Hey, it's always fun to run after refills every months especially when it includes vacations like August. I ran out of meds 2 days ago and have to deal with myself for an entire week before I get a refill.

Guess who has 0 motivation and lay on his bed watching time go by? Yup it's me, I hate it. 1 freaking week.. Someone help me please

As a diabetic I feel your pain. Happens all the time... "There are no more refills left, please wait x business days while we contact your provider..."

Like I'm going to just stop being diabetic one day...

A lot of it has to do with insurance companies, they just don't want to pay to keep us healthy.

I hated that shit (the dysfunction in my medicine’s absence) so much that I quit taking adderall altogether. Now I have to deal with my ADD but my OCD has settled down in direct proportion and I’m in much better shape physically and have a normal/healthy sleep schedule for the first time in years.

Not having wildly sweaty and stinky feet, grinding teeth, spending all day to swallow phlegm, or spending 5 hours at a time jerking off my limp dick as I open 300 tabs of porn looking for the perfect one—these are all plusses as well

Yeah I can feel that, it has been ages since I didn't take meds though. I'll see how it goes

Much like the Germans after WWII, you are also going through amphetamine withdrawals.

I’m skipping some days here and there to pile up a small amount of pills for those moments. I’d rather skip one day in a weekend I know I don’t have anything to do that spend a whole week dry.

I feel like I'ma end up with bed sores with how much I've just been laying here without motivation to do anything but listen to sad music and regret my life.
