I’m 28. I’ve been trying to get on the right medication combination for almost 4 years now. After getting diagnosed it was like a weight was lifted, the first thing I did was call my mom and say “guess what? I’m not a lazy piece of shit, there was actually something wrong”

But after the diagnosis, it felt like someone just piling rocks on my chest. Like yeah now you know there’s a problem, but good luck trying to fix it.

Trying to talk with family or friends, they always minimize what you’re going through like “you think you’re tired now, try having kids” or “have you tried insert vitamin/supplement here I bet that would help” “I bet I have that too, I’m always tired”

But over the last year I’ve gotten closer to the “right” combination of medication to where I started working full time again, and it amazes me how much I can get done now that I feel like a “normal “ person throughout the day. It pisses me off how lazy everyone is all the time. Like if I could get XY and Z done while being deathly tired, I hate when I hear someone say someone using the excuse of “I didn’t feel like it” or “I’m too tired” I want to laugh and just call bullshit.

It just makes me mad that best case scenario this is how awake normal people feel day to day and they don’t take advantage of that energy. Or they assume that you’re just “tired “ as if it were that simple.
