Can you Lend me Some of your ADHD Medication?

By totallyaddauthor

Can we talk about substance abuse?
Specifically abusing ADHD medication.
I’ve never actually had anyone ask me to lend them some of my medication. (How do you lend someone medication? Don’t you mean give? Cause I can’t see a pill being a ‘loaner’ that I’d want back afterwards.)

Knowing what’s going on doesn’t automatically prevent me from making the same mistakes over and over again. And again.

I realized that the day doesn’t go anywhere. I do.
And where do I go?

You should see me in my graduation photo… which I’ll get done someday….
