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.

    Holy shit, a migraine did that? (I don’t find it gross at all, a lotta nerves and veins etc run through that area, it’s a sensitive place.) I’m glad it wasn’t a stroke and was helped with meds, but I’m so sorry you had to suffer for so long with it escalating like that. Jesus.

    Good to hear you got to the surgery ok as well, and hoping you have a quick recovery time. Sounds like you deserve some much needed rest, comrade, that’s a lot just in the span of a couple days. Sending hugs if wanted, we’re here with you.

      Thanks. Yeah I am still so shocked that a migraine can start in the crotch, it’s just mental. I feel kind of weird now, like I need rest after such a rough 24 hours but also have been cooped up indoors for so long I wish I could hike for miles too.
