  • How people with ADHD feel every single day.

    Life is too overwhelming and I’m always burnt-out. Every single day. Even if I’m doing absolutely nothing, I’m tired all the time and never have any motivation ever. The worst part is that people accuse me of just being lazy and uncaring, even my own lover. They don’t understand what it’s like and never will.

    Even if I take medication, it wears off and eventually stops working entirely. So not only do I feel even more depressed and overwhelmed, now I have an Adderall addiction as well. So I stop taking it, go the next few months feeling the most miserable I ever have in my life, decide to start taking it again so that I can be a functional adult, tolerance kicks in after a coupe of days… Rinse and repeat until I die.






  • I can relate to this person. I entered the job market in 2008, the same year the economy crashed. I was immediately screwed the moment I was old enough to work, which set me up for failure from the beginning. I’m now in my mid 30s and I feel like I just haven’t been able to get my shit together no matter how hard I try. To this day I’m still working the same shitty retail and warehouse jobs for crumbs.

    Edit: Meanwhile my GF is in her late 20s, has a work-from-home job that pays $24/hr, and is a homeowner. She’s way more successful than I’ll ever be, cause shit wasn’t completely fucked by the time she started working. It’s not fair.

    That’s why I use nootropics instead of caffeine. Specifically this stuff. (Ingredients)

    No jitters, just dopamine. Slows my brain down, takes away the depression, and allows me to actually get shit done instead of sitting in front of the computer all day. A full capsule is too much, but they’re easy to open and extract the powder. I get 2-3 doses from a single pill.

    The effects of this particular blend I take are extremely similar to Adderall. It feels like it literally turns off my ADHD for a few hours. Unfortunately, it’s so similar to Adderall that it also has a similar comedown. But for a brief moment, it allows me to be a functional adult, and for that reason alone it’s worth it.
