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!

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.
