    I get major imposter syndrome if I do actually have ADHD, cuz I never forget to take my meds…

    I just find it so much easier to remember one thing that then makes me remember all other things. (I guess it does help that I have to take just 1 per day)

      It only took me $1,500 in out of pocket despite having insurance for them to start helping with meds since Vyvanse is the only shit you can get with any sort of regularity. Adderall XR is essentially impossible. I have to get a script for both regularly in case they can’t fill one. Thankfully all last year it was relatively easy to get Adderall still, this year it’s been impossible since February. I think I filled my bottle twice? lol

        I do not recommend Adderall. It puts you in a tunnel and gives you laser focus, but you see nothing outside the tunnel. The things outside the tunnel are sometimes very important.

        If you need to focus, sometimes the answer is to find better things to focus on. If you find one of those things, your natural abilities (known to most as disabilities) will drive you towards your goal faster than any pill, or normie is capable of.

        I am not a mental health professional, nor do I know every use case of this drug. Take my suggestion with a massive heap of salt.
