I’m trying to retake the medication that I took back in high school (Concerta) so I can study for and eventually take the Comptia A+ exam. The idea being that I’ve a decently-paying remote job that will benefit both my wife and I. My wife, however, refuses to let me get my meds. This isn’t the first we’ve had this conversion and every time she says the same thing: “You just need to focus naturally”, “It’s all in your head”, “Doctors are only in it for themselves” and so on. There’s no getting through to her and I’m tired of trying to get to reason with me. I think I’m going to get my meds in secret and hide them. I know that this is a bad idea but she leaves me no choice. Any advice?
If they made you change significantly in a way that affected your relationship I would see her point of view, but as it stands she sounds like a ADHD healthcare negationist.
No shit it’s all in your head, that doesn’t mean you don’t need help! Meds are help!
Yeah ADHD is all in your head, but so is brain cancer.
Agreed, my point is that that sentence is not a critique, it being on our head doesn’t make it any less valid.
