I had ADHD my entire life, and didn't know. My two best friends growing up were also both at the exact same just-under-genius-intelligence level as me, but without mental disorders. So on standardized tests, your SATs and ACTs, we'd make the same scores. Exact same. 'W' would get a perfect english score, and miss two math. L would get perfect math and miss two english, and I'd miss one of each. Kek. So we were in the 75th percentile of even fucking MIT, score wise, on tests none of us studied for.

The fucked part is that 'W' and I worked our asses off, and 'L' did not. But they don't have mental disorders like I do. So I got to see 'W' blossom into a person with amazing skills and results under his work ethic, and while I worked just as hard, I only just barely ended up surpassing 'L', someone I knew didn't work as hard. I was chasing improvement, but I was held back by a barrier I didn't know was there because it was a fundamental aspect of who I was. 'W' made it into Harvard as a poor white male with no advantages. Literally self-made. Proud of him. 'L' and I made it into UT. It's 'top ten', but it's also cope. At least I got into honors.

The inferiority complex this gave me is something I still grapple with. I had no idea what was holding me back. I only knew that I worked just as hard as 'W', was just as smart as him, and for some reason still performed worse, still performed only a little bit better than 'L'.

First year of college was rough, but the issues it presented made me realized I have ADHD. I got diagnosed! I'm medicated now! I don't dread test results anymore cause guess what? They're fucking hundreds, all of them. Hell yeah, applied thermodynamics, mechanics of solids? Weedout classes? Suck my damn medicated dick. I'm finally getting the results I've deserved my entire life.

If this reads like a jacking myself off blog post, it is.

For the first time in my life, I'm making progress toward loving myself.

This is a gay masturbatory blogpost, but still congratulations to you OP. Do the meds really make that much of a difference and are you sure its sustainable and not just the honeymoon period of taking amphetamines?

meth and adderall also feel extremely similar. You wouldnt be able to tell the difference if you took them both in weighted pill form

the meds make me better at everything. And it's sustainable.
People spin out on meth and adderall because they're tweakers taking tweaker doses practicing tweaker habits.
I get my sleep and excersize and water. I'm also supplementing myself with things to replenish dopamine: l-tyrosine and l-theanine. Also magnesium, vitamin d, and krill oil.
Also only taking 20mg XR a day, my minimum effective dose.
I literally don't experience a comedown, I just notice my ADHD come back.

ADHD is a made-up disorder. The drug you're taking will just fuck up your brain even more in the long run.

>> No.16080061

amphetamines can be genuinely life changing but after a year or two of regular use even at moderate doses you will be literally incapable of doing anything productive without it and you’ll be so anhedonic you’ll be praying to just get back to your inattentive baseline. have fun edging for 6 hours straight though that shit owns
