The lighter side of ADHD
well at least this person suggests a doctor, some will reference a YouTube video where an influencer talks about gut supplements that will completely cure any mental health issues, cancer, diabetes and coronary heart diseases linked to genetic factors
“Well, Richard. You mind if I call you Richard? Well, Dick. Sometimes the doctor prescribes this for me.”
Tell HR. Fuck 'em. No tolerance for ableism.
HR is the office cop.
NEVER talk to American cops.
My HR and I have a wordless dirty look relationship.
I'm not letting my coworkers discriminate against me.
Calm your shit dude. Don't go to HR over something this small.
Just punch his dad in the cock.
I vote, seduce their mum, and bang the shit out of her! Then ask the coworker, who's your daddy?
"Oh this? It helps me focus on minding my own fucking business."
Ooh, pithy, I like this
Never tell people you take adderall. They'll ask you for adderall to get high.
(this advice does not apply if you want to sell adderall)
Well obviously
Soooo...do you have any Adderall?
Or launch into a tirade about how it's fake and doesn't do anything and be reeeeally fucking insistent on it
Or accuse you of selling drugs
The worst is trying to explain at how necessary the medication is. Having to explain that I cannot work without it
See a doctor
Done.
Don't take drugs.
But... the doctor said...
Why are you listening to doctors?
But... you said...
I've had someone tell me with a straight face that I'm "basically taking meth".
This is the same kind of person that says "American cheese slices are one molecule away from being plastic!"
Even if meth was chemically identical to ADHD meds, the argument still wouldn't hold. Anything that lessens people's symptoms without creating even more problems can be a medication.
I like to pour them a glass of peroxide and tell them to drink it. It's basically water. Literally just a molecule away from being water bro. Drink it bro, cmon! It's just a molecule!
It's actually just one atom away!
Lmao I knew that and yet my brain decided "it's a whole-ass molecule today!"
Since you didn't specify hydrogen peroxide, technically FOOF is a peroxide. And FOOF is a molecule away from being water.
OK fair haha
I mean, you technically sort of are taking meth in a way, but that's because you need it since you react differently to it.
I mean, there's nothing wrong with someone with severe physical trauma being given fentanyl for example.
There’s nothing wrong with anyone taking fentanyl for any reason. There’s nothing wrong with anyone taking any drug for any reason. The only issues are things like how, where, when, etc. Anyone opposed to the full and complete legalization of all drugs should be executed.
you technically sort of are taking meth in a way
You are 100% NOT taking meth when you take ADHD stims. The only thing linking the two is the core ingredient which is a methyl-5 molecule, which your body makes on its own.
The drug meth is a synthetic methyl-5 compound with a ton of other nasty crap in it that doesn't exist in ADHD medication.
Like I said, whoever says that is in the same group as the American cheese is almost plastic crowd.

No, the thing linking the 2 is the amphetamine part. Which is the actual stimulant.
The drug meth is actually just methamphetamine - there's no "nasty crap" in it unless the person synthesizing it doesn't refine and purify it well, which is true of basically all chemistry.
A more apt comparison is a strong beer and wine - both technically different things, but both get you drink because of the alcohol ingredient in them. They're both alcoholic drinks.
Same with amphetamines - both are stimulants that have essentially the same effect. That's specifically why they both work in treating ADHD. The only significant difference is one is legal (with a prescription) and the other isn't, which of course means good luck getting it really pure and at the correct dosage. The only other difference is how fast acting / long lasting they are because of that tail molecule, but the part that has an actual effect on people is the amphetamine part.
