When I got promoted back in 2022, it was the first time I ever had direct reports to manage. I resolved that it was time to start meds again. I was diagnosed in 2014, but I changed jobs in 2017, was laid off in 2018, got another job, moved in with my girlfriend in 2020, then Covid happened. All those life changes got me off of my meds, and I kept thinking about how much I had liked having them, but at the same time, just making an appointment with a doctor seems daunting for some reason, when it's literally just making a stupid phone call.

I've started lurking on here, and just reading many of these posts makes me feel understood. I seriously think I've finally reached that critical mass of motivation. I owe it to my girlfriend, friends, pets, employees, and the people who believed in me enough to promote me to be a better version of myself for them.
