40mg of Adderall, 700mg of Caffeine with 2 hours of sleep in last 32 hours (and counting)
I have learned to cope, and even use my idiosyncrasies to my advantage. But man, the perpetual fatigue coupled with the brain’s inability to sleep at night is excruciating.
I got called out by my manager again for being late in my review. He’s still sympathetic and claims the lateness just affects my ability to work with others. In reality, I go above and beyond to get my work done right, and on time (even sooner) just to compensate for my lack of time perception.
Anyone else on a similar boat? All these drugs in my body doesn’t seem sustainable. I think the only reason my heart hasn’t given out yet is because I try to stay fit and hit the gym 5-6 times a week.
