So I kept seeing the memes and identifying with them, until I started asking you questions, which lead to asking how to get diagnosed. And after a visit to the neuro and a questionnaire later, I've joined the club. TBH, it lifted a weight off my shoulders.

I will begin treatment as soon as the damned insurance clears the request for medicine. I'm hopeful about the future.

I'm like 90% sure I'm in the same boat but it feels kind of pointless for me to pursue beyond general informational purposes. I've made it this far without meds so it seems like starting them now is not necessary. What sort of benefits do you expect to see from starting treatment?

I was raised being told I shouldn't need meds to function, so I thought much the same. I'm glad I didn't persist in that thinking. It's not night and day, in fact I would say it's subtle enough - like growing hair, you don't notice, but those around you occasionally might.

For some of us, it IS night and day though.

Yes, sorry - I forgot my usual disclaimer 😅. Yes, you are correct. And with proper journaling and patience one should explore their options to find what works best for them.

When I was living with roommates and was on meds, I didn't notice much change but all 4 roommates did.
