Hey, you finally found me! :) My purpose for this channel is to help at least one person feel less alone in their journey while documenting my own journey.
I know firsthand what it feels like to have every intention of wanting to improve, but you can’t help but feel inhibited. Whether you're dealing with mental health or comparing yourself to others on social media, no matter how much we want to change it is easier said than done.
But I am here to motivate you to take just one step, even if that’s simply waking up in the morning to show up for yourself. You’re not doing this alone. I love you and WE got this!
This stuff is pretty easy for me to quit just a week of sleepiness and maybe some sadness but by day 7 I am good to go quitting kratom was a monster though that was months and months and unalive attempts and I still owe the hospital $500 damn it 😑
I'm just a stranger but I feel so proud of you. You're being so strong. I know how hard it is. I've been clean from it for 4 years and I can tell you that this is the best thing for you to be doing, especially at your age when your brain will bounce back more quickly. Your intuition is right. It's a destructive drug. Things will get better, even 4 years later I'm still getting better but I dont regret it, everything does happen for a reason ❤ Edit: just saw that this is 2 years old!! Hope youre doing well :)
With me I take it for fatigue, but I started getting raynauds and swollen hands in the mornings - I have to take a break to see if it’s the adderall for two weeks. Did you take any nootropics or did you start drinking a lot of coffee? I also am very active in the gym and would hate to gain weight
Hi, is it possible for you to share the name or website of the therapist who helped you? I need help and having a hard time finding someone to help and support me
Thank you for sharing this. I don’t even recognize myself anymore and have been wanting to quit but I have a lot of anxiety around it. I need to just take the plunge
Sending you my positivity and prayers! I know it may never seem like a perfect time, because there will never be the right time. However, if you're able to take off time from the obligations that give you anxiety (like your job, school) that would help tremendously to start. Hope that helps! 🤍
Everytime I watch one of your videos I can relate to you so much! Other than you are confident and very well spoken. There is so much I want to say but Im going to try avoid writing an essay. Here are some things that I would like to hear more about…. 1. How do you “hone in” your energy to more benefit your way of life and organize your thoughts? 2. How have you handled procrastination and self sabotage? 3. What is your advice on how to have more follow through with goals without putting too much pressure on yourself? 4. How do you motivate yourself to do things you need and want to do? 5. Do you have any advice on how to build more self discipline with habit changes? I know this was a lot so please don’t feel pressured to answer them all. I appreciate your advice and your honesty! Not add recovery related but… Have a wonderful trip to the Philippines!!
I am so grateful I came across your video. You literally said exactly what I am also experiencing and going through! Especially the blonde hair thing and spiritual aspect. Thank you for your video! Keep it up!! 💚💫🩷💪🏼
I think it is way easier than people make it out to be. The problem is within a person's mindset and the incessant overthinking. Just lean into your conviction and quit negotiating with yourself. Start with just a few days off or a very low dose. Look into ginseng, ginko and other natural serotonin boosters. Figure out alternate ways to unlock serotonin and dopamine. I might sound a bit blunt but most people don't evolve through compassion. It's the compression that moves the dial. Good luck and in the end remember it will always be ok, one way or the other.
You are super strong for posting this and sharing your truth. About to get off myself and you among a few others here on RU-vid have given me confidence in the possibility of life after. Appreciate you and hope you are stil doing well on your journey!
I appreciate your support! If I can do it, you MOST CERTAINLY can do it too. No matter what...KEEP GOING! You're already doing amazing, friend. Proud of you!! 🫶✨
Thank you for this video.im on day 3 without my meds i try a refill soon and i think i have to try to ween off of it. I feel so discombobulated and I've cried several times. It's so hard and im sleepy and so fatigued. Im trying to hang in there. Thank you.
Focus on getting at least one percent better each day, you did the hard part by setting the intention and deciding different for yourself. Proud of you and no matter what..KEEP GOING FRIEND! 🫶✨
Hey! I was on vyvanse, but vyvanse is basically the same drug as adderall, only difference is the active ingredient is Lisdexamfetamine lol so I use the terms interchangeably:)
The bad sleep might just be an adhd thing. I didn’t start adderall until after I graduated from Uni because I couldn’t handle oversleeping the rest of my life. Thank you for sharing this. As someone unsure about meds, I can’t tell you how helpful your insights are
I'm adhd, I just recently started Adderall and I like how it feels but I worry about what it could do to my heart. I'm 32, and up until 2 weeks ago. I took nothing to manage the adhd, and now, I feel that I just need to be taught tools to help work around my adhd. I like how I can focus but I don't want to live with sode effects for the rest of my life. I'm a singer and the dry throat isn't working for me. I was also prescribed prosac and the side effects are the same. The only pro of the side effects are the weight loss, but now I'm worried about not eating enough and if that's prolonged, malnutrition could be a possibility. Where I struggle is I want to encompass that focused energy, but not take a damn pill to do so. And with the prosac, it's for anxiety. But I can learn methods to help cope, so it's like.... I feel like I'm having meds be thrown my way instead of trying to get my hands dirty and actually work. Now I wanted to try Adderall, and I'm glad I did, but I simply don't think it's worth the potential future health issues.
Hey! I'm so glad you're self aware of your situation. I also had my intuition tell me that maybe a pill wasn't the best thing and there ARE ways on getting that tapped in focus you get on adderall without the medication. I know especially once you start taking it you may feel like there is no other way to feel this way, but sooner you realize there are other ways the better, because it is MUCH harder to quit the longer you are on it. However, I am not a doctor and at the end of the day you know your body best and some people do need this. But if there is a part of you that feels like you can be successful without it, listen to that voice. Proud of you regardless! 💛✨
Started it about 3 weeks ago, instantly took away my craving for opiates and helps tremendous with my ADHD. But makes me feel very anxious and dry mouth, i dont really like the feeling it gives me but thats much better then getting addicted. I already use less then prescribed now and way less side effects then Ritalin.
I just dont know why im having flashbacks right now i been off for a week i get the drowsy tiredness im just getting weird deja vu moments tripping me out
Omg I’m in shock you said the thing about not being able to attract your person on adderall because I felt the exact same thing towards the end of being on it. This little voice in my head would say you won’t find your person until you’re sober
Thank you for making this video! I’m going through the same thing right now for the second time just like you and the first time I gained almost 50 pounds and a huge reason I was scared to quit again was weight gain. But I’m trying to be better this time around and not let myself go and eat healthy foods and keep exercising. Thank you for being so vulnerable and making this
Thank you for your honesty. Im 2 months in and im still tired and overweight. Im exersizing, but im still exhausted and unmotivated to do anything. ... anyone please let me know how long until I feel like myself before I ever started?
Hey! I feel you! That is normal to feel that way and honestly it did take me awhile to feel like myself again but you have to trust that there is a light at the end of the tunnel...because THERE IS. Once you start to feel like yourself without the medication you will not want to go back. Everyone's timeline is different but it most likely won't be overnight. In the meantime count your small wins, if you were able to just make your bed this morning or go for a walk without the meds you're already on the right track! Be patient friend, but you're doing GREAT! Keep going! 🫶✨
