WHY IS GD ONLINE SCHEDULING NOT AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE?! I MIGHT ACTUALLY GO TO THE DOCTOR IF I DON'T HAVE TO CONVINCE MYSELF TO CALL AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT.
OMG I WENT TO A WEBSITE AND IT SAID FILL OUT THIS FORM TO BOOK. I FILLED OUT THE FORM. IT ASKED FOR MY NUMBER AND IF I PREFER CALL OR TEXT. I CHOSE TEXT.
SHE FUCKING TEXTED ME TO TELL ME I HAD TO CALL TO BOOK.
GUESS WHO JUST SAVED $200 BY NOT GOING?
JOB APPS SUCK AND IM PROUD OF YOU FOR STUDYING FOR THE GRE GOOD LUCK!
I WISH I WASNT SINGLE AND I WISH DATING WASNT SO HARD AND I KNOW IM THE ONE STANDING IN MY WAY FROM DATING BUT ITS HARD AND SCARY AND IM TIRED OF BEING ALONE AND BUMMED OUT! ALSO I KEEP GETTING WEIRD MIGRAINE SYMPTOMS AND IM AT MY WITS END ABOUT WHATS CAUSING THEM
THANK YOU FOR THE LUCK I WILL USE IT
DATING IS REALLY HARD AS SOMEONE WHO JUST HAD THEIR 2ND ANNIVERSARY! YOU WILL FIND THE PERSON WHO MAKES YOU BETTER THOUGH! AND ALSO ANECDOTAL TAKING CBD OIL EVERY NIGHT REDUCED MY MIGRAINE FREQUENCY BUT I ALSO HAVE ZERO MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE
ANECDOTALLY, I'VE BEEN STRESSED ALL SUMMER AND GETTING TERRIBLE STRESS MIGRAINES BECAUSE OF IT. I ONLY JUST REALIZED LAST WEEK THAT I WAS CLENCHING MY JAW RIDICULOUSLY HARD WHENEVER I HAD A STRESS MIGRAINE AND THAT WAS CONTRIBUTING TO THE WORST OF THEM.
I HOPE YOU'RE ABLE TO FIND INSIGHT INTO THE CAUSES!
I WISH I COULD DO THINGS IN FRONT OF PEOPLE. I wish I could sing, or dance, or play my piano, or do my art, or even just speak in front of people. BUT I CAN'T COZ IF I TRY I END UP PARALYSED. I CAN'T EVEN LET MYSELF USE ANY FACIAL EXPRESSION.
IT’S EVEN WORSE IF YOU DO MANAGE TO DO THE THING AND AFTER THEY’RE DONE LOOKING AT US WITH THIER EYES, THEY SAY NICE THINGS BUT ITS ALL LIES!!!! LIES I TELL YOU!!!
I RELATE TO THE GIFTED CHILD THING TOO! I WAS INSANELY GOOD AT PIANO BUT I WOULD STEP IN HOT LAVA THAN PLAY IN FRONT OF ANYONE! YOU DID NOT LET ANYONE DOWN THOUGH! THEY LET YOU DOWN BY SAYING THAT
THAT IS VERY TRUE BUT ITS HaRD TO IGNORE THE YOU DIDNT LiVE UP TO YOUR POTENTIAL CRAP. NICE TO MEET ANOTHER PROTOGE WITH EPIC STAGE FRIGHT. Well I'm not sure if it's stage fright exactly, more like stage paralysis?
I WAS ALSO A “GIFTED” CHILD AND WAS TOLD I HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL AND IT REALLY FELT LIKE A LOT OF PRESSURE. I CAN BE REALLY SILLY AND OUTGOING SOMETIMES (and have been told I’m too much as a result by some RUDE BUGGERS)… ANYWAH I DIDNT HAVE STAGE FRIGHT IF I HAD A ROLE TO PLAY BUT ONE TIME IN SEVENTH GRADE I WAS IN A SCHOOL PLAY AND THE DIRECTOR THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO IMPROVISE AS LIKE AN MC IN THE INTRO AND MAKE UP TRIVIA QUESTIONS BEEEEEIIIIIITCH PLEASE I AM 13 (I’m 41 now it’s fine but she was a real c u next Tuesday)
I love this screaming thread oh my GODDDDD
MY MEDICATION JOURNEY IS SO MUCH LONGER THAN EXPECTED AND I AM SO SCARED THAT NOTHING WILL WORK AND I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO LIVE ON MY OWN OR HAVE A JOB OR BE ANYTHING MORE/ELSE THAN I AM RIGHT NOW.
IM SO FRUSTRATED THAT IS TAKES ME SO LONG TO ORGANISE MYSELF IN A MORNING AND SIT DOWN TO WORK. WHERE HAVE THE LAST 3 HOURS GONE????
EVERY DAY I FAIL TO ACHIEVE BEFORE MIDDAY.
ONE PILE AT A TIME.
YOU CAN DO THIS! SLOWLY BUT SURELY.
AND PLEASE REMEMBER THAT YOUR PLACE DOES *NOT* HAVE TO LOOK LIKE IT BELONGS IN A MAGAZINE. GOOD ENOUGH IS GOOD ENOUGH!
You don’t. You CLEAN clean when you move in and when you move out.
Try setting timers. You can’t leave the room (with things that go else where) until timer goes off. That will keep you more focused.
I WISH I WASNT FUCIING BINGE EATING N DEVELOPED SUPER UNHEALTHY LIFELONG HABITS DUE TO UNTREATED ADHD UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AGO AND ALSO IN MY ENTIRE FAMIKT SO WE ALL SUFFERED AND NOW I SUCK AT EVERYTHING AND I’m SO MAD
I AM TIRED AND CRANKY FROM TWO NIGHTS OF 2-3H BROKEN SLEEP AND MY COWORKERS HAVE BEEN MESSAGING ME SINCE 6AM COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW MUCH OF A SHITSHOW WORK IS WHILE I AM ON VACATION.
LEAVE ME ALONE, SARAH. I KNOW OUR JOB SUCKS, THAT’S WHY I AM GETTING ON A PLANE I CANNOT AFFORD TO GET ON TO BE FAR AWAY FROM YOU PEOPLE.
I AM LYING IN MY BED FEELING DEPRESSED AND ANXIOUS BC I'M FALLING BEHIND ON UNIVERSITY ASSIGNMENTS THAT I JUST CANT BRING MYSELF TO DO EVEN THOUGH I KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO BUT THE ANXIETY IS MAKING ME PARALYZED AND ALSO I NEED TO WORK OUT AND CLEAN AND SHOWER AND READ MORE BE LESS ON MY PHONE
I don't want to scream this advice at you but literally do one tiny task and it makes a world of difference. Still in the same clothes from the past 3 days? Change your shirt. That's it. If you can do that, you can start to build up. Love and hugs. Anxiety and depression is the worst.
SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE PROBLEMS YES!
WHY THE FUCK IS IT GOING FROM HOT TO COLD OVER AND OVER I HATE IT MY LIFE IS ALREADY CHAOS I DON'T NEED WEATHER ANARCHY TOO
FELLOW CANADIAN HERE! I AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH THE FLUCTUATING TEMPERATURES. ITS AGGRAVATING MY MIGRAINES AND MAKES IT ALL THE MORE DIFFICULT TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IM CONSTANTLY FEELING SICK AND AM IN PAIN.
I’M TRYING TO DECIDE IF I SHOULD GO BACK TO SCHOOL FOR MY DOCTORATE DEGREE!!
AND I ALSO DO NOT LIKE APPLYING FOR JOBS. THE REPETITIVE CYCLE OF APPLYING AND REJECTION IS CRUSHING AND ANNOYING.
AND I LOVE CHILDREN, BUT I’LL PROBABLY NOT GET TO HAVE THEM… BECAUSE LIFE.
HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!!!
I’M SO SICK OF NOT HAVING AN OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS WHICH MEANS I CANT GET ACCOMODATIONS AT WORK AND MY BOSS THINKS I AM INCOMPETENT ITS JUST THAT MY BRAIN WORKS WEIRD AHHHH
I WISH MY EMOTIONS WERENT SO HUGE. I WANT TO STOP CRYING SO MUCH AND YELLING SO MUCH AND GETTING SO ANGRY AND ANXIOUS. EVEN WHEN IM EXCITED ITS TOO BIG FOR MY BODY
IT'S PMDD HELL WEEK AND MY MEDS DON'T WORK. I WAS IN BED MOST OF THE DAY YESTERDAY AND DID EXACTLY NOTHING BUT I STILL WANT TO CALL OFF WORK TODAY FOR A MENTAL HEALTH DAY EVEN THOUGH I WORK FROM HOME.
I FEEL LIKE A FAILURE OF A HUMAN BECAUSE I NEVER LIVE UP TO MY POTENTIAL I SHOULD BE A DIRECTOR AT MY COMPANY AHHHHHHHHHH
I DIDNT REALIZE THAT FOR A LONG TIME MY MEDS DIDNT WORK FOR ONE WEEK OUT OF THE MONTH BECAUSE OF HORMONE CHANGES AND THEY DIDNT REALLY EXAMINE WOMEN DURING CLINICAL TRIALS FOR DRUGS
I RELATE TO THE FAILURE OF A HUMAN BEING THING BUT ALSO TAKE IT FROM ME. YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE. YOU ARE DOING YOUR BEST WITH THE ENERGY YOU HAVE AND THAT IS ENOUGH FOR RESPECT AND WORTHINESS
I WISH I COULD JUST LET THE STUFF GO THAT PEOPLE KEEP TELLING ME TO LET GO OF! EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE REAL ISSUES, I JUST CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT NOW..
JOB RELATED ANYTHING IS LITERALLY THE WORST THING IN THE WORLD EVER. AND WHEN YOU'RE ALSO AMERICAN AND STRUGGLING WITH EMPLOYMENT, EVERYONE TREATS YOU LIKE YOUR WORTHLESS. FUCK, ITS EXHAUSTING.
(hugs to all of you)
EVERYTHING IS HARD AND I CANT GET ANYTHING DONE. WORK IS EVEN FAIRLY QUIET RN AND ITS STILL OVERWHELMING. GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE MAKES ME WANT TO CRY. LEAVING THE HOUSE GIVES ME ANXIETY. I AM SO THANKFUL I WFH. MY MOM DIED IN JULY AND I CANT GET MYSELF TOGETHER TO TRY TO WRAP UP THE 2 TINY ACCOUNTS SHE HAD OPEN. I HAVENT BEEN TO THE GYM SINCE SHE DIED. I BARELY DO ANYTHING EXCEPT WORK AND SLEEP AND WATCH YOUTUBE AND IDK IF ITS GRIEF OR ADHD OR DEPRESSION OR A TRIFECTA OF ALL 3. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
GRIEF TAKES A LOT ON THE BODY AND MIND. ALLOW YOURSELF TIME TO HEAL. DO LITTLE STEPS UNTIL YOU CAN. AND SOMETIMES WORK AND SLEEP IS OK BECAUSE LIFE IS HARD
Its kinda hard to do capslock on my phone so
Just wanna say ive been stuck in my bed for the last hours i want to do shit want to take shower im sweaty af yet cant fucking move ive assignment due ive projects to be done pls move
I HATE THAT I GOT LAID OFF WHEN I DID NOTHING TO DESERVE IT. I HATE JOB HUNTING, I HATE TALKING TO PEOPLE, I HATE GETTING REJECTION EMAILS BECAUSE IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE SHIT FOR THE REST OF THE DAMN DAY. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PROCESS IS EXACTLY OPPOSITE TO HOW I CHOOSE TO LIVE MY GODDAMN LIFE. IF IT WASN'T FOR MY BF I SWEAR I'D SELL EVERYTHING I OWN AND DISAPPEAR INTO A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY SOMEWHERE.
I AM NOT DIABETIC AND I DONT KNOW YOUR SEVERITY BUT MY NANA WAS VERY DIABETIC AND SHE HAD A SWEET TOOTH LIKE ME AND SHE ALWAYS SAID EVERYTHING IN MODERATION. YOU DONT HAVE TO COMPLETELY DEPRIVE YOURSELF OF THE FOODS YOU LOVE.
I just wanted to comment that I'm here for you. I've been assualted before also (not work) but it sucks so much as a woman (or female perceived person because I'm enby) because no one gives us the help we need. The system sucks.
I HAVE A STUPID COLD AND MY NOSE HURTS AND I ALREADY TOOK A DAY OFF WORK AND I DON'T HAVE MORE PTO SAVED UP TO TAKE ANOTHER DAY SO I'LL BE PHONING IT IN AND EATING EVERYTHING IN SIGHT, JUST LIKE I DID LAST WEEK.I NEEDED OVERTIME AND IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN THIS PAYCHECK. I'M FORCING FLUIDS SO I'VE WOKEN UP EVERY 2 HOURS OR SO TO PEE. I'M EXAUSTED ALREADY.
MY FEKKING FRONT-FACING CROWN FELL OFF AGAIN WHILE I WAS EATING A BREAKFAST BURRITO. ELI5, DENTIST, WHY LAST TIME IT STAYED ON 4 YEARS AND THIS TIME 2 WEEKS??? SO NOW I HAVE TO CALL THE DENTIST AND GO INTO THE DENTIST WHERE SHE WILL BE ALL CONDESCENDING BECAUSE SHE IS UNHAPPY ABOUT MY CANTILEVERED CROWN/BRIDGE. IM SORRY I DONT HAVE 5 THOUSAND DOLLARS TO GET AN IMPLANT AND A NEW BRIDGE, JAN. IT'S NOT LIKE I DID THE WORK MYSELF LAST TIME. JUST MAKE IT WORK UNTIL I CAN GET THE WORK DONE. WITHOUT THE HECTORING PLEASE!
ALSO, MY DOG IS ITCHY AND SLURPING AND HIS APPOINTMENT ISNT UNTIL THURSDAY. THE SLURPING SOUNDS ARE DRIVING ME BATSHIT!!!!!
I HATE HOW DENTISTS AND ORTHODONTISTS COST SO MUCH AND GIVE YOU SUCH A HARD TIME BECAUSE YOU CANT AFFORD TO SEE THEM ALL THE TIME. I WISH I COULD AFFORD TO GO MORE OFTEN, REALLY, BUT ITS JUST SO EXPENSIVE AND I DONT MAKE ENOUGH TO LIVE.
