i haven’t seen this topic in any of the adhd-related channels i follow, but if there’s a discussion about this somewhere — let me know pls. id love to hear more and read more because i don’t want to spread misinformation or lies.
i try to abstain from any tough conversations. mainly because this is a go-to coping strategy for me these days, to stay sane.
i don’t want to just share information and leave y’all without an action plan or smth. it’s not a news channel and i hate when something disturbing is thrown at me without any “how to deal with it” info.
however, this is serious.

i don’t really have a statement to make, because i already live in a country where being queer and neurodivergent/mentally ill is almost illegal: the access to necessary drugs is painfully restricted (because of they’re mostly imported AND in the grey area of legality) and don’t even get me started on the homophobic legislation. so whenever i hear something like this happen in other countries, im sad, im disappointed but i’m never surprised. and since it’s coming from the usa i know for a fact that it will affect the rest of the world.

so i guess the whole point of this is that i feel like i gotta talk about it because 1) read the name of the channel, 2) read the bio if you’re confused, 3) most of us are a part of some minority in one way or another, so we have to keep up with the stuff that affects all of us.

a lot of people reblogging the OP say that they’re not going to even consider getting a diagnosis because of this. but i don’t think it’s wise and here’s why:
if you’re undiagnosed but have an opportunity to get a diagnosis, or if feel like you need it to get proper help — i think it is necessary to use the benefits that you have right now. get those meds, get that therapy, get better now, so that, if it is taken away from you, you’ll be able to cope with it.
continue to self-educate, continue to maintain the safe spaces and healthy relationships that you have, hold on to your support network. lifting yourself and each other up will save us all in the end.

the ✨establishment✨ hates to see people thrive and happy because it costs more money and this way they can’t deny the allegations of free labor.

tldr: everything sucks, stay healthy and safe just to spite the evil
