oh ok yeah just checking. And yeah that's a problem in the u.s. too. Its really messed up. In some states kids can be taken away on the presumption of neglect even if literally nothing has happened and they're fine, just because the parent has a diagnosis. Anyway I'm sure you're a great parent, I hope the government never fucks with you or if they have they lose.


Yeah, it’s— kinda terrifying, and it’s already impacted me in a major way.

For the past couple months, I’ve been going to a therapist, who has the authority to refer me up to a psychiatrist if I need more help than she can give me (spoiler alert: I do.) I was very interested in this; in particular I really wanted to try medication for ADHD in hopes that I could get over some of my memory and executive dysfunction issues.

Then that story dropped.

You can damn well bet that I haven’t made a single peep about anything that might get me that referral since. My mental health care has gotten worse - in turn impacting the level and quality of care I can provide my child because if I get what I need she might be taken away.
