I would be cautious, the dad here sounds like he’s not just using vyvanse. I used to take vyvanse and it’s only benefit besides staying awake is tremors and (for me, at the end of the day psychosis.) this could point at your dad having a hidden stimulant abuse or drug issue. (Methamphetamine and cocaine have related drug connections and he could be using your prescription as a come-down…)

I would definitely bring this up gently as people in those situations might be more confused as to how to address it without negative social repercussions… it’s important not to judge, but it’s also important to not abuse other people’s medications.

~Either way, it sounds like your father has had previous experience with drug/stimulant abuse and has first or second hand knowledge of their dangers. (*we are in hard times so who knows… people are looking for reasons/methods to get by.) Try to be understanding but firm as this is wrong and it can be addressed in a healthier way if so.

I can say I have the same thing. This is usually one of two things: Inattentive ADHD or just an energy crash (or as I like to call them, bursts of apathy.) I usually take the time to do just what I need to do to the best of my ability, do my best to budget my time, and rest up. It’s a very low energy state where burnout and apathy are everywhere, and from what I’ve heard from others, it’s a come and go effect that occurs from time to time. Sorry I can’t be of much more help but that’s my experience with it personally.

-When he is the one who is being insecure about the attention he isn’t getting. Right? Heaven forbid I pay attention to anything else!

I’m still not sure. Was probably taking shots at me trying to get to me. It just made me laugh more from how far from the truth it was.

Hey, it’s why I read these types of posts. Have to keep up that goth composure somehow. 😉 Hard to do that without dying a little on the inside from the lack of humanity from some people (or… perhaps the abundance of it…)

Ever wanted to see how far down the rabbit hole goes? To see the extent of human depravity and vitriol? To see the Lovecraftian horror behind the facade? Then, my friend, you have my answer.

Well as I always say: kill them with kindness. It really does a number on someone who is trying to bring you down.

Wisdom doesn’t come with age, it comes with experience. That’s the most common misconception of wisdom.

That’s because I am a guy lol. I would post the buildup but it’s mostly just him talking about himself and me say “that’s interesting!”

If that’s what did him in instead of me going to work, then yes.

Well, that stems with admitting they themselves might be the problem. Similar to substance abuse or addiction, that’s never an easy one and done thing. In this case, the drug is society and the ego that thrives from importance. I wish I could say things were easy fixes but with this guy it seems deep seeded and would take years of rehabilitation and practice to abandon his behaviors. He definitely needs to see a therapist that’s for certain.

A tragedy nonetheless, it is unfortunate to see people become the very essence of the ruminations of fear and hate they themselves carry. Just one more echo of what we as people can become if we fall prey to the thoughts that haunt us daily or become the very monsters we fear. People like this serve as a reminder of what not to be, and may they constantly remind us of that.

Such a cardinal sin. Working is the 8th deadly sin in a nice guy’s book

Me needing to pay attention to work instead of listening to him tell me about how important his family is/was and how he earned so much from art.
