I've got to learn how to operate with my own stimulantion to do things. I don't have the vital thing I need and I've to learn to live without it.
Are there any suggestion how to live without stimulants? I mean when you get up in the morning, what I usally feel is not good and need some coffee and the past I always had dexedrine to get me going. Now i've got to find some technique to find stimulation in getting excited about things. I've got to relearn how to live. How to live without any drugs, like people lived in previous centuries like the 1800's people did drink alcohol but their was no antidepressants or stimulants besides cocaine and caffiene.
Does anyone know how to relearn how to live life wtihout anything to take?? Like the feeling of euphoria when you start your own buisness when it does well. Money doesnt buy happiness but it sure can make life ALOT easier with the things you can buy. I've already been to rehabs and done some of those twelve step sh*t programs. I'm not talking bad about it just doenst work well for me. I have GOT to find how live with out medication, and once I have income I can then go to any doctor and tell them about my difficulties.

Just get used to feeling like sh*t.
People in the 1800s had their own treatments.

hi ..I have struggled with this same thought. I have been on Adderall, Vyvanse, etc. for the past 11 years and I know it has really helped me even get out of the depression and paralysis of apathy to where I got interested and excited about doing stuff again. I began to be able to focus on things that were important instead of dwelling and feeling imprisoned by my darkness. So fear of not having the help of the medication has made me feel ashamed because I know I rely on it and see other people function great without anything. It actually feels really good to let that all out. I have been beating myself up about it for a long time. We are only human and want to do the best we can..we are all wired different with different experiences and God makes us according to his plan and won't leave us hanging..He always will complete us..Em
