yeah this is what they said about Benzedrine eighty years ago. then Kerouac happened. and they still give that shit to kids. you'll get more out of exercise and consistent sleep.
That consistent sleep, tho. People seem to really underestimate how nice sleep is, and how easy it is to fuck it up. Myself included. I asked my doctor if I might have ADHD because I was always unable to focus and felt lazy and lethargic. His response was "no you dumb-ass go see a Sleep Doctor." Actually I think I've talked about this before, but whatevs. One night at the Children's Hospital later:"Yeah, so you have, like, CRIPPLING sleep apnea. And your sinuses are straight ruined right now. How do you even breath? You should probably go fix that." One CPAP, 45 min on an elliptical every day, and a few sinus rinses later, and I was sleeping like a baby and waking up like I could take on the world - no medication required. The more I read about how people sleep, the more I realized that we generally don't do a very good job of it.
Praise god for decent doctors. Fuck the diagnose-and-dash ADHD trend. How many children have been fucked up permanently because they're told when they're seven that -- because kids aren't meant to be in a box all day and thus can't always pay attention in school, holy shit -- they have a 'disorder' and time to get on the pills, welcome to adulthood! Fuck you! Ha!I asked my doctor if I might have ADHD because I was always unable to focus and felt lazy and lethargic. His response was "no you dumb-ass go see a Sleep Doctor."
My brothers suggestion to those interested was to eat healthily and exercise and then, if interested try it. This seems a reasonable approach, but yeah... You're right.
You have a brother? Why do I not know this? Is he hubski-peeking (like your BOSS)? Is his name theoldergreen or theyoungergreen? sheesh. Does it matter? No of course not, but it's nice knowing that katakowsj is mk's bro. I tried to get my sister on, but had no luck.
My brother is rarely, if ever on Hubski. He is two years younger than me and lives and works in DC. As such, a few hubskiers met him and his wife via the DC meet up. He's a good guy and is great with my kids, which is nice to see.
