Yeah, but most people would like to consistently be a functioning adult, not "when they can be on their meds".
Still, I should. I've got a long list of things to talk to a doctor about (when I get to it. Eventually.)
Obviously that's the case. I didn't make a statement contrary to it. My point was "even if it's not guaranteed, some is better than none," not, "be happy to get anything at all."
We should be pissed we don't have guaranteed access to the meds that make us function! It's our entire lives in jeopardy! But the person I'm replying to doesn't yet know that they can have at least some help, and that was the point I was making.
If this seems aggressive it's because I'm constantly being attacked on the internet for saying something I didn't say.
(I'm the person you were replying to 😜) i looked into it plenty like 4 months ago and got a doctor in mind to go to for diagnosis, definitely worth a try when the brain go brrr BRRR (again, amongst the ever growing pile of "oh hey my family has a history of _____ i should look into that sooner rather than later)
I read like 3 chapters of a "PowerShell in a Month of Lunches" the other day and was surprised at myself. I've had the book for almost a year now, got about halfway through it, and it's been living in my work backpack directly next to my work laptop ever since 🙃
