ADHD memes

This is why the correct response to, "May I ask what that is?" is "No."

I’ve been prescribed one stimulant or another for most of my life.

A few years back, a friend offered to let me try some Columbian dancing powder. Did essentially nothing for me. Gave it another try about a year ago. Same result.

It is a complete waste to offer me that shit. For me, it’s literally just unregulated ADHD stims that might be spiked with fentanyl if you’re unlucky.

Prescribed is the key word here. How fucking stupid do you have to be to miss it? Person is probably a royal hater in all things.

"Yes, here's the name of my doctor on the side of the bottle. Feel free to call her and give her your wisdom."

I get people's intentions behind this, ignorant though it is. I think medicated ADHD folks get a little defensive about it too though. I took adderall and then vyvanse for about 15 years total. Now I don't take anything for it; I meditate and do THC recreationally (which was how I discovered the ADHD in the first place.)

I don't think medication is bad, I think it helps people live they way they feel like they want or must. I realized that I was caught up in the hustle trap, taking meds to optimize my brain for the purpose of being a better capitalist worker.

I actually really like my default state. I'm extremely flexible and creative, I get a mix of tasks done, and my emotions are well regulated. On Vyvanse I got a lot of work done, but i was also a rage zombie, and I was prone to falling into "productivity mode" where I could hammer out line after line of code that was all boilerplate or data entry, other easy work to focus on. The kind of thing my ADHD brain would force me to find an easier (better designed) way to do the task if I wasn't medicated into docile compliance.

So I'm not an advocate for either way: treat your mind the unique way you need to. But i really think the majority of ADHD folks are medicating themselves into acceptance of a broken and diseased system, when our brains have already been adapting to the actual needs of our information-overdense society.

some people aren't there for a conversation, but are just waiting for the right moment to say the thing they want to say to get the brain chemicals they reward themselves with once they say it.

"Have you tried [holistic bullshit]? It worked great for my [barely an acquaintance] who had [unrelated issues]!"

I think I forgot to take my guanfacine last night…

This orange tube is full of NUNYA BIZNESS!! Good.day. Sir. Isaidgoodday. Arrgh, this triggered my anxiety so much. If I see one more person putting oregano oil up their noses to cure all their ills... x5 deep breath x5

"You know, if you're struggling with hearing comprehension that much, you should probably see a doctor and not talk bs."

What part of prescribed adderall do u not understand?

Also, it should be pretty obvious they've got adhd if they're not going batshit coocoo after taking it, they're fucking amphetamines.
