I suppose dosing standards may also differ on condition, region, and medical provider which is fair.
None of what I said was meant to be directed at you in a way that places blame. I’ve had family members who were mis- or over-medicated and that same worry and sympathy bubbled up when I was reading your post.
I’ll admit I peeked at some of your past posts and I would feel/react similarly in your work situation. Being even vaguely “neurodivergent” and having a stronger sense of justice and higher sympathy/empathy level is difficult, especially in a toxic work environment. It sucks that bullies seem to be able to sniff it out and make your life hell over it, too. There’s a lot of bullshit and injustice in this world, and I’m sorry you’re dealing with so much of it.
I hope you’re able to find some small relief/reprieve, and can at some point find a better work situation too. You’re not crazy for being upset or sensitive to stress. However you manage to cope with it all is valid.
