Me: Okay, my hormones are all over the place, I’m emotional, exhausted and hate myself more than usual. Which one of you is it
ADHD is so silly because you can think about wanting to do something for like 2 weeks but nothing happens then all of a sudden you’re chilling and minding your own business and you get a freaking Inspiration Jumpscare

informed consent for medication needs to include interactions with common recreational drugs, i think
most meds these days will only tell you ‘limit alcohol’ and wont even make a mention of weed (though if this is different in places that have legalised it i’d be interested to know). and they never tell you specifically why you should limit alcohol and thats something everyone should have the right to know
because i was terrified as a teen getting on the meds im on now, thinking i would never be able to drink and that i had to forgo taking my meds for the day if i did. then i learned that all my meds did was to increase the effects of alcohol and that the ‘limit alcohol’ warning in that case was more just a ‘you will get drunk faster than you are used to’
but in other cases, such as with some antibiotics, the ‘limit alcohol’ means ‘if you drink more than a little, this medication will stop working’
and some meds are actively dangerous when taken with alcohol/other drugs, putting you at risk of getting very sick or just dead
but every single time all you get is that little label saying ‘limit alcohol’
anyway, i will once again shamelessly promote my favourite harm reduction website in the whole world, the drugs.com interactions checker. standard boilerplate applies that ‘this isnt a substitute for medical advice from a professional’ but its sure as fuck better than nothing
Do you expect any good thing coming to you soon
No, but I will chase it down and grab it if I have to. No more waiting

"everybody experiences that" says mother who has the same symptom of the same mental illness
i honestly don’t know how this happened but somewhere between my childhood and formative years i forgot how to exist like a normal person and started to either overthink everything or make disastrous choices without any proper thinking at all. no middle ground whatsoever