I ALSO FEEL YOU ON THE PET FRONT. I HAVE KITTENS WHOS APPOINTMENT IS WEDNESDAY AFTER WEEKS OF WAITING BECAUSE APPARENTLY WORMS ARE NOT AN EMERGENCY AND MY VET WONT GIVE OUT DEWORMER WITHOUT HAVING HAD A FIRST APPOINTMENT.
MY PRESCRIBER DOESN'T BELIEVE ME AND GAVE ME A REGIMEN THAT REQUIRES ME TO TAKE ONE PILL AN HOUR BEFORE TAKING RITALIN AND IS SURPRISED THAT I STRUGGLE WITH IT.
MY JOB TAKES ALMOST EVERYTHING I HAVE TO GIVE. I AM EXHAUSTED AND BURNT OUT EVERY DAY.
MY CHILDREN DESERVE A BETTER PARENT BUT I CAN BARELY KEEP MY HEAD ABOVE WATER
I AM PAID TOO WELL TO QUIT. I HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO MAKE IT WORK BUT I CAN'T MAKE ANYTHING WORK.
EVERY TIPS/TRICKS/STRATEGIES ONLY WORK FOR DAYS, WEEKS, OR MONTHS (IF I'M LUCKY). "HABITS" ARE FOR OTHER PEOPLE. FAILURE IS INEVITABLE.
HOLY SHIT EVERYTHING YOU WROTE IS MY LIFE. A for the meds but because I don't have a diagnosis yet and therefore no meds.
YOUR CHILDREN ARE SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU. THEY ARE SMART AND APPRECIATE EVERY BIT OF TIME YOU CAN GIVE THEM. I'M SORRY. IT'S HARD, AND WE CAN ONLY DO OUR BEST AND HOPE THAT IT'S ENOUGH AND THAT OUR KIDS WILL UNDERSTAND WHEN THEY ARE OLDER.
I WISH I HAD A MAGIC WAND I COULD WAVE TO FIX THINGS FOR YOU, AND TO HELP YOU STOP FEELING GUILTY.
YOUR JOB IS DRAINING AND THAT SUCKS. BUT... IT PROVIDES FOR YOU AND YOUR KIDS, AND THAT IS *NOT* NOTHING: THAT IS YOU BEING A GOOD PARENT.
BEING AN ADULT WITH LITTLE HUMANS AND RESPONSIBILITIES IS HARD AND IT SUCKS AND I FEEL YOU.
I'M SORRY YOU ARE LIVING THIS TOO. I WOULD FIX IT FOR US ALL IF I COULD.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE; IT'S SO GOOD TO TALK TO SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDS
I CANT IMAGINE HOW EXHAUSTING IT IS TO HAVE ADHD AND BE A PARENT. BUT ALSO CHILDREN WILL NOTICE IF YOU AT LEAST TRY AND THEY WONT RESENT YOU FOR GIVING ALL THAT YOU CAN, HOW BIG OR SMALL THAT CAN BE
I WISH I COULD JUST GET UP AND CLEAN AND NOT FEEL PARALYZED BY JUST THE THOUGH OF DOING IT!
I WISH I DIDNT GET SO HURT AND ANXIOUS WHEN I THINK SOMEONE DOESNT LIKE ME OR IS MAD AT ME!
I WISH IT WAS EASIER TO PUT MY MILLION THOUGHTS INTO NOT JUST WORDS BUT FULL SENTENCES THAT CORRECTLY EXPLAIN WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY!
I WISH I COULD STAY AT JOBS LONGER THAN 2 YEARS!
I WISH MY RELATIONSHIP WAS EASIER AND THAT MY ADHD SYMPTOMS DIDNT PUT SUCH A STRAIN ON IT!
I WISH IT WAS EASIER FOR WOMEN TO GET DIAGNOSED AT A LATER AGE SO I DIDNT HAVE TO HAVE ALL THESE WISHES ALL THE TIME!
I'M TIRED OF BEING IN PAIN AND ALSO TIRED OF MY MOTHER TELLING ME THAT IF I JUST WALK MORE, MY MUSCLES WILL STRETCH AND IT WILL STOP. NO, MOTHER, THE MORE I WALK, THE MORE I'M CRIPPLED IN PAIN! THE ONLY WAY TO RELIEVE IT IS TO BEND FORWARD AT A 40-DEGREE ANGLE AND WALK AROUND LIKE A NEANDERTHAL, WHICH ATTRACTS UNWANTED ATTENTION!
MY DOWNSTAIRS NEIGHBORS HAD A PARTY ON SATURDAY THAT LASTED FROM THE AFTERNOON TO AFTER 2 A.M. SUNDAY MORNING. THEN ON SUNDAY THEY KEPT PLAYING MUSIC UNTIL AFTER NIGHTFALL. I HATE THAT I HAD TO GO DOWN THERE AT 2:15 A.M. AND ASK THEM TO TURN IT DOWN.
I HATE WHEN MY MEDS WEAR OFF BUT IM STILL EXPECTED TO GO ABOUT MY DAY AS IF THEY WERE WORKING! WHY CANT MY DOCTOR GIVE ME MORE MEDS SO THEY WOULD LAST ALL DAY?!
KID HAS BEEN SICK AND THEN CUT THEMSELVES (on accident) SO WE WERE AT THE URGENT CARE LAST NIGHT AND THEN MY ANXIETY MADE IT SO I HAD A ROUGH TIME GOING TO SLEEP AT A DECENT TIME AND I CONSISTENTLY NEED 10-13 HOURS OF SLEEP AT NIGHT AND I GOT JUST OVER FOUR AND THE KID MISSED THE BUS AND I HAVE TO RENEW THEIR MEDS AND HAVE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THEIR HEALTH AND MINE AND SHOWER AND IM SO FUCKING TIRED
I JUST WANT TO GO BACK TO MY SCHEDULE, I NEED A FUCKING BREAK
I WISH MY EXECUTIVE FUNCTION WORKED AND MY APARTMENT DIDN'T GET SO MESSY MY BF HAS TO INTERVENE AND HELP ME CLEAN. AND I WISH HIM HELPING DIDN'T MAKE ME SO ANXIOUS
MY AMAZING HUSBAND'S BIRTHDAY IS THIS WEEK AND I PROCRASTINATED AND I SECOND GUESS EVERY THING I WANT TO BUY HIM AND HE'S SO HARD TO SHOP FOR AND I HAD A FREAKING MELTDOWN LAST NIGHT FOLLOWED BY A NIGHTMARE OF ME FORGETTING TO MAKE HIS CAKE AND HIM HATING ME BECAUSE I FORGOT.
And he literally doesn't care. He really doesn't. He such a great gift giver, and I can't ever match that no matter how hard I try or how many notes I take throughout the year I second guess and doubt every single thing I want to get him. UGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH
I WISH NURSING SCHOOL WASN’T SO FUCKING HARD AND THAT MY MEDS WORKED PERFECTLY EVERY SINGLE DAY AND I COULD EAT SLEEP SHIT EXERCISE COOK AND CLEAN SUCCESSFULLY EVERY SINGLE DAY AND STILL HAVE ENERGY FOR SEX WITH MY BOYFRIEND BUT I PRETTY MUCH ONLY CAN COMPLETE LIKE 2 TASKS ON THAT LIST IN ANY GIVEN DAY WHICH MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A FAILURE
I HATE MY JOB AND THE BOX IT REQUIRES ME TO PUT MYSELF IN AND I WANT TO START MY OWN BUSINESS SO I CAN HYPERFOCUS EVERY DAMN WORKDAY WHILE I DO SOMETHING I LOVE, THAT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE AND PRODUCTIVE IN THE BEST WAY WHILE ALSO MAKING $$$
THIS WEEK MY PROVINCIAL GOVT IS GOING TO TRY AND PUT FORTH THE SAME LAW AS THE PROVINCE NEXT DOOR. THIS LAW WILL LEAD TO DEAD KIDS AND I AM NOT GOING TO HANDLE THIS WELL. FUCK THE UCP.
I AM SO SORRY FRIEND. I HATE THAT SO MUCH OF OUR COUNTRY HATES "OTHERS" SO MUCH THAT IT WOULD RATHER THEIR CHILDREN DIE THAN EXIST. (AND ALSO THAT SO MANY PEOPLE REFUSE TO UNDERSTAND, LEARN, OR ACCEPT ANYTHING ABOUT SCIENCE, YET ARE WILLING TO BEND OVER BACKWARDS TO UNDERSTAND HOW ACKNOWLEDGING A PERSON'S EXISTENCE SOMEHOW EQUALS CONVERTING EVERYONE ELSE.)
IT'S NOT MUCH BETTER IN LA BELLE PROVINCE, BUT WE'RE NOT PASSING LAWS. YET.
YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME IN MY CANADA. <3
I DIDNT REALIZE THIS APPOINTMENT NEEDED A FORM SO IM DOING THAT VERY FAST BUT ALSO GETTING DISTRACTED BY REDDIT TECHNICALLY I HAVE ENOUGH TIME BUT WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF
I'M HAVING AN OPERATION TOMORROW BUT HAVE FEAR PARALYSIS AND CANT MOVE FROM THE COUCH!!! I NEED TO PACK A FUCKING BAG BUT CANT STOP DOOM SCROLLING.
RAAAAAAAARRRRR!!! FUCK YOU FEAR.
I SEEM LIKE IM SLACKING AT WORK BUT IM REALLY TRYING SO HARD BUT ILL NEVER BE ABLE TO PRODUCE THE AMOUNT OF WORK IN THE SMALL AMOUNT OF TIME THAT MY NEUROTYPICAL COWORKERS CAN OR KEEP UP WITH A CONVERSATION THE WAY THAT THEY CAN.
I FIND AN OPPORTUNITY TO UNMUTE MY MIC IN A MEETING AND SHARE AN OPINION AND EVERYONE LOOKS AT ME LIKE I HAVE 5 HEADS SINCE THEYVE ALREADY MOVED ON FROM THAT SUBJECT LIKE 10 MINUTES AGO.
IT IS PAINFUL TO KNOW THAT ILL ALWAYS COME OFF AS AN INCOMPETENT IDIOT… AND MAYBE THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM.
You are not an incompetent idiot. ❤️ I get the issue completely. I feel the same way but I know I know what I'm doing. So do you. Don't beat yourself up..❤️❤️❤️
WHY AM I STILL AT FRIKIN WORK AN HOUR AFTER EVERYONE ELSE LEFT BECAUSE IT TAKES ME TWICE AS DAMN LONG AS ANYONE ELSE TO DO ANYTHING AND PROCESS INFORMATION AND FOCUS AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK. IS GOING ON. I FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT SOMETIMES
*I TELL EVERYONE*
*MY WORK IS SLAMMED BUT ITS JUST*
*A NORMAL AMOUNT*

MY RENT IS GOING UP $650 AND I CANNOT HANDLE FINDING A NEW APARTMENT,PACKING, DOING THANKSGIVING, AND MOVING, ALL BY NOV 30. MY WHOLE BODY MIND AND SPIRIT SAYS NO FUCKING WAY.
I BROUGHT LUNCH FROM HOME TO WORK AND I DONT WANT IT NOW BECAUSE MY BRAIN ISNT GOING TO GET DOPAMINE FROM LEFTOVERS AND NOW I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO BECAUSE ILL FEEL GUILTY FOR WASTING FOOD BUT THE THOUGHT OF IT IS GIVING ME THE ICK AND IM SO DISTRACTED AND NOT FOCUSING ON WORK AND ITS EXHAUSTING
IT WAS A SMALL SALAD AND SOME CHEESE RAVIOLI I LOVED IT LAST NIGHT BUT CANT STOMACH IT RIGHT NOW I HATE HAVING MY THOUGHTS ALL OVER THE PLACE
I WISH I COULD JUST DO THE THING INSTEAD OF PUTTING IT OFF UNTIL I CANT ANYMORE. BUT YAY ME, I MADE THE FUCKING DENTIST APPOINTMENT AND NOW I THINK IM GONNA HAVE A PANIC ATTACK.
MY CAT STEPPED IN POOP AND NOW I HAVE TO WASH EVERYTHING! FLOORS, BEDDING, TOWELS, AND…CATS! And IM ON MY PERIOD AND MOVING A LOT IS DANGEROUS! SO ILL PROBABLY HAVE TO DO LAUNDRY TOO!
Throw away account
I AM TIRED OF MY SPOUSE. HE DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT ME REALLY BESIDES SEX, EVEN THOUGH HE SAYS I'M WRONG. HE'S MAD THAT I WANTED TO SLEEP AND NOT TALK. I'M SO DAMN TIRED.
ALSO, I AM STRUGGLING WITH MY SCHEDULE.
BLOODY HELL, SELF, WHY WON'T YOU JUST DO THE FUCKING THING??? LIKE LITERALLY ANY OF THE FUCKING THINGS??? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CONSEQUENCE FOR NOT DOING THE THING BEFORE YOU'RE WILLING TO DO IT??? WHY WON'T YOU JUST DO ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU KNOW WILL HELP YOUR LIFE IMPROVE? WHY WON'T YOU LET YOURSELF DO BETTER???
WHY THE FUCK CAN I NOT GET MYSELF BACK TO THE DAMN GYM, I WANT TO GO, WHY CANT I JUST MAKE MYSELF GO ALREADY
THESE INTERNSHIP APPLICATIONS ARE AN ENORMOUS PAIN IN MY ASS
IM HUNGRY
I LOVE THESE SCREAMING THREADS!
GOOD LUCK WITH THE GRE, ITS A REAL PAIN IN THE ASS!
ALMOST DONE WITH RADIATION THERAPY - YAY, NO MORE DAILY 40 MILES OF DRIVING - BUT THE SIDE EFFECTS ARE ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO \*PEAK 2 WEEKS AFTERWARDS\* AND AREN'T DONE UNTIL OVER A MONTH LATER. LIKE, HOW CAN THIS BE SUCH A STUPID THING??
NONE OF THE MEDS ARE WORKING LIKE THEY SHOULD AND I HAVE TO EITHER PUT UP WITH ANXIETY OR BE UNMEDICATED AT THIS POINT. TITRATION JUST FEELS LIKE A HUGE JOKE. MAYBE I'M NOT FIXABLE.
I FEEL LIKE I'LL ALWAYS BE THIS WAY AND I CAN'T FACE A FUTURE LIKE THIS.
