Focus Warriors / ADHD / Neurodivergent / Super Fun Support Friends Group / Safe Medication Topic Pt.1
🧠 Welcome to Focus Warriors Super Fun ADHD Support Friends Group 🎉
We’re finally talking about meds this week.
We’ve kind of resisted this topic for a long time, mostly because we’re not professionals, and wasn’t sure if it was something we could actually — or like supposed to — talk about in a group because we weren’t professionals.
But....people were talking about it all the time — in breaks, in Telegram, personal conversations — and not just in the main space... It would get brought up every opening :)
So instead of kind of keeping it taboo, let’s try to actually use it for our advantage!
And this is just the first part, I think we’ll need quite a bit of time talking about this, and I don’t want to just say this is one night of doing it.
So let’s just say that this is our first episode of the Safe Medication Talk, im stoked...
a bit about me...
I was put on meds almost three decades ago, and I really didn’t like it for the longest time, and I didn’t understand them.
I didn’t really get what was happening back then.
I was just on meds, didn’t like it, didn’t understand it. Didn't even know what it was doing, mostly always felt like nothing... but I was getting good grades...
There’s a bunch of things I know now that would’ve helped, but no one told me any of that when I was a kid.
So yeah — I want to share a bit of that.
And I think hearing everyone else’s experience could help too.
We’ll talk about different parts of it:
what it’s like getting meds in Germany/World,
what it’s like growing up taking them, what it feels like to people...
how it messes with your head a bit — like,
“Okay, I’m medicated now... does that mean something about me?”
“Am I supposed to be on this forever?”
Also we need to talk about....
How some people have had awful experiences.
And some people feel like it helped them a lot.
And for some people, it’s both at the same time.
All of it’s valid. That’s why we are going to take our time with it....
Because what works for one person might be completely wrong for someone else.
This isn’t expert-led or medical advice.
This is just a group of people talking about what it’s been like.
You don’t have to be on meds to come.
You don’t even have to be for them.
I was against them for a long time..... and I still have mixed feelings.
You also don’t need to have a take. You can just be curious.
It is great to hear what people are going through. and we need to find a safe way to do it...
And we will cap this session at 18 people to give everyone a fair amount of time to talk and or listen. Some stories could be super long...
