I have pretty crippling ADHD and I always wanted to try cocaine because of all the stories of ADHD folks trying it and feeling calm and normal.
Just curious to see if I have the same experience.
Mentally ill woman in her late 30s. Quit my jobs with DIDDs to go to work a retail job and go to school.
I’m here to help!

My Dad died almost 20 years ago and I went NC with my abusive mother at about the same time. I never knew my grandparents.
I wanted to add my data to the set, even if it doesn’t help much.
Anecdotally, I’m seeing a lot of parents with kids as old as 10 in carts at the grocery store, and those kids are sitting there staring at a tablet or a phone.
As young as 2, also.
It’s constant and nonstop and they don’t look up for anything.
I’m concerned.
Cows make best friends. You probably saw a cow who just daw her beat friend die.
Mine has a setting where if a number calls you once, it blocks. If it calls you a second time, it goes through. And it works! I use it all the time.
Sure, they take years to ban things like r/jailbait and all those fascist subs, but people with rooms to jerk off in a step too far.
I have zero interest one way or another in people who have the resources to devote a space to this, or the ego to want to share that space. It’s a completely foreign interest to me. But to ban people on the internet for being sexual in a way you don’t understand is equally beyond me.
I know a lot of people still have terrible fanfiction they wrote as teens on the internet somewhere, so the warning is very appropriate.
I think the thing I hate the most about LLM stuff isn’t even how awkward it is. It’s how it’s all so blah. Like having cream of wheat for dinner. Sure, it qualifies as food, but you’re definitely not living.
Even when it references pop culture or memes, it does it so… lame.
Here where I’m from in the US, you occasionally hear a “y’alls” and now I’m going to start using it as a cultural gap between your dialect and mine.
I was already pissed, I didn’t need the punch to have a laugh.
I think notspez did it, but they did it as performance art, and I enjoyed it.
Mine was DACHEATED.
I did not have the brain power to reply so thank you for doing it for me and all of those of us who find it too “normal” to try to answer this for the like 20th time.
I am dashing your hopes by replying! But I want to say you’ve grown up so well and have lots of stuff to be proud of. Maybe things didn’t go the way you hoped, but you did the best you could with what you had and what you knew at the time, and that makes you a good person in my book.
I also blame this for why my sense of civic duty exists, despite the obviously flawed and ofte. monstrous system I find myself in.
I think it was things like this, honestly, which shaped my sense of humor.
There’s an argument to be made that Rocko’s Modern Life was not for children, but it aired on Nickelodeon in the afternoon, so we watched it. And this is poignant as hell-
R-E-C-Y-C-L-E Recycle!
C-O-N-S-E-R-V-E Conserve!
Don’t you P-O-L-L-U-T-E.
Pollute the rivers, sky, or sea.
Or else you’re gonna get what you deserve
…I still sing it to myself sadly when I read the news sometimes.
You’ve gotten a ton of amazing answers but to help demonstrate the point made about there being as many opinions as they are people, I prefer my domestically submissive, sexually dominant partner. So there’s even more shades to consider.
Oh, no, I have a prescription for ADHD medication. I’ve just always been curious about whether I’d have that experience.
I haven’t done it by now and I’m pushing 40. Don’t you worry about me.
