    Thanks, very nice of you to send me these links. The thing is for me, I refuse to see my ADHD tendencies (never officially diagnosed, but pretty sure) as any kind of illness or shortcoming at all. It’s just the way I am. Fortunately I have the luck to live a life where it doesn’t affect me negatively, so I don’t see a reason to question it.

    The links talk about cocaine having a calming affect instead of a stimulating one. That’s funny, because I’m not even sure if it has an effect at all, I’m to dense to really notice any effect. To each his own.

    By the way, i just came home from a nights out and I’m on amphetamine, which definitely has an effect I notice. It cures my anxiety and lets me feel at ease. I’d never write these posts without it. Drugs are strange…

    I wish you the best my friend!

      Knowing more about yourself and giving yourself more tools doesn’t have anything to do with seeing it as a “shortcoming”

      That’s a perfectly healthy & grounded view, my friend. :) Apologies if I came across as pushy or like something that “should” be done. It’s awesome that it doesn’t impact your daily life!

      Drugs are certainly an adventure and hit everyone differently. Sometimes the adventure is life changing, be it bad or good.

      Wishing you the best too! Hope it’s been, and continues to be, an awesome night. Thanks for the wholesome exchange <3