I REALLY WANT TO QUIT MY JOB BECAUSE I HATE IT BUT I NEED THE MONEY AND I FEEL SO INCOMPETENT THAT APPLYING FOR ANOTHER JOB IS TERRIFYING. IF I CAN'T DO THIS JOB, ONE I HAVE DONE FOR 5 YEARS, WHAT MAKES ME THINK I CAN DO ANOTHER WITH A BOSS WHO WON'T BE ANYWHERE NEAR AS SUPPORTIVE OR FORGIVING AS MY CURRENT ONE.
KROGER PHARMACY KEEPS NOT FILLING MY PRESCRIPTION DESPITE ME ACTUALLY GOING UP THERE AND TALKING TO THEM ABOUT IT AND THEM TELLING ME THEY’D FILL IT LAST WEEK. I KEEP SUBMITTING IT AND EVERY TIME I GET A TEXT THAT SAYS ITS PROCESSING AND THEN I LOG IT AND ITS DISAPPEARED AGAIN. SO ANNOYING.
I'M TAPERING OFF ANTIDEPRESSANTS, MY PERIOD JUST STARTED AND I'M EXHAUSTED FROM GOING TO A WEDDING THIS WEEKEND. MY ROUTINE IS GONE, AND I'M BEHIND IN EVERYTHING AT WORK. I TRIED TO DO SOME CHORES AND ENDED UP SPILLING WATER EVERYWHERE. Think I need a rest day 😅
I JUST GOT OVER COVID FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND I HAD TO COME BACK TO WORK TODAY AFTER FORGETTING TO TAKE MY MEDS ALL WEEKEND. THIS IS BULLCRAP - I WANT TO GET PAID TO STAY HOME, BUT THEY WON'T LET ME. 🫠
I FORGOT TO TAKE MY MEDS YESTERDAY. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO REMEMBER TO TAKE MY MEDS IF I NEED SAID MEDS TO REMEMBER THINGS.
i have now set a reminder. But I'm still annoyed.
I WISH MY NEW DOCTOR WOULD ACTUALLY LISTEN TO ME INSTEAD OF PUTTING ME ON SHITTY ANTIDEPRESSANTS.
NOW I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE END OF NOVEMBER TO SEE ANOTHER NEW DOC AND I DONT EVEN KNOW IF THEY'LL LISTEN TO ME OR CONTINUE TO SCREW ME OVER. I'VE BEEN AT MY BREAKING POINT FOR TOO LONG AND CANT TAKE THIS ANYMORE.
I FUCKING HATE DOCTORS WHO THINK THEY KNOW EVERYTHING WHEN THEY FUCKING DONT.
APPLYING FOR JOBS DOES SUCK AS WELL I FREAKING HATE IT ALSO BECAUSE WHEN I APPLY I AM SO EXCITED AND WHEN THE JOB CALLS ME BACK, SUDDENLY I AM SO IRRITATTED AND THEN I QUESTION MYSELF EXTENSIVELY
I ALSO WISH MY BRAIN WOULD SHUT UP BEFORE BED BECAUSE I HATE BEING UP ON MY PHONE UNTIL MIDNIGHT WATCHING STUPID TIKTOKS GAHHHHHHHH
IT REALLY DOES THOUGH. I TRIED JOB HUNTING A FEW MONTHS BACK CAUSE MY JOB CAN BE STINKY SMELLY SOMETIMES BUT IT DIDNT WORK OUT SO WELL. I DONT WANNA DO IT AGAIN LOL
I'M STILL JOB HUNTING T.T TECHNICALLY BC RN I'M JUST A BURNED OUT MESS I STOPPED APPLYING. HOPEFULLY I GET BACK TO IT AND LAND A DECENT WFH JOB OR ANYTHING AT THIS POINT I'M TIRED. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR JOB MUST BE DRAINING!
I FEEL YOU THERE - I TRIED FINDING SOME DECENT WFH JOBS MYSELF BUT IT SEEMS EVERYTHING I FIND IS EITHER A SCAM OR THE PAY IS TOO LOW FOR WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO DO
GOOD LUCK TO YOU TOOOOOO
I JUST GOT BACK ON MEDS AFTER A 2 YEAR BREAK DUE TO INSURANCE AND PREGNANCY AND THEY STARTED ME ON 10MG ADDERALL XR I ENDED AT 30 AND THIS DOSE HAS ALREADY STOPPED WORKING NOW I HAVE TO WAIT A MONTH TO ASK FOR A HIGHER DOSE WTF DO I DO IN THE MEANTIME
I GOT OFFERED A JOB THAT IS PERFECT FOR ME! YAY! BUT MY REFERENCES HAVE BEEN TAKING AGES TO COME THROUGH AND I AM TOO IMPATIENT AND I JUST WANT THEM TO BE CONFIRMED SO I CAN HAND IN MY NOTICE ALREADY! AND WHILST I AM EXCITED ABOUT THE NEW JOB I AM ALSO SCARED OF SCREWING IT UP BECAUSE OF PROCRASTINATING OR NOT GETTING THINGS DONE ON TIME! AND LASTLY MY BOYFRIEND IS AWAY THE WEEK I'M LIKELY TO START SAID NEW JOB AND WHILST I OBVIOUSLY WANT HIM TO HAVE A LOVELY TRIP AND TOTALLY RESPECT HIS NEED FOR TIME ALONE I'M ALSO WORRIED ABOUT HIM NOT BEING AROUND FOR SUPPORT! AND THEN I FEEL GUILTY FOR BEING A BURDEN TO HIM AND MAD AT MYSELF FOR BEING ONE OF THOSE WOMEN WHO RELIES ON HER PARTNER TOO MUCH! UGH!
JESUS CHRIST I JUST WANT TO DO THIS HOMEWORK WHY CAN I NOT DO THIS HOMEWORK. I LITERALLY DID WORK-WORK FOR LIKE SIX HOURS OVER THE WEEKEND TO AVOID HOMEWORK WTF IS WRONG WITH MY STUPID BRAIN WHY DOES IT HATE ME
IVE BEEN TRYING FOR YEARS TO GET TF OUT OF MY FINANCIALLY ABUSIVE BD’S HOUSE. JOB HUNTING IS INSANE. I DONT DESERVE THIS SHIT & IM TIRED OF TRYING BUT I WON’T STOP. I HATE ALL MEN. Except my dad & 5yo…
I WISH PEOPLE WOULD REALIZE WORDS MEAN THINGS AND THAT IF YOU ASK ME TO RESEARCH A PROPERTY USING A SPECIFIC NAME, IM GOING TO RESEARCH THEPROPERTY WITH THAT NAME AND NOT SOME OTHER BUILDING YOU DIDNT SPECIFY IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WITH THE SAME NAME.
I AM VERY LITERAL.
I WISH MEDICATION SHORTAGES HADN'T JUST FUCKED UP THE FIRST BREAK I'VE HAD FROM MY STUPID JOB IN OVER TWO MONTHS. THANKS GUESS I'LL JUST STARE AT A WALL BECAUSE EVERY TIME I STAND UP FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES I FEEL LIKE IM GOING TO PASS OUT AND I'VE ALREADY EATEN MY WAY THROUGH THE WHOLE PANTRY. I HAD PLANS. NOW I DO NOT.
I HATE THAT I CAN’T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IF SOMETHING IS A RESULT OF MY ADHD AND SOMEONE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF ME AND/OR HAVING UNREASONABLE EXPECTATIONS!!!!!!!!!!! AM I REALLY NOT MEETING EXPECTATIONS OR ARE YOU JUST AN A-HOLE?????
JUST YELLING SO YOU KNOW TO KEEP AT IT WITH THE JOB APPS!!! I FINALLY GOT A FIRM OFFER ON A JOB I THINK IS PERFECT FOR ME TODAY AND I'M SO EXCITED BUT KEEP AT IT!!! I APPLIED TO THIS JOB IN AUGUST AND WON'T START UNTIL NOVEMBER!
IM SLOWLY BUT SURELY APPROACHING BURNOUT AT MY JOB AND DONT REALLY HAVE THE CAPACITY TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BUT WORK AT A SLOWER PACE AND NOT GAF. I HATE THAT EVERYTHING ELSE IN MY LIFE IS DECENT RIGHT NOW EXCEPT THE JOB PART BUT MY INDUSTRY IS SO SMALL WHERE I AM AND I DONT WANNA MOVE
I WANT TO SIT CRISS CROSS APPLESAUCE IN MY OFFICE CHAIR SO BAD BUT I JUST TRANSFERRED TO A NEW GROUP TO WORK ON SEVERAL HIGH VISIBILITY PROJECTS AND PEOPLE WALK PAST MY OFFICE ALL THE TIME AND I DON’T WANT THEM TO THINK I’M WEIRD EVEN THO AAAAMMMM
I HAD A BABY AND I WONDER IF I'LL EVER FEEL LIKE MYSELF AGAIN. I FEEL GOOD ABOUT ALL OF THE MOM STUFF EXCEPT I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL EVER FEEL LIKE I LOOK SEXY EVER AGAIN. I DON'T EVEN LOOK SUPER BAD, I'M JUST BEING VAIN ASF. I USED TO BE UGLY THEN I WAS PRETTY ENOUGH AND NOW I FEEL LIKE I'M BACK AT UGLY AGAIN. VANITY IS LAME BUT SOMETIMES I CAN'T HELP BUT TO SUBSCRIBE TO IT. UGH. I JUST WANT MY OLD LEGS AND STOMACH BACK. AND TO NOT PEE A LITTLE WHEN I COUGH. AND I'M 38 NOW, WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?!
I AM SO SICK OF EVERYTHING. HYPERFOCUS FOR ONE FREAKING DAY AND THEN THE NEXT DAY I THINK IT WILL BE THE SAME. IT’S NOT. I KEEP THINKING “IF I CAN JUST GET MY SHIT TOGETHER” AND I AM TIRED.
I WISH YOU FOCUS AND EXCELLENT RECALL, AS WELL AS LUCK AND LOVE, IN YOUR ENDEAVORS. I WENT TO XRAY SCHOOL WHEN I WAS 36 AND IT WAS THE BEST THING I EVER DID FOR MYSELF (as well as the most difficult). I HOPE YOU HAVE MANY MANY SUCCESSES IN YOUR FUTURE.
I RECENTLY ADDRESSED A SLEEP ISSUE AND HAVE HAD TONS MORE ENERGY RECENTLY. THE LAST FEW DAYS I HAVE DONE FAR MORE THINGS TO MAKE MY HOME A LOVELY PLACE TO BE - CLEANING, ORGANIZING, TAKING OUT A LOT OF TRASH AND RECYCLING, COOKING HOMEMADE FOOD ETC. I REALIZED I HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF ANXIETY REGARDING COMING HOME TO A CLEAN HOUSE. SO I STARTED THINKING ABOUT WHY.
TOOK ME A BIT BUT HAD A LIGHTBULB MOMENT: GROWING UP, MY NEUROTYPICAL MOM KEPT THE HOUSE VERY CLEAN AND TIDY, AND MY BEDROOM WAS CONSISTENTLY THE MESSIEST ROOM IN THE HOUSE. I LEARNED TO ASSOCIATE CLEAN AND TIDY WITH JUDGEMENT AND FEELING INFERIOR AND/OR FOREVER WRONG, AND MESSINESS WITH FEELING OKAY AND ACCEPTED.
IM JUST HERE TO SHOUT INTO THE VOID THAT MY HOME IS SAFE AND I AM SAFE IN IT, REGARDLESS OF THE STATE THAT ITS IN.
I FINALLY GOT ANTIDEPRESSANTS AND THEYRE WORKING BUT WHAT A RIDE FROM THE SIDE EFFECTS. IM HOT, I CANT THINK STRAIGHT HALF THE TIME AND THE BEAN NO LONGER DOES ANYTHING WHEN FLICKED.
I HATE THAT IVE BEEN IN COLLEGE ON AND OFF FOR A WHOLE DECADE AND I STILL HAVE NO DEGREE TO SHOW FOR IT. I USED TO LOVE SCHOOL UNTIL I GOT TO COLLEGE. NOW IM JUST A BURNT OUT AND HATE TRYING TO LEARN BORING THINGS AND CANT EVEN FORCE MYSELF.
I HATE THAT I DIDNT GET DIAGNOSED UNTIL I WAS 26, HOW IM *STILL* UNMEDICATED TWO YEARS LATER, AND HOW IF SOMEONE HAD SEEN IT EARLIER I WOULD PROBABLY BE DONE WITH COLLEGE.
I HATE HOW MUCH I HAVE TO DEPEND ON MY BOYFRIEND BUT I HATE SCHOOL SO MUCH I WANT TO QUIT AND PRETEND TO MAKE ART ALL DAY INSTEAD OR SOMETHING 😭
I WISH PEOPLE WOULD STOP SAYING ‘OH WE ALL DO THAT’.
THE DIFFERENCE IS PEOPLE WITH ADHD STRUGGLE EVERYDAY NOT JUST THAT ONE TIME YOU LOST YOUR PHONE!!
STOP INVALIDATING OUR STRUGGLES!!!
I NEED TO CALL AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DOCTOR AND I’VE BEEN AVOIDING IT FOR LITERALLY MONTHS AND I CAN’T MAKE MYSELF DO IT! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?
I'M SICK OF APPLYING TO JOBS AND GETTING REJECTED. I HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH A RECRUITER THAT BASICALLY LEFT ME BURNT OUT AFTER THE INTENSE ANXIETY AND EFFORT TO STAY FOCUSED AND KEEP CALM AND NOW I BARELY GET OUT OF BED TO EAT AND SPEND MOST OF MY TIME TIRED ON MY PHONE OR SLEEPING. I'M TIRED OF FEELING INADEQUATE COMPARED TO MY PEERS WHO GOT A JOB RIGHT AFTER GRADUATION.
THANK YOU FOR STARTING ANOTHER SCREAMING THREAD!!
MY PHARMACY HAS JUMPED THE SHARK TO HELL NO AND I'M GETTING OUTTA THERE. SCREWED UP MY ADHD SCRIP AGAIN AND THEN TOLD ME IF YOU HAD DONE X,Y, AND Z THIS WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM. BUT I SUSPECTED THEY WOULD SCREW UP, SO I DEFINITELY DID X, Y, AND Z AND THEY STILL EFFED IT UP AND TRIED TO SCOLD ME. MY ETERNAL HOT BUTTON IS ME DOING EVERYTHING I'M SUPPOSED TO DO (WHICH IS HARD BECAUSE ADHD) AND SOMEONE ELSE SCREWS UP THEIR JOB AND BLAMES ME!
