I open a comm to post, and I forget what fucking comm I’m in and have to double check so I know what to look for - sometimes two or three times. Immensely irritating. This is how I’ve operated most of my life, but it’s especially frustrating now that I know it’s not how it has to fucking be. Flowers for Algernon over here.

Fucking American healthcare. “At least we’re not Canada, you might have to wait for important care!” The fuck am I doing right now, then?

Uh, meds for things like ADHD are the same here in Canada, actually. While our hospitals and doctors are on a different system from you, our meds are generally the same… I mean, from the end-user business of private pharmacies and health insurance and whatnot. There’s some kind of collective negotiation with buying that I don’t know about that controls the prices.
