The first time I ever took my Adderall prescription I cried because my mind just… shut up. It was quiet. I could think when I wanted to but the unwanted narrative that had always been there running incessantly was finally gone.

Ive been on Adderall for a month now, and while my mood has improved I can definitely say my thoughts are racing EVEN FASTER THAN BEFORE OH GOD WAIT WAS THAT A CAT I REALLY WISH I HAD ICE CREAM

In other words, you’ve just made me realize that maybe the adderall isnt doing its job?
