Going through University and working in tech has been extremely hard for me. I'm terrible at it. Sure, I can come up with an algorithm, I can write code, but something about doing mental work is extremely laborious to me. I spend 30 minutes panicking before I can even open an email.

This past year I took a break and went to work with my Arborist friend as a groundsman. Do I still have ADD? Probably? I can't tell. None of those ADD issues come up unless I'm working on a computer. The tree business has been going well and the work has expanded into all kinds of new opportunities. I don't think I'm going back. Especially if medication is necessary for me to succeed.

You are correct. I messed that up bad and forgot how dimensions worked.

Our neighbor started doing this with my dad. My dad was a school teacher and didn't have any sort of content to plagiarize. The man started buying the same clothing as my father, the same surfboard, same car, dyed his hair the same color and got the same haircut, got fake glasses in the same style and even started copying his mannerisms. It was bizarre. We moved shortly after it started for unrelated reasons but it was pretty terrifying as a young kid.

Interestingly enough, he was a PHD student.

Ah, I was not aware of this.

My grandfather on my moms side smoked weed,ran marathons, kept his faculty position at the University, and took up new hobbies, up until the Alzheimers went to far to do any of that. My grandfather on my dads side lead a similar lifestyle (minus the the weed smoking) and ended up in the same situation. Studies are always coming out saying that these things are all helpful, but at the end of the day how long do you get to live and can you really beat your genes?

I don't even know how you would notice if you had ADD while working construction or some other manual labour job. While performing office work makes everyone feel like they have ADD if they aren't performing as they expect themselves too.

Very good point. I'm 30, check reddit/instagram/FB more than I ever did in college, yet I'm more more disciplined during my work and study than I was in college.

It is already vulnerable list and if stopped being illegal it would be endangered in months. Synthetic mescaline is already a thing.

Paraphrasing only works when it captures the essence of what is being said.

> I don't feel strung out nor is it some addiction. Ignore the people screaming about Adderall being "literal meth" and how it will certainly kill you. Even with an addictive personality, it's very easy to avoid over-doing it (hint: only take it as prescribed).

Low dose meth does work pretty similar to Adderall. Everyone who does meth does not become a meth addict. Most don't. But the people who become meth addicts are the same people who end up using adderall like methheads.

Which is why I personally don't have an Adderall prescription. Because if I have a bottle of Adderall I'm going to attempt a prescribed dose on day one and start snorting it by day three.

The biggest /b/tard I knew growing up now works at a bank and actually has had multiple large windfalls from bitcoin,TSLA stocks and Pokemon cards.
