  Yes some are, I was on lithium too and I’m on Vyvanse - both bottles. But stuff like Panadol, neurofen, cold & flu, all the OTC stuff I can’t think of anything that’s bottled.

  I do think blisters are better. I accidentally overdosed on lithium years ago. It was pretty stupid but I used to use a spare lithium bottle for my next days medication. At the time I was on 21 pills a day so when I accidentally grabbed the wrong bottle and swigged my pills, noticed it felt a little more than usual but not enough to bother checking. Until I got really sick and figured out I’d just taken over 30 lithium pills 🤢

  Haha was thinking the same thing. Minor issues here for certain medication availabilities at times but nothing that would make this meme relatable to many people!

  Yeah or even if you can, you will make significantly less money! It’s not only about the hours, it’s still about being able to make a living wage.

  Out of curiosity, assuming a lot of this discussion is US-based, which I’m not, do you have the work from home options there very much? I know managers in my organization often work 4-4.5 days but a day or half a day is at home.

  Others that can work most of their job from their home! Not sure what this is looking like in other countries these days (I’m in Australia). Obviously depends on the job!

  I think some people also struggle with the lack of routine when on a break from work. I know I do (though I am autistic) and it’s not necessarily that I want to be at work lol but it’s the lack of structure for the days. Waking up and not having a plan is very overwhelming for me and definitely gets me into a depression if it’s consecutive days without any structure.

  I do think non-autistic people can struggle with this too - you definitely see with it retired people and others who say stuff like they just don’t know what to do when they’re not working or they come back from the break and are still feeling burnt out. Some people do need to more consciously plan for breaks so they can kinda make their own structure for the week or however long it is they have off. I used to have the same thing even at school - even though I hated school! 😅

  So I think different people just need to figure out what works for them - some people can just take time off and go with the flow whereas others need to have a few things to do over the time off, some basic plans and others might need to make themselves a whole routine.
