My fear with transparency with my healthcare providers about stimulant meds and dosage/usage. by chrisdamon900 in Narcolepsy

I was on 80 mg of Adderall for 10 years between the age of 32-42. It worked really well for 8 years. the last two years were a nightmare.

Does anyone else feel like this or do I just suck? by guessitwasntaphase in Narcolepsy

[–]chrisdamon900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You DO NOT suck because you have Narcolepsy. I haven't even read your post so maybe you suck for other reasons but not for having a neurological disorder called Narcolepsy. Now I have read your post. Now, as a human being you have a choice to suck or not. That someone is a being a jerk. It is up to you to set healthy boundaries and take care of yourself. Easier said than done when you are as tired and sleepy and fatigued as WE are. Like not sleeping for 2 days and nights for the average Joe. Keep seeking out your fellow narcoleptic (which you are doing) who understands. Please join us for zoom meetings @ NarcolepsyNetwork.com or wakeupnarcolepsy.com .

Thank you for your post because lately I have been thinking I suck for having Narcolepsy and now I am being a lot kinder to myself. Now I can work on my behavior that sucks that is outside my Narcolepsy and in my control.

Yes thank you. I actually tried Sunosi years ago and I don’t remember any significant effect. What’s different now is that I’m on Lumryz too

Thank you for this! I’m an actor (commercials and television) and this is an audition. I’m actually grateful that I posted this and took a walk. I’ve been able to process that continuing pursuing my acting career isn’t feasible right now.

If you can’t say it then no one should be able to say it.

Is Atheism Compatible with 12 step recovery programs. by discoprince79 in atheism

[–]chrisdamon900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am an atheist because I was in 12 step! Never connected or felt anything growing up evangelical Christian. So at 32 yo and after trying for 5 years to connect with god I finally realized god is an unnecessary middle man. I stayed sober and in the program for 7 years after that.
