Pharma companies are evil. Orthodontists are fucking retarded. My life is fucked as a result. God I wish I could go back in time. It all started in 6th grade. My grades were good, life was good. I was a low inhib avg kid who played soccer and would've grown up to be a normie, and i would've been just fine w/ that. However I was diagnosed w/ add that year, and despite my good grades, my parents put me on adderal. Everything went downhill from here. The drug itself was amazing, I felt hyper focused when I took it. I was able to finish assignments faster and focus for longer. But it suppressed my appetite, kept me awake, gave headaches and numerous other side effects. I started losing weight (i was at a healthy weight before) and sleeping less. I eventually switched to vyvanse (longer lasting drug w/ similar effects) and this really fucked with my head. It gave me anxiety, something I never felt before and now I deal with to this day. I found it hard to socialize because I was so hyper focused and anxiety ridden. I stayed home more, quit all sports, and just played vidya until 4am because I couldnt sleep. 4 hours of sleep was my norm and 6 hours was a good sleep for me. This drug literally stunted my growth and I'm amazed my parents couldn't see that.
Eventually the anxiety and other side effects became too much and I quit, but at this point my brain was fucked. Around 11th grade I was put on antidepressants (for anxiety jfl) that further fucked w/ my mind and was diagnosed w/ ocd. The funny part is that I had a major growth spurt once I quit taking stimulants. My idiot doctor told my parents that I would be 5'7 - 5'8 at best and I grew to be 5'11 at the age of 17. I think I couldve been 6'+ easily had I not taken the fucking medication the doctors fooled my parents into giving me, and slept more through puberty.
I also received orthodontic treatment in 7th grade to straighten my teeth. I had braces for a year and at first there were no significant changes to my facial structure despite the braces pulling my maxilla back. The problem was I given retainers to wear every night that prevented my palate from expanding and led my face to grow downwards. I was looking at an old picture of myself from 9th grade and it's sad to say that my 9th grade jawline mogs current me hard. I look like shit, my face is recessed, my attention span is fucked. The worst part is that if my parents had done nothing, had never taken me to the psychiatrist, or the orthodontist, I could be living a peaceful, happy, blue-pilled life. Ignorance is bliss, am i right? Maybe I could've been a 6'3 chadlite, who fucking knows.
Can anyone else relate?
