thank you, i sadly relate very much to what you describe and i hope you have a lot more peace in your brain & life going forward! it’s hard being in the rough seas but i know those calmer waters are there, and now so do you :)

i haven’t been able to have consistent access to meds in the last couple years unfortunately so i can’t speak much to how things shake out with long term usage, i do remember some anxiety did come back a bit while i still had regular access (i do have ptsd as well so maybe not so unexpected) but for me it was still nowhere near the level of unmedicated. for some people i know that have been on it a lot longer than me they say it takes the edge off just enough, then other people i know say it actually made their anxiety worse so there seems a bit of variety in experience with it!

yeppp, i was late-dx and when i first got put on rits about 90% of my anxiety dissolved and i was walking around like “holy shit…is this what normal people feel like?? they just get this shit for free?!”

it was just mind-blowing to me that i could finally follow a train of thought and not be constantly overwhelmed by brain noise and other people just… didn’t have that going on at all

ahhh sad news, i dabbled around on Turtle occasionally and they definitely had one of the friendlier pserver populations in my experience

seconding this, i use a solo azerothcore build and it’s been great. mine is scaled rather than using playerbots but i experimented with a bot one and it was pretty neat to be able to group up with them.
