You will dial it in. Try not taking it 7 days a week. Take a day off. It really does help. Resets your shit. Like doing a hard boot.

I hear that, I lean on weed to slow me down. The situation typically dictates how much I try to slow down.

This is the crux. There are tools available to make your life better. It’s an ugly road, but worth the trip, for me anyway. I hesitate to think where I’d be without drugs.

Yeah before I got diagnosed I for sure leaned on weed and also caffeine funnily enough… I used to drink 3 cups of coffee a day and usually take 2 caffiene pills as well
People dont say it but man I almost fiend as hard for caffiene as I did when I used to chug those nose beers…

Nose beers were fun, I’m too old for those now.
On realy busy days I’ll drink a whole pot of coffee sometimes. And that just catches up after a bit.

Oh hell no. I won’t even smoke weed most of the time if I don’t know who grew it.

It works better if you limit your caffeine. My experience. I only use caffeine 50Mg. 2-3 times a week before working out. One tea bag of Yogi Blackberry Spice focus.

Mrs Foreigner has many of these. But as mentioned, when working, it can be a super power.
It’s more prevalent than we think, I think. People are supposed to fit into nice neat little boxes. Only we don’t.

I excelled in sales and marketing sales closing because of it.

I excelled in my field because I could do it with extreme intensity and then take a 3 hour break if necessary. Or work 12 straight hours if I felt like it and couldn’t sleep. I look back on it now and it was very unhealthy. Fun though.
Drugs killed that, but it was worth it.

This person has a fear of drugs/medication and has allergies, if this is the case it will be difficult
2 Likes
Yes agreed. Allergies can be lethal. Side effects can be worse than symptoms. But, in my case, sticking through all the challenges was worth it. But again these are decisions one needs to make for themselves and while my existence may sound like an advocation for psych drugs, it’s not. It’s not my decision to take away.
