I am legally prescribed stimulants.

I also stay far the hell away from short-form dopamine hits, because holy shit.

Used to literally eat until I was sick because my brain craved the "nice chemicals" I was unable to produce naturally. I can't imagine self-medicating with digital brain-rot content, and I feel awful for the people these days that may be unknowingly doing just that. Even worse: that it's incentivised by big companies!

Same. They tried to get me with Vine, then TikTok. No way, not even once. I know my brain.

Same here, with both of you.

I do like to joke about the whole "our attention spans are getting shorter" crowd that now they're experiencing my life before medication, but... I really wish the neurologically typical people in my life would listen when I warn them about what waits for them if they keep abusing those stimulants.
