I've been extremely lucky and get virtually no side effects after the initial first few weeks, which weren't fun but still better than a lot of people. I can take atomoxetine on an empty stomache but I've heard many people like OP who can't. Since I didn't get any nausea in the initial period, I chanced it on an empty stomach and that's the way I take it now.

I also had never experienced runner's high until I added extremely light runs. My regular runs would usually leave me tired so I thought that I didn't experience them like other people. I don't remember exactly why, I think it was I need to hit a higher mileage threshold, so I started trying to get any extra miles in anytime I could, including a light jog anywhere I needed to go. That's when I finally experienced it. For me, key to the runner's high was the runs that got my heart rate into zone 2-3 (approx. 60-75% max HR) but importantly weren't long runs which would tire me out. Tiredness is a big trigger for me to feel shitty so I think that's why I never had the feel goods after the runs.
Reading the picture from right to left makes it so satisfying.
Shoes are my biggest cost. I only buy when they are on deep discount but I'm always on the lookout. I always end up paying the most if I wait too long to buy when I don't have the luxury to wait. The biggest sales are usually on the older models and I embrace the ugly colors.
I made an effort every year or so to cull any subreddits with a lot of negativity. All the supportive communities that were important to me also have doppelganger communities here on Lemmy that i'm now subscribed to. I like the positivity on this platform better anyway so getting rid of reddit will just make my life better.
I have paper and digital sketchbooks and a paper journal I write in at the end of the day. I like the journaling habit but I have to be careful I skip too many days in a row or I don't keep it up.
I experienced a bunch of side-effects that pretty much all disappeared after the first ten days. I read online that they cleared up for most people, sometimes taking a month. The only side effect I have now is an increased heart rate approximately 15bpm but it's still considered in the normal range and exercising helps. I feel slightly less able to focus after a couple of months of taking it, but I'm definitely a lot more productive than I was before so it might just be my perception of the effectiveness. Emotional regulation was my biggest ADHD issue and atomoxetine helped a lot in this area and it's effective all day long so that was a big plus for me.
