Stimulants

I’m a little bit scared about my relationship with caffeine and my prescription Adderall. I am under the average dosage and I am taking it daily as prescribed, but I feel a little bit worried about how much it helps me. I know that it helping me is the point of having it as a medication, but I’m a bit afraid of the reality of who I am without any stimulant. I feel tired, and I feel hazy on everything. I think I need to value sleep more, as I know that helps me – but I still am a bit afraid of how I am there. My mind is one of my greatest assets and it scares me when I lose that, like when I somewhat struggle to make sentences or anything like that. I wish sleep was more instantly gratifying.
