The ability to start and finish a task is pretty cool
The ability walk out of a room to grab something and remember what I was planning to grab is also pretty cool
I’ve accepted that I’m a high performer generally but occasionally just get stuck in a lull where I can’t do anything. My super power is realizing it’s better to just take a nap or go for a stroll when I’m not going to be productive anyways.
I was actually really disappointed when I got my prescription, because I went home and tried it, and I felt nothing. From how other people describe it, I thought the clouds were gonna clear, the angels were gonna sing, and I would be reborn a new person. I genuinely thought the medicine wasn’t doing anything.
Anyways I then proceeded to play a colony sim for 12 hours straight without getting up or getting distracted even once so I think the medicine did something lmao
Ah yes, I remember the equivalent moment for me: I was 8, and Mom asked me if I felt different after taking the pills. I told her “I don’t think so?” And then 3 months went by and I noticed I wasn’t getting yelled at by my teacher for not paying attention anymore, and I wasn’t getting in trouble at home for “ignoring” my parents (it took them a while to realize I was genuinely forgetting things they asked me to do 5 seconds ago).
Looking back, it’s wild that it took me so long to notice such a big difference. But I think that’s a real testament to how helpful those treatments are: when leveraged correctly, basic behaviors that you would normally struggle with just “click” naturally.

That sounds like ADHD hyperfocus to me
Yes. Understanding what an asshole I’d been to a lottttta people, & the power to observe myself about to do it & then stop myself before I had Reactions To Things
A legitimate prescription for meth… That’s a super power, right?
Never having had meth, not even once, I’m not sure. I do hear it’s a helluva drug. That said, if anyone comes near my Addy
Addy as in Adderall?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adderall
Adderall and Mydayis[10] are trade names[note 2] for a combination drug containing four salts of amphetamine.
Yeah, that’s meth.
Yes, apologies for not being clear. Are there better nicknames you would suggest?
No its totally fine! Keep using it please.
