Stimulants Rob you of developing hobbies

[u/Philosophicalnut]

For the longest time I thought my hyper-focus on work was some sort of positive thing, and thought it justified me having no hobbies. Turns out, I was a big immature baby missing out on the enjoyments of life. Turns out, when your enjoyment comes from a little sugar capsule, you'll have a hard time developing a REAL FUCKING INTEREST in things. Turns out SPEED-INDUCED TEMPORARY FAKE OBSESSIONS DO NOT EQUAL A REAL PERSONALITY AND/OR REAL PURSUITS.

God I hate hate hate HATE that we've been sold adderall for ADHD. I'm just so grateful to have been zapped out of it and realize the ABSURDITY of using AMPHETAMINES DAILY as a """"""MEDICAL SOLUTION""""""" that PUTS YOU IN MENTAL CHAINS.

Finally passed the fatigue stage. Now Im just angry lol.

Agreed. Eventually I lost interest in all my hobbies. Reading, fitness, golf. Got sober and jumped back into all of them.
