I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

Fair point. 😅 i’m just grateful for Blue Beetle, Leverage, your podcast, and so much more. And honestly just this whole process of posting publicly about this and knowing that anyone everywhere goes through the same thing has been incredibly healing. So thank you. 🙏🏼

I tried Wellbutrin a few years ago with a lesser psych and it nearly destroyed me. Massive panic attacks.

Thanks, man! Can’t wait to do my own “two years ago” post! We’re trying a prescription/diagnosis for anxiety and depression first. We’re not feeling that it’s full-blown ADHD because I never had any symptoms as a child. So fingers crossed and I wishing upon a star.

Just got back from my first psychiatrist appointment. Nervous, anxious, hopeful all at once. Want to thank @nome.bsky.social for the help his openness has brought to me and so many others. Let the journey begin.

Booked. 🥹 Y’all, I am anxious AF. Somewhere in there is a sense of relief, but it is mixed up in total anxiety. I want this doctor to be a fit more than anything in the world. June 24. Step 1.

OK. I will try this. I can tell you already know that the overwhelm I felt looking at this list of psychiatrists stopped me in my tracks. Oh how I wish they all had websites with photos and contact forms. This world really is not built for us.

The responses to Nome’s thread have been really illuminating. You want to know what’s sad? I got up today with the intention of setting a follow up with my PCP just so I could get a psych referral. I had to look up her old emails to find her office information and what do I find? 1/2

To anyone and everyone reading… how, where and whom do I even start with to get a diagnosis and treatment? I’ve been drowning for years.

Daniel Beals @bealsebub.bsky.social · 12/06/2026
I can’t even tell you how grateful I am. I’m still not diagnosed. I’d forgotten a lot of what hit me the most from your post. I’m sad that I’m still stuck in that early middle period. If I have executive dysfunction, it has prevented me from finding a proper psychiatrist and getting tested…

@nome.bsky.social I don’t have Twitter anymore, but I remember a thread of yours saving me. I have the link, but can’t view it without an account. Any chance the same thread is here? Keep doing the good work! x.com/nomedabarbar...

The very real feeling when you’re energized to write, you sit down ready to kick ass, and the very second your butt hits the chair, you grow immediately fatigued. But you’re going to fuckin’ do it anyway! #scriptsky #filmsky Harness your fire🔥

Between learning that JK Rowling is Voldemort and Neil Gaiman is the author who holds Caliope captive, we’re going to have to read stories by our favorite authors with such an unfortunate level of increased scrutiny now.
