For me, it’s how much better I can do things I thought I was already fine at. Like engaging in conversations, handling complex logic, or just consciously relaxing.

The only medication I was given for anything when they diagnosed me with ADHD was Prozac. For depression. Which didn't help with the depression, but it did make me unable to get an erection.

I expressed the lack of help and that I thought it might be better to treat the ADHD and BPD they diagnosed me with, since those are what affects my life negatively and lead to being depressed, but the doc didn't want to listen. I want a new doctor but I have limited options due to my insurance.
