After 23 years of Adderall dependency, I am finally free. It is possible to thrive with ADHD. This blog will be a safe space for those at any stage on their healing journey.

On the surface, I’d finally reached the pinnacle of “success” with the Empire State Building view from my window, a Masters from The School of Visual Arts, my photography published in world renowned Vogue, and a perfectly manicured social media following. 

It looked like I had it all. But the truth was, I was DYING on the inside. 

To preface this, I’d been prescribed Adderall to treat my ADHD since the age of seven, the same year the drug first entered the market.

From the photoshoot straight to the after-party, I was using Adderall to Slay! But, after 23 years of use the amphetamine had taken its toll, leading to psychosis, gut health issues, body dysmorphia, Addorexia, and a never-ending cycle of shame; not to mention the drugs Big Pharma prescribed to counterbalance the anxiety and depression intensified by the effects of the Adderall.

When I found myself in the emergency room for the third time, I knew something had to change.  

I knew I had to break up with the drug that controlled my life for 23 years, but first I had to remove myself from the stressors of NYC and find healing in nature. 

This is not medical advice* this is my journey. Never stop taking medication without first consulting with your doctor.
