@sh.itjust.worksThe remaining player base is rife with toxic positivity. I'm a former destiny addict, but I quit a long time ago, and so did most of the people I used to play with. The game sucks now, and it's not coming back.
Mainly just the pain of PMDD/endometriosis, being a shut-in because of that and ND, frustration at not being taken seriously enough by doctors, that I am not the best at expressing myself verbally, and that maybe if I could communicate in my preferred medium that they might understand better.
There's also a chance that they continue to believe it's treatment resistant depression and anxiety and refuse to even consider ADHD. That was my experience over a decade and at least a dozen doctors and therapists until I specifically sought out an evaluation. It's also harder for women to get diagnosed, so that was probably a factor.
I went through ADHD Online and got treated through them a while, then I found a psychiatrist who specializes in ADHD/ASD. He said ADHD Online wasn't scientific enough for him and had me do another evaluation which was also online and the 2nd part had to be done by a loved one. I've also heard of people whose doctors did accept the ADHD Online evaluation, so ymmv. ADHD Online was $200 for the evaluation, $200 for the first appointment, and $100 for follow up appointments, so I would recommend them if you're desperate and can afford it.
The idea of creating a personal brand just sounds dystopian to me. I can't even stand social media. If I can't hold down a regular job, and I can't handle being self-employed, then where do I fit into society?
ADHD is usually fairly easy to get evaluated for, depending on where you're located. Getting evaluated for autism as an adult is usually much more difficult.
