I’m not on meds so I can’t contribute much to the discussion, but I love hearing anecdotes like this because I feel I need them.
Any other aspects of your journey please share!
I'm with you. Been kicking around the idea, and I'm close to asking my doctor, but I don't know, I have weird emotional hangups about it. More stories of a positive transition help me too. Thanks!
Thank you! I love reading other anecdotes as well and that is a big part of why I decided to get diagnosed and try medication.
