I'm on clonidine because I have a multi-generational family history of aortic dissection. I was on vyvanse for about two years before my dad's aorta killed him. I've never been more on top of my life than when I was on a stimulant. But clonidine absolutely does help me focus, and it reduces the noise in my head, even if the effects are less profound than the stim.

I just added buproprion back into my daily meds, hoping that's going to help more with the executive dysfunction

    I mean, it was very performative and it felt more like a novelty with how shallow it was. That's what was weird, there wasn't respect towards the traditions or an attempt to gain an understanding of the history of the faith or closeness with god.

    I suppose looking back all of the traditions we practiced felt performative lol

    My family celebrated both Passover and Easter for a few years. We were not Jewish, although we do have some distant Ashkenazi ancestry.

    There was a trend for a while for people to "prove" their devoutness as Christians or Catholics by celebrating Jewish traditions because they gave rise to Christianity. It was weird