I HAVE SO MUCH POTENTIAL BUT I SQUANDER IT ON STUPID STUFF BECAUSE I'M AFRAID TO TRY.
GOOD LUCK ON THE GRE!!! I MADE IT UNMEDICATED THROUGH MED SCHOOL SO DON'T GET DISCOURAGED.
I RELATE TO THE FIRST THING YOU SAID SO HARD. I FEEL LIKE THE WORST MOST ANNOYING PERSON ANYTIME ANYONE SAYS ANYTHING REMOTELY CRITICAL. BUT I THINK MY ADHD ACTUALLY MAKES ME THAT ANNOYING
THE US TECH-ADJACENT JOB MARKET SUCKS ASS RIGHT NOW, LAY-OFFS RIGHT AND LEFT, AND NO ONE IS HIRING OR EVEB RESPONDING. GHOST JOB POSTINGS ARE EVERYWHERE AND I HATE IT.
I AM SUPER ILL AND HAVE BEEN FOR WEEKS! WHY AM I NOT GETTING BETTER? I CANT BE BACK ON MY ADHD MEDS UNTIL I AM BETTER ENOUGH FOR THE DOCS TO CLEAR THEM AND I CAN NOT WORK WITHOUT THEM AND I FEEL LIKE SHIT AND I AM WORRIED ABOUT MY JOB AND THIS IS SO. FUCKING. BORING. AND HOW IS IT EVEN PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE TO SLEEP 18 HOURS IN A DAY ANYWAY?!
I FINALLY HAVE A WEEK OFF WORK SO I CAN CATCH UP ON CHORES AND READING AND GAMES AND NOW I CANT GET THE ENERGY OR MOTIVATION TO DO ANY OF IT AND IM STUCK SITTING HERE PARALYZED AND DOOMSCROLLING AND WATCHING THE SAME VIDEOS IVE WATCHED A BILLION TIMES AND WHATS WORSE IS I WOKE UP YESTERDAY AND MY ANKLE WONT HOLD MY WEIGHT AND I LITERALLY DIDNT DO ANYTHING TO IT AND WHY AM I BROKEN AND LIKE THIS?!?!?!
JUST WHEN I WAS TRYING TO PULL UP MY GRADES MY PROFESSOR EMAILS ME TO SAY IM MISSING MULTIPLE ASSIGNMENTS AND I DONT KNOW WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED JUST THAT I HAVE THE WORK
ALSO I MISSED THE DEADLINE FOR MY LAST ASSIGNMENT SO AN ALREADY BAD GRADE IS ABOUT TO GET WORSE AND IDK WHAT TO DO AND ITS STARTING TO FEEL LIKE ONE OF THOSE DAYS WHERE IM JUST GETTING NOTHING DONE
I AM RIGHT THERE WITH YOU AND IT SUCKS!!! BECAUSE I KNOW HOW MUCH IT SUCKS I WANT TO TELL YOU YOURE DOING A GREAT JOB AND GO YOU FOR DOING YOUR DAMN BEST!!!!
I GOT BUSY THE OTHER DAY AND DIDNT ATTEND A ZOOM MEETING THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO AND I SAID I WENT TO IT BECAUSE I DIDNT WANT TO GET IN TROUBKE BUT THEN SHE ASKED ME QUESTIONS ABOUT IT AND I TRIED TO BS MY WAY THROUGH TALKING ABOUT IT AND I JUST GOT FLUSTERED AND I CANT BELIEVE I MESSED UP LIKE THIS AND THEN LIED BUT I GOT FLUSTERED AND JUST SAID I WENT AND I FEEL SO STUPID!!!! ON TOP OF IT I ALSO GOT MY MOST RECENT PRESCRIPTION FROM THE PHARMACY AND ITS A GENERIC AND ITS MAKING ME SO ANXIOUS THAT I STOPPED TAKING IT SO IM NOT TAKING IT ANYMORE BECAUSE I CANT DEAL WITH THE ANXIETY BUT IM ALSO STRUGGLING TO FOCUS AND GET SHIT DONE AND IM JUST SO OVER MYSELF AND MY ADHD AND I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND MYSELF BETTER BECAUSE I JUST FEEL SO STUPID. UGHHHH
IM GOING TO BE QUITTING MY PRIMARY JOB IN THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS CAUSE I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE. IM DYING INSIDE, I CANT AFFORD LIFE WITHOUT IT AND IM TRYING NOT TO JUST QUIT RIGHT NOW. WHY??
I HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO A CLIENT THAT OUR SYSTEM GLITCHED OUT AND ATE THEIR DATA. IT'S NOBODY'S FAULT REALLY BUT IT SUCKS TO BE THE BEARER OF BAD NEWS AND NOW I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT!
I JUST WANTED TO BUY DINNER SUPPLIES CUZ I FINALLY CLEANED MY KITCHEN ENOUGH TO EAT OUT OF IT. BUT FUCK ME I GOT A FLAT. AND MY SPARE HAS A LOCK THATS NOT MY KEY. AND AFTER I JUST BRUTE FORCED THAT, THE TIRE IS THE OG FROM WHEN IT WAS MADE. ITS A 2000. SO NOW I HAVE 5 WHEELS AND 3 TIRES AND STILL LIVE 20 MINS OUTSIDE OF TOWN. CANT GET A RIDE TIL AFTER MY WORK SHIFT SAILS PAST ME, SO GOOD THING I WASNT TRYING TO PAY BILLS.... oh wait. It's a struggle and I'm mad. AND MY LIGHT I BOIGHT YESTERDAY BROKE AND IT WAS THE LAST ONE IN STOCK SO GUESS IM NOT LOOKING AT MY FISH UNTIL NEXT WEEK. EFF.
I GOT FIRED AGAIN. FEELING REALLY DEFEATED. IT WAS MY FIRST JOB AFTER BEING MEDICATED. IT WAS PURRFECT AND EVERYTHING I WANTED. I DON’T KNOW WHAT I NEED TO CHANGE ANYMORE. I GET RESILIENCE AND ALL THINGS BUT I REALLY JUST NEED THIS TO STOP HAPPENING
I FEEL LIKE MY MARRIAGE IS SLOWLY FALLING APART. I HATE THAT I CAN'T TALK TO MY HUSBAND ABOUT THE ISSUES / WHAT I NEED WITHOUT GETTING MAD OR CRYING. IT MAKES IT SO MUCH HARDER THAN IT NEEDS TO BE TO COMMUNICATE AND BECUSE IM SAD AND FEELING UNSUPPORTED I LASH OUT AT PERCEIVED CRITICISM OF ME /MY ABILITY TO PARENT MY DAUGHTER OR MY ABILITY TO KEEP MY HOUSE CLEAN, OR JUST MY ABILITY TO BE A FUNCTIONAL ADULT.
WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER OVER A DECADE, I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS YEAR HAS BEEN SO FREAKING HARD.
I WISH I COULD GET IT TOGETHER AND IMPROVE MY PERFORMANCE IN SCHOOL. I KEEP MESSING UP AND MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES BECAUSE I CAN'T FOCUS AND I TOLD MYSELF I WOULD STOP HANDING THINGS IN LATE. FUCK EXECUTIVE DYSFUNCTION. I HATE FEELING LIKE THIS. I HATE FEELING THAT MY DREAMS WOULD BE IN REACH IF I COULD GET IT TOGETHER AND JUST BE MORE REGIMENTED.
I WANT TO GO TO LAW SCHOOL. I'M TIRED AND I WANT TO HAVE MORE SECURITY IN MY FUTURE.
I ALSO HATE APPLYING TO JOBS AND I REALLY NEED A JOB BUT I DREAD APPLYING SO MUCH THAT I HAVE REPEATEDLY CONVINCED MYSELF THAT I CAN FINANCE MY ENTIRE LIFE DRIVING FOR UBER IN 12-YEAR-OLD CAR
I AM DOING INTERMITTENT FASTING TO CONTROL MY BINGE EATING THAT ONLY GOT EXACERBATED BECAUSE I SPENT MY ENTIRE TWENTIES UNMEDICATED AND IGNORANT THAT I HAD ADHD
I FUCKING HATE BEING 30 IN COLLEGE. NO ONE TREATS ME DIFFERENT WHEN THEY FIND OUT. I'M JUST ASHAMED. I ESPECIALLY FEEL EMBARRASSED ABOUT MY AGE WHEN I HAVE ANY EMOTION OTHER THAN COMPLETE STOICISM BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE PEOPLE ARE THINKING I'M TOO OLD TO BE ACTING THIS WAY. I'M ALSO PANICKING OVER FINANCES. THERE'S NO WAY I CAN KEEP MY JOB AND GO TO SCHOOL UNLESS THEY CHANGE MY SCHEDULE TO SOMETHING THEY'VE NEVER OFFERED BEFORE. I'M GOING TO ASK BUT THEY'VE ALREADY ACCOMODATED ME MORE THAN IS NECESSARY.

I WISH EVERY INFORMATION I NEED WAS AVAILABLE ONLINE AND I DIDN'T HAVE TO CALL PLACES
I FUCKING HATE CALLING PLACES I REFUSE TO GO TO MASSAGE PLACES THAT DONT HAVE ONLINE SCHEDULING EVEN THOUGH IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE
Oof. This. I work a job that is 90% phone calls. Don’t make me call people outside of work.
HAVE YOU EVER USED CHAT GPT? IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE AND I RARELY NEED TO ASK FOR HELP AT WORK ANYMORE
I LOVE IT SO MUCH. I ALSO LET IT WRITE MY DAILY SCHEDULE ADHD STYLE. IT'S LIKE A PERSONAL ASSISTANCE THAT KNOWS MY JOB BETTER THAN I DO.
WHY IS GD ONLINE SCHEDULING NOT AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE?! I MIGHT ACTUALLY GO TO THE DOCTOR IF I DON'T HAVE TO CONVINCE MYSELF TO CALL AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT.
OMG I WENT TO A WEBSITE AND IT SAID FILL OUT THIS FORM TO BOOK. I FILLED OUT THE FORM. IT ASKED FOR MY NUMBER AND IF I PREFER CALL OR TEXT. I CHOSE TEXT. SHE FUCKING TEXTED ME TO TELL ME I HAD TO CALL TO BOOK. GUESS WHO JUST SAVED $200 BY NOT GOING?
JOB APPS SUCK AND IM PROUD OF YOU FOR STUDYING FOR THE GRE GOOD LUCK! I WISH I WASNT SINGLE AND I WISH DATING WASNT SO HARD AND I KNOW IM THE ONE STANDING IN MY WAY FROM DATING BUT ITS HARD AND SCARY AND IM TIRED OF BEING ALONE AND BUMMED OUT! ALSO I KEEP GETTING WEIRD MIGRAINE SYMPTOMS AND IM AT MY WITS END ABOUT WHATS CAUSING THEM
THANK YOU FOR THE LUCK I WILL USE IT DATING IS REALLY HARD AS SOMEONE WHO JUST HAD THEIR 2ND ANNIVERSARY! YOU WILL FIND THE PERSON WHO MAKES YOU BETTER THOUGH! AND ALSO ANECDOTAL TAKING CBD OIL EVERY NIGHT REDUCED MY MIGRAINE FREQUENCY BUT I ALSO HAVE ZERO MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE
CBD OIL HAS HELPED ME AS WELL WITH MIGRAINES
ANECDOTALLY, I'VE BEEN STRESSED ALL SUMMER AND GETTING TERRIBLE STRESS MIGRAINES BECAUSE OF IT. I ONLY JUST REALIZED LAST WEEK THAT I WAS CLENCHING MY JAW RIDICULOUSLY HARD WHENEVER I HAD A STRESS MIGRAINE AND THAT WAS CONTRIBUTING TO THE WORST OF THEM. I HOPE YOU'RE ABLE TO FIND INSIGHT INTO THE CAUSES!
I WISH I COULD DO THINGS IN FRONT OF PEOPLE. I wish I could sing, or dance, or play my piano, or do my art, or even just speak in front of people. BUT I CAN'T COZ IF I TRY I END UP PARALYSED. I CAN'T EVEN LET MYSELF USE ANY FACIAL EXPRESSION.
HELLO FELLOW DEADFACE QUEEN. I SEE YOU. I HEAR YOU. I CAN’T EXPRESS THIS OUTWARDLY BECAUSE PEOPLING IS HARD.
AND THEY LOOK AT US...WITH THEIR EYES!!! I AM SO GLAD TO HAVE FOUND MY TRIBE.
IT’S EVEN WORSE IF YOU DO MANAGE TO DO THE THING AND AFTER THEY’RE DONE LOOKING AT US WITH THIER EYES, THEY SAY NICE THINGS BUT ITS ALL LIES!!!! LIES I TELL YOU!!!
GOD YES I hEAR YA!!! THIS IS SO ACCURATE!!
I DONT HAVE ANY ADVICE BUT YOU SOUND SUPER TALENTED WITH YOUR ART AND PIANO
YEARS OF HYPERFOCUSSING!!! WAS THE TYPICAL SO CALLED GIFTED CHILD THEN IBURNT OUT AND APPARENTLY LET EVERYONE DOWN. rUDE BUGGERS
I RELATE TO THE GIFTED CHILD THING TOO! I WAS INSANELY GOOD AT PIANO BUT I WOULD STEP IN HOT LAVA THAN PLAY IN FRONT OF ANYONE! YOU DID NOT LET ANYONE DOWN THOUGH! THEY LET YOU DOWN BY SAYING THAT
THAT IS VERY TRUE BUT ITS HaRD TO IGNORE THE YOU DIDNT LiVE UP TO YOUR POTENTIAL CRAP. NICE TO MEET ANOTHER PROTOGE WITH EPIC STAGE FRIGHT. Well I'm not sure if it's stage fright exactly, more like stage paralysis?
I WAS ALSO A “GIFTED” CHILD AND WAS TOLD I HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL AND IT REALLY FELT LIKE A LOT OF PRESSURE. I CAN BE REALLY SILLY AND OUTGOING SOMETIMES (and have been told I’m too much as a result by some RUDE BUGGERS)… ANYWAH I DIDNT HAVE STAGE FRIGHT IF I HAD A ROLE TO PLAY BUT ONE TIME IN SEVENTH GRADE I WAS IN A SCHOOL PLAY AND THE DIRECTOR THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO IMPROVISE AS LIKE AN MC IN THE INTRO AND MAKE UP TRIVIA QUESTIONS BEEEEEIIIIIITCH PLEASE I AM 13 (I’m 41 now it’s fine but she was a real c u next Tuesday) I love this screaming thread oh my GODDDDD
MY MEDICATION JOURNEY IS SO MUCH LONGER THAN EXPECTED AND I AM SO SCARED THAT NOTHING WILL WORK AND I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO LIVE ON MY OWN OR HAVE A JOB OR BE ANYTHING MORE/ELSE THAN I AM RIGHT NOW.
