i tend to be a bit of a yapper, very loud (theres an interesting reverse-masking thing going on there, which if anyones interested, lmk and ill explain) and tend to be quite rude.
really inside, im a quiet person, but i tend to impulsively speak and be loud, and say things i dont really want to say, e.g. being rude.
these are things i really want to deal with. when i talk less, and be quieter like i am inside, i tend to be much happier. does anyone have any tips?
Oh, man, no. Meds merely help you to manage the impulses.
Parents that deny their kids meds (in ignorance) really piss me off.
I’m probably your grandparents age, I’ve seen this nonsense a lot in my own family.
Meds are like crutches when you have a cast on - they help you with impulse control so you then have brain cycles to dedicare to learning new ways of thinking/processing.
yeah they sound really good, i struggle with pills for a few reasons but those reasons would be worth getting over imo, but i dont even get the chance
I have a friend who got diagnosed with ADHD and first received meds as an adult. They are definitely 100 % themselves and at the same time better functioning than before. Talk with your parents (or directly with your doctor). You will always start with a low dose with regular checkups. Have an honest conversation with yourself, your parents and your doctor about what you really are afraid of and if the risk has any basis in reality.
my parents just wont let me anyway :/ im trying to consider alternatives until im old enough to make the decision myself
