I feel you, but yet again you need to take pills. I don’t have adhd, that I know of, so I might sound stupid. But, what if instead of taking medication, there would be jobs/functions that actually play into your adhd. Again I’m probaly sounding ignorant. Is the condition the problem, or is the lack of environments that can utilize adhd the problem? Is adhd actually a defunct? Or have we been conditioned to think that because of rigid structures? I like to think of Waldof Schools as an environment where one with adhd could thrive better than in traditional schools. I’d rather find a fitting environment than relying on drugging people up. Reality is not that simple tho…just food for thought.
I understand what you mean, but like… Imagine a pill that lets you feel like a person. That’s vyvanse (lisdexamphetamine) for me. My psychiatrist advised me against taking it every day to avoid building up a tolerance, so I don’t take it on the weekends and I hate it because I want to feel like a person all the time, not just to get work done. Like yes the world can be more accommodating to to adhd but medicine that makes you feel better isn’t something you need to seek to avoid. t’s kind of like saying “wow it sucks to have to use crutches to get around on my broken leg” so you just toss them away and limp painfully around on it. Like sure it sucks that you need em but having them is immensely preferable. It’s not a perfect solution, it has aide effects, but it’s like it regrows the mental equivalent of a limb for me.
