My brain literally only fully dials in when under stress. I become hyperfixated and very calm. The panic and adrenaline quiets all distraction. It’s very similar to the effect drugs like Adderall and Focalin (my favorite) have on the ADHD brain. Give normies Focalin and they’ll climb walls. Give them to me and I become very calm.
I was on old school Focalin, which was a smoother cousin of Ritalin (softer landing). They later released an XR version of Focalin because technically you could grind up the version I was on and abuse it. It was amazing. I was literally a different person. I booked millions of dollars of business on that shit. Unfortunately, it probably also contributed to my now chronic insomnia, hypertension, and other heart related issues. I got for stents installed at 45 even though I’m athletic, always active, and hadn’t had red meat in almost twenty years.

Does it? Or does pressure lower standards of what constitutes perfection?

What’s Focalin like? It wasn’t an option when I first tried meds. Have you tried vyvanse before?
