My bluepilled parents are against adhd medication

[theblueprints]

I’m quite positive I have some type of attention span disorder, and they keep brushing this shit off to the side like it’s protein powder. They treat it like it’s something extra I have to use my own money for instead of taking it seriously.

I worked my ass off to get into a good university by self studying hours because I couldn’t decipher anything the teacher was rambling about, and yet they just think hard work is all that matters.

They keep comparing me to some autistic kid they know who just keeps reading over and over again all day long until he gets it. I don’t have time like this, I’m going to be going to a rigorous university, and I don’t want to be left behind. They think it’s just a cope even though highschool made me want to rope with all the extra effort I put in. I’m so fucking pissed off I want to break everything in my house

Holy fuck, that's horrible

If I may ask, why don't you just go and buy them yourself?

My fucking parents don’t have health insurance, so I’d be paying a shit load out of my pocket.

No health insurance? jesus christ but do you think it'd be worth it to pay out of pocket? clearly they're not supporting you so if it's that big of a problem just save up

I definitely wouldn’t be able to buy it over the counter. I’ve got to be wary of my spending habits, and I can’t afford to drop 500 dollars monthly on this. It’d definitely have to be through some online vendor. But I’m also a recruited athlete, so that puts me in a real fucking predicament, because If I don’t get diagnosed, I can’t use it. But once again I don’t have the funds to get it over the counter

Sorry to hear that, that's fucked. Is there any chance of convincing your parents? or are they too bluepilled to even listen to what you're saying?

One of them is Asian, the other is a lib. No chance

Then you just have to accept it honestly, pretty fucked but considering you're a college student watching how much you spend, I doubt you'll be able to find a way to get some

I would document the document your symptoms and confront them and then push for a professional psychiatric evaluation. Tell them it's not a cope but a tool to match your effort, unlike the autistic kid's method. Talk to them directly and be stern this is your life and you are an adult who can make your own decisions. many universities offer free initial screenings. Be stern and clear on your boundaries If they still dismiss it proceed independently once at uni and throw that report card on the table and show them evidence of success. If they refuse to listen to hear any of it. They are unlikely to get anything regardless of what you do or say but an ultimatum risks unnecessary family blowup while you're still under their roof so prioritize getting the eval and trying to get it independently
