In this episode of Tuesday Stories, J.R. Bjornson shares his personal journey with being diagnosed with ADHD and how stimulant medication has impacted his daily life.

He breaks down what ADHD feels like as a blind person, including the mental noise, lack of motivation, and the “invisible wall” that stops tasks from being completed.

This episode offers a real, relatable look into ADHD from diagnosis to treatment, and why this podcast wouldn’t exist without the right meds.