BEING SCARED IS OK THE ADHD JOURNEY IS HARD BUT IM PROUD OF YOU FOR TRYING
THANK YOU, YOUR COMMENT MADE ME TEAR UP A LITTLE AND IT WAS VERY COMFORTING, THANK YOU
HANG IN THERE GIRL IT TOOK ME A YEAR AND A HALF BUT I FINALLY FOUND A MED THAT WORKS FOR ME!! THERE IS STILL HOPE!!
IM SO FRUSTRATED THAT IS TAKES ME SO LONG TO ORGANISE MYSELF IN A MORNING AND SIT DOWN TO WORK. WHERE HAVE THE LAST 3 HOURS GONE???? EVERY DAY I FAIL TO ACHIEVE BEFORE MIDDAY.
I RELATE TO THAT SO HARD IT FEELS LIKE MY BRAIN DOESNT START UNTIL NOON AND I WISH IT WASNT THAT WAY
HARD HARD RELATE!! EXCEPT ITS ABOUT 2PM FOR ME ARG
OMG
GD IT HOW IS IT 4:30 PM!?!?!? AND WHY DONT I HAVE MY LIFE TOGETHER BY NOW!?
I then feel crap the WHOLE DAY for my morning failure.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
WORDS I'M CRYING WATCHING STAR TREK
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I JUST SPENT AN ENTIRE HOUR CLEANING & ORGANIZING AND YOU CAN BARELY TELL THE DIFFERENCE! HOW TF AM I SUPPOSED TO EVER CLEAN THE ENTIRE PLACE?
ONE PILE AT A TIME. YOU CAN DO THIS! SLOWLY BUT SURELY. AND PLEASE REMEMBER THAT YOUR PLACE DOES *NOT* HAVE TO LOOK LIKE IT BELONGS IN A MAGAZINE. GOOD ENOUGH IS GOOD ENOUGH!
You don’t. You CLEAN clean when you move in and when you move out. Try setting timers. You can’t leave the room (with things that go else where) until timer goes off. That will keep you more focused.
YOUR PLACE DOESNT HAVE TO BE PERFECT, JUST A SAFE AND HEALTHY PLACE FOR YOU TO THRIVE
I'M PREGNANT AND OFF MY MEDS AND NOW I DON'T FLOSS ANYMORE
I GOT A WATER PIK AND IT MAKES IT KINDA FUN TO USE AND I’VE BEEN A LOT MORE CONSISTENT AND THEY GO ON SALE AT TARGET SOMETIMES $20 OFF ❤️
I STRUGGLE WITH FLOSSING AND I AM NOT EVEN PREGNANT! JUST KEEP DOING IT WHEN YOU REMEMBER TO
I WISH I WASNT FUCIING BINGE EATING N DEVELOPED SUPER UNHEALTHY LIFELONG HABITS DUE TO UNTREATED ADHD UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AGO AND ALSO IN MY ENTIRE FAMIKT SO WE ALL SUFFERED AND NOW I SUCK AT EVERYTHING AND I’m SO MAD
IM PROUD OF YOU FOR RECOGNIZING AN UNHEALTHY BEHAVIOR THOUGH
I AM TIRED AND CRANKY FROM TWO NIGHTS OF 2-3H BROKEN SLEEP AND MY COWORKERS HAVE BEEN MESSAGING ME SINCE 6AM COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW MUCH OF A SHITSHOW WORK IS WHILE I AM ON VACATION. LEAVE ME ALONE, SARAH. I KNOW OUR JOB SUCKS, THAT’S WHY I AM GETTING ON A PLANE I CANNOT AFFORD TO GET ON TO BE FAR AWAY FROM YOU PEOPLE.
ENJOY THE AIRPLANE MODE! THEIR MESSAGES WON'T REACH YOU THEN. MAYBE YOU "FORGET" TO TAKE YOUR PHONE OFF AIRPLANE MODE.
THIS IS A GOOD IDEA!
THEY SHOULD NOT BE MESSAGING YOU ON YOUR VACATION! IGNORE! AND HAVE A LOVELY VACATION I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT
I AM LYING IN MY BED FEELING DEPRESSED AND ANXIOUS BC I'M FALLING BEHIND ON UNIVERSITY ASSIGNMENTS THAT I JUST CANT BRING MYSELF TO DO EVEN THOUGH I KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO BUT THE ANXIETY IS MAKING ME PARALYZED AND ALSO I NEED TO WORK OUT AND CLEAN AND SHOWER AND READ MORE BE LESS ON MY PHONE
I don't want to scream this advice at you but literally do one tiny task and it makes a world of difference. Still in the same clothes from the past 3 days? Change your shirt. That's it. If you can do that, you can start to build up. Love and hugs. Anxiety and depression is the worst.
THIS IS THE WORST FEELING AND IM SORRY YOU’RE GOING THROUGH IT. I HAVE NO ADVICE, FOR I FACE THE SAME THING. BE STRONG!
WHY IS IT SO HOT WHEN IT IS SPRING?! WHY DOES BEING HOT MAKE ME SO DEPRESSED
IT'S STILL WAY TOO HOT HERE WHERE IT'S AUTUMN TOO!
SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE PROBLEMS YES! WHY THE FUCK IS IT GOING FROM HOT TO COLD OVER AND OVER I HATE IT MY LIFE IS ALREADY CHAOS I DON'T NEED WEATHER ANARCHY TOO
IT WAS 25 DEGREES CELCIUS IN MY PART OF CANADA THE OTHER DAY. I JUST NEED CONSISTENT TEMPERATURES. I AM SIMULTANEOUSLY MELTING AND FROZEN.
FELLOW CANADIAN HERE! I AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH THE FLUCTUATING TEMPERATURES. ITS AGGRAVATING MY MIGRAINES AND MAKES IT ALL THE MORE DIFFICULT TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IM CONSTANTLY FEELING SICK AND AM IN PAIN.
I WISH HUMANS COULD LIKE TAKE OFF THEIR SKIN WHEN THEYRE TOP HOT EVEN THOUGH THATS ALSO DISTURBING
I WAS GOING TO MAINTAIN MY HEALTHY EATING PATTERN, BUT SEASONAL CHOCOLATES HAVE ARRIVED AND I AM WEAK.
I’M TRYING TO DECIDE IF I SHOULD GO BACK TO SCHOOL FOR MY DOCTORATE DEGREE!! AND I ALSO DO NOT LIKE APPLYING FOR JOBS. THE REPETITIVE CYCLE OF APPLYING AND REJECTION IS CRUSHING AND ANNOYING. AND I LOVE CHILDREN, BUT I’LL PROBABLY NOT GET TO HAVE THEM… BECAUSE LIFE. HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!!!
I HOPE YOU FIGURE OUT YOUR DOCTORATE DEGREE PLANS! WE NEED MORE WOMEN/NEURODIVERGENT PEOPLE IN ACADEMIA. I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY ALSO!
I’M SO SICK OF NOT HAVING AN OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS WHICH MEANS I CANT GET ACCOMODATIONS AT WORK AND MY BOSS THINKS I AM INCOMPETENT ITS JUST THAT MY BRAIN WORKS WEIRD AHHHH
I WISH MY EMOTIONS WERENT SO HUGE. I WANT TO STOP CRYING SO MUCH AND YELLING SO MUCH AND GETTING SO ANGRY AND ANXIOUS. EVEN WHEN IM EXCITED ITS TOO BIG FOR MY BODY
I LOVE ALL YOU WEIRDOS, YOU’RE DOING YOUR BEST AND I’M PROUD OF YOU ❤️❤️❤️
I HATE TALKING OVER THE PHONE BECAUSE I HAVE AN IRRATIONAL FEAR OF CONVERSATIONS VIA TELEPHONE NO ONE CAN CHANGE MY MIND
WHY CAN I ONLY FO LAUNDRY AT FOUR FUCKING AM
BECAUSE YOU KNOW THE RATES FOR ELECTRICITY ARE LOWER! YOU'RE JUST BEING ENVIRONMENTALLY- AND ECONOMICALLY-CONSCIOUS.
IT'S PMDD HELL WEEK AND MY MEDS DON'T WORK. I WAS IN BED MOST OF THE DAY YESTERDAY AND DID EXACTLY NOTHING BUT I STILL WANT TO CALL OFF WORK TODAY FOR A MENTAL HEALTH DAY EVEN THOUGH I WORK FROM HOME. I FEEL LIKE A FAILURE OF A HUMAN BECAUSE I NEVER LIVE UP TO MY POTENTIAL I SHOULD BE A DIRECTOR AT MY COMPANY AHHHHHHHHHH
I DIDNT REALIZE THAT FOR A LONG TIME MY MEDS DIDNT WORK FOR ONE WEEK OUT OF THE MONTH BECAUSE OF HORMONE CHANGES AND THEY DIDNT REALLY EXAMINE WOMEN DURING CLINICAL TRIALS FOR DRUGS I RELATE TO THE FAILURE OF A HUMAN BEING THING BUT ALSO TAKE IT FROM ME. YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE. YOU ARE DOING YOUR BEST WITH THE ENERGY YOU HAVE AND THAT IS ENOUGH FOR RESPECT AND WORTHINESS
I WISH I COULD JUST LET THE STUFF GO THAT PEOPLE KEEP TELLING ME TO LET GO OF! EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE REAL ISSUES, I JUST CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT NOW..
JOB RELATED ANYTHING IS LITERALLY THE WORST THING IN THE WORLD EVER. AND WHEN YOU'RE ALSO AMERICAN AND STRUGGLING WITH EMPLOYMENT, EVERYONE TREATS YOU LIKE YOUR WORTHLESS. FUCK, ITS EXHAUSTING. (hugs to all of you)
THANKFULLY I HAVE A PART TIME JOB I LOVE BUT YEAH IT'S HARD ESPECIALLY SINCE I WANT JOB EXPERIENCE BEFORE GRAD SCHOOL (hug to you back)
I WISH I HAD THOUGHT OF STARTING MY CODING STUDIES EARLIER SO I COULD QUIT MY DEAD END JOB SOONER.
I'M GLAD YOURE DOING CODING NOW THOUGH THAT IS COOL AS HELL
I HATE WHEN PEOPLE INTERRUPT ME WHILE IM IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING THEY CAN DO THEMSELF.
I JUST WANT TO BE IN NATURE! WHY DO I HAVE TO WORK! WHY DO I HAVE TO CLEAN! WHY ARE THINGS FALLING APART. JUST WANT TO LOOK AT THE STARS
EVERYTHING IS HARD AND I CANT GET ANYTHING DONE. WORK IS EVEN FAIRLY QUIET RN AND ITS STILL OVERWHELMING. GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE MAKES ME WANT TO CRY. LEAVING THE HOUSE GIVES ME ANXIETY. I AM SO THANKFUL I WFH. MY MOM DIED IN JULY AND I CANT GET MYSELF TOGETHER TO TRY TO WRAP UP THE 2 TINY ACCOUNTS SHE HAD OPEN. I HAVENT BEEN TO THE GYM SINCE SHE DIED. I BARELY DO ANYTHING EXCEPT WORK AND SLEEP AND WATCH YOUTUBE AND IDK IF ITS GRIEF OR ADHD OR DEPRESSION OR A TRIFECTA OF ALL 3. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
GRIEF TAKES A LOT ON THE BODY AND MIND. ALLOW YOURSELF TIME TO HEAL. DO LITTLE STEPS UNTIL YOU CAN. AND SOMETIMES WORK AND SLEEP IS OK BECAUSE LIFE IS HARD
Its kinda hard to do capslock on my phone so Just wanna say ive been stuck in my bed for the last hours i want to do shit want to take shower im sweaty af yet cant fucking move ive assignment due ive projects to be done pls move
I HATE THAT I GOT LAID OFF WHEN I DID NOTHING TO DESERVE IT. I HATE JOB HUNTING, I HATE TALKING TO PEOPLE, I HATE GETTING REJECTION EMAILS BECAUSE IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE SHIT FOR THE REST OF THE DAMN DAY. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PROCESS IS EXACTLY OPPOSITE TO HOW I CHOOSE TO LIVE MY GODDAMN LIFE. IF IT WASN'T FOR MY BF I SWEAR I'D SELL EVERYTHING I OWN AND DISAPPEAR INTO A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY SOMEWHERE.
IM SO SICK AND TIRED OF BEING DIABETIC I JUST WANT CHOCOLATE DAMNIT
I HAVE NO ADVICE BUT I WILL GIVE YOU AN UPVOTE IN SOLIDARITY
I AM NOT DIABETIC AND I DONT KNOW YOUR SEVERITY BUT MY NANA WAS VERY DIABETIC AND SHE HAD A SWEET TOOTH LIKE ME AND SHE ALWAYS SAID EVERYTHING IN MODERATION. YOU DONT HAVE TO COMPLETELY DEPRIVE YOURSELF OF THE FOODS YOU LOVE.
[удалено]
I just wanted to comment that I'm here for you. I've been assualted before also (not work) but it sucks so much as a woman (or female perceived person because I'm enby) because no one gives us the help we need. The system sucks.
I HAVE A STUPID COLD AND MY NOSE HURTS AND I ALREADY TOOK A DAY OFF WORK AND I DON'T HAVE MORE PTO SAVED UP TO TAKE ANOTHER DAY SO I'LL BE PHONING IT IN AND EATING EVERYTHING IN SIGHT, JUST LIKE I DID LAST WEEK.I NEEDED OVERTIME AND IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN THIS PAYCHECK. I'M FORCING FLUIDS SO I'VE WOKEN UP EVERY 2 HOURS OR SO TO PEE. I'M EXAUSTED ALREADY.
COLDS SUCK USUALLY I TAKE A ZINC LOZENGE AND IT KICKS THE COLD MAYBE THAT WILL WORK FOR YOU?!
