    look, I’ve been valiantly wrestling against the impulse to just give up and start doing the work to relocate to China to contribute labor to an actual socialist project (since chinese comrades seem to much prefer that we foment socialism here, based on my XHS interactions), but if it’s that or the ADHD prison slavery camp I’m going to start seriously learning Mandarin

      unfortunately due to how I’m built I probably can continue to compartmentalize away gender stuff personally despite how awful it fucks my mental, but if I can’t get Adderall I’m essentially on a one-way track to homelessness. like I’m functionally impotent. it’s fucked that these things even have to be weighed, fucking hell

        From my understanding they don’t prescribe Adderall in China, I don’t know if it is just illegal and never prescribed or just under very few controlled circumstances. I saw on adhd xhs that they prescribe concerta, vyvanse, and ritalin though

      From what I’ve heard, China isn’t the best with letting people get stimulant meds. As in you have to jump through even more hoops then you do here. And you might end up STILL not getting it at the end. I saw some news recently that its gotten better in the past decade, but (just like in the US) its a part of their “war on drugs”. I understand where their anti-drug stance comes from, but I hope they reform that aspect soon for everyone there. I was barely dragging myself around before I got my meds. Still working on getting better, but its been 1000x more effective then anything else I’ve had.

      But yeah, I’ll either [Fed post] or hop over to China before I dig a single ounce of dirt for these freaks.
