“You would remember if you really cared.”
Well this meme ticked a bunch of boxes and made me depressed
- Methamphetamine cures many ailments
  
  Better living through chemistry
- Does your stepson have a therapist he trusts? ADHD diagnosis and medication helped with school, but finally getting the right fit with a therapist made such a huge difference with my teen's social life and rapport with me and his dad. I know therapy can be crazy expected, but we found a person through Open Path Collective that does telehealth, and it's much more affordable and convenient.
  I hope things get easier between you all and that he realizes how much you care about him and want to help. ❤️ Teens can be so difficult but so fucking cool, it's such a privilege to watch them develop as people.
  
  This so much. I was diagnosed at 6, put on meds, and expected to function. Things improved enough for my grades to go up but not enough to have basic social function. I was still miserable.
- I got along just fine until college when I dropped out after the first year since I couldn’t coast by with great test skills and doing basic homework for high school…
  Oh hell yeah. Honors student to failing out of my first year of college. Fuck. I went back years later, but that first time was a helluva wake up call.
@dparanoidandroid also valid for #Autism 👍🤣
True for any mental illness. My dad will give financial support for therapy but then make me feel like shit for needing it.
This could easily be a cross-Lemmy of kids with narcissistic parents starter packs
- I do love me a 2 for 1 deal
You missed "up" in your title. Luckily Lemmy lets you edit titles.
- Thank you for the heads up, I just edited it. It took me a second since Memmy didn’t let me edit the title, had to login via the web page for that. I’m still new to the fediverse.
Same tho, except I never was taken to a psychologist:(
When I finally went to a psychotherapist as an adult, they knew like as soon as I walked in from my bouncing, speech, and body language.
it's kinda scary how much i relate to this
- Extreme self loathing++
  
  Man the self laothing still comes, even if you were diagnosed. I was on meds only for a very short time. Money and all that because the pills were expensive on my family's insurance.
  So yeah, I grew up knowing what was wrong and trying so hard to just seem almost normal on the surface, and now that I'm older and have my own decent insurance I'm scared of who or what I'll be if I ever get back on the pills.
  So yeah, yay self loathing.
Ngl aside from the bottom one these are a mood and I was diagnosed at 6
"You should know better"
- I'm tired of listening to your shit dad.
Are you me?
How is this so accurate
