Hi everyone! That’s right, it’s time for another c/disabled megathread.

Update on the meds: they work! Quite well, actually. I feel like I’m finally functioning at a reasonable level, like I was not only getting stuff done, but I’m now able to actually effectively multitask (as much as one can lol). I’m quite happy with how it’s working, and I might not even need an SSRI at this point. If I’m getting anxiety from the meds, I’m not feeling it, because they actually reduced the amount of anxiety I have to deal with. I don’t know how (thinking ADHD-induced anxiety), but yeah, I’m a lot better than I was just last week. Quite happy for that, might actually be able to manage the end of the semester without crashing and burning this time around.


As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:

“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.

Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.

      I’m gonna be real, I think they just sprinkled a little inclusively language on shit they wanted to do.

      Edit: But since you ask. They do not give any extra time for tts or accomodations if you’re in an exam where you’re not allowed electronics and if you need to sign you need to bring your own interpreter (Although they may foot the bill depending on the mood of the student support that day)
