Mine put me on Stratterra because she specifically said some stimulants can mess with artists, so she wanted to try that. It worked really well up until I had to stop taking it for a bit, then when I tried again, it caused the WORST heartburn so I had to stop. But it helped a lot for awhile!
This was drawn at a bit of a low point; I’m happy to announce that this did, in fact, inspire me to take care of myself a bit better. I’ve upgraded from one meal a day to two and have cut down on the caffeine a bit. Hell yeah ✨❤️
Don’t get me wrong; Stimulants are fine! They help a lot of people, I’m one of them! That’s often part of the package with ADHD. It becomes unhealthy when that’s all you put in your body until it gets mad at you for not feeding it. Please eat! (Talking to myself too)
Reality is that many of us are conditioned to be like this had then told off for not being self caring enough (while having been pushed to extremes in the first place)
To be clear still doesn't mean this is healthy just that I feel like we are so inclined to blame ourselves for this when that shame is poorly utilized to actually help us
Ugh, had like a week of this transpiring before I realized it, was AWFUL for my health. It took a solid two weeks to feel better afterward. As it turns out, I can't get away with this anymore since I have had no T in my body for a few years. The margins are so much slimmer now.
I’m a writer and I can relate to this post. I tell my self, “Just one more chapter and then I’m have breakfast.”
At around 11 pm, I look at the time, I turn the clock around, eat a ham cheese sandwich, and face my computer again.
