The dexamphetamine, if you have ADHD, you know what it is.

If not, it's basically just a little bit of speed, you know.

It makes you not hungry and makes you focused and your brain more normal.

But I think my mental health has also been fucked by not taking Dexys because I haven't had them really for a few months now.

And I was so anxious this morning and I was like –

oh, I know if I should have a Dexie today, like I've got the podcast, but I don't know.

You know, I was like, I don't know what, what's, if it's going to help or not help.

And then I remembered that when I first got my script for my dexamphetamine, the biggest thing that I would say to everyone was that it helped my anxiety.

And I think what it is, is that I'm currently just

because I'm in this sensitive nervous system space, I'm getting overstimulated really fucking easily.

Like that sensory thing you said before.

I think I'm like, my brain is already like a sponge and vulnerable to every, every stimulation.

Any input at all that I,

it's overwhelming my entire body and my mind every time I get anything new in there.

And I, I just want to remind you all of the importance of taking your medication essentially, because it's,

I took on this morning and I don't feel – I'm not fixed.

It's not like a magic pill but I do feel way less like – like I've been feeling like I'm on the verge of panic attack for like a week and the week before that was me sleeping all day, like sleeping all day.

And I don't think people who haven't been through depression like that –

understand what that's like because it isn't an enjoyable sleep.

It's a trauma sleep.
