It’s personal, not professional. They’re treating you like a child.
Worth noting that THC turns my ADHD up to 11, so cutting it out is definitely the right answer for me. YMMV.
At the end of the day, they are the experts, so I'm gonna follow their instructions. But I will keep my options open for a provider that can treat me with respect.
YMMV indeed. For me, obviously there are downsides like bad memory while high (it's terrible anyway so fuck it) but it's about the only way I can get my brain to shut up for a moment. Obviously it's a case by case basis, but I am all in once the day is done. Can't when things still need to be dealt with, but at like 9-10pm I'm just done anyway and I'd like a break from the council in my head
I call it the council too. Haha. That's how I described it to my husband when he asked me once why i was pacing with a weird look on my face. I told him there was a council meeting in my head. But yeah, I finally quit and I did notice slight improvement but it was kind of disappointing that it didn't improve more. I guess that's why I quit. I had been using it to cope for a long time and I needed to see what I was like once I got clean. Anyways, I'm about ready to start rambling, i keep typing and deleting but just wanted to comment in the council comment. Fun times.
