[โ€“] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can you book one for me, too? I've been telling myself to do that for over a year now.

i uh. yeah. a year. a year or two ago i went to an initial eval to get a recommendation for therapy. Doc told me it makes sense to find a spot since i have so much trouble getting tasks started that it impacts my day to day function.

Guess what I didn't do with that recommendation?

Benn Jordan did a deep dive into the shortage of ADHD drugs in the US. It stinks of bribery and corruption

I remember this, it's rough. These sort of situations are just something nobody teaches us it seems. Eventually you're an adult and supposed to have it all figured out until you run into a wall like that
