The smoking thing? Hit me as well when I was diagnosed - of course that was why I got through a packet of Marlboro Lights every day in my twenties! Of course that's what helped me sit and write from the minute I got home to about 2am and then lurch, zombified into a job I hated with colleagues I didn't understand unless we were sharing a smoke in the office - of course that's why I follow (Pepe le Peu-stylee) anyone whose just lit a cigarette in the street and inhale the scent as though it's the holy grail - because it WAS my holy grail at one point in my life. And the meds? Huge, HUGE help (to me, at any rate) got me through an MA during lockdown - and no, they don't stifle the creativity process (again, in my case) they shine a light on them if anything - reveal a clarity that usually isn't there because they're all rushing through at once and falling over one another - I've stopped mine for a while as it was discovered I have a heartbeat anomaly and it spooked me, but I'm sure I'll start again once things have settled.

Those comments under the Red Noise YouTube video though. 🤣. I hit the link to check that out and got distracted reading the comments and remembered to come back here and finish your post about an hour later. I always go down the ADHD rabbit hole following links 😂
