Those are all important but for me and people like me it's just impossible to focus for extended period, let alone achieve any kind of flow or enjoying the work without stimulants. Another bonus is that they help me to regulate my sleeping schedule (since I start taking them in the morning I never feel sleepiness during the day which was overwhelming and hard to combat my whole life before stimulants) and with that comes more time for exercise, less stress and more motivation for healthy eating. I was on a straight way to being a homeless depressed bum before I discovered Modafinil and Ritalin in my 30s. Today I am self-made millionaire, in happy relationship and with positive outlook on my life. I am thankful every time I pop a white little pill in the morning.

Do you have a blog? I would be interested in hearing more of your story. Do you take those legally?

  No blog, maybe in a few years. Where I live it's hard to get ADHD meds legally so I buy them on black market. The whole ADHD diagnosis thing is a sham anyway, a nice article about it: http://slatestarcodex.com/2017/12/28/adderall-risks-much-more-than-you-wanted-to-know/ http://slatestarcodex.com/2017/12/28/adderall-risks-much-mor... I made a few visits to psychiatrists in the past. They always came up with some new disorder (every single one with a different one) and suggested some unproven time consuming therapy. I don't need their moralizing attitude nor do I need them to use me as a subject in a therapy group. You have bigger chances of hurting yourself by getting a few drinks in the evening than by experimenting a for a few weeks with stimulants. If you feel they help you then you at least know the problem is in your brain chemistry and not in attitude/organization skills/fears or other bs I have heard throughout the years.
