Good evening my dears~ I hope you're doing alright tonight!

Five days ago I had run out of my Adderal medication and I'm just handling the withdrawals. Because telemedicine cannot prescribe Adderal over the phone, I see my primary to refill prescriptions, but It's costly. Around $150 to be seen and $39 for medication. Beyond that, I feel angry towards any notion of being addicted to something. And so...I'm going to speak with my telemedicine psychiatrist tomorrow and see if there are any possible non-stim medications.

And so today I reflected on and wanted to have an honest conversation about, well, my experiences with ADHD.

is this another artificial shortage?

I would never think that of artists and other content creators, they give their time, mind, and creativity freely. I also understand that feeling of being a failure. I'm read writing a book right now and feel terrible if I don't write for a day or two and I don't have an audience waiting for a new page. If I did I'd never unwind and the stress would probably kill me.

I admire your honesty and know I'm not the only one. That's why I can confidently say many people here care for you. Also, whether you're making really silly art or more down-to-earth moments like this, everyone will love it. Even if the art flow may slow some days, that's fine. We can wait. Thanks for what you do, and I hope things get better for you.

Oof. The feels here... I wasn't diagnosed until I was *31* and working at Apple in Cupertino back in the early nineties. There I was, literally working someplace I had always dreamed of being (and it vastly exceeded my expectations, especially after Jobs returned) and... all of the above, pretty much. Ironically it was an article about another Apple employee that had someone go "Hey... isn't this describing YOU??"; within the next few weeks I received pings from two other completely different sources that weren't even in. contact with one another saying... well, pretty such the same thing. Diagnosis, meds, therapy... yeah they helped. But some shit is too ingrained, and I had several decades of programming (ah yes, if I only had the WILL POWER I could be just like everyone else who seemed to find things so much easier than I) to overcome. And then recently (early last year) someone pointed out what wasn't explained by the ADHD was covered by... autism. [facepalm] Yeah, being open and honest about it can blow back on oneself... but if we're ever to feel acceptance and understanding, we have to be honest with ourselves, and being open and talking about it forces us to be honest with everyone around us. In my view if people can't accept that this is a real thing, that somehow it's a a personal failing? Those are the people who are the most toxic to us anyhow. Kudos. Oh, and know you're one of my most consistent and prolific Patreons I have ever supported; I understand that might not always be the first thing you think of when it gets dark AF inside, but hopefully that will spark when you need it the most.

funny thing about ADHD, they call it a disorder, but its far more likely to just be a remnant of the Hunter-part of the whole Hunter-Gatherer society. We live in a Farmer's world, a gatherer's world, where everything is about patience and staying on a routine, there is no time for dynamic thinking, to spontaneously switch plans and do something else far more efficiently, simply because its different, you need to stay on that exact same task, even if it is against your nature. Whats important is to realize that, no matter how scatterbrained you are you still ARE contributing to this ill-fitting world, you still are an adult. Don't look at it as a hindrance, look at it with pride, feel pride at the fact that you can live your life, at least at times, as close to your true nature as you can. https://x.com/ReviewsPossum/status/1709794522517864891/photo/1
