Shoutout to all the people who went undiagnosed in their childhood because despite never fitting in and feeling like you belonged, you got good grades, and that was all that mattered to anyone.
@skyler for me it was partly that and partly "you definitely have ADD and definitely nothing else and if you arent getting better its because you dont want to. even though we arent giving you meds or any useful advice/therapy"
@skyler i immediately knew that was bullshit but it still fucked me up a bit
@skyler two psychs in a row pulling that garbage is a big part of why ive not even tried to see another in the 10 years since becoming an adult, until last month

and holy shit, guess what, i have adhd and anxiety and ocd and autism, and it turns out that with working meds i can, in fact, be semi-functional and start to work things out for myself
