I had meth a few times at parties a while back and wondered how come the others seemed to get really jittery and would lose their train of thought if something distracted them, when I just felt switched on, in a good mood and full of energy. I could pay attention better and my memory was amazing. I still remember certain details from those parties.

Fast forward seventeen odd years and my psychiatrist tells me that I have something along the lines of ADD, but because by then I was in my thirties he couldn't diagnose me precisely anymore. Once he explained what ADD actually is, so many things I'd experienced fell into place. Sometimes I wonder if I would have achieved more if I'd known twenty years ago.

Wait. I thought that's just what meth does. Is that not what it's supposed to feel like?

Yup, meth did the same thing for me too. Just made me super focused and calm
