As for the secure use outside your home, see if you can install TailScale on that NAS. I use it on mine, it’s like having a Wireguard VPN but you don’t have to mess with port forwarding. The only downside is that to connect to your NAS from outside your LAN, you’ll have to be on a device that’s also running TailScale, but if it’s a device you own that’s easy to set up.

Yeah I’m in the US, and am hoping the ACA won’t get gutted too but this administration has done so many self-destructive things…

Thanks for your perspective. It sucks that the info is likely going to end up in the hands of the insurance industry, no matter what I do. I just do not trust them at all.

My doctor keeps paper records but I hear the younger generation is all EHR.

Also since these drugs are all controlled substances, at least in my state, they all get reported to SureScripts who will give the info to any health provider who asks. Technically insurance companies can’t get it but given how leaky you describe this business, I assume it’s just a matter of time.

So maybe no point in trying to keep this private? That would be sort of a relief honestly.

Yeah US of course because I’m concerned about health insurance 😭

Thanks this is really helpful. Any issues ever getting health or life insurance? Jobs?

I’m not worried about the diagnosis per se. It’s pretty clear to me that I have it and I’m okay with that. Also I’ve been having no problems getting meds since my psychiatrist is on board.

I am wondering if there are just things I haven’t anticipated that come along with becoming ‘out’ to ‘The System.’

I guess I’m more concerned about the insurance side. I’ve spent a few years being paranoid about anxiety/depression because that can put you in a tough spot. ADHD does not feel stigmatized? Maybe that’s what I’m asking.
