i told my therapist how frustrating it is that medical professionals don’t take adults especially women with adhd seriously tell him that i actually need my meds and sometimes it’s hard to keep my appointments with my primary doc bc i work nights  therapist then said “i’m sure the adderall helps keep you up”  no it fucking doesn’t adderall only helps me function like a normal adult i’m not taking adderall so i can “stay up” this is just another shitty stigma about ppl with adhd that we don’t actually “need” meds and that we abuse them
