Is my ADHD gone?

Hi everyone, I just found this sub and am delighted to connect with other fasters. I'll be spending the rest of the evening reading all of your posts.

I started a water fast more or less spontaneously on the evening of January 1st and, well, here we are.

This is about the easiest thing Ive done. It feels really natural. I've not had any hunger, mood swings, and have had very few energy dips. The one thing that's blowing my mind is that I have the clearest mind that I've had in years. My ADHD symptoms are essentially gone. My thinking is clear. I'd love to connect with other folks with ADHD who may have had a similar experience. Does this last?

I have a high stress job in IT... but this past week literally nothing has stressed me out. I am able to participate in meetings without being distracted. I'm getting shit done.

I always thought that fasting made people weak and a bit delicate. I was so wrong. The only really weird thing I'm doing is reading cookbooks. Like, reading reading them.

I hope others are having this experience. I don't know how long this will go on. In this moment, I wish I never had to eat again. I honestly think more people need to know about this. Wishing you all a great weekend.
