It seems that for me whenever the meds "kick in" I can't really mask properly anymore which causes undesired social issues with some friends (especially in an outdoor setting like this meme implies). Wondering how many others experience this, and does anyone know why this happens? I haven't found any good reading on it and the psychs I mention it to just dismiss it.
Image Transcription: Meme
[The meme follows the standard baton roue meme template with three panels. It depecits a cyclist who causes themselves to fall off their bike. The three panels have text associated with their corresponding panels.]
[In the first panel a person is riding their bike and is holding a baton in hand. The text reads:]
makes plans to hang out with someone
[In the second panel they wedge the baton into their bike's wheel. The text reads:]
takes meds on said day
[In the third panel they are toppled to the ground from off of their bike and they speak out in pain. The text reads:]
"why is this so much harder?"
