The struggle is insanely real. If I take a nap now, no way will I sleep tonight.
Meth for your lunch nap. Quad espresso for your nighty nights.
Imagine trying to party, and feeling perfectly normal, calm, and even tired, while everyone else is tripping balls.
What was your tell? Lol
At a music festival, actually able to listen to a complete song without my mind wandering… is this why people take stimulants?
We feel neurotypicalish with stims. But neuros feel wired, almost high, with them. We got the short stick in may ways, and the long stick in other, harder to find ways…
I didn’t know that at the time, pre-diagnosis, but it’s so obvious now.
Cocaine makes absolutely no sense to me. Are you having a good time, letting loose and getting relaxed with friends while enjoying a few beverages? Here, take this substance that will make you disturbingly sober. Everything is clear, level, and so very normal. Fun huh?
Sometimes I fantasize about doing cocaine so I can finally get my doctors appointments all made.
Same thing with weed for me. I vape it and then I can actually sit down and finish a task, have a conversation without my mind wandering or go outside without anxiety. I do have the double whammy of AuDHD tho.
Which strain are you using?
For me it’s a double edged sword. Sometimes I finally motivate myself to do some creative project I have been procrastinating, and other times I just get couchlocked or get munchies.
I know I cannot tolerate too much THC without balance with CBD, then I occasionally get the anxious ride. Too much CBD and it’s pure relaxation, too much THC and my mind is racing on associative overdrive.
Wish I had a strain and dosage that would have a reliable “therapeutic” effect for focus and motivation.
I have my meds and it’s great but I don’t like being dependent on a highly controlled substance and regularly go visit some doctor, if I had weed that is close enough… but I guess if it would exist, somebody would already push it as a treatment option already.
But I totally agree with being able to actually listen on weed. I listen attentively to my wife, or TV shows, or music. Life ist rushing by so fast, being fully immersed in the present for a while is a blessing.
It’s called Big Purple Dragon. Hope you’ll find your strain :]
Ditto for nicotine, caffeine, cocaine…
Normal people: “Oh I can’t have coffee after 9, or I’ll be up all night.”
Me: downs 2 large cans of NOS right before bed, sleeping like a rock 5 minutes later
One is not like the other…
They are for some people with ADHD!
I meant…
- Nicotine: Not good to recommend it, but legal in most countries.
- Caffeine: Fine to recommend it, perfectly legal just about everywhere.
- Cocaine: 🚨
Coffee knocks me out. Between the warmth and the actual ADHD relief, it is very hard to keep my eyes open.
