Is it just me or do your meds also seem to dull your personality, make it impossible to laugh, act silly, have fun or even flirt properly? Everything seems forced, almost mechanical. I don't want to liken it to a social disorder but thats what it feels like... totally agree about that i can tell when i take them i go back a gear or two and am not sharp at all and nowhere near as funny! must've just taken one! thought i'd get that in 1st Hey cool a response already.Wait- you PMed me. I'll chat to you there.how weird --- i'd always thought that stims were supposed to sharpen you up, give more confidence, make one wittier (at least so it seems to you), faster, funnier, more likeable etc. etc. etc. everyone reacts differently i guess. i don't believe i could get any more stupid and i am by nature somewhat serious - so i imagine they would work the opposite on me but i am not going to try them so it's all hypothetical! ![]() ![]() ![]() although sometimes i really loathe my addled life. really loathe it. Makes me more aware of myself. More self-reflexive. Like "what the hell did i just say? Was that weird? Am I standing to close? Too far? Am i snubbing someone? That's not funny its stupid- you can obviously see that once you analyse it! Will there be an awkward silence? THink think!" thats me on medshaha thats how i am now without the meds...i wonder if meds would exacerbate it... i always hoped that if i do go on meds it would help me with social interaction-i have a BIG problem with that. sounds like the meds are making you paranoid, to me. |
