Nah, I’m more of a biological sciences dude and sorta deal with math as required… but I’m hella quick on the Googles, and I understood your reference so 🤷♂️ here we are! lol
Do a screening for ADHD. It’s often masked by high intellect so it doesn’t get picked up but it causes all manner of issues. Substance abuse is very common, as is poor rates of employment/high turnover of jobs. Stimulant medication can be a lifesaver if that’s the problem. Definitely worth ruling it out.
I almost certainly have ADHD, but I've been labeled a drug-seeker. Can't even get pain meds when clearly in pain. Low doses of illicit amphetamines just make me act like a normal person.
Ah for fuck’s sake. So much ignorance 😭 You’re drug seeking because you have unmedicated ADHD and you NEED something to fix that. Let’s think, should you self medicate with uncontrolled doses and/or unregulated medications/drugs that are not fit for purpose or should you be prescribed the appropriate medication by a licensed specialist? Makes me so angry.
100% this. I used to do crack, because I couldn't get amphetamines, and it helped a little, but I gave it up because I couldn't control myself and it was expensive. Controlled doses of something helpful would be much better.
I can't make much sense of your comment and I'm not sure if that's your fault or mine, but: too late. It'd take a miracle for me to survive to next year, and I'm an atheist...
Probably my fault hope ur doing good cause I'm not in any sort of measure but if ur looking for a job try any trade being hands on with work gives meaning when there is none
If you’re in the UK it’s definitely worth looking into ‘Right to Choose’ to see if you can get a diagnosis. I think you can find a list of the wait times for different providers and ask your GP to refer you to one with a short waiting list. There are letters on the RTC website to help you request it from your GP.
