I commonly read youtube comments that state a drug like Strattera completely changed their adhd for the better.

Whilst I havnt tried this(yet) I wondered what other options exist?

In order:

  1. DIAGNOSIS. Just understanding why my brain did what it did helped at least curb some of the worse negative feelings and thoughts, and got those around me to better understand and help

  2. Mushrooms. Mixed with therapy and diagnosis these are a really good way to completely re-attune yourself after years of not understanding or having control. Do them responsibly with someone you can trust if it's your first time

  3. Meds. Adderall was the first I tried and it really works well for me. Basically restores my ability to control my thoughts to some degree. The rest of fixing me is on me, these just enable it at all

Welp, guess it's time for me to start doing shrooms again

Not just blindly doing them, like I said they open you up and help get over hurdles that otherwise make the journey almost impossible (at least for me)

Read up and have a guide ready for yourself, ideally someone else to help you out with it, someone you can trust and be unbelievably vulnerable in front of

Micro dosing can also just help if you're not on meds. Not a perfect replacement imo but it DID help

I've done them before when I was struggling with anxiety. I stopped once I felt like they didn't serve a purpose anymore.

Shrooms are more of a tool than a fun drug.

However, they are fun as fuck.
