ADHD memes

I really can’t take my medication as it kills my appetite and it’s shit at the best of times. Really don’t know what to do

this is why the proper response in panel 3 is ‘no, fuck off’

I get people's intentions behind this, ignorant though it is. I think medicated ADHD folks get a little defensive about it too though. I took adderall and then vyvanse for about 15 years total. Now I don't take anything for it; I meditate and do THC recreationally (which was how I discovered the ADHD in the first place.)

I don't think medication is bad, I think it helps people live they way they feel like they want or must. I realized that I was caught up in the hustle trap, taking meds to optimize my brain for the purpose of being a better capitalist worker.

I actually really like my default state. I'm extremely flexible and creative, I get a mix of tasks done, and my emotions are well regulated. On Vyvanse I got a lot of work done, but i was also a rage zombie, and I was prone to falling into "productivity mode" where I could hammer out line after line of code that was all boilerplate or data entry, other easy work to focus on. The kind of thing my ADHD brain would force me to find an easier (better designed) way to do the task if I wasn't medicated into docile compliance.

So I'm not an advocate for either way: treat your mind the unique way you need to. But i really think the majority of ADHD folks are medicating themselves into acceptance of a broken and diseased system, when our brains have already been adapting to the actual needs of our information-overdense society.

This orange tube is full of NUNYA BIZNESS!! Good.day. Sir. Isaidgoodday. Arrgh, this triggered my anxiety so much. If I see one more person putting oregano oil up their noses to cure all their ills... x5 deep breath x5
