That also works

Maybe try being less shit at your jobs, guys? This one is a mile wide open goal you keep missing.

You don’t even need to wait 2 weeks to see if the SSRI you mistakenly prescribed did anything. You just need to stop thinking that ADHD is “can’t sit still disease that is cured by growing armpit hair”, because in many cases the results are seen in MINUTES of the first pill.

Minutes

And yet they keep misdiagnosing it as anxiety and depression or, if you argue back, borderline personality disorder.

And now they’re gonna actively make a “my executive function is exhausted” problem worse by demanding you use more executive function.

Most tragic thing is how treatable this is.

Well not only are therapists and psychiatrists utterly fucking terrible at diagnosing ADHD when it’s sitting there in front of them with a fidget toy interrupting their every third word to talk about squirrels, it’s also possibly THE most common problem they see coming through their doors.

You know how that often turned out to be shit like Lyme’s disease and other chronic infections that the immune system can’t quite fight off?

And the body wanted to test for a blood good reason

And doctors told patients to do graded exercise?

And it made it worse?

The person who spent like 9 years in hyperfocus on one building and then outsourced her entire executive function to it and who is always awake at 3am and can't stop blurting out dangerous secrets? That Steph?

“How do you know your kidnapping targets will adapt to the programme?”

“We have a … screening … procedure”

“It’s DIVA V, isn’t it?”

“Might be …”

I think every single pov character in Dorley has ADHD. Like all of them.

There’s a reason 99% of DorleyCord are on stimulants.

That would be Amfexa in the UK :-p

Geysers of cacophony. Multiple. Simultaneously. Unmedicated they never stop

Ah. I see.

I do like the silence from the meds peaking but apparently I look a bit disconcerting gazing at a wall with a vacant expression (fully alert. I’m just enjoying it)
