I have had a very onbrand couple of days of sitting at the computer & despite feeling positive about writing, mostly procrastinating. I would love to try ADHD meds to see if they have any effect on my ability to do stuff I notionally want to do. But that requires actually getting assessed.

To be clear, I'm delighted to be feeling positive about what I'm writing again. It's a bit weird but lots of great books are. Feels like the right track, just need to get the gears to mesh so I write it all down.

I asked my doctor if she’d prescribe me and she sent me a list of 10 psychiatrists who would and I thought, Wow, I’m never gonna be able to evaluate this.

This was my experience too. I was lucky I had people close to me to help me out, otherwise I would have never gotten past all the hurdles. It's so worth it though, I don't think I would ever want to stop the medication.

Do you take something every day? Or is it a in-case-of-emergency-break-glass kind of thing?

Every day, I just feel much better with it than without. I am lucky though that I experience no side effects, so I really don't feel any reason not to take it daily.

I've been waiting for nearly a year but the provider didn't show for my online appointment & now I'm stuck in limbo

It took me a bit of persistence, although I never had a provider ghost me like that. Worth yelling at their clinic if they have one
