Hi everyone! That’s right, it’s time for another c/disabled megathread.
Update on the meds: they work! Quite well, actually. I feel like I’m finally functioning at a reasonable level, like I was not only getting stuff done, but I’m now able to actually effectively multitask (as much as one can lol). I’m quite happy with how it’s working, and I might not even need an SSRI at this point. If I’m getting anxiety from the meds, I’m not feeling it, because they actually reduced the amount of anxiety I have to deal with. I don’t know how (thinking ADHD-induced anxiety), but yeah, I’m a lot better than I was just last week. Quite happy for that, might actually be able to manage the end of the semester without crashing and burning this time around.
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
My last one told me to write daily timetables for myself and stick to them. That’s it. That was meant to be a cure for su1c1d@l depression and anxiety. And when it didn’t work she said blamed me for not trying hard enough. If a cancer treatment didn’t work would they blame the patient for not trying hard enough to be cured? Actually yes they probably would.
The one before that told me to write lists of why I shouldn’t feel depressed or anxious and look at them every time I feel depressed or anxious. That will make the bad feelings go away! Needless to say, it didn’t work. Therapy is nothing but a scam.
