So many of the people who spend prolonged amounts of time in the fantroll community are going to leave this place to discover, possibly years down the line, that they have been conditioned and groomed to have abuse victim responses to conflict.
Consider this a reminder that constant fear of someone becoming angry with you is not a normal or healthy state of being. If you find yourself worrying about this all the time, please take some time away from tumblr, and if you have access to it, consider talking to a therapist.
Please take care of yourselves.
hi…wow this is true, ive literally grown up in this community
My roommate just described adderall as an upper and not as an adhd med while on the phone with someone and like…
Listen. I’m not about to shame every drug user in the world I’ve toked that good herb I come from a family of addicts I get it
But for the love of good stay away from adhd meds.
You know what happens when adderall becomes the big party drug? The drug students without adhd abuse to get their homework done? It makes it harder for people with adhd to get the prescription
I was once denied my meds because I looked like a suspicious drug using kid. Meds I needed to keep my life together!! I’m unmedicated right now because of financial reasons and let me tell you it sucks I wake up way too late, I forget things, my moods are all out of whack, I cant focus, I have trouble socializing, my grades have gone down.
When you abuse ritalin and adderall you raise the price and the suspicion of doctors and pharmacists that people with adhd who need their meds might actually be drug seekers and its UNFAIR that you guys are taking the meds that just barely even me out and becoming super processing machines getting your shit down ultra fast while I take the punishment.
Find a different drug I dont care what at this point, but stop doing stuff that gets people with adhd glared at in the pharmacy line needing 3 kinds of ID just to pick up their script.
I have adhd, but id like to make a point that people with narcolepsy have the same medication. And they have to go through a lot of testing to get properly medicated for it. Its just another person to consider.
^^^^ yep good addition
When I was in law school, I finally got to the point where none of my coping strategies worked anymore and I needed help. The psychologist at the counseling center tested me and told me I absolutely have inattentive-type ADHD but he wasn’t even going to refer me for the testing I’d need to get meds. The abuse situation on campus was such that it was a six month wait before I could even start medication, and I’d have graduated or flunked by then. I never have gotten any medication, between one thing and another, and my life is worse for it.
I’ll be 34 next week and have struggled with ADHD symptoms since childhood. Growing up female in a rural community in the 90s, I flew under the radar of what needing help looks like. I failed out of university after freshman year. I’ve had a diagnosis for combined-type ADHD since my late 20s and began seeking treatment even earlier than that, but no matter what I do, I can’t get access to a medication that might help me. Just in my last city before we moved, I saw my regular doctor, was referred to a therapist in order to move on to someone able to prescribe, and saw that therapist as required–only to be told that the prescribing doctor wasn’t comfortable treating me and I would need to find an entirely new healthcare group if I really wanted help.
It’s also been now partially approved for CFS too just fyi
ah i know this is obvious advice but like: dont let your friends vaguepost about you. its disrespectful and passive aggressive and makes it a lot harder to facilitate safe discussions. also dont vaguepost about your friends thats childish
its! 2019! its time to leave childish behavior behind!! you dont need to be dropping hints like your the fucking riddler tryna one up batman just move on and be clear about your intentions!!!!!
