The meds I've got are focused on depression. I've known I was depressed longer than I've know I had adhd, and now I understand that's probably why I was depressed.
My Dr told me that the way they usually go at these things is start with depressive or anxious symptoms first to see if it is adhd caused or not. Pretty sure it is at this point but still. I got on a combo that, Holy shit this is the longest I've been not depressed for as long as I can remember! It's fucking insane! Like, is this how other people have felt the whole time?!
I am trying to just get out there, but shit is difficult man...
Interesting. I'm not sure I've confidence improving from medication.
The weird thing is, one of my medications may have increased my confidence, or at least relieved depression enough, to consider changing things up, but apparently not enough to just do it and not worry 😅
I still think I'm gonna go through with it, hopefully it'll help me gain some confidence.
I have some of that too. My job is less routine, which is nice sometimes, but definitely the last second changes are difficult.
I guess maybe it's more of a social anxiety thing. I do find it difficult and draining to interact with even people I work with sometimes, much less strangers.
It sounds like those people had a lot more issues than just transphobia.
I'm not trying to downplay bigotry, but it sounds like a shitty(literally) environment all around for everyone. Just, this poor boy had one more thing against him.
I'll definitely give them a try for emphasis: emphasis.
