The Day I Started Living

The day I started living was the day I took my first dose of 10mg Adderall. I was terrified to try it, but what happened after is nothing short of a miracle.

I am a 36 years old female who has had the diagnosis of depression/anxiety since high school. I always felt different/bit odd compared to my peers.

Things for me just seemed harder. In my adult life after college, even with medication adjustments, I still felt off. Not depressed, just lacked motivation. Not anxious, just overwhelmed easily by even the most basic things.

I had labs done to make sure no medical reason for me to lay in bed all day dreading tasks.

And then a tik tok video of a women with ADD popped up and sparked what would be the best thing to ever happen to me.

I saw myself in her and started to research adult ADD. I gasped. After my diagnosis appointment, skeptical I could go 36 years without knowing I had it. Not only did I have it, I REALLY had it. I am a happy functional human now. 10mg of Adderall saved me!
