As you fall further into your drug addiction, you may stop meeting responsibilities, or you might stop going out with friends as much. You may spend all your cash or more than you have on getting more Ritalin. You may start stealing to feed your habit. By this point, you may start realizing that you have a problem but feel like you can't stop. In this stage, you may try to get off the drug and fail.

As you become more addicted, you can become paranoid and aggressive, which can also cause your relationships to deteriorate. You may notice that friends stop calling as often, for instance, because you've become angry all the time. Think about how your addiction has been impacting your social life. Maybe it's made a difference between you and your significant other because you're hiding the amount of money you spend. Maybe you aren't going out as much with friends because you're spending all your time and money on Ritalin. Ritalin addiction often comes with consequences on your work life, too. For instance, while Ritalin can give you a feeling of being "up" and focused, it is often followed by a disabling "crash" period, where you sleep for many hours. That can cause you to lose valuable time. Similarly, you may find that your paranoia and aggressiveness are causing you problems at school and work. Just like these symptoms can affect your personal relationships, they can also affect your relationships with peers, colleagues, and bosses. You may also find that you're missing work or school to score a "hit" of the drug or that you're going into debt trying to stay on top of your addiction. You may feel like you can't function without Ritalin at work or school.

Q: To complete the jump, you'll need 2 jump cups: 1 for each of the 2 poles. Each jump cup will have 2 12in (1.3cm) plastic nubs that you can insert into the holes you drilled to hold the cup in place. To clip the jump cups into place around the poles, firmly grasp 1 of the plastic arms in each hand. Spread the jump cup apart, slide the nubs into the drilled holes, and then release the jump cup so that the nubs slide securely into the holes. The jump cups will hold the bar at the height you select loosely enough that, should your horses' hooves collide with the bar, it'll easily fall from the cups. Only do this when you're planning to jump your horse. Begin by setting the 2 posts 6 feet (1.8m) apart. Set the jump cups to the height you want, and set the PVC pipe in position so that 1 end of the PVC pipe is in each of the 2 jump cups. Make sure that both jump cups are at the same height, or the PVC will be uneven. A PVC pipe is light enough that, should your horse miss the jump and hit its hooves or knees against the bar, it won't injure itself. If you're concerned that PVC is too light, use landscaping timbers as a heavier alternative. To give the jump a more polished look, dip a 3in (7.6cm) paint brush into a can of white paint. Work in long, vertical strokes to apply the paint to all of the wooden surfaces of your standard jump. These include the 2 vertical posts and the 8 feet. Not only will the white paint make the jump look nice, it will also make it easier for your horse to see as it prepares to leap over it. If you prefer not to paint the jump, try applying a coat of stain instead. This will still protect the wood from the elements but won't flake off with time.
A: Place the plastic jump cups into the holes you drilled on each pole. Set a 6ft (1.8m) PVC pipe in the jump cups. Apply 2-3 coats of white exterior house paint to the wooden surfaces.
