    I have an appointment with the VA psychiatrist tomorrow to get tested and treated for ADHD. If this motherfucker doesn't diagnose and write me the script right then and there, and instead insists on seeing me in another three months, I'm gonna be very very mad. I'm not keen on going back to the out of pocket doc I've been seeing and spending $293 for another month's script.

    1. It's absolutely infuriating that meds cost that much and that I need it to function semi-normally. At least fucking T doesn't cost more than $14 for a month's supply.
    2. It's infuriating that we don't have universal healthcare yet
    3. It's infuriating that the VA has so few doctors that appointments have to be scheduled months apart
    4. Fuck you mom and dad for not getting me tested as a kid, despite how blindingly obvious it was that I had it. 4a. Fuck you childhood pediatrician, for dismissing the possibility out of hand because "little girls don't have add."

    Fucking hell this is, at long last, the final mental health problem left to tackle and I just want peace of mind already.

    Thank you for coming to my ted talk. Death to Amerikkka, of course.

      I know a lot of AFAB people who were never diagnosed until their late twenties or thirties because "AFAB people don't get ADHD". Utter bullshit.
