Yup, I picked them up today. Tomorrow is my first dosage.

In my mid 20s I was told I was too high functioning for meds. That was a long time ago in a very conservative area that doesn't in general believe in mental illness.

I've been quite successful without them. I'm an executive as an example. But this job I'm struggling more than I have in decades, in some ways I feel like I'm in my early 20s again.

With some encouragement from the ADHD community here I gave it a go. The first provider wasn't helpful at all. The second one, bingo!

Look, you can't just slap your ass hats without inviting the community to also also them.

And then let's slap the ones in my life! Mrs. Gunn from 7th grade math. You're probably dead by now but we got shovels!

    Oh, I think everyone with that experience has their own selection of best-of-unempathetic-bastards, no need to share.

    It gets better though. There's a lot of things I'd prefer young people to do differently than they do, but I find their generation acknowledges personal struggle and gives it leeway, by and large.
