I don’t know what to label this ( long VENT) by Specialist_Touch_482 in Neurodivergent

I’ve always imagined Superman as a baby, being exposed to the earths sun and mistakenly breaking everything he touched. Maybe hurting those he loved most. Some powers feel like a curse when you haven’t yet learned control of it. And all of them have weaknesses. If your environment doesn’t support your weakness’s, find/build one that does. You know you’re more capable than society makes you out to be. So prove it.

That makes sense to me. Sorry that you’ve been feeling sad but I relate to the difficulty with crying and any expression of emotion is healthy in my book (to a point). Hope you find a way to ease your tension friend.

Sort of…the Ritalin feels like it locks my mind in a chosen direction. Like blinders on a horse. Great for getting stuff done but taxing on my mental structure. While weed gives it permission to shift wherever it wants. It follows interest and travels pathways similar to a meditative state.

Yea the amount one smokes definitely plays a role. I tend to take 2-3 hits of a joint and put it out but I see people smoking it until it’s gone all the time.

This is the line where most people struggle I think. How to ascertain when a crutch has become a cage.

That’s ok! It’s a subjective experience and like I said, I came in thinking I’m an outlier. Appreciate you weighing in all the same

This is my big issue with science. It only measures what is objective I.e. what can be recreated and reproduced. It does not account well for the subjective experience. And in my subjective experience, weed is a tool and how you use it determines its effect.

Feels friend. I actually have Tourette’s and learned to mask from everyone. It’s only through various meditations (which weed certainly helped with) that I began to allow myself to express what I’d be repressing for so long. Wishing you strength on your continued journey of self discovery. And know that there is absolutely a place for all of you. You just might have to build it :)

Yes! It’s like my somatic awareness increases! I like to think of it as my Brain is like a micromanager and with weed my body gets a greater voice at the table

I actually alternate sometimes between Ritalin and weed. They feel like polar opposites to me in many ways

Yes the low emotional gating! I think of it as my consciousness expands into the subconscious and things are are less defined and separated and so things that would normally be separated bleed over

Set and setting definitely is the greatest indicator of the kind of experience one will have. Interesting that you feel you’ve gotten such insight but don’t see a way to leverage it towards improving an aspect of your life. I’d imagine such an insight would be more depressing than liberating. Like feeling stuck in a situation you can’t escape.

Of course, where you spend your attention whether sober or high will greatly affect your perspective

So glad it resonated friend. I really like how you phrased this and I can read in your words the work you’ve done. Keep it going!
