#for a ND person being able to temporarily be productive and function IS euphoria

[magioffire]

remember when i thought i didnt have adhd because when i took adhd meds i thought i was ‘getting high’ off of it and always heard that if you ‘got high’ off adhd meds it meant you definitely didnt have adhd

well that feeling of ‘getting high’ was actually me misinterpreting the euphoria of finally having a more normalish brain function and being able to be productive as a euphoric effect of amphetamine and not the functional level everyone without adhd normally exists at all the time lol.

#LOL??? #this is why the 'if you get high off adhd meds youre not adhd' is kinda...not true? #because getting high is very subjective but also #for a ND person being able to temporarily be productive and function IS euphoria #it IS like a high #so maybe a better way of putting is #'if you have adhd it just wont effect you the same way as someone without adhd' #instead of 'any feelings of pleasure you get from the medicine are cuz you dont actually have the disorder and are probs just a dirty junkie #cuz you know....we have a very pleasure-adverse culture thanks to puritanical values but thats a ted talk for ANOTHER DAY #ooc. #tbd. #drugs cw #its kinda like how for someone with chronic pain the pain relief they get from pain meds IS the eurphoria #not any of the actual narcotic effects someone might get from pain meds #people without chronic illness just wouldnt get it sorry #cuz im over here like HM. im not getting any of usual side effects that would go with someone who doesnt have adhd taking adderall #i can eat and sleep perfectly normally #uhh #whoops
