personality altering pills
[citation needed]
I'm not anymore, but I spent 5 years on Vyvanse/Adderall. I didn't notice any changes and no one else commented on it. I just felt more focused.

Agreed, I don't know why people worry about pills changing their personality, so long as it's changed for the better.
"this didn't happen to me therefore it happens to nobody" When I was in 3rd grade they pumped me so full of Concerta that I immediately became silent in class, so silent I lost most of my friends that knew me as the talkative class clown, and stunted my social ability lasting to this day 25 years later. Not saying this is the norm, just saying it is indeed a possibility
That sucks buddy, genuinely sorry to hear you've had such a bad experience. Glad you are able to be social on here, at least.
I didn't say it happened to nobody. I said citation needed.
Thank you for providing one.
In germany call 116117, tell them you want a consultation with a psychiatrist. Tell said psychiatrist what you think you have, eventually you'll get tested and the procedure continues. Took me about 5-6 Months due to scheduling, but eventually it works.
When I tried it, 116117 didn't have appointments in my area, so good luck and you're on your own.
I only got an appointment thanks to the good relations of someone I know.
Now, after being diagnosed, I'm lucky to be medicated. But I'm stuck not getting the therapy I'd probably need dearly.
I think the best way to know what you need is by being you.
One could walk down a city street, find a shingle that says Psychic, pay the fee, and you'd have a stranger that never met you tell you if you've got something or not. Not that much diff from a shrink who doesn't know you.
I find it easier to look at what I need and find a path. Doing that is part of making one's personal owner's manual, which process in itself can help with what's needed.
If people don't trust my word on self-d, they prob don't trust me in other things.
What you do is what you are.
