First time I was prescribed Adderall, the feeling I had was that I was playing life on Hard Mode for absolutely no reason. I felt normal for the first time ever my life.
First time I took Adderall, I was leaving to take my kids to daycare and then go to work. I wasn’t going to be late, but I wasn’t going to be early either.
I open the garage door, ready to put my baby in her carseat and my dog is in the driveway.
Without Adderall, my emotions would have gone haywire bc my plan was going awry and I basically would have been useless for the next 2-3 hours.
With Adderall, I put the dog back in the yard, carried on with getting everyone where they needed to be and my day wasn’t ruined.
It was surreal - the whole day I kept asking myself, “Is that what it’s like to be normal?”
But hey, call it “tweaking” if that helps you sleep at night.
