Yeah another trip to the psychward. Not good. I'm out and my meds got upped but my dad is in really bad shape health wise. In typical dad form he wants to sell the house and kick me out on the street. I guess now even my half sister, the one he actually loves, won't talk to him. I got no real help in the hospital again this time. I asked if I could be evaluated if I have ADHD and PTSD but they weren't able to test due to being short staffed. I did get an official diagnosis for OCD though. Right now mentally I'm a mess and I'm exhausted.

    i'll provide a counter to puddinbrain's advice - adhd medication has helped me massively in the past, and i'm trying to get a prescription for it again - without the medication, i sometimes struggle to get a single thing done. it is something that's very hit and miss - a lot of people dislike the effects of the medication, but i would say it is worth a try.

      My meds were absolute dogshit right up until they work. Hard to keep trying out new meds when the shitty ones are making you more depressed or apathetic. But I’d give myself some time in between to normalize again and then try something else. At this point I have no desire to go back to being unmedicated

      Will +1 this, without my vyvanse it would be a struggle for me to get anything of note done throughout the day. I had quite the opposite experience growing up though and was not prescribed any medication for it until I was ~19 despite having a diagnosis from kindergarten

        Vyvanse is the GOAT. Too bad it’s so fucking expensive. It’s getting a generic next year tho
