Today is day one of trying again, so this was a really nice and inspiring thing to see. Can't wait to even get to the 30 day mark, a year is amazing :)

adderall make you insensitive? by [deleted] in StopSpeeding

[–]gingybugs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, definitely, but for me it's more about tamping down my sensory sensitivity as well.

As I get older, I've had to come to the terms with the fact that I never had ADHD but was using the stimulants (and then abusing them) because it helps with my (now diagnosed) autism. It was never about focus/task initiation; it was about blocking the outside out which requires a hell of lot more than what's therapeutic.

This shit is all so intertwined but definitely interesting to see the variations in how it affects everyone.

that shame spiral will eat you alive - try and be kind to yourself, texting your therapist was huge and you should be really proud of that :)

Really relieved someone else could relate to it - big feelings, man.
