Aaaaand my #ADHD meds are back ordered... so that's fun.
"You know that #ADHD meds are addictive, right? They're basically speed!" 🤡
Listen... if I were in danger of getting addicted, I wouldn't need daily reminders to keep me from forgetting to take them. 🤦♂️

Been having some weird symptoms for like a week now. My casual resesrch reveals that it's in all likelihood nothing serious, but potentially not.
It's been going on for long enough that I should probably discuss it with my doctor, but I really don't want to because I know he'll use it as an excuse to take me off #ADHD meds again.
I'll probably wait until I've got my prescription refilled first.
Just booked an appointment with my doctor to renew my #ADHD meds again. Now it's time to play my favourite game: is he going to fight me on this prescription again?
Hooray! I finally talked my doctor into letting me go back on #ADHD meds. He pushed back, as expected, but I might actually be able to do things again.
One of the more obnoxious parts of the #ADHD experience: the amount of cold toast I eat because I put bread in the toaster and promptly forget that it exists.

@VulcanTourist Yeah, the trouble is that I have so many different reminders for so many different things that sometimes just the cues themselves can be overwhelming. 🫠
That can happen, too. How much can attention be subdivided before it collapses entirely?
@VulcanTourist I've kinda settled on a system that sorta kinda works most of the time...ish.
I've been off ADHD meds for a while though, so that makes things more difficult.
Just had an appointment with my family doctor. Mostly good news, except for the fact that when we discussed finally being able to go back on #ADHD meds (which I had come off of because we were worried about them worsening another issue) he's going to want me to be re-evaluated for ADHD.
I can't wait to jump through those hoops again for the umpteenth time.

Has literally anyone at literally any point ever offered a logically-sound rationale for said nonsense?
Because I am f***ing baffled as to how it became popular to say “your disorder in particular is fake” about ADHD of all things.
I don't have it myself, but as far as I can tell, it's a neurological disorder like any other, and I don't see anybody sounding off about epilepsy or Parkinson's being fake.

Those people's illogic is staggering. I outgrew that mentality before I even arrived in kindergarten.

in reply to ARGVMI~1.PIF • •@ARGVMI~1.PIF @Shae Erisson I think it just stems from neurotypicals not being able to comprehend the notion that other people's minds work differently from their own. I don't have this issue so much because I've spent my life surrounded by neurotypicals, so I see this fact first hand every day.
Because they fail to grasp this concept, they're led to the conclusion that we're lazy and/or simply lack willpower, and it's our fault for not just "buckling down". Sadly, they end up inadvertently gaslighting us as a result. I've had to work very hard to try to reverse this conditioning.
