[@Efflorescence] I can't remember much of life due to a variety of factors. It was traumatic mostly, and due to one of my disorders I had to take medication (I probably still do for other things but I digress). My parents gave me a pill. This drug was a mild strain of Methamphetamine. It was supposed to be a cure all for mostly my A.D.D.! See, I wasn't doing so well in school because I had the attention span of a goldfish. The drug made me focus, served as an antidepressant, and I was very quick witted and sharp. There's an issue though...it didn't work in the way they had hoped. As smart as I am with and without, I was still failing. Nobody could understand why...
I won't get into the traumatic events and the things I had to live with, but this cure all pill made it all worse. Nobody knew me really because I was high on it, I would get massive headaches, and it would wear off around the last two hours of school. When that happened my body crashed, my mind went insane. The side effects threw me into a drug induced rage. I did things that weren't good...but to put all of that on a kid who was already dealing with abuse, it was more than anyone could take.
The moral of the story is: There's no easy way out. In fact, the "easy way" could actually make things harder on you. When you're going through something, go through it, and you will learn to overcome what sets you back. There's never a such thing as a quick fix.
That pill was experimental. It hasn't been used very often at all. In turn, because I was on it for almost two decades, it had taken its toll as the trauma certainly did. When I got off of the medication, I had to go through a little rehab and learn to function without it.
So, I figured I'd share that with you since we live in a Burger King society. There's never a cure all, quick fix, whatever. Certainly do not do drugs either, not even to "escape" the hard reality of life. It can mess you up through your brain chemistry like it has mine, and you'll never know what [b]you're[/b] capable of without it.

Wow, thanks for sharing :) it can be so frustrating when trying to deal with or fix something that鈥檚 making life unbearable. This really inspired me because I鈥檝e had to force myself away from drugs and alcohol during times when I was only using them to forget about my problems. It鈥檚 great that you were able to have such a helpful takeaway from an experience like that @XReaganX
