“Wait no”, I said, before taking a new sip.

"I have medication resistant anxiety!" I yell at my loved ones as I over consume stimulants. "Science can't figure it out!"

Commiserate with me, there is no possible cure! Sips coffee

What if there was a caffeinated drink with just a touch of cocaine in it so your confidence outweighs your anxiety.

We could call it, coca-cola.

Bring it back!

This is why Ritalin is better

I took speed twice in my life, and the first time I thought it would help with a presentation and I ended up researching about the dogs in the film The Duchess for three hours. My lecturer was happy with the full history of the dogs, though.

The second time I used it to clean my house. I have no interest in doing amphetamines again, and this was nearly a decade ago, however I will say my house has never looked as clean as those few hours. I was getting into the grooves with a toothbrush at one point. 3 bedroom house cleaned top to bottom in half a day.

Stimulants are such a life-hack. Especially if they're the medical ones.

How can I get it? Do I need prescription?
All-day hemist has it?

Dark web?

You need to be diagnosed for ADHD but if coffee is only just about working then you might well have ADHD. I'm sure you can buy it on the dark web. Any stimulant medication really. Make sure it's medication though. Stimulant drugs are dangerous because the come-up/down is much more violent than that of Ritalin is.

Poor little Liddy used to always drink
cup of coffee when she couldnt sleep

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Years ago I realized I was drinking six 24 oz. cups of coffee a day - which is literally MORE THAN A GALLON OF FUCKING COFFEE. One of those cups was even right before going to bed, which is a sign of how much tolerance I had built up to caffeine. Now I just drink one 8 oz. cup every morning and that's it, and my desire to slap the shit out of every human being I encounter has gone way down.

Isn't that the wrong axis? Should be on the vertical one

[–] sbv 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think the vertical axis is the amount, and each bar represents a feeling. So euphoria or dread could also appear on the horizontal.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Ah sure, we just don't see the other bars I guess

Then you take Clonazepam to take the edge off.
