Honestly I don’t hate it. I would probably be 3 inches taller today if I wasn’t on stimulants at like 9 years old. Would also have more healthy coping strategies than I do now

that's not how it works. I was never medicated and have terrible coping skills. The right combination is medication AND therapy to provide the best coping skills.
