    Geez I felt that in my bones… I’m SO glad my days of undiagnosed ADHD and assignments are long and gone, but your story stirred up some anxiety responses, from the sediment of my mind. Yuck! And well done! 95/100 ✔️

      Thank you for the kind words, especially from amid the anxiety sludge! Honestly, I think every graduating senior should be given a psychiatric exam, just so they know and don’t have to wait until they’re 35 and maxed out their deductible for the year to get tested.

        Ugh I couldn’t imagine how that’s like, but I sympathise!Thankfully I’m from one of those “socialist” nordic countries, where healthcare is free, or rather, collectively payed for through taxes. Even my current medication is more or less free. I get 95% of my dexamphetamines subsidies through the system. Honestly I’ll gladly pay ~50% in tax, when I’m covered like that!

          I lived 98% of my life in the US, but six months ago I moved to New Zealand. It’s far from socialist, and I look with envy on much of what you have, but it’s so much better than the life I was living before.
