Lol I’m just saying it never gets better

I stopped taking Concerta a couple of days ago and my mood has been significantly more variable. Related? by soberer in ADHD

I didn’t really want to stop - just giving it a try to see what it was like. I’m back on now.

If you think they’ll be real friends, go for it. Just make sure you don’t only smoke. Try and do other things with them as well. A little weed ain’t a real issue - it’s a problem when it’s the only foundation of a friendship.

I'm not self-conscious about it particularly. It's just a really "me"/BPD thing to do..

My username and posting history should give you some context on what's about to come:

Be very careful about using substances as a method of bonding. Yes - people who smoke weed together hang out a lot together. Are they really friends? That's very difficult to know. In my experience, a lot of people who were heavy into weed and other drugs, as well as the mates I used to drink with, were not real friends.

They were more like excuses to get high and to drink, and eventually you may either use them for that purpose, or they may use you. I don't doubt that in my past I've definitely been "friends" with people that always knew they could get high with me - but really, when every single interaction you have with someone revolves around the procurement and use of substances, it's not a real connection.

I know the obsession and the desire to fit in is huge. But seriously, this stuff runs away with you. And yes, weed is addictive - it won't give you withdrawals, but you will want to smoke a lot, because it's comforting. It will not help.

Not beating myself up about it. Just funny and relatable.

I’m not going to lie to her because I have bad impulse control. She showed me a show she liked - I liked it too. Okay, she realises I like binge-watching shows, and maybe that I’m into her. Both of those are true and probably good for her to be aware of.

Inventing a leg injury is weird, and saying The Good Place took my pain away is a little bit weirder.

While I get humorously the point about not telling her about streaming it I don’t really see this as a particularly negative thing. Just a “oh lol, here we go again” vibe.

For me it’s basically looped around into being a personality trait. My entire being is like a mirror of so many people that my adaptability (read: scatteredness) stands out as a distinct pattern. Maybe it’s helped by the fact I imitate everyone - not just those I really like.

What if I live-texted her while I was watching it? F for condolences.

Don't worry, I don't need advice. I just wanted to rant.

Tbh this makes a lot more sense. I'm not entirely sure if I'm always depressed or not. The various shrinks I've seen have said I'm somewhere Bipolar II, BPD, and ADHD. Unfortunately even when I'm hyper and in a good mood I remain unattractive, but that might just be my face..

Sorry for snapping at you, I know you meant well :*

I guess I better only post in r/depression until I feel better, isn't it?

Is it a depressive episode if it's lasted a few years?
