For those taking the medication, it is life changing. Like the difference between dropping out of university versus getting a doctorate.

I’ve been waiting two years now for a diagnosis. I moved house and I’ve not heard anything in all that time from the NHS. I lost my job to redundancy in October. Nowhere is hiring. I’m struggling to remain focused on job hunting. I’ve just found out I’m going to be a dad.

These articles don’t help because I can’t get medicated. Would love to know if something could help but nobody seems to give a shit.

I am not sure what negative effects my meds would have to have before I’d consider not taking them.

If they took away 10 years of my life I’d still take them because the 20 years without them were mostly pretty fucking miserable.
