Well i admit maybe i've done meth more than once, besides just for studying. Anyways, like i said in the previous post, meth calms me down, i don't get an intense euphoria from it(like normal people), but it gives me like a, warm supporting feeling. My ADHD really makes my life hell, becuase i never feel i can control anything because my mind is going a million miles an hour, and cant stop to think. My emotions are really hell, they go billions miles an hour, one second im ok then the next im about to breakdown. Meth seems to control them, and "slow them down" to where i can actually think about something, and at the same time give me a supporting feeling. I'm not addicted to it where i get "cravings" but rather i'm dependent on it to help control my thoughts and make me think clearly and actually feel in control. Does anyone know what i should do, i would appreciate support, really. Thanks for any of your time.

In reply to Meth always supports me throught bad times, posted by superRitchie on October 5, 2003, at 0:02:57
For me, there are just two questions you need to answer for yourself, Ritchie: (1) am I dependent on meth, or do I feel a need to _control_ my use?, and (2) is my use causing harm to myself or others in _any_ way -- e.g. health problems, potential legal problems, financial, social ... you name it? If the answer to both questions is Yes, then you've got a problem. I realise there are many other definitions of addiction, but I've always like d that one - it brings it down home and personal.
I am beginning to think that self-medication for ADHD lies behind many of our common problems with addictive drugs.
You mention being on Adderall (not familiar with it?) - perhaps you are simply undermedicated for your condition?
The one thing I know for myself is that when the 10-15% of my brain that makes "conscious" desicions starts to prescribe the drugs for me, I'm in trouble.
Peace,
Tony
