You've got this Jen. I will say that the medication cost figure mentioned in chat was not accurate for the US. It varies by state but in mine I have to get new prescriptions sent every 3 months. So while you have to see your general practitioner and that adds to the cost of care, the actual cost of the highest dose of Dextroamphetamine-Amphetamene Salt Combo (a generic for Adderall) without insurance is $130 for a one month supply. With my work insurance, it costs me roughly $30/month to maintain my meds. Without insurance that would be about $160/month, no where near the $9000 quoted in chat. Just wanted to make that clear in case the inaccurate number from chat put anyone off the notion of getting care in the US.
I love Jens real take & openness about everything ❤ also I'm stealing the term psychic 🔮 damage 💥!!!
