one of my fave phenomenons that i see semi-frequently in people newly diagnosed with ADHD is worries about Faking It, which happens with basically every physical and mental disorder, except with ADHD i'll see people specifically be like. "i took my first dose of adderall eight hours ago and i didn't really feel anything and i didn't do much at all and i'm not sure it works, maybe i actually DON'T have ADHD or executive dysfunction and made it all up to excuse my laziness??"

and i'm like. babe. dude. my guy babygirl broski pal please . please listen to me. if you did take adderall while not having ADHD. You Would Know About It Very Very Very Quickly .

#tbt when i said 'it just makes things easier doesnt it?' and a friend without ADHD was like uh. it makes me feel like i'm on meth #she was so sweetly like no kitkat people dont take adderall recreationally to make things easier.#like they DO take it when they have stuff they wanna get done & do get that stuff done. but it Dont Feel Like It Do For Ppl With ADHD #writing this in a parking lot bc im so profoundly adhd today i had to pull over so i can get a monster energy and let it kick in #my driving is bad and i dont have adderall at the moment. desperate times etc #edited tags to protect friend's identifying info just in case. but GOD
