Now I know I’m very lurky on this mega (for those on trans mega and/or especially the tracha matrix space, hi :3) but I thought I’d get this up and running for the week and share a bit of a related update for me.
I’m looking into meds! I’ve really been struggling with ADHD and Anxiety a lot for a while, so this is a long time coming. I’m hoping they’ll help me function better, because wow does it feel like I’m dysfunctional a lot of the time, even compared to other neurodivergent people I know IRL 
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.
New ADHD meds “make me more autistic” (according to someone I know), a succinct way of putting it, and tic more frequently in public. Thinking about the tics just makes it more frequent though so it’s kind of a self-fulfilling cycle.
The usual stimulant side-effects are also there, although it has been better than the previous one I tried.
Still thinking about what to say for the next checkup in a week’s time. I will stay with the same medication for the time being probably, although I am thinking of a higher dosage.
