This just in.
There are hungry dogs out there.
And in here.
Particularly in here.
Under your desk. Look down.
Oh, hi! I didn& #39;t see you there! I& #39;m just a v. v. good #officedog boy who has never been fed ever wouldn& #39;t it be weird if you had treats?

I& #39;ve been on pills for my #ADHD for almost two months now, and... I& #39;m better.
At everything.
Because for thirty goddamn wasted years, I hated myself for how little I could get done, while I was fighting with one arm behind my back.
Taking my meds for the first time was like

It& #39;s not perfect. I& #39;m not fixed.
But in a very real way, I was broken, and I was refusing to do anything about it, out of fear and anxiety and executive dysfunction.
Out of the fear of losing myself.
Reader, I& #39;m here to tell you I& #39;m not lost.
I& #39;m finally found.

I have the best job in the world, and I& #39;m better at it.
I have the love of a wonderful partner, and I& #39;m able to be there for her.
I have decades of ideas I& #39;ve never been able to get on the page. I& #39;m writing them.

What I can do is follow in the best traditions of the people who came before me, and light the way.
I do it wherever I can.
