idk about that, why not? 🤔💜

It’s mind control. That’s my whole point. Nothing is wrong with you. Your mind is different from the mind they want you to have, so what. Know your strengths and learn your weaknesses. You don’t need meds.

Remember the musicians we mentioned earlier. Probably ALL of them would’ve been on some mind numbing prescription med if talked to a doctor. Would they still be alive? Maybe. Would they have made the amazing music that they made that lives on for all time? Absolutely not. They would’ve been zombified versions of themselves.

would love to know more about the mind control part 🤔

also adhd medication shouldn’t be mind-numbing like ssri’s are for depression, no? 🤔

really love your insight 💜

When I said mind numbing I didn’t mean actual numb… I meant messing with the natural state of it. Just curious, what’s wrong with your mind, in your opinion?

uhh, hmm 🤔 that’s a really good question, which i haven’t asked myself yet, at least that directly

i’d love to dm you about it 💜

For sure

You should try anyway because it's better to know what it is.

When you are on them, there are a lot of changes to how you feel internally.

Pay attention to how you think about something intuitive like your stride on vs off of it. For me, I remember being less aware of where my legs and hands are. Kind of like having less data from all sensors, especially internal ones. This input is good for me because I have learned to watch it and stop before burnout.

Stimulants, if instant release need to be taken multiple times per day. I noticed when they stop working throughout the day and then had to take another (as prescribed.) It was hard to start a task unless it was right after I took a tablet. It was also hard to remember to take them and throwing off the schedule really destroys productivity.

It's worth mentioning that the effects for stimulants taper over time. I was instructed to take a 3 week tolerance break (which did not reset my tolerance). The first month will be fine but negatives surface after that.

Nonstimulants are pretty much persistent but negative effects can compound or just be easier to notice after a while.
