Open original source ↗“(I abused Adderall for a year from May 2024-may 2025 and weed for 3 years from June 2022- May 2025) I’ve kept a positive mindset through most of this but i feel like im starting to get depression. And my memory and focus is still completely shot.. I can’t immerse myself in games like I used to, music ain’t hitting lol it’s supposed to, and just don’t feel present in any moment. My mind also just feels like a completely blank canvas where thoughts can’t flow like they are supposed to. My vocabulary used to be expansive but now it just feels severely neutered and limited. I’m just feeling lost and need some reassurance. I read somewhere that I should be approaching the period where things are supposed to get better but it feels like they’ve just gotten worse. I have my first psychiatric appointment in a while on the 14th and I’m gonna maybe look at getting on some antidepressants or something because this is BRUTAL. I just want to feel like myself again:(”
