Wow, types of non-NT condition seem to be associated with an inverted drug reaction:
ADHD: Stimulants calm them down
Schizotypy: Sedatives arouse them from catatonia
Borderline Personality: Tobacco
Schizoid Personality: Marijuana

My secondary symptoms:
- Depression, characterized by regret, not sadness; feeling sorry, not feeling sorry for myself; feeling thankful for everyone's magnanimity, not resentful for everyone's cruelty; masochistic, but not suicidal; major problems with concept of self
- Anxiety
- Disassociation, both derealization (like nothing is real) and depersonalization (like I'm watching myself do things in a dream), very weird, but for short durations in the past (perhaps last Fall?)--has something to do with
- a little borderline personality features, like "hunger" or "a pressing urge almost to merge with the other person"--I know exactly what this means, it's like a dull ache inside (yet pressingly urgent) to do precisely that, merge with another person
- substance abuse, alcohol and especially caffeine, the alcohol seems to remove the inhibition on hyperactivity, and the caffeine makes it easier to sit still
- sleep deprivation psychosis, the walls and the grass breathe all the time when I get less than 7.5 hours of sleep more than 3 days in a row; yes, even 6.5 hours of sleep 3 days in a row is enough for sleep deprivation psychosis to manifest; however, when i take ADHD medication, I seem to respond to slight sleep deprivation (6.5 hours of sleep continuously) like normal people, sleep but not full-blown hyperactive, not irrationally sad with no warning during the day, not feeling literally like death, and not psychotic
