Glad you’re enjoying the site and getting something helpful from it. And glad to see you contributing. I’m not sure you broke the record for “longest post ever” though. There’s a few doozies around here.
I will have to be brief tonight because I’m not very well. You are right about everything. A lot of factors make the difference between struggling and finding success. It depends a lot on personality too. Those who are more outgoing and extroverted I think have an easier time. And that early confidence boost that you mentioned makes a huge difference.
As for medication, the dependancy issue has been greatly exaggerated in the media, as have the risks of taking stimulants. But you have to weigh the pros and cons and if you feel like you’re doing well enough without it then by all means continue without it. It may not be that bad for you but it isn’t that good for you either.
