The silence in my mind was amazing, the calm was as far as I could reach. I could summon a thought into my otherwise blank workspace, and it would stay there until I was done with it, never being jostled or shoved by unbidden thoughts.

It was lovely.

My neurotypical friends were jazzed about being high; I felt normalcy for the first time.

That was me doing coke or speed. Wow, this is quite relaxing

When I first got a prescription, I tried my first pill. Nothing happened. I was starting to get annoyed.

And then I realized the dialog going on inside my head: it was just a calm, noiseless wave. No preemptive anxiety. No static of overlapping thoughts. Just quiet. Absolutely amazing. Perfect 5/7.

Same. It was honestly amazing, but I also didn’t feel like myself. I’m not sure I want to live out my life feeling like an emotionless zombie.
