Using the word "neurodivergent" to excuse using and abusing drugs.
I knew plenty of neurodivergent people and people with diagnosed autism.
None of them act like meth addicts.
(Some kids have that high energy but not adults. And the kids don't have the other mania symptoms.)
Not a single one.
Grandiose thinking, extreme elated mood, and high energy (aka, mania) is a symptom of bipolar 2 disorder. But also is a common effect of stimulant drugs like speed, PCP, cocaine, meth. Whatever else is out there.
If you have biopolar2 and do stimulants you get double the mania effects.
Classic mania.
Drugs.
They might be neurodivergent too.
But that's not what causes the mania.
I know what you're thinking. You probably look at each of them and think, wow this guy really looks like he's got his shit together. /s
Too much money.
No therapy bc they're "too strong and masculine."
Probably drugs.
As long as it's self medication to help them cope with life though, it qualifies as biohacking smart-therapy but not as drugs.
Drugs are only for poor people in jail or weak minded NPCs who sought medical help for a medical problem, received a medical diagnosis, and were prescribed medication by a medical doctor instead of an internet ordained shaman.
I definitely don't think he's got his shit together.
I think he was born rich and exploits people and that's why he is even more rich now.
Self medicating can still be drug addiction.
Actually that's almost always how it works.
Alcoholics self medicate.
Honestly can't tell if you were being sarcastic or not. Can you clarify ?
Yes, I was just trying to make a joke. I don't think anybody would believe they have their shit together
-i don't think anyone would believe....
Wish I was as optimistic as you. 😅
Good point.
I guess it would be more accurate to say that if I thought somebody really believed these people had their shit together, l would probably just not bother with a discussion about it.
