    This is very accurate. In my twenties, I worked on myself relentlessly to try to become “grown up”. Eventually I looked around and realized that hardly anyone else was doing that, and people twice my age were still acting like children. Then they elected a man-boy King in their image.

          No those were the right ones, but there are also other ones that make you giggle so it doesn’t suck quite so much. Gotta find the right cocktail for you ;)

            I just had a try of elvanse at 50mg slow release yesterday from a friend, and damn it was heaven ((for a while, dose def too high for me, slept an hour during the night and had minor hallucinations (could be the slow release melatonin trying its hardest to shut me down)). Definitely asking the cannot sit still doctor to hit me with a 30mg for trial run.

            Sorry kind of off topic, just wanted to share, might be finally getting the right stuff bros! Atomoxetine after 1 year at 130mg making me depressed so that they told me to drop it, but impulse control and short term memory already taking hits after a week off that stuff. Just dont want to feel empty inside anymore, but also would like to function like a responsible adult, so let us see. Man feeling hunger pangs again is kinda bummer, although gets me motivated to cook though.

                Vyvanse almost killed me. Well, i almlst killed me, but vyvanse was the main factor for me feeling like a cracked out robot that couldnt eat, sleep, or talk to people. Only work.

                Meh. A bottle of 2.5 valiums is great for me when I visit Mexico, but where I live marijuana and mushrooms are available in government licensed stores. No scrip. Just walk in and buy what you want. We got drugs in Oregon.

        For me when I realized I was more grown up than the adults around me, I realized I could relax a bit and not hold myself to such an unsustainable standard. On the other hand I still have lofty goals for myself that I still strive to reach so I’ll pick up a ton of cool experiences along the way and maybe I’ll achieve those pipedreams or maybe I won’t but either way it beats just stagnating and aging in place
