Bragging on social media about how someone said x and then you replied with x and the person was so stupended and shook by your response they literally had a heart attack and died or some bullshit like that
- In 20 years, filmmakers will be making period pieces set in the early 2000s with over-exaggerated aspects of that era, such as frosted tips, striped polos, shark teeth necklaces and blasting Sum 41 all the time
Are you implying that the 2000’s era wasn’t aggressively doing all of these things
My roommate just described adderall as an upper and not as an adhd med while on the phone with someone and like…
Listen. I’m not about to shame every drug user in the world I’ve toked that good herb I come from a family of addicts I get it
But for the love of good stay away from adhd meds.
You know what happens when adderall becomes the big party drug? The drug students without adhd abuse to get their homework done? It makes it harder for people with adhd to get the prescription
I was once denied my meds because I looked like a suspicious drug using kid. Meds I needed to keep my life together!! I’m unmedicated right now because of financial reasons and let me tell you it sucks I wake up way too late, I forget things, my moods are all out of whack, I cant focus, I have trouble socializing, my grades have gone down.
When you abuse ritalin and adderall you raise the price and the suspicion of doctors and pharmacists that people with adhd who need their meds might actually be drug seekers and its UNFAIR that you guys are taking the meds that just barely even me out and becoming super processing machines getting your shit down ultra fast while I take the punishment.
Find a different drug I dont care what at this point, but stop doing stuff that gets people with adhd glared at in the pharmacy line needing 3 kinds of ID just to pick up their script.
I have adhd, but id like to make a point that people with narcolepsy have the same medication. And they have to go through a lot of testing to get properly medicated for it. Its just another person to consider.
^^^^ yep good addition
When I was in law school, I finally got to the point where none of my coping strategies worked anymore and I needed help. The psychologist at the counseling center tested me and told me I absolutely have inattentive-type ADHD but he wasn’t even going to refer me for the testing I’d need to get meds. The abuse situation on campus was such that it was a six month wait before I could even start medication, and I’d have graduated or flunked by then. I never have gotten any medication, between one thing and another, and my life is worse for it.
I’ll be 34 next week and have struggled with ADHD symptoms since childhood. Growing up female in a rural community in the 90s, I flew under the radar of what needing help looks like. I failed out of university after freshman year. I’ve had a diagnosis for combined-type ADHD since my late 20s and began seeking treatment even earlier than that, but no matter what I do, I can’t get access to a medication that might help me. Just in my last city before we moved, I saw my regular doctor, was referred to a therapist in order to move on to someone able to prescribe, and saw that therapist as required–only to be told that the prescribing doctor wasn’t comfortable treating me and I would need to find an entirely new healthcare group if I really wanted help.
It’s also been now partially approved for CFS too just fyi
In college I had to buy a special safe for my meds and prove to my psychiatrist that I kept my Adderall under lock and key - and that said safe was not only hard to get into but also attached to my bed and could not easily be moved - before he’d write out my prescription.
Every single time I saw him I had to reaffirm that I kept my meds in that safe. Had to show him pictures of the safe and the meds in said safe, as well as come into the office with my pill bottle for some appointments so he could verify the exact specific number of pills I had left at that moment in time so I could prove I had not sold or given away any of them. My parents often reminded me to never mention my meds to my classmates, to always keep my door locked, and to be prepared for people enacting all sorts of weird cons just to get at my pills.
I was a 16 year old in college with horrific ADHD, and I was being told if I lost even one pill it would be the end of the world (note: not losing things, especially tiny little things? Not something people with ADHD find easy). I wound up developing a ton of pill based anxieties and fears, and at the end of my second year of college I begged my doctors to take me off them, simply because I could no longer handle the pressure of guarding them from my fellow students.
Yep, hi, I have debilitating chronic fatigue and depression that needs adderal and I can’t afford it and I couldn’t even get a prescription from my old doctor to cover the gap until I saw a new doctor in a new state. Not to mention it’s $150 a month.
This is where I blog and reblog random stuff I love, like cute fursuits, Lolita & Fairy Kei fashion, Bitching about Retail, My little pony, Sailor Moon, Cats, my favorite fandoms , Small shiny objects or whatever else happens to catch my interest. Oh yeah, and I'm hella conservative, don't like it? Don't follow. Simple as that.
