It took 2 full blown panic attacks to make me go see the doctor. I detest every minute of my handicapped life before getting on prescribed stimulants. And it’s almost exclusively from that bullshit OVERMEDICATED CHILDREN hysteria in the 90s.
Once you know what shit like ADHD, mild-moderate depression and anxiety looks like, you realize just how screwed so many people are just because of their upbringing, a fear of pills, or just being too old and stuck in their ways to get help now. They’re knocking away a literal lifeline while drowning in the ocean just because it looks like a pill lol.
Life with Adderall in the morning and a proper medicine regimen is like that 1 great day you have in the morning every few months where everything feels right and you have energy and did stuff and felt stuff.
Except it’s every damn day now lol. Fuck anyone who says not to try meds and scare others off with mostly bullshit horror stories by playing up the meds that didn’t work or ones they never stuck with anyway.
Sobriety feels fuckin great! Day 357, I’ve lost weight, my skins clearer, and I don’t feel anxious at all or depressed as much (still happens but it’s much more manageable at least). My only regret is ruining my past two relationships. well, I regret starting the last relationship, and ruining the one before that.
It gets worse, but can also get better or at the very least have some bright spots. Try not to give up hope , I know it’s easy to because I catch myself doing it all the time
Yeah I enjoyed college a lot. But I was broke and stressed and it was hard. I’ve lost loved ones, sure, but I’ve found new ones too. I’ve got a wife now, and I love her so much.
