Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I can start it now but it won't get finished and it won't get done right. I don't think the same unless I'm under pressure. Pressure breeds perfection.
Does it? Or does pressure lower standards of what constitutes perfection?
My brain literally only fully dials in when under stress. I become hyperfixated and very calm. The panic and adrenaline quiets all distraction. It's very similar to the effect drugs like Adderall and Focalin (my favorite) have on the ADHD brain. Give normies Focalin and they'll climb walls. Give them to me and I become very calm.
What's Focalin like? It wasn't an option when I first tried meds. Have you tried vyvanse before?
I was on old school Focalin, which was a smoother cousin of Ritalin (softer landing). They later released an XR version of Focalin because technically you could grind up the version I was on and abuse it. It was amazing. I was literally a different person. I booked millions of dollars of business on that shit. Unfortunately, it probably also contributed to my now chronic insomnia, hypertension, and other heart related issues. I got for stents installed at 45 even though I'm athletic, always active, and hadn't had red meat in almost twenty years.
Nothing in life is free.
Damn, I'm sorry you're going through that. I'm probably fucked then lol
