    Been trying to ration my adderall for the couple days since it's looking like I'm gonna be without for a couple months because I'm moving and the United States is bullshit, so naturally I just found my sunglasses in the freezer

      I recently went a couple weeks without meds 'cause I forgot to call in the refill ahead of time, and 'cause my doctor was on vacation when I finally did call it in. I'm on dexmethylphenidate, so idk how the withdrawal symptoms would compare with Adderall, but those 2 week were definitely not fun. A few months sounds awful, and I'm sorry it's lookin' like that what you'll have to go through.

        Oof yeah I had some "doc is on vacation" gaps before which are super bullshit and seem like the kind of thing they should plan for.

        I don't know if adderall really has much in the way of actual withdrawal symptoms, at least not at my dosage? So really my main issue has been having the same brain farts I had before I got medicated, and just running around being distractable and forgetful. Like my brain lost its glasses lol

    Ngl, sharing music OC on this site kinda sucks. Music typically doesn't get all that many upvotes anyways, and I understand why. But when it comes to sharing OC, you can see how many people actually gave it a listen. I've shared a couple DnB, Jungle, and/or Techno mixes over the past couple months, and usually they'll get less than 10 upvotes, with only maybe 1 or 2 people actually giving it a listen.

    And to be clear, I'm not mad at anyone on the site for not listening to my mixes. Not everyone likes DnB, Techno, etc., and even the people who do like it may not have the time to give it a listen. But it still sucks to finally gather up the motivation to share something I've worked on only for it to basically be ignored. And at the same, it also sucks not sharing, 'cause what's the point in making a mix or a mashup if there's no audience to listen to it.

    'Member when the megathread triggered my first bout of medical anxiety? Cause I do! :agony-deep:

    Now I'm sitting here doubting every single trip to the doctor cause I felt a bit of pain somewhere. I went to the doctors less than a week ago, and I'm already doubting their conclusion that it was all fine. Goddamnit that fucker ruined my mental state in the middle of easter and I haven't recovered since :rage-cry:

    But hey, at least I'm aware of all the anxiety I experienced in the past, hooray for contextualization and realization :copium:
