Thank you.
I wasn't diagnosed until 30, I could have probably had a degree at least. Mean I got halfway back in the day but yeah. High school was so easy I barely had to study, also didn't help with the work ethic for later. Nowadays I take random online courses sometimes just to learn new stuff. Plus it helps I'm too old to party but is that a factor? I'll never know. Mm
I did get it and I'm still not. See also Prozac, Wellbutrin, Ritalin, and Imipramine. Instead I got to be a Bitter INTJ diagnosed with Aspergers in my 30's
I got Ritalin at around 11 or so. I'd get home from class on pass out for hours. Anecdotally, Being hyperfocused as a little kid can be extremely exhausting.
Crazy to think having a home is something you should need to earn.
I was given adderall as a child and all I got was a lifetime of emotional disregulation and suicidality
I guess I may have jumped the gun in getting my kids diagnosed/prescribed. One responded well, the other not so much.
I was just trying to prevent more misery, divorces, struggle, etc, honest!
What would you say to your younger self?
"One a day of each, white in the morning and blue in the evening" as I hand him a garbage bag of Adderall and Prozac before happily blinking out of existence.
There’s no way child-me would’ve accepted drugs from a stranger that claimed to be me from the future. I was ADHD, but I wasn’t gullible.
that's just the D.A.R.E. program talking. Weed is... ...just great.
Didn't everyone decide on a secret codeword so your future self could prove they were really you? Come now, your child self really should have planned for this contingency.
He/She would have to know the name my childhood imaginary horse. I'm not going to post it but they would need to know that.
Horsey? Mr. Ed?
Good guesses! Nope!
For real, missing out on a lot of free drugs for this oversight
Shit, if my future self popped into existence, gave me a bag of drugs and said they would change my life, I wouldn't even question it. I don't trust other people, but I trust myself.
and said they would change my life
A garbage bag full of drugs will change your life, but for the better or worse is not really specified
If it's a true grab bag/assortment, it may well come down to the order in which they come out of the bag.
Wait, you take Adderall in the evening?
it's like Pizza bagels.
TIL there are blue Adderall
TIL there are white, lol
Now I want to try all the flavors
Orange is the best, pretty sure they add sweetener so it can be mixed into juice or something. You can dissolve it under your tongue without such a nasty taste.
Gonna try em all!
Adderall: taste the rainbow!
I have a house and continuously wish I havent bought it and just lived in a condo.
Lets say if I paid 500k for it, and have fixed it for $250k so far. I'm not getting that money back, ever. This house might be worth maybe $50k more at most.
Still kitchen and two bathroons to be renovated, and the whole house to be painted, and roof to be fixed, and I dont have the time nor money to do those. 2020s suck, I wish I was born 40 years ago.
I'm in a decrepit 1940s house as of a few months ago and I feel you. Still, I'm personally glad I (baaaaarely) managed to get something in my name.
Why wish you were born 40 years ago when you can wish you were born to a generational wealth family and had like $500K yearly allowance at 12.
Well now I guess I don't have an excuse
Imagine being so rich that you could have things like food, shelter and clean drinking water!
That's the best part, those necessities are being taken away to fuel the technology that is gonna keep the young unemployed
I have been assured that I was "smart" but "lazy" when I was six 😡 .
"gifted" "so much potential" 😑
Every parent/teacher evening contained a variety of "He's got the ideas in his head, but won't put them down on paper", but I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until I was 39.
Nah, fairly sure they misdiagnosed me, going to just apply for disability.
Ah yes. I too should have applied myself more. So they kept saying. Repeatedly.
So I'm officially the blacksheep, the dropout in my family. I was in honors in college and high school. I got to the workforce and I've solely worked in the service industry cause apparently I don't apply myself. I'm family therapy and when I told them I'm trying my hardest to find an apartment and looking for opportunities they said I wasn't applying myself.
I got frustrated with my dad at one point and said "then why the hell do I have just as much trouble doing things I want to do? He didn't have an answer to that...
Hi, longtime adderall taker here 👋
Unfortunately, no
Yeah I may have gotten adhd meds as a kid, but my mental health issues still weren't really dealt with until adulthood and I am still a millennial. The Adderall just means I have a college degree and didn't die in a car crash
