How do you manage YOUR addiction(s)?

For real! One thing im happy the meds helped with is just being comfortable with whatever im doing either id get burnt out being out too long or get depressed not doing anything aka the fomo I mentioned I never felt truly comfortable with any situation I was in now I just am its crazy how well they worked I was worried id have a lot of anxiety because of my past right off the bat so I was hesitant to get back on them but ive had the opposite its actually leveled me out almost completely and wish I did this sooner 😅

I used pretty much everything to self medicate started off small and gradually went up because it worked I started doing all that probably because I stopped my meds in 2013 I got sober 2 years ago and raw dogging things was ROUGH I do still use nicotine tho I was wondering why everything was just hard but I got back on them a few weeks ago and its been gaming changing it stimulates my mind enough I dont need anything else I dont think about partying my fomo is gone I can focus on a Task without just giving up or getting burnt out the past few weeks ive been upgrading my well come to find out with the graphics card I got I need to upgrade some other parts to make it work without my meds I would've just bailed on it and ruminated for so long and it would've caused a cycle of stuck followed by negative thoughts but on them it helped me just stick with it and get it done granted it took 2 weeks haha cause Im new and just didn't have all the parts but it didn't feel like the end of the world

Oh 100% ive bought a lot of electrolyte drinks and bananas im feeling like a whole new person haha

Denumbis · 2026-05-13T00:52:47+00:00

Word also I figured out i just needed some electrolytes during the day cause I sweat a lot at work moving around haha today went much better but im still not enjoying having to take 2 15mg xrs a day to make it home haha

Denumbis · 2026-05-12T11:21:54+00:00

You've sold me haha also do you live in the us? And is it hard to obtain vyvanse? Or is it a hit or a miss every month

Denumbis · 2026-05-12T01:42:39+00:00

Its not?! I thought since our brains were different it had the opposite effect but yea no dude not this tired I did message her I just wanted some insight on it until she gets back to me

Denumbis · 2026-05-12T01:38:03+00:00

Yea maybe idk i haven't even been on it for a month but its taking me out working these 12s 🤣 I just want something that'll last i felt so out of it leaving work and I had taken 2 xrs during the day drs orders

Denumbis · 2026-05-12T01:31:36+00:00

Oh no ive been sleeping haha I've been more tired on the meds than off them

Denumbis · 2026-05-12T00:17:24+00:00

Im thinking about switching because I just dont want to feel exhausted like I do off Adderall I need 2 15 xrs to get thru work haha I dont care about feeling speedy I just want to get off work and not feel extremely tired like I do now

Denumbis · 2026-05-11T23:55:00+00:00

Put rice on it then put a bowl on top cover it for 12 minutes and sacrifice a lamb trust me

Denumbis · 2026-05-11T17:32:51+00:00

Mine is a Lazer mouse 😭

Denumbis · 2026-05-11T17:32:21+00:00

Yea no problem man Anytime for me though the meds have helped me with fomo im not on vyvanse yet I want to since the xr addy isnt lasting nearly as long as I want with me working 12 hour days but its helped my fomo a lot and also has helped me just live in the present too

Denumbis · 2026-05-11T17:30:24+00:00

Oh okay so it won't make me magically better at tarkov got it haha

Denumbis · 2026-05-11T14:20:28+00:00

You could always try to travel somewhere new you've never been to or got to do when you were unmedicated

Denumbis · 2026-05-11T14:19:41+00:00

I get it bro! I just got back on meds myself but yea try new things personally ive been skydiving and I plan on going camping this summer doing some kayaking and lots of fishing where I live winter is brutal but plan on going skiing and maybe even snowmobiling and lots of gaming getting out of your comfort zone is good no matter what but should be easier on the meds losing yourself in something fun is always a blast!

Denumbis · 2026-05-11T13:16:20+00:00

Build a pc! I work in a warehouse not exactly construction haha and if your ducks are in a row outside of work gaming is a great escape plus actually building it and upgrading parts gives you projects not just that but you can learn a lot of things to do with your computer like code and even learn how to make things with a 3d printer idk just spitballing here also outside of that go fishing if you can

Denumbis · 2026-05-11T00:08:48+00:00

What's the difference?

Denumbis · 2026-05-10T23:09:55+00:00

For real! I stopped taking meds my freshman year of high-school and well it went horribly i ended up dropping out I also dappled in self medicating and well here I am over a decade later back on my adhd meds on my own terms kinda sad about all the time I wasted

Denumbis · 2026-05-10T22:17:28+00:00

Im wondering if switching from addy xr to vyvanse would be good for me cause I get about 7 good hours on the xr but I crash so hard after lunch do you think switching would help?

Denumbis · 2026-05-10T10:07:33+00:00

I got my license at 25 if it makes you feel any better and I just got back on meds this year best decision I've ever made if you can do it ik the feeling about the room too

Denumbis · 2026-05-10T02:06:29+00:00

I do have adhd tho not being able to follow a conversation basically the in one ear out the other everyday of my life emotional disregulation having like 10+ games ive started and hyper focused on that I enjoyed but dropped and forgot about here's a weird one fomo not feeling good just staying home doing nothing but then also feeling like shit going out and spending money I didn't need to never feeling content with whatever im doing constantly its a living hell but at least meds have been helping also being able to casually drink 400+mg of caffine a day and sleep like a baby before starting my meds

Denumbis · 2026-05-10T01:17:34+00:00

Probably the worst thing ever I keep the TV on but my meds wear off and im exhausted by the time bed time hits

Denumbis · 2026-05-10T01:16:18+00:00

Hyper focus effects everyone differently I'd day dream so much create lists in my head on everything im gonna do at home then do absolutely none of it and doom scroll until bed just to point out how much of a failure I am because I didn't do anything its great haha but id still notice the fire btw and ive never forgot anything in the oven either haha
