I will say that something is keeping you here instead of in your head. Something matters.

 

Yes, something does matter-

I'm watching my friends graduate college, get married, move out, all that. And here I am, clacking away on my keyboard, wondering what I need to do to change my situation.

 

Ice is still at home. He is NOT independent. If he does something I'm assuming his parents don't like, he can be punished for it.

I prefer to think of it as "survivalism". It doesn't sound like you are in a good place, and I doubt the "normal" options are going to work, so take what you can get. If it helps, keep it; if not, abandon it.

 

Now I'm wondering if you're okay...

A lot of the piss and vinegar you feel when you are young settles down as time passes.

 

If what I'm assuming is correct, the opposite may be true- Ice may fall apart more over time. I don't want to say why because I don't think anyone here is ready to hear what that is. What I will say is if things for Ice got worse over time, he needs to get the fuck out of that house.

Have you tried other ADHD meds? It's incredibly well known that what works wonders for one person just makes things worse for another, there is no "Actually this one is the best" with them, you have to try each of them

 

Doesn't even have to be particularly long, three or four weeks if you're not sure of the effects, a week or less if they're clearly bad for you. I was told Concerta was where I should start but that I could try Vyvanse if it didn't help and then Adderall if neither did, though I think there are others (especially in Europe) as well

 

That's where I'm at for similar life stagnation problems, anyway.
