      Personally I’m not taking adderall to work because I can’t get meds because I cannot afford the $400 I need to get a diagnosis because every doctor I’ve ever had has said “You have ADHD but I can’t help you because I’m not a specialist”.

      As for the sleep schedule?

      I have slept 4 hours in 3 days.

      I can taste time and it is bitter.

      Edit: 5 doctors in 3 years have told me they can’t help me because they’re not specialists despite me being referred to them for the ADHD. Just checked my records. I am going to start chewing a hole through a fucking desk.

      There’s a thing called instant release and it tends to last only like 4 hours. 4 hours is what the doctors say- for me, it lasts about 1 and a half, or 2.
