Quickly popping back in after learning more about stimulants (what my ADHD medication was) ( @AnOmoriFanatic )
I take AP Psych and we covered drugs. As some of you may know Cocaine and Methamphetamine are also stimulants, just like Vyvanse. Turns out, the Vyvanse had the same effect on me as a long-term Cocaine AND Meth user. Changes in personality, fast heart rate, excessive sweating, general aggression and irritability, overconfidence and a SEVERE amount of self-centeredness, unhealthy hyperfocus, the feeling of being able to do anything, yet not being motivated
While how I acted still hurt people, it’s now very clear to me that it was NOT my fault. I was an 11-12 year old put on and forced to take medication that caused me to act like I did, especially since I had to take a LARGE dose all at once EVERY day.
Frustration with me and any dislike is warranted and expected, but with this new knowledge, I can’t act like I was at complete fault.
At the time, I was struggling severely with bullying, isolation, SH, and su1c1d3. By then, my clinical depression was at its worst, and all of that was mixed with WAY too much of a stimulant that had the behavioral and physical effects of Cocaine and Methamphetamines as well as unrestricted access to the internet.
Again, I am very sorry that I hurt everyone that I did, but I was a child severely under the influence of drugs with EXTREMELY horrible mental health. I’ve changed a lot regardless.
Thank you all for being my friends, I’m thankful for all of you, but as I said, I don’t ever want to return here again.
