Hey, I'm so glad it's helping!
Finding the right med for me was 100% a game changer. My brain would race for hours at night time, but now I can sleep throughout the night, and if my dog wakes me up to go potty, I can fall right back asleep afterwards. Words can't express how that changed my life.
An even bigger change for me was brain fog. I'd lived my whole life with it constantly. That's gone now, and I was able to go back to school and earn my AS because of it. Turns out I wasn't lazy or dumb, just exhausted and constantly foggy.
I wonder a lot about how we'll view how we treat people who struggle to do well in school as lazy in the future. The fact that I was so easily labeled as such by teachers in my childhood and sometimes treated cruelly because of it is pretty wild, considering what I know now.
