I'm currently being assessed for ADD (or Inattentive ADHD). My psychiatrist said he'll reference my predicament with #MaldeDebarquement Syndrome, which exacerbates presumed ADD symptoms [making diagnosis tricky], at a conference in July.

Ergo, I'm a Case Study. 🙃

He said he'll also enquire about ADD meds for people with my kind of disability.

I've already stated how hesitant I am to take medication for ADD as most are stimulants, and my MdDS symptoms generally GO OFF THEIR ROCKER if I take anything more stimulating than a barista-made mocha. 🥴🤪🤢

The wait is 6 weeks before I learn anything.

But, as I've told other doctors re regular meds for non-physical ailments: if ANYTHING interferes with my ability to WRITE, I am done with it. I've survived mentally thus far because of my writing. My stories are my salvation (even the ones that suck).
