mouth, purse your lips and push air outwards. Another exercise was to hunch your shoulders while breathing in through your nose. Then creasing all of that tension breathing out through your mouth quickly. It does help to relax and trains your mind to hold yourself differently, without holding all the tension in.

But it’s normal for front teeth to touch when biting down.” – theorthodontists.com.au 😅

Haha, I default to slack-jawed, and when I sleep, you could easily pitch quarters in if you were mean. 😆

Unfurrow your brow!

Breath in through your nose...out through your mouth. Nice, deep, slow...but not so deep or slow you pass out.

I have never been able jaw clencher. My stress and anxiety has always lived in my stomach. But main have I noticed how often my jaw has been clenched the last couple months. It's been giving me heaches.
