Someone is slipping anon some stimulants without their knowledge

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 46 points 4 months ago

Yeah that's just what Adderall feels like

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago

Except video games suddenly get interesting and working out goes from “let’s do this 24/7” to a good idea in moderation. Yes I have hyperactive type

[-] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 16 points 4 months ago

you're telling me taking a little bit of speed every day helps you read

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 months ago

[-] GluWu@lemm.ee 75 points 4 months ago

You're manic OP. Try and enjoy the BPD.

[-] figaro@lemdro.id 2 points 4 months ago

They probably mean bipolar.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

They should drop the "D" then. Bipolar is shorted to just "BP".

The brain continues developing until around 25, especially the prefrontal cortex. "The development of the prefrontal cortex of the frontal lobe allows us to process the pros and cons of a decision before it is made. “It lets us to do things most animals cannot,” explains Dr. Stanislaus. “Decision making, logical thinking, reasoning — all of those things happen because of the frontal lobe.”

Perhaps Anon also became able to afford/figured out how to sleep, eat, drink alcohol, etc responsibly and small successes built on themselves to better general health.

[-] Strocker89@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 4 months ago

I noticed the same thing around 25, like all of a sudden I was capable of making better decisions on things that make my life better. It coincided with the average age of maturity for the pre-frontal cortex. Felt like a switch was flipped.

[-] Anamnesis@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

Wish this was me. I've been making the same dumb decisions since I was 20 and now I'm in my late 30s

[-] Pencilnoob@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

I felt the same effect about age 28. It was like I woke up out of a fog. So many things made sense. I also started getting a lot better sleep and exercise by then too.

[-] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 68 points 4 months ago

Y'all got any more of them mystery motivators

[-] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 68 points 4 months ago

Damn OP is lucky, I get the opposite where every once in a while it feels like my brain suddenly downshifted and added a new layer of fog that never goes away, instead I just acclimate to the new feeling of reduced capacity.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 63 points 4 months ago

I turn 29 next month and sometimes I still feel like I have no fucking clue what I'm doing

Like, I'll be sitting in my bed trying to sleep and feel utterly confused about how I managed to fool everyone into thinking I should have my own bedroom in an apartment

I would like to awaken plase

[-] zerosignal@lemmy.world 24 points 4 months ago

I'm 44 and I don't feel like I know what the fuck I'm doing.

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

I'm beginning to wonder if it ever makes sense ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[-] logos@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

43 and have learned to stay away from people who think they got it all figured out.

[-] madejackson@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago
[-] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 months ago

I'm faking mine

[-] QuantumStorm@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 38 points 4 months ago

Someone started slipping ADHD meds into anons food.

[-] Mikufan@ani.social 27 points 4 months ago

Anon leveled up for the first time. +5 intelligence points

[-] Maeve@kbin.social 25 points 4 months ago

My brain fog lifted; people don't like it when they know you know when they're gaslighting you. Now I just wish my devices' (all of them) ai autocorrect brain fog would go away.

[-] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 23 points 4 months ago

Bro just got overclocked

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 17 points 4 months ago

Someone started giving you Adderall in your sleep.

[-] therealjcdenton@lemmy.zip 14 points 4 months ago
[-] macisr@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 months ago

That's called adhd, it's gonna come around mannn.

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 months ago

Crayon dislodged.

[-] Illuminostro@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

And he got a boyfriend. Handsome dude. Good for him.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

Sounds like a stroke to me.

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago

Literally an episode of King of the Hill

[-] yokonzo@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

I literally had the opposite. Around 25, even though I've been taking my ADHD meds my whole life and actually feeling pretty clear headed and intelligent. Around that time a thick "brain fog" just kind of settled over me and ive been like that ever since

[-] Wirlocke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 months ago

You can build up tolerance to ADHD meds, maybe ask your psychiatrist to take a break to get rid of tolerance? It shouldn't be for too long.

[-] yokonzo@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Oh wow, that's a bit of a scary thought tbh, ive been on the meds since I was 12 and now I'm nearly 30. Maybe it is time to open talks with my psych about it though. It's getting a little hard to obtain Adderall

[-] lessthanluigi@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

This was me after I got off my antipsychotics

[-] venoft@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Adulthood just hit him overnight.

[-] alekwithak@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

No one ever dented an appliance with your face and it shows!

[-] ToyDork@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

What does it mean when you are already barely functional, and then when you're 27 your mind literally goes to hell and when you get back to sanity you're never the same and you hate everything?
