Before my dx, I was drowning in grad school despite my love for the work. I had a complex system of organization to sub for exec fn; it crumbled under grad school loads.

I can’t explain to you the relief I felt with stimulant meds. I could work. I could do normal life tasks. Still slower than NTs.
Stimulants make it possible for me to do my job. They also make it possible to brush my teeth and eat on a regular schedule, and help keep me from making boneheaded financial decisions.

MANY of the people I love most are likely alive thanks to SSRIs and mood stabilizers.