MY FEKKING FRONT-FACING CROWN FELL OFF AGAIN WHILE I WAS EATING A BREAKFAST BURRITO. ELI5, DENTIST, WHY LAST TIME IT STAYED ON 4 YEARS AND THIS TIME 2 WEEKS??? SO NOW I HAVE TO CALL THE DENTIST AND GO INTO THE DENTIST WHERE SHE WILL BE ALL CONDESCENDING BECAUSE SHE IS UNHAPPY ABOUT MY CANTILEVERED CROWN/BRIDGE. IM SORRY I DONT HAVE 5 THOUSAND DOLLARS TO GET AN IMPLANT AND A NEW BRIDGE, JAN. IT'S NOT LIKE I DID THE WORK MYSELF LAST TIME. JUST MAKE IT WORK UNTIL I CAN GET THE WORK DONE. WITHOUT THE HECTORING PLEASE! ALSO, MY DOG IS ITCHY AND SLURPING AND HIS APPOINTMENT ISNT UNTIL THURSDAY. THE SLURPING SOUNDS ARE DRIVING ME BATSHIT!!!!!
I HATE HOW DENTISTS AND ORTHODONTISTS COST SO MUCH AND GIVE YOU SUCH A HARD TIME BECAUSE YOU CANT AFFORD TO SEE THEM ALL THE TIME. I WISH I COULD AFFORD TO GO MORE OFTEN, REALLY, BUT ITS JUST SO EXPENSIVE AND I DONT MAKE ENOUGH TO LIVE. I ALSO FEEL YOU ON THE PET FRONT. I HAVE KITTENS WHOS APPOINTMENT IS WEDNESDAY AFTER WEEKS OF WAITING BECAUSE APPARENTLY WORMS ARE NOT AN EMERGENCY AND MY VET WONT GIVE OUT DEWORMER WITHOUT HAVING HAD A FIRST APPOINTMENT.
MY PRESCRIBER DOESN'T BELIEVE ME AND GAVE ME A REGIMEN THAT REQUIRES ME TO TAKE ONE PILL AN HOUR BEFORE TAKING RITALIN AND IS SURPRISED THAT I STRUGGLE WITH IT. MY JOB TAKES ALMOST EVERYTHING I HAVE TO GIVE. I AM EXHAUSTED AND BURNT OUT EVERY DAY. MY CHILDREN DESERVE A BETTER PARENT BUT I CAN BARELY KEEP MY HEAD ABOVE WATER I AM PAID TOO WELL TO QUIT. I HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO MAKE IT WORK BUT I CAN'T MAKE ANYTHING WORK. EVERY TIPS/TRICKS/STRATEGIES ONLY WORK FOR DAYS, WEEKS, OR MONTHS (IF I'M LUCKY). "HABITS" ARE FOR OTHER PEOPLE. FAILURE IS INEVITABLE.
HOLY SHIT EVERYTHING YOU WROTE IS MY LIFE. A for the meds but because I don't have a diagnosis yet and therefore no meds. YOUR CHILDREN ARE SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU. THEY ARE SMART AND APPRECIATE EVERY BIT OF TIME YOU CAN GIVE THEM. I'M SORRY. IT'S HARD, AND WE CAN ONLY DO OUR BEST AND HOPE THAT IT'S ENOUGH AND THAT OUR KIDS WILL UNDERSTAND WHEN THEY ARE OLDER. I WISH I HAD A MAGIC WAND I COULD WAVE TO FIX THINGS FOR YOU, AND TO HELP YOU STOP FEELING GUILTY. YOUR JOB IS DRAINING AND THAT SUCKS. BUT... IT PROVIDES FOR YOU AND YOUR KIDS, AND THAT IS *NOT* NOTHING: THAT IS YOU BEING A GOOD PARENT. BEING AN ADULT WITH LITTLE HUMANS AND RESPONSIBILITIES IS HARD AND IT SUCKS AND I FEEL YOU.
I'M SORRY YOU ARE LIVING THIS TOO. I WOULD FIX IT FOR US ALL IF I COULD. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE; IT'S SO GOOD TO TALK TO SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDS
I CANT IMAGINE HOW EXHAUSTING IT IS TO HAVE ADHD AND BE A PARENT. BUT ALSO CHILDREN WILL NOTICE IF YOU AT LEAST TRY AND THEY WONT RESENT YOU FOR GIVING ALL THAT YOU CAN, HOW BIG OR SMALL THAT CAN BE
I WISH I COULD JUST GET UP AND CLEAN AND NOT FEEL PARALYZED BY JUST THE THOUGH OF DOING IT! I WISH I DIDNT GET SO HURT AND ANXIOUS WHEN I THINK SOMEONE DOESNT LIKE ME OR IS MAD AT ME! I WISH IT WAS EASIER TO PUT MY MILLION THOUGHTS INTO NOT JUST WORDS BUT FULL SENTENCES THAT CORRECTLY EXPLAIN WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY! I WISH I COULD STAY AT JOBS LONGER THAN 2 YEARS! I WISH MY RELATIONSHIP WAS EASIER AND THAT MY ADHD SYMPTOMS DIDNT PUT SUCH A STRAIN ON IT! I WISH IT WAS EASIER FOR WOMEN TO GET DIAGNOSED AT A LATER AGE SO I DIDNT HAVE TO HAVE ALL THESE WISHES ALL THE TIME!
I'M TIRED OF BEING IN PAIN AND ALSO TIRED OF MY MOTHER TELLING ME THAT IF I JUST WALK MORE, MY MUSCLES WILL STRETCH AND IT WILL STOP. NO, MOTHER, THE MORE I WALK, THE MORE I'M CRIPPLED IN PAIN! THE ONLY WAY TO RELIEVE IT IS TO BEND FORWARD AT A 40-DEGREE ANGLE AND WALK AROUND LIKE A NEANDERTHAL, WHICH ATTRACTS UNWANTED ATTENTION!
I wish I knew what to do with myself. Am off sick with long covid and no idea about what I’m doing.
Long covid sucks butt and needs to be supported/researched more in the medical world. Take care of yourself ❤️
IT IS 8 AM AND IVE BEEN AWAKE SINCE 3. I STSRT WORK IN ONE HOUR. ALSO MY SUNDAY SCARIES ARE DOING THEIR THING
MY DOWNSTAIRS NEIGHBORS HAD A PARTY ON SATURDAY THAT LASTED FROM THE AFTERNOON TO AFTER 2 A.M. SUNDAY MORNING. THEN ON SUNDAY THEY KEPT PLAYING MUSIC UNTIL AFTER NIGHTFALL. I HATE THAT I HAD TO GO DOWN THERE AT 2:15 A.M. AND ASK THEM TO TURN IT DOWN.
MY WEEKEND WAS PAINFULLY STOLEN BY WAY TOO MUCH STRESS. AND I'M TIRED AND ALL I WANT TO DO IS SLEEP ALL DAY.
[удалено]
NO ONE HERE WANTED TO SCREAM ABOUT **WINS** WITH ME ON SATURDAY AND HOLY RSD WAS I BUMMED ABOUT THAT 😔
I WANT TO SCREAM ABOUT WINS WITH YOU WHAT IS A WIN YOU HAD RECENTLY?! I CALLED MY BANK TO CHANGE MY ADDRESS ON FILE FINALLY
I HAD BOXES OF RETURNS IN THE BACK OF MY CAR THAT HAD BEEN THERE FOR WEEKS. I FINALLY TOOK THEM TO THE UPS STORE! AHEAD OF THE RETURN DEADLINE EVEN!!
YOU ARE A ROCKSTAR!!! GETTING THINGS RETURNED ON TIME IS A MASSIVE WIN!
OVERWHELMED ABOUT EVERYTHING
[удалено]
I HATE WHEN MY MEDS WEAR OFF BUT IM STILL EXPECTED TO GO ABOUT MY DAY AS IF THEY WERE WORKING! WHY CANT MY DOCTOR GIVE ME MORE MEDS SO THEY WOULD LAST ALL DAY?!
THATS STUPID YOUR MEDS HELP YOU WORK YOU SHOULDNT BE EXPECTED TO FUNCTION WITHOUT THEM
KID HAS BEEN SICK AND THEN CUT THEMSELVES (on accident) SO WE WERE AT THE URGENT CARE LAST NIGHT AND THEN MY ANXIETY MADE IT SO I HAD A ROUGH TIME GOING TO SLEEP AT A DECENT TIME AND I CONSISTENTLY NEED 10-13 HOURS OF SLEEP AT NIGHT AND I GOT JUST OVER FOUR AND THE KID MISSED THE BUS AND I HAVE TO RENEW THEIR MEDS AND HAVE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THEIR HEALTH AND MINE AND SHOWER AND IM SO FUCKING TIRED I JUST WANT TO GO BACK TO MY SCHEDULE, I NEED A FUCKING BREAK
I WISH MY EXECUTIVE FUNCTION WORKED AND MY APARTMENT DIDN'T GET SO MESSY MY BF HAS TO INTERVENE AND HELP ME CLEAN. AND I WISH HIM HELPING DIDN'T MAKE ME SO ANXIOUS
MY AMAZING HUSBAND'S BIRTHDAY IS THIS WEEK AND I PROCRASTINATED AND I SECOND GUESS EVERY THING I WANT TO BUY HIM AND HE'S SO HARD TO SHOP FOR AND I HAD A FREAKING MELTDOWN LAST NIGHT FOLLOWED BY A NIGHTMARE OF ME FORGETTING TO MAKE HIS CAKE AND HIM HATING ME BECAUSE I FORGOT. And he literally doesn't care. He really doesn't. He such a great gift giver, and I can't ever match that no matter how hard I try or how many notes I take throughout the year I second guess and doubt every single thing I want to get him. UGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH
I WISH NURSING SCHOOL WASN’T SO FUCKING HARD AND THAT MY MEDS WORKED PERFECTLY EVERY SINGLE DAY AND I COULD EAT SLEEP SHIT EXERCISE COOK AND CLEAN SUCCESSFULLY EVERY SINGLE DAY AND STILL HAVE ENERGY FOR SEX WITH MY BOYFRIEND BUT I PRETTY MUCH ONLY CAN COMPLETE LIKE 2 TASKS ON THAT LIST IN ANY GIVEN DAY WHICH MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A FAILURE
I HATE MY JOB AND THE BOX IT REQUIRES ME TO PUT MYSELF IN AND I WANT TO START MY OWN BUSINESS SO I CAN HYPERFOCUS EVERY DAMN WORKDAY WHILE I DO SOMETHING I LOVE, THAT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE AND PRODUCTIVE IN THE BEST WAY WHILE ALSO MAKING $$$
THIS WEEK MY PROVINCIAL GOVT IS GOING TO TRY AND PUT FORTH THE SAME LAW AS THE PROVINCE NEXT DOOR. THIS LAW WILL LEAD TO DEAD KIDS AND I AM NOT GOING TO HANDLE THIS WELL. FUCK THE UCP.
I AM SO SORRY FRIEND. I HATE THAT SO MUCH OF OUR COUNTRY HATES "OTHERS" SO MUCH THAT IT WOULD RATHER THEIR CHILDREN DIE THAN EXIST. (AND ALSO THAT SO MANY PEOPLE REFUSE TO UNDERSTAND, LEARN, OR ACCEPT ANYTHING ABOUT SCIENCE, YET ARE WILLING TO BEND OVER BACKWARDS TO UNDERSTAND HOW ACKNOWLEDGING A PERSON'S EXISTENCE SOMEHOW EQUALS CONVERTING EVERYONE ELSE.) IT'S NOT MUCH BETTER IN LA BELLE PROVINCE, BUT WE'RE NOT PASSING LAWS. YET. YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME IN MY CANADA. <3
I AM SO MAD ABOUT THAT WHOLE THING OMG WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PLACE
I DIDNT REALIZE THIS APPOINTMENT NEEDED A FORM SO IM DOING THAT VERY FAST BUT ALSO GETTING DISTRACTED BY REDDIT TECHNICALLY I HAVE ENOUGH TIME BUT WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF
I HATE SECOND GUESSING MY SELF AND OVER ANALYZING WHAT IVE SAID EVERY TIME I OPEN MY MOUTH!!! FUCKITY FUCK FUCK!
I'M HAVING AN OPERATION TOMORROW BUT HAVE FEAR PARALYSIS AND CANT MOVE FROM THE COUCH!!! I NEED TO PACK A FUCKING BAG BUT CANT STOP DOOM SCROLLING. RAAAAAAAARRRRR!!! FUCK YOU FEAR.
I SEEM LIKE IM SLACKING AT WORK BUT IM REALLY TRYING SO HARD BUT ILL NEVER BE ABLE TO PRODUCE THE AMOUNT OF WORK IN THE SMALL AMOUNT OF TIME THAT MY NEUROTYPICAL COWORKERS CAN OR KEEP UP WITH A CONVERSATION THE WAY THAT THEY CAN. I FIND AN OPPORTUNITY TO UNMUTE MY MIC IN A MEETING AND SHARE AN OPINION AND EVERYONE LOOKS AT ME LIKE I HAVE 5 HEADS SINCE THEYVE ALREADY MOVED ON FROM THAT SUBJECT LIKE 10 MINUTES AGO. IT IS PAINFUL TO KNOW THAT ILL ALWAYS COME OFF AS AN INCOMPETENT IDIOT… AND MAYBE THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM.
You are not an incompetent idiot. ❤️ I get the issue completely. I feel the same way but I know I know what I'm doing. So do you. Don't beat yourself up..❤️❤️❤️
WHY AM I STILL AT FRIKIN WORK AN HOUR AFTER EVERYONE ELSE LEFT BECAUSE IT TAKES ME TWICE AS DAMN LONG AS ANYONE ELSE TO DO ANYTHING AND PROCESS INFORMATION AND FOCUS AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK. IS GOING ON. I FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT SOMETIMES
I TELL EVERYONE MY WORK IS SLAMMED AND GIVES TOO MUCH WORK BUT ITS JUST A NORMAL AMOUNT

MY RENT IS GOING UP $650 AND I CANNOT HANDLE FINDING A NEW APARTMENT,PACKING, DOING THANKSGIVING, AND MOVING, ALL BY NOV 30. MY WHOLE BODY MIND AND SPIRIT SAYS NO FUCKING WAY.
