Thanks to my wife I've come to learn that I probably have ADHD. I never would have realized it on my own, but it's so obvious when someone points it out. If she has an extra cup of coffee she is buzzing and shaking for hours, whereas its basically a sedative to me. I can drink a whole pot and still pass out on the couch for a mid day nap lol.

Nic+Vyvanse+Caffeine. Father+son+holy spirit.

I get hypomania from intense stimulants like Vyvanse but atomoxetin, which I'm on right now, doesn't work as well even at the highest dosages. Sooooo I heavily self medicate with nicotine, it's good that it also feels amazing
Just don't smoke actual cigarettes, guys. I guess everything tobacco is bad (I'd argue for snuff though), but cigarettes really are that much worse than everything else

Why take the atomoxetin if it doesn't work and nicotine does?

Snuff fucks up your mouth. Scroll down to cancer and dental:

That's moist snuff, taken orally, not dry snuff, which is taken nasally. It's a common misunderstanding about snuff brought on by the US government's refusal to update their terminology... In 2025 snuff means only dry nasal, while most people refer to "moist snuff" as snus or chaw :)
The atomoxetin does work, it's just not as strong and as consistent as necessary. I have gotten the go ahead to use Ritalin at low doses in particularly low functioning days (along with atomoxetin), but last time I tried it made me dangerously hypomanic. So I take some espresso shots and pinches of snuff throughout the day, or maybe a Zyn, which I recognize the risks of using, but it's only occasional

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Well, it won't be occasional for long. I heared from multiple people about how it started occasionally.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

It's not heroin lmao
Anyway, I only get zyns as a treat from friends traveling abroad, as it's not available where I live. If I had that crazy impulse to get more and more nicotine I'd just start smoking, and that hasn't happened even though I'm doing this for years now

Why not nicotine gum? Or the patches?

(Asking as someone who grew up around smokers, dippers, and chawers - and now I'm incredibly grossed out by tobacco spit)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Pricing and availability are both better for the real stuff where I live. Also, I'm not trying to quit, I actually enjoy the flavor and the buzz, so I'm not really trying to sub.
I've never dipped, it seems interesting but I also can't get past the spitting thing, grosses me out

I decided I didn't need my ADHD meds anymore when I was in my late teens. Spent most of my 20s smoking about a pack a day and drinking 6 or 7 cups of coffee. I quit smoking in my late 20s, struggled until my early 30s, then started taking my medicine again and realized I was an idiot.

Ah, yes. that explains why i still crave cigarettes after quitting 10 years ago.

I received my strongest encouragement to never smoke when my high school history teacher said he hasn't smoked in fifteen years but will see someone smoking and think to himself: damn that looks tasty

My theory, which there's no evidence, is that we ignore the effects of modern society, and that people are very anxious. And sometimes we're too caught up in our own ass to recognize anxious behavior, but some people get overwhelmed. I feel a lot of people are in a constant state of fight or flight and with things like the fear of missing out or the constant push and pull of this meaning of life, making a peasant's wage without even a peasant's day off creates very scatter-brained, anxious, citizens. Cigarettes are stimulants. People do drugs because they're sad. People normalize this sadness because what else is there? I mean, imagine losing your job and being really good at it, but then some subservient cock sucker is getting promoted. And you sit there and expected to internalize this. I mean, you ain't no rocket scientist, but you can fucking do basic algebra, and the numbers don't fucking add up. Not only that. You learn that the metrics aren't even taken in account, certain variables. So it's just like lower the bar we're doing great. I also think the emotional trauma that people experience can manifest itself. As it repeats itself over and over again, the brain chemistry changes. It is a self-fulfilling fucking prophecy. is the by-product of a world with exponential gains is the by-product of a world with exponential gains but no improvement at the bottom. Mass shooters are the byproduct of socioeconomics. Stop calling people incells. They're fucking mad, angry, confused, and poor. Men are suffering. Women are suffering. Families are suffering. And memes, they don't do enough. There is no war but the class war. https://www.theviolenceproject.org/

So your link is to a great org, doing good work, but I was secretly hoping it was a link to a “violence project” detailing a plan for a violent class war … :( I think I need to relax
