I stumbled on this comic from Extra Fabulous Comics today.

It really did feel like gaining a super power when I started my meds.

    i think this comic is also a nod to the loss of creativity that some people (including myself) experience when medicated

    i mean it’s worth it for me. i draw less but I’m also less chronically late, less messy, and less frustrated with myself all the time

      Yeah I don’t lose the creativity so much but it does reign in the grandiosity. I’m like “that’s cool and all but is it necessary?”

      Plus I embrace the iteration. Make the simple one, then improve. So I get the “finished a project“ rush several times. Win-win.
