      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.
