    I’m in the same boat with ADHD and anxiety. Finally getting myself medicated for anxiety at age 30. Would have been nice if I hadn’t been yelled at about those “black box” pills when I talked to my mom about it when I was younger. But here we are and I’m just grateful I’ve gotten started healing. Best wishes friend.

      I’m glad you are finally getting the help that you need. I’m diagnosed with depression and anxiety. Luckily my mother has always been in support of medication for mental health. So I was able to get treatment at a decently young age. It was mostly my own stubbornness of not wanting to accept I was “broken” that I didn’t get treatment till I was 19.

      You mind sharing what you were diagnosed for anxiety and maybe how it has been going? I’ve always been a bit skeptical about what they can do for people with anxiety.
