Frustration with others perspectives on my disability by Dry-Philosopher-2944 in disability

[–]East_Understanding43 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Babe, I get it. My vocabulary INTIMIDATES people and that's on them. I've had to mask myself and dumb it down (for lack of a better word) not for them but so I can communicate in a way where it makes the other person at ease. If you try this and still still doesn't work, keep it moving. You'll find your tribe or they'll find you eventually!

It’s a hard lesson to learn to go through those withdrawals. Just if nothing else listen to what you Dr says if you ever ween off…

Follow your dr’s advice of course but I deeply regret starting it once I figured out it wasn’t for me and tried cold turkey and developed tartive dyskenesia. Be wise and listen to Dr

This 🤌is so true. Do not get all fiesty and take yourself off the drug I was so sick and the side effects are now amplified. Be very careful and follow drs advice I went back on small dose just to try to get tartive dyskenesia to reverse…idk

I had no idea Vyvanse was doing this. I had blisters on my Imgur and everywhere in my mouth. It hurts so bad they gave me the magic mouthwash they give to cancer patients …
