Hey thanks for that! I tried to remember what I was like ten years ago and was definitely “severely depressed”, the first link said that. I was constantly agitated and anxious, had insomnia, would call people crying at 3am, and was obsessed with thinking I had some terrible illness all the time. Despite some mild anxiety the same rubric says I’m normal now, so that’s nice. The Adderall doesn’t really improve my mood so much as it lets me accomplish the things I need to do in a day, so instead of having a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach like the sword of Damocles over my head, I can relax. Most interesting to me is how I was completely self absorbed and only had myself to worry about, and now that I have a wife and kids, I was less depressed in the years we didn’t know if our young daughter would make it to adulthood due to illness. My remembered experience is that my mid-20s when I was flunking out of college and playing WoW 60+ hours a week was a way more painful time in my life.
