I took my health potion today. It’s all good
To anyone reading negative stuff about taking medications;
If you need it, you need it. You are the one waking up every day and living your life. You and your doctor will know you infinitely better than random grumpy people online.
Anyone who expects you to struggle is not someone with your best interests in mind. They are not people you should listen to. Don’t make your life worse just because someone said to.
Personally, I don’t even engage with those types of people. They can have a say when it’s their life and their body.
I swear, most of the people who are against anyone taking adhd meds seem to be “educated” by Facebook smh.
The title and comments are super toxic.
Mental health disorders are serious issues. You owe it to yourself to explore and utilize all treatment options available. Refusing to take medications out of some weird sense of pride isn’t funny, it’s self destructive.
thanks for this comment. its a common problem. I needed to literally have my partner encourage me for almost a year to finally see a psychiatrist to get treated. better living through chemistry, give yourself the conditions you need to thrive and take care of yourself/your loved ones. nobody is going to see you treading water and go “ah, so tough and brave to be doing that”. grab a floaty!
Well, I wasn’t trying to be toxic as a person with diagnosed ADHD myself, simply sharing that my brain thinks it can “beat” it by not resorting to any help( meds in this case) , which is why I used that analogy because it’s similar to games, I do not recommend on skipping on help tho medicine exist for a reason, you are not alone and you don’t have to fight it alone either.
It’s not only you though. The top comment is talking about how they only take medication when they REALLY need it.
Like I get you build up a tolerance but it’s possible to take ADHD meds on a semi consistent basis. Plus Wellbutrin/Effexor/Starters/Qelbree are at the very least better than nothing.
I don’t like her.
Saving the meds for the boss fight
