https://youtu.be/mcu6F2_f-T8 This post is sort of #Amazing! Why is it ever okay to say this is a true mystery. I have been #ADHD my entire life, I am well aware of my 'deficit,' It is highly unkind to ask if I took my #medication. Here is why, because if I did not it is because I could not get the old school physical-- as in paper peeps, yes, real, live paper from the provider's office to the pharmacy and then pick it up. The best is that you literally never know what reaction you are going to get. In an effort to reduce my dose, my doc split it into 2 doses. Every month, I am interrogated, hand over my license, explain why I have two scripts, two doses, then listen to the good faith dispensing speech while others ears are perked up and now know my medical history. I cringe because the #pharmacist and tech were too dense to lower their voice and enjoyed speaking so the entire waiting room could hear. Knowing that I will now need to apologize for taking the pharmacist's time, while not asking nor needing this lecture and wasting time. When the RX is ready, I go through the same charade. Yes, I have had to drive 3 h. because I moved & you do not ask for anything to be changed on a #category2. Yes, it takes a lot of time to set up new care, & I can't be without my medication. Hey all good, no worries, yes, I take Adderall. No, you may not have some. Yes, I am very reflective on my 'disease,' and frequently apologize for how others view it. No, actually I am not selfish. I actually would like to assist you, so you see I have value and stop thinking of me as 'diseased' because if you just stop focusing on my issue, I will work harder for you than anyone ever has, go into hyperfocus, and actually assist you. When you see this, yes, you will see I have value. Then, maybe we could stop discussing how 'diseased' I am and see that there is huge talent in this wiring of mine. It gives me mad empathy, #justicesensitivity or the desire for everyone to be treated #fairly, and no, it is not because I was wronged. But rather it is because I always worry about others' feelings. No, it is not because I am #codependent. It is bc I am #genuine, all bc I have ADD.
