Hello everyone.
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
i got referred to a psychologist bc the therapy/medicine aint doing shit lmao. i want to be upfront about the things i usually dont mention for fear of being pathologized (like being plural), but gosh am i afraid they’re just gonna go
and turn me away for some special specialist i cant afford
Sorry the meds/ therapy aren’t helping like you need, comrade. Sucks to start over with a new doc too, and all the unknowns that come with it. Hope you know there’s nothing ‘yikes’ about you and that you’re awesome
thanks. i know im awesome, im just also SO far away from neurotypical im not sure if they’ll be willing to try helping me lol
Even if your new psychologist is no expert in neurodiversity, a good one will at least try to understand and help you. And I hope you get a good one
