    I am trying to get started on a treatment at the moment. This made me anxious.

      I wouldn’t be. None of these are prescribed for ADHD minus a few at the top. Taking an extended release stimulant isn’t going to put you on the path to needing antipsychotics. Or paying a vet under the table for ketamine for your ‘horse’ or whatever the point of this meme is.

      Yeah I was super anxious (to the point of the occasional (alright frequent) panic attack) for way too long before I started treatment

      I literally put it off for years

      My only regret is taking so damn long to get started, my life has literally only gotten better since I started

      It’s like I’m a sailboat that finally got a rudder installed. Yeah the wind still pushes me in directions at it’s leisure but I have enough control now to actually influence my direction.
