So I got off and I have not been on any ADHD meds since it felt like such a huge deal when I was a kid because I was always in trouble.

And now that I'm like older it is feel more common, like less stigmatized than when I was younger.

It's fun.

Are you on meds?

How long have you been on meds?

Oh yeah.

I think that is like super, super common where people assume if I change nothing, take the pill, then that's it.

I think that's kind of like what they sell it as to, as like the magic pill.

Yeah.

But I was thinking so much towards the end where I would set an alarm, take my pill, go back to sleep, and then it would wake me up.

It's so interesting.

I think people like don't understand to be on a stimulant when you have ADHD.

There's a lot of things working with somebody who has this way of thinking on medication as an adult.

Yeah, I barely really understood it in my adulthood.

Do you have days where you don't take it?

That's the way to do it.

For sure.

I decided I didn't want to be on medication anymore.

And that is when I figured out that I needed to actually go into figuring out how my brain works.

For me, I was able to like get by on a long time with just taking the medication, being in school, chain smoking, getting through it.
