tfw you have a few months left in savings and finally get around to looking up disability and it’s all “we’ll get around to it in 6-9 months.”

    Working on it. My current psych seems pretty set on “getting the depression under control” before tackling the ADHD. My dude… it’s all knotted up, Gordian style.

      I’ve been there too. I have three therapists: one that prescribes my antidepressants, one that prescribes my adhd meds, and the one I talk to about all my problems.

      For both my meds (cymbalta for depression, and straterra for adhd) I am being overprescribed the recommended doses because my body/metabolism sucks like that.

      Good luck to you! Once you get it dialed in, it’s nice. Not perfect, but better than raw-dogging it.

      Ah damn, that’s a bummer. I mean yes ADHD is a diagnosis that you only get when other mental diagnoses are excluded where the same symptoms can appear, one of them being depression. But if you already had that diagnosis years ago that’s just counterproductive. Hope you find ways to manage this without meds in a okish way.
