I've never had a gf or successfully gone "all the way" with anyone I tried to date off of dating apps, usually I would be ghosted after the first or second date. I gave up on dating entirely and deleted all the apps. I've always been afraid that I'll be alone forever because my personality was all over the place. I think I look decent/average but substance abuse and my "douchebag" personality would always cock block me. Do you think me taking meds for my ADHD and staying sober will finally help me get a relationship? I've been an incel for a long time, I just turned 40 and I don't want to die alone.

what does that mean GrAY? Have you gotten a blowjob for example but not sex?

what does “incel for a long time” mean? Did you lose your inceldom when you were 20 but haven’t had any since?

I lost it at 26 to a hooker and have been paying hookers here and there when I get really desperate but for the past few years I've just been abusing drugs and alcohol.

ah got it. I also have adhd and i did take medication for it but all it did was increase my anxiety, it didn’t help one bit. But it depends, there’s people who have taken medication and said that their life improved dramatically and there’s people like me who also took meds and didn’t help at all. I would say to try them for a month and see how it goes but don’t get your hopes up. Before giving up on the medication try to increase the dosage too for another month.

I'm glad we can relate. Since I'm an addict my doctor prescribed me Wellbutrin which is one of the only non-stimulant medication for it. It takes 4 weeks to kick in so I'll see how it goes... It's only been one week. Thanks for the insight!
 
I can relate to that, its like everything is all over the place

Im guessing you abuse stimulants?

ADHD meds should actually calm you down, at least on low doses

i took 36 mg of some generic shit that’s supposed to be like concerta and my anxiety went through the roof. It was my first time taking adhd meds so 36 mg was probably high

Yeah ritalin is known to cause anxiety for some reason, have you tried adderall or dextroamphetamine?

nah, adderall is banned in my country and never heard of the other one. There’s a shortage of adhd meds so that generic brand is the only i can get

Yes, mainly cocaine. I was addicted for several years and I smoked meth a few times which is like coke on steroids. Both made me feel normal and more relaxed, that's when I realized I should get checked for ADHD.

Same for me but if you go too high on the doses you start to feel euphoric asf

I think I went past that point because I'd get super paranoid and start having panic attacks. I'd get so scared that I can't step outside the house or lay down. I would pace in circles with my hand on my chest because my heart is racing and I'm over stimulated.

I always go overboard. I went to a rave and I got really drunk so I could actually talk to a girl. I don't remember even asking these two girls for molly, I was so wasted I overpaid for two pills. I took out a bunch of bills from the ATM hoping she'd be impressed by that which is stupid but I was wasted and barely remember. She gave me two pills and I popped them both. After like half hour I was tripping out hard and the girls got scared and took me back to their hotel room and were giving me Gatorade. I think one of them was on molly also so she was horny, she was coming on to me and it was finally my chance but I then started telling her when I punched a hole in a wall one time and that's when she freaked out and told me to leave.

This is what I mean. I could've probably hooked up if I stayed sober or in somewhat control but my anxiety takes over. It's not just about looks, there are so many girls that give me a chance and I always fuck it up. It's my anxiety and personality and the dumb shit I say that fucks me. I'm my own enemy, I always sabotage myself. Even at 40 I still can't talk to women sober and now my doctor said I have a fatty liver from drinking too much, I'm not even overweight.

You went past the point due to tolerance and excessive usage so you should take a break and let your body recover, binging on stims just brings a lot of side effects, also cocaine is the worst stimulant out there for your body, worse than meth

Thats some fakecel shit, if i did that i would have the entire SWAT team called on me and end up sprayed with 200 bullets leaving me disintegrated

I'm waiting for a psychiatrist, the last two I had were cunts to me. They wouldn't prescribe me shit because of my addictions. My doctor gave me Wellbutrin as an off-brand but I really want Adderall because that's actually for ADHD.

Thanks bro, good luck to you as well. I'm waiting for a psychiatrist, could take up to a year or two my doctor said...