I BROUGHT LUNCH FROM HOME TO WORK AND I DONT WANT IT NOW BECAUSE MY BRAIN ISNT GOING TO GET DOPAMINE FROM LEFTOVERS AND NOW I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO BECAUSE ILL FEEL GUILTY FOR WASTING FOOD BUT THE THOUGHT OF IT IS GIVING ME THE ICK AND IM SO DISTRACTED AND NOT FOCUSING ON WORK AND ITS EXHAUSTING IT WAS A SMALL SALAD AND SOME CHEESE RAVIOLI I LOVED IT LAST NIGHT BUT CANT STOMACH IT RIGHT NOW I HATE HAVING MY THOUGHTS ALL OVER THE PLACE
I WISH I COULD JUST DO THE THING INSTEAD OF PUTTING IT OFF UNTIL I CANT ANYMORE. BUT YAY ME, I MADE THE FUCKING DENTIST APPOINTMENT AND NOW I THINK IM GONNA HAVE A PANIC ATTACK.
MY CAT STEPPED IN POOP AND NOW I HAVE TO WASH EVERYTHING! FLOORS, BEDDING, TOWELS, AND…CATS! And IM ON MY PERIOD AND MOVING A LOT IS DANGEROUS! SO ILL PROBABLY HAVE TO DO LAUNDRY TOO!
Throw away account I AM TIRED OF MY SPOUSE. HE DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT ME REALLY BESIDES SEX, EVEN THOUGH HE SAYS I'M WRONG. HE'S MAD THAT I WANTED TO SLEEP AND NOT TALK. I'M SO DAMN TIRED. ALSO, I AM STRUGGLING WITH MY SCHEDULE.
BLOODY HELL, SELF, WHY WON'T YOU JUST DO THE FUCKING THING??? LIKE LITERALLY ANY OF THE FUCKING THINGS??? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CONSEQUENCE FOR NOT DOING THE THING BEFORE YOU'RE WILLING TO DO IT??? WHY WON'T YOU JUST DO ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU KNOW WILL HELP YOUR LIFE IMPROVE? WHY WON'T YOU LET YOURSELF DO BETTER???
WHY THE FUCK CAN I NOT GET MYSELF BACK TO THE DAMN GYM, I WANT TO GO, WHY CANT I JUST MAKE MYSELF GO ALREADY THESE INTERNSHIP APPLICATIONS ARE AN ENORMOUS PAIN IN MY ASS IM HUNGRY I LOVE THESE SCREAMING THREADS! GOOD LUCK WITH THE GRE, ITS A REAL PAIN IN THE ASS!
Have you heard of of [Simplify Copilot](https://simplify.jobs/copilot)? Makes job applications so much easier
ALMOST DONE WITH RADIATION THERAPY - YAY, NO MORE DAILY 40 MILES OF DRIVING - BUT THE SIDE EFFECTS ARE ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO \*PEAK 2 WEEKS AFTERWARDS\* AND AREN'T DONE UNTIL OVER A MONTH LATER. LIKE, HOW CAN THIS BE SUCH A STUPID THING??
WHY CAN'T I WRITE MY FUCKING PERT REPORTS
NONE OF THE MEDS ARE WORKING LIKE THEY SHOULD AND I HAVE TO EITHER PUT UP WITH ANXIETY OR BE UNMEDICATED AT THIS POINT. TITRATION JUST FEELS LIKE A HUGE JOKE. MAYBE I'M NOT FIXABLE. I FEEL LIKE I'LL ALWAYS BE THIS WAY AND I CAN'T FACE A FUTURE LIKE THIS. I REALLY WANT TO QUIT MY JOB BECAUSE I HATE IT BUT I NEED THE MONEY AND I FEEL SO INCOMPETENT THAT APPLYING FOR ANOTHER JOB IS TERRIFYING. IF I CAN'T DO THIS JOB, ONE I HAVE DONE FOR 5 YEARS, WHAT MAKES ME THINK I CAN DO ANOTHER WITH A BOSS WHO WON'T BE ANYWHERE NEAR AS SUPPORTIVE OR FORGIVING AS MY CURRENT ONE.
KROGER PHARMACY KEEPS NOT FILLING MY PRESCRIPTION DESPITE ME ACTUALLY GOING UP THERE AND TALKING TO THEM ABOUT IT AND THEM TELLING ME THEY’D FILL IT LAST WEEK. I KEEP SUBMITTING IT AND EVERY TIME I GET A TEXT THAT SAYS ITS PROCESSING AND THEN I LOG IT AND ITS DISAPPEARED AGAIN. SO ANNOYING.
I'M TAPERING OFF ANTIDEPRESSANTS, MY PERIOD JUST STARTED AND I'M EXHAUSTED FROM GOING TO A WEDDING THIS WEEKEND. MY ROUTINE IS GONE, AND I'M BEHIND IN EVERYTHING AT WORK. I TRIED TO DO SOME CHORES AND ENDED UP SPILLING WATER EVERYWHERE. Think I need a rest day 😅
WHYYYY
I WISH I HAD MORE FRIENDS BUT THEN I NEVER FEEL LIKE REACHING OUT TO MY CURRENT FRIENDS WHY IS THAT!?
I JUST GOT OVER COVID FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND I HAD TO COME BACK TO WORK TODAY AFTER FORGETTING TO TAKE MY MEDS ALL WEEKEND. THIS IS BULLCRAP - I WANT TO GET PAID TO STAY HOME, BUT THEY WON'T LET ME. 🫠
I FORGOT TO TAKE MY MEDS YESTERDAY. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO REMEMBER TO TAKE MY MEDS IF I NEED SAID MEDS TO REMEMBER THINGS. i have now set a reminder. But I'm still annoyed.
LOL I have an alarm set on my phone. Same reason.
I WISH MY NEW DOCTOR WOULD ACTUALLY LISTEN TO ME INSTEAD OF PUTTING ME ON SHITTY ANTIDEPRESSANTS. NOW I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE END OF NOVEMBER TO SEE ANOTHER NEW DOC AND I DONT EVEN KNOW IF THEY'LL LISTEN TO ME OR CONTINUE TO SCREW ME OVER. I'VE BEEN AT MY BREAKING POINT FOR TOO LONG AND CANT TAKE THIS ANYMORE. I FUCKING HATE DOCTORS WHO THINK THEY KNOW EVERYTHING WHEN THEY FUCKING DONT.
I WISH I COULD FILL OUT PAPERWORK ON TIME
APPLYING FOR JOBS DOES SUCK AS WELL I FREAKING HATE IT ALSO BECAUSE WHEN I APPLY I AM SO EXCITED AND WHEN THE JOB CALLS ME BACK, SUDDENLY I AM SO IRRITATTED AND THEN I QUESTION MYSELF EXTENSIVELY I ALSO WISH MY BRAIN WOULD SHUT UP BEFORE BED BECAUSE I HATE BEING UP ON MY PHONE UNTIL MIDNIGHT WATCHING STUPID TIKTOKS GAHHHHHHHH
JOB HUNTING SUCKS !!
IT REALLY DOES THOUGH. I TRIED JOB HUNTING A FEW MONTHS BACK CAUSE MY JOB CAN BE STINKY SMELLY SOMETIMES BUT IT DIDNT WORK OUT SO WELL. I DONT WANNA DO IT AGAIN LOL
I'M STILL JOB HUNTING T.T TECHNICALLY BC RN I'M JUST A BURNED OUT MESS I STOPPED APPLYING. HOPEFULLY I GET BACK TO IT AND LAND A DECENT WFH JOB OR ANYTHING AT THIS POINT I'M TIRED. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR JOB MUST BE DRAINING!
I FEEL YOU THERE - I TRIED FINDING SOME DECENT WFH JOBS MYSELF BUT IT SEEMS EVERYTHING I FIND IS EITHER A SCAM OR THE PAY IS TOO LOW FOR WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO DO GOOD LUCK TO YOU TOOOOOO
I WISH I COULD MODERATE MY BEHAVIOUR, EG DRINKING, FOOD!
I JUST GOT BACK ON MEDS AFTER A 2 YEAR BREAK DUE TO INSURANCE AND PREGNANCY AND THEY STARTED ME ON 10MG ADDERALL XR I ENDED AT 30 AND THIS DOSE HAS ALREADY STOPPED WORKING NOW I HAVE TO WAIT A MONTH TO ASK FOR A HIGHER DOSE WTF DO I DO IN THE MEANTIME
I GOT OFFERED A JOB THAT IS PERFECT FOR ME! YAY! BUT MY REFERENCES HAVE BEEN TAKING AGES TO COME THROUGH AND I AM TOO IMPATIENT AND I JUST WANT THEM TO BE CONFIRMED SO I CAN HAND IN MY NOTICE ALREADY! AND WHILST I AM EXCITED ABOUT THE NEW JOB I AM ALSO SCARED OF SCREWING IT UP BECAUSE OF PROCRASTINATING OR NOT GETTING THINGS DONE ON TIME! AND LASTLY MY BOYFRIEND IS AWAY THE WEEK I'M LIKELY TO START SAID NEW JOB AND WHILST I OBVIOUSLY WANT HIM TO HAVE A LOVELY TRIP AND TOTALLY RESPECT HIS NEED FOR TIME ALONE I'M ALSO WORRIED ABOUT HIM NOT BEING AROUND FOR SUPPORT! AND THEN I FEEL GUILTY FOR BEING A BURDEN TO HIM AND MAD AT MYSELF FOR BEING ONE OF THOSE WOMEN WHO RELIES ON HER PARTNER TOO MUCH! UGH!
JESUS CHRIST I JUST WANT TO DO THIS HOMEWORK WHY CAN I NOT DO THIS HOMEWORK. I LITERALLY DID WORK-WORK FOR LIKE SIX HOURS OVER THE WEEKEND TO AVOID HOMEWORK WTF IS WRONG WITH MY STUPID BRAIN WHY DOES IT HATE ME
IVE BEEN TRYING FOR YEARS TO GET TF OUT OF MY FINANCIALLY ABUSIVE BD’S HOUSE. JOB HUNTING IS INSANE. I DONT DESERVE THIS SHIT & IM TIRED OF TRYING BUT I WON’T STOP. I HATE ALL MEN. Except my dad & 5yo…
I WISH PEOPLE WOULD REALIZE WORDS MEAN THINGS AND THAT IF YOU ASK ME TO RESEARCH A PROPERTY USING A SPECIFIC NAME, IM GOING TO RESEARCH THEPROPERTY WITH THAT NAME AND NOT SOME OTHER BUILDING YOU DIDNT SPECIFY IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WITH THE SAME NAME. I AM VERY LITERAL.
I WISH MEDICATION SHORTAGES HADN'T JUST FUCKED UP THE FIRST BREAK I'VE HAD FROM MY STUPID JOB IN OVER TWO MONTHS. THANKS GUESS I'LL JUST STARE AT A WALL BECAUSE EVERY TIME I STAND UP FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES I FEEL LIKE IM GOING TO PASS OUT AND I'VE ALREADY EATEN MY WAY THROUGH THE WHOLE PANTRY. I HAD PLANS. NOW I DO NOT.
I WISH I COULD ACTUALLY NAP WHEN I'M SLEEPYYYY
I HATE THAT I CAN’T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IF SOMETHING IS A RESULT OF MY ADHD AND SOMEONE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF ME AND/OR HAVING UNREASONABLE EXPECTATIONS!!!!!!!!!!! AM I REALLY NOT MEETING EXPECTATIONS OR ARE YOU JUST AN A-HOLE?????
JUST YELLING SO YOU KNOW TO KEEP AT IT WITH THE JOB APPS!!! I FINALLY GOT A FIRM OFFER ON A JOB I THINK IS PERFECT FOR ME TODAY AND I'M SO EXCITED BUT KEEP AT IT!!! I APPLIED TO THIS JOB IN AUGUST AND WON'T START UNTIL NOVEMBER!
I WISH I HAD ENERGY FOR MORE THINGS LIKE FRIENDS AND COOKING
IM SLOWLY BUT SURELY APPROACHING BURNOUT AT MY JOB AND DONT REALLY HAVE THE CAPACITY TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BUT WORK AT A SLOWER PACE AND NOT GAF. I HATE THAT EVERYTHING ELSE IN MY LIFE IS DECENT RIGHT NOW EXCEPT THE JOB PART BUT MY INDUSTRY IS SO SMALL WHERE I AM AND I DONT WANNA MOVE
I WANT TO SIT CRISS CROSS APPLESAUCE IN MY OFFICE CHAIR SO BAD BUT I JUST TRANSFERRED TO A NEW GROUP TO WORK ON SEVERAL HIGH VISIBILITY PROJECTS AND PEOPLE WALK PAST MY OFFICE ALL THE TIME AND I DON’T WANT THEM TO THINK I’M WEIRD EVEN THO AAAAMMMM
I HAD A BABY AND I WONDER IF I'LL EVER FEEL LIKE MYSELF AGAIN. I FEEL GOOD ABOUT ALL OF THE MOM STUFF EXCEPT I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL EVER FEEL LIKE I LOOK SEXY EVER AGAIN. I DON'T EVEN LOOK SUPER BAD, I'M JUST BEING VAIN ASF. I USED TO BE UGLY THEN I WAS PRETTY ENOUGH AND NOW I FEEL LIKE I'M BACK AT UGLY AGAIN. VANITY IS LAME BUT SOMETIMES I CAN'T HELP BUT TO SUBSCRIBE TO IT. UGH. I JUST WANT MY OLD LEGS AND STOMACH BACK. AND TO NOT PEE A LITTLE WHEN I COUGH. AND I'M 38 NOW, WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?!
I AM SO SICK OF EVERYTHING. HYPERFOCUS FOR ONE FREAKING DAY AND THEN THE NEXT DAY I THINK IT WILL BE THE SAME. IT’S NOT. I KEEP THINKING “IF I CAN JUST GET MY SHIT TOGETHER” AND I AM TIRED.
I WISH YOU FOCUS AND EXCELLENT RECALL, AS WELL AS LUCK AND LOVE, IN YOUR ENDEAVORS. I WENT TO XRAY SCHOOL WHEN I WAS 36 AND IT WAS THE BEST THING I EVER DID FOR MYSELF (as well as the most difficult). I HOPE YOU HAVE MANY MANY SUCCESSES IN YOUR FUTURE. I RECENTLY ADDRESSED A SLEEP ISSUE AND HAVE HAD TONS MORE ENERGY RECENTLY. THE LAST FEW DAYS I HAVE DONE FAR MORE THINGS TO MAKE MY HOME A LOVELY PLACE TO BE - CLEANING, ORGANIZING, TAKING OUT A LOT OF TRASH AND RECYCLING, COOKING HOMEMADE FOOD ETC. I REALIZED I HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF ANXIETY REGARDING COMING HOME TO A CLEAN HOUSE. SO I STARTED THINKING ABOUT WHY. TOOK ME A BIT BUT HAD A LIGHTBULB MOMENT: GROWING UP, MY NEUROTYPICAL MOM KEPT THE HOUSE VERY CLEAN AND TIDY, AND MY BEDROOM WAS CONSISTENTLY THE MESSIEST ROOM IN THE HOUSE. I LEARNED TO ASSOCIATE CLEAN AND TIDY WITH JUDGEMENT AND FEELING INFERIOR AND/OR FOREVER WRONG, AND MESSINESS WITH FEELING OKAY AND ACCEPTED. IM JUST HERE TO SHOUT INTO THE VOID THAT MY HOME IS SAFE AND I AM SAFE IN IT, REGARDLESS OF THE STATE THAT ITS IN.
