Do You Ever Feel Like Life On Stimulants Is Some Sort Of Cursed Half-life?
Maybe it's because I've been on them so long they don't work as well anymore but it's like I can't really sleep (nap) but I can't necessarily function either.
Yes! So well said… cursed half-life…my body is exhausted and tired and needs sleep… I feel it in my bones, but the medication is keeping it very much awake. So I am functioning, but I’m tired with brain fog and anxiety because my body just wants to sleep. I feel like Weekend at Bernie’s! 😎🤣ðŸ˜
Yes! There can feel like a lot of hours or even days that I haven't lived because I have either been asleep or been awake but mainly with automated behaviours and without being able to think properly. I am always having to check if conversations I remember have been real or have been in my dreams and there are always things I have been told whilst in this zoned out space (not sure what to call it) that I have no awareness or memory of. If this happens whilst working, I often question what I have said as well and there have been some, "interesting" and random conversations with colleagues that I have no memory of.
