Off my meds and I can't keep a thought in my head for two goddamn seconds (lemmy.world)

I open a comm to post, and I forget what fucking comm I'm in and have to double check so I know what to look for - sometimes two or three times. Immensely irritating. This is how I've operated most of my life, but it's especially frustrating now that I know it's not how it has to fucking be. Flowers for Algernon over here.

Fucking American healthcare. "At least we're not Canada, you might have to wait for important care!" The fuck am I doing right now, then?

May I ask what happened that you are off your meds? Perhaps we can band together and find a solution.

(Example, on the menopause forums when doctors refuse or withdraw hrt, there can sometimes be help: online resources, or suggestions on what to ask and how to ask it, or suggestions on alternatives when certain dosages or therapies don't work)

There's a lot of overlap with adhd and meno brain (peri and meno also often uncover previously undiagnosed adhd)

Having outside help is invaluable when your own brain is scattered.
