Addies

For years, I held the belief that I could not function at a normal level unless I was on aderall. Then, one day, the aderall ran out. There was a national shortage, and I could not refill my prescription. Turns out, not only was I able to work an eight hour shift, but I was even able to work overtime. I had been underestimating my own capabilities for years.

It was such a process to get aderall, even with a prescription. I had to call two different places multiple times to refill my it, so when I realized I didn’t need it, I was like, okay. No more of this stuff. It is actually addictive, which is probably why I stayed on it for so long.

Without it, my self worth actually increased. This was because I no longer needed to depend on anything to function. Well, I don’t think I ever really needed it, except maybe in college. This realization has boosted my self esteem to an unimaginable extent.