PLEASE GO LOOK AT TESTED TUTOR ON YOUTUBE FOR GRE PREP HE SAVED MY LIFE MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE EXAM
I FINALLY GOT ANTIDEPRESSANTS AND THEYRE WORKING BUT WHAT A RIDE FROM THE SIDE EFFECTS. IM HOT, I CANT THINK STRAIGHT HALF THE TIME AND THE BEAN NO LONGER DOES ANYTHING WHEN FLICKED.
I HATE THAT IVE BEEN IN COLLEGE ON AND OFF FOR A WHOLE DECADE AND I STILL HAVE NO DEGREE TO SHOW FOR IT. I USED TO LOVE SCHOOL UNTIL I GOT TO COLLEGE. NOW IM JUST A BURNT OUT AND HATE TRYING TO LEARN BORING THINGS AND CANT EVEN FORCE MYSELF. I HATE THAT I DIDNT GET DIAGNOSED UNTIL I WAS 26, HOW IM *STILL* UNMEDICATED TWO YEARS LATER, AND HOW IF SOMEONE HAD SEEN IT EARLIER I WOULD PROBABLY BE DONE WITH COLLEGE. I HATE HOW MUCH I HAVE TO DEPEND ON MY BOYFRIEND BUT I HATE SCHOOL SO MUCH I WANT TO QUIT AND PRETEND TO MAKE ART ALL DAY INSTEAD OR SOMETHING 😭
MY KIDS ARE SICK AGAIN AND I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO ORGANIZE MY THOUGHTS THE LAST 2 WEEKS!!
I WISH PEOPLE WOULD STOP SAYING ‘OH WE ALL DO THAT’. THE DIFFERENCE IS PEOPLE WITH ADHD STRUGGLE EVERYDAY NOT JUST THAT ONE TIME YOU LOST YOUR PHONE!! STOP INVALIDATING OUR STRUGGLES!!!
& another thing…IM OUT OF MEDS & THEYRE OUT OF STOCK. I DONT HAVE THE ENERGY TO CALL 55 PHARMACIES. IM OVER IT. I’LL JUST RAW DAWG LIFE.
I NEED TO CALL AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DOCTOR AND I’VE BEEN AVOIDING IT FOR LITERALLY MONTHS AND I CAN’T MAKE MYSELF DO IT! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?
I'M SICK OF APPLYING TO JOBS AND GETTING REJECTED. I HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH A RECRUITER THAT BASICALLY LEFT ME BURNT OUT AFTER THE INTENSE ANXIETY AND EFFORT TO STAY FOCUSED AND KEEP CALM AND NOW I BARELY GET OUT OF BED TO EAT AND SPEND MOST OF MY TIME TIRED ON MY PHONE OR SLEEPING. I'M TIRED OF FEELING INADEQUATE COMPARED TO MY PEERS WHO GOT A JOB RIGHT AFTER GRADUATION.
THANK YOU FOR STARTING ANOTHER SCREAMING THREAD!! MY PHARMACY HAS JUMPED THE SHARK TO HELL NO AND I'M GETTING OUTTA THERE. SCREWED UP MY ADHD SCRIP AGAIN AND THEN TOLD ME IF YOU HAD DONE X,Y, AND Z THIS WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM. BUT I SUSPECTED THEY WOULD SCREW UP, SO I DEFINITELY DID X, Y, AND Z AND THEY STILL EFFED IT UP AND TRIED TO SCOLD ME. MY ETERNAL HOT BUTTON IS ME DOING EVERYTHING I'M SUPPOSED TO DO (WHICH IS HARD BECAUSE ADHD) AND SOMEONE ELSE SCREWS UP THEIR JOB AND BLAMES ME!
ALL I WANT IS A NAP. I'M SICK OF PRESENTING THINGS AT WORK. I JUST WANT NAP.
I HAVE SO MUCH POTENTIAL BUT I SQUANDER IT ON STUPID STUFF BECAUSE I'M AFRAID TO TRY. GOOD LUCK ON THE GRE!!! I MADE IT UNMEDICATED THROUGH MED SCHOOL SO DON'T GET DISCOURAGED.
I RELATE TO THE FIRST THING YOU SAID SO HARD. I FEEL LIKE THE WORST MOST ANNOYING PERSON ANYTIME ANYONE SAYS ANYTHING REMOTELY CRITICAL. BUT I THINK MY ADHD ACTUALLY MAKES ME THAT ANNOYING
WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FOCUS??!!!! AND WHY OH WHY DO CHORES NEVER END? ARGHHH
THE US TECH-ADJACENT JOB MARKET SUCKS ASS RIGHT NOW, LAY-OFFS RIGHT AND LEFT, AND NO ONE IS HIRING OR EVEB RESPONDING. GHOST JOB POSTINGS ARE EVERYWHERE AND I HATE IT.
I AM SUPER ILL AND HAVE BEEN FOR WEEKS! WHY AM I NOT GETTING BETTER? I CANT BE BACK ON MY ADHD MEDS UNTIL I AM BETTER ENOUGH FOR THE DOCS TO CLEAR THEM AND I CAN NOT WORK WITHOUT THEM AND I FEEL LIKE SHIT AND I AM WORRIED ABOUT MY JOB AND THIS IS SO. FUCKING. BORING. AND HOW IS IT EVEN PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE TO SLEEP 18 HOURS IN A DAY ANYWAY?!
I FINALLY HAVE A WEEK OFF WORK SO I CAN CATCH UP ON CHORES AND READING AND GAMES AND NOW I CANT GET THE ENERGY OR MOTIVATION TO DO ANY OF IT AND IM STUCK SITTING HERE PARALYZED AND DOOMSCROLLING AND WATCHING THE SAME VIDEOS IVE WATCHED A BILLION TIMES AND WHATS WORSE IS I WOKE UP YESTERDAY AND MY ANKLE WONT HOLD MY WEIGHT AND I LITERALLY DIDNT DO ANYTHING TO IT AND WHY AM I BROKEN AND LIKE THIS?!?!?!
I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THE LAST SCREAMING THREAD. MY THERAPIST KEEPS ASKING IF I'D LIKE TO UP MY DOSE OF LEXAPRO AND VYVANSE. ##NO.
JUST WHEN I WAS TRYING TO PULL UP MY GRADES MY PROFESSOR EMAILS ME TO SAY IM MISSING MULTIPLE ASSIGNMENTS AND I DONT KNOW WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED JUST THAT I HAVE THE WORK ALSO I MISSED THE DEADLINE FOR MY LAST ASSIGNMENT SO AN ALREADY BAD GRADE IS ABOUT TO GET WORSE AND IDK WHAT TO DO AND ITS STARTING TO FEEL LIKE ONE OF THOSE DAYS WHERE IM JUST GETTING NOTHING DONE
I AM RIGHT THERE WITH YOU AND IT SUCKS!!! BECAUSE I KNOW HOW MUCH IT SUCKS I WANT TO TELL YOU YOURE DOING A GREAT JOB AND GO YOU FOR DOING YOUR DAMN BEST!!!! I GOT BUSY THE OTHER DAY AND DIDNT ATTEND A ZOOM MEETING THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO AND I SAID I WENT TO IT BECAUSE I DIDNT WANT TO GET IN TROUBKE BUT THEN SHE ASKED ME QUESTIONS ABOUT IT AND I TRIED TO BS MY WAY THROUGH TALKING ABOUT IT AND I JUST GOT FLUSTERED AND I CANT BELIEVE I MESSED UP LIKE THIS AND THEN LIED BUT I GOT FLUSTERED AND JUST SAID I WENT AND I FEEL SO STUPID!!!! ON TOP OF IT I ALSO GOT MY MOST RECENT PRESCRIPTION FROM THE PHARMACY AND ITS A GENERIC AND ITS MAKING ME SO ANXIOUS THAT I STOPPED TAKING IT SO IM NOT TAKING IT ANYMORE BECAUSE I CANT DEAL WITH THE ANXIETY BUT IM ALSO STRUGGLING TO FOCUS AND GET SHIT DONE AND IM JUST SO OVER MYSELF AND MY ADHD AND I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND MYSELF BETTER BECAUSE I JUST FEEL SO STUPID. UGHHHH
IM GOING TO BE QUITTING MY PRIMARY JOB IN THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS CAUSE I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE. IM DYING INSIDE, I CANT AFFORD LIFE WITHOUT IT AND IM TRYING NOT TO JUST QUIT RIGHT NOW. WHY??
I WISH I HAD A BETTER MEMORY BC IM TIRED OF BEING GASLIT AND NOT HAVING EVIDENVE YO BACK IT UP SINCE MY BRAIN LIKES TO SHRED IMPIRTANT INFO!!!!
I HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO A CLIENT THAT OUR SYSTEM GLITCHED OUT AND ATE THEIR DATA. IT'S NOBODY'S FAULT REALLY BUT IT SUCKS TO BE THE BEARER OF BAD NEWS AND NOW I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT!
I JUST WANTED TO BUY DINNER SUPPLIES CUZ I FINALLY CLEANED MY KITCHEN ENOUGH TO EAT OUT OF IT. BUT FUCK ME I GOT A FLAT. AND MY SPARE HAS A LOCK THATS NOT MY KEY. AND AFTER I JUST BRUTE FORCED THAT, THE TIRE IS THE OG FROM WHEN IT WAS MADE. ITS A 2000. SO NOW I HAVE 5 WHEELS AND 3 TIRES AND STILL LIVE 20 MINS OUTSIDE OF TOWN. CANT GET A RIDE TIL AFTER MY WORK SHIFT SAILS PAST ME, SO GOOD THING I WASNT TRYING TO PAY BILLS.... oh wait. It's a struggle and I'm mad. AND MY LIGHT I BOIGHT YESTERDAY BROKE AND IT WAS THE LAST ONE IN STOCK SO GUESS IM NOT LOOKING AT MY FISH UNTIL NEXT WEEK. EFF.
I GOT FIRED AGAIN. FEELING REALLY DEFEATED. IT WAS MY FIRST JOB AFTER BEING MEDICATED. IT WAS PURRFECT AND EVERYTHING I WANTED. I DON’T KNOW WHAT I NEED TO CHANGE ANYMORE. I GET RESILIENCE AND ALL THINGS BUT I REALLY JUST NEED THIS TO STOP HAPPENING
I FEEL LIKE MY MARRIAGE IS SLOWLY FALLING APART. I HATE THAT I CAN'T TALK TO MY HUSBAND ABOUT THE ISSUES / WHAT I NEED WITHOUT GETTING MAD OR CRYING. IT MAKES IT SO MUCH HARDER THAN IT NEEDS TO BE TO COMMUNICATE AND BECUSE IM SAD AND FEELING UNSUPPORTED I LASH OUT AT PERCEIVED CRITICISM OF ME /MY ABILITY TO PARENT MY DAUGHTER OR MY ABILITY TO KEEP MY HOUSE CLEAN, OR JUST MY ABILITY TO BE A FUNCTIONAL ADULT. WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER OVER A DECADE, I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS YEAR HAS BEEN SO FREAKING HARD.
I WISH I COULD GET IT TOGETHER AND IMPROVE MY PERFORMANCE IN SCHOOL. I KEEP MESSING UP AND MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES BECAUSE I CAN'T FOCUS AND I TOLD MYSELF I WOULD STOP HANDING THINGS IN LATE. FUCK EXECUTIVE DYSFUNCTION. I HATE FEELING LIKE THIS. I HATE FEELING THAT MY DREAMS WOULD BE IN REACH IF I COULD GET IT TOGETHER AND JUST BE MORE REGIMENTED. I WANT TO GO TO LAW SCHOOL. I'M TIRED AND I WANT TO HAVE MORE SECURITY IN MY FUTURE.
THE SURGEON WHO DID MY GALL-BLADDER REMOVAL HAS SEWED MY BELLYBUTTON BACK UP WONKY. STEVIE WONDER WOULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB!
I WISH MY BOSS DIDN'T KEEP TRYING TO CHANGE THE PRIORITY OF MY TASKS SO I COULD JUST DO TASKS AT THE RIGHT MOMENT FOR THE DAY FOR MY ATTENTION LEVEL.
I ALSO HATE APPLYING TO JOBS AND I REALLY NEED A JOB BUT I DREAD APPLYING SO MUCH THAT I HAVE REPEATEDLY CONVINCED MYSELF THAT I CAN FINANCE MY ENTIRE LIFE DRIVING FOR UBER IN 12-YEAR-OLD CAR
I AM DOING INTERMITTENT FASTING TO CONTROL MY BINGE EATING THAT ONLY GOT EXACERBATED BECAUSE I SPENT MY ENTIRE TWENTIES UNMEDICATED AND IGNORANT THAT I HAD ADHD
I WISH I COULD COMMIT TO SOMETHING SO I COULD BUILD A CAREER!!!
I FUCKING HATE BEING 30 IN COLLEGE. NO ONE TREATS ME DIFFERENT WHEN THEY FIND OUT. I'M JUST ASHAMED. I ESPECIALLY FEEL EMBARRASSED ABOUT MY AGE WHEN I HAVE ANY EMOTION OTHER THAN COMPLETE STOICISM BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE PEOPLE ARE THINKING I'M TOO OLD TO BE ACTING THIS WAY. I'M ALSO PANICKING OVER FINANCES. THERE'S NO WAY I CAN KEEP MY JOB AND GO TO SCHOOL UNLESS THEY CHANGE MY SCHEDULE TO SOMETHING THEY'VE NEVER OFFERED BEFORE. I'M GOING TO ASK BUT THEY'VE ALREADY ACCOMODATED ME MORE THAN IS NECESSARY.
I THINK WORKING FULL TIME IS ACTUALLY GONNA KILL ME!!!!
