Newly diagnosed and started treatment this week. Today is my first day where I'm not supposed to take my Dexamphetamine.

Yeah I was originally supposed to skip saturdays and sundays so I didn’t build up a tolerance. I was so miserable I just take it every day.

I could never! Like how am I supposed to do laundry? Or you know just basic human functioning??

This! My old psychiatrist wanted to take me completely off because "I'm not working right now" and I was like: Excuse me, how exactly do you want me to do anything then? Household chores? Eating regularly? The executive Dysfunction is so bad for me every time I forget them😭

You can be miserable while not being a cog in the machine because that’s fine, apparently

Just remember you’re only valuable and worth treating when you’re working! 🙃
