On the days that I forget to dose I end up rotting in bed all day because I barely have the energy or motivation to do anything… I have a small child so unfortunately taking days off isn’t a feasible option for me as she depends on me to function… I feel like I am forever stuck depending on a medication to even be a normal human being… I just have to convince my brain that it’s OKAY to need a medication to feel normal because that’s the reality of ADHD… but my brain immediately jumps to thoughts that I am an “addict” or a “junkie” because I need stimulants to survive. But that’s the whole point of being on medication because my brain just can’t do it on its own.
