How do I stop my body from telling me to fuck off when I need to get shit done.

ADHD doesn’t help

Should I go back on ADHD medication? I really don’t like having to see a psych once a month to get it though… Shit’s expensive (I feel bad for saying that though because it’s wayyyy cheaper for me than my American comrades)

    Pfft. Fucking drug war bullshit around Adderall. Because normal people use it for fun we’ve got to jump through all kinds of hoops. monke-rage honk-enraged monke-rage honk-enraged

    A lot of my people who have been diagnosed with ADHD as adults and have gotten adderall say it’s a huge game changer and has greatly improved their quality of life. I’m in the process of switching from Strattera to Adderall right now.

    I try to focus on small timescales. Like, I just try to make it through the next 3 days, and that’s it. There are things in my future that worry me, but who knows if I’m still alive by the time they will happen? In a way, I consider things that don’t happen within the next 72 hours my future self’s problems.

    Oh and I see a therapist for meds because im schizophrenic. Not every month but like every 2ish months its not fun but at least I only have to pay like 10 bucks for meds. I like my therapist so there is that.
