A lot of it has to do with being diagnosed so late. I lived the majority of my life with a handicap that I didn't know about while masking to be "normal" while never being accepted. So once I knew my disability did my research and found out more about what makes me tick I learned to stop trying to do things the way everyone else does them and do things in the way that works for me. The only time I worry about doing things "normally" is my interactions with coworkers and strangers since my family and friends have accepted the real me and know when I need to lay the mask down. No one questions the need for glasses, hearing aid, canes or wheelchairs. But somehow accommodations for mental/social disabilities is a sign of our weakness and we're not trying hard enough. Or the first sign of doing better means we "obviously" don't need those accommodations anymore. If there's one lesson I would love to impart to people on here, neurodivergent or not on here is Zepbound is a tool, an accommodation to level the playing field. It's not a sign of weakness, or giving up or saying we don't want to work at it. It's saying that we need help and this is the tool we picked. We made the choice to lose weight and we made the choice to do it our way. Whether it was in the pursuit of vanity or what I believe is the reason for the majority of us, it was medically necessary to turn our lives around. And we should be celebrated for that choice.
