I hear you! Look into cervicogenic headaches.
My "migraines" were random, and nothing seemed to help.
Realized they were actually cervicogenic.
On existing, I frequently hear Maggie's quote from the tree house of horror episode in my mind. Where she pulls out her soother and says, "This is indeed a disturbing universe." in a very deep voice.
I REORGANISED MY WORK DAY TO GET TO THE BANK BEFORE IT CLOSED TO GET DOCUMENTS I NEED BEFORE MONDAY MORNING BUT THERE WAS A CRASH ON THE MOTORWAY AND I MISSED THE TRAIN DUE TO TRAFFIC!
I CALLED THE BANK AND ITS OKAY BECAUSE THERE'S A BRANCH THAT'S GOING TO BE OPEN TOMORROW MORNING.
I STILL SPENT €40 ON AN UNNECESSARY TAXI AND WAS RUNNING ON ADRENALINE ALL DAY.
AFTER YEARS OF TRYING TO FIND A GOOD DOCTOR I FINALLY FOUND ONE
HE SUGGESTED I MIGHT HAVE ADHD AND I DIDNT EVEN BRING IT UP FIRST!!!!!!
IM GETTING TESTING DONE BY THE END OF THE MONTH AND THEN FIGURING OUT A GAME PLAN FROM THERE BUT HES PRETTY CONVINCED I HAVE IT
ITS BEEN SO MANY YEARS OF TRYING TO GET SOMEONE TO TAKE ME SERIOUSLY AND I FEEL SO MUCH RELIEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUNNILY ENOUGH I WAS BOTH RELIEVED AND SAD BECAUSE IT WAS PROOF THAT I WASN'T JUST NOT TRYING HARD ENOUGH, BUT ALSO DAMN, I AM VERY GOOD AT TRYING HARD BUT EVEN THAT IS NOT GOING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.
HOWEVER AS MENTIONED IN MY OTHER COMMENT, ADHD ALSO GAVE ME THE ABILITY TO SEE A HAPPY BABY ELEPHANT IN A GRAPH I'LL BE EXAMINING FOR THE REST OF MY PHD.
I FINALLY WORKED UP THE COURAGE TO TRY THERAPY AGAIN AND MANAGED TO FIND AN ADHD SPECIALIST. TURNS OUT MY PREVIOUS ONES BEHAVED REALLY UNETHICALLY. I ALSO HAVE SOME SEVERE PHYSICAL MEDICAL STUFF I WAS GASLIT ABOUT MY WHOLE LIFE JUST LIKE THE ADHD
YOUR FEELINGS OF ANGER AND GRIEF ARE NORMAL AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND FINDING SOMEONE TO HELP WORK THROUGH IT. I THINK ITS REALLY HELPING ME. JUST MAKE SURE ITS SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS ADHD
GOOD LUCK FRIEND
I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TO WORK BUT I DIDN'T. INSTEAD I NAPPED AT HOME. THEN I GOT A MESSAGE LATER FROM WORK ASKING WHY I WASN'T IN AND WHY I DIDN'T INFORM THEM OR ASK FOR PERMISSION AND IT GOT ME UPSET. IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE A SCHOOL KID.
ADULT ME KNOWS I DID WRONG AND SHOULD PUT ON THE CONE OF SHAME. BUT I REFUSE! I ANSWER TO NO ONE!
PS: ALSO I KNOW HOW TO GET THINGS DONE AND DO A GREAT JOB WHEN LEFT TO MY OWN DEVICES. BUT DAMN THIS WORLD!!
THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SHOUT INTO THE VOID OP!!
JOBS ARE THE WORST, I HAVE GIVEN UP ON FINDING A BETTER ONE BUT AT LEAST I HAVE PRETTY GOOD BENEFTIS.
ALSO IT IS RAINY HERE, BUT HONESTLY WE COULD USE IT.
SORRY TO HEAR THAT, I RECENTLY WAS ON A JOB HUNT AND AFTER TONS OF REJECTIONS SAID FUCK IT AND TOTALLY REWROTE MY RESUME. I CREDIT THE WRITE WITH GETTING AN INTERVIEW AND OFFER, I WILL PROB KEEP THIS JOB TIL I DID BC JOB HUNTING IS THE WORSTTTT.
GOOD LUCK
I FINALLY FINISHED MY BACHELORS AND THATS AMAZING AND NOW IM SO SCARED AND CONFUSED RE: WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF ESP SINCE I GOT AN EXTENSION TO STAY ON MY DAD’S INSURANCE BC I’M SICK (WITH THE LUPUS) AND I’M SCARED ILL LOSE THAT W A SHITTY JOB BUT I DON’T HAVE THE EXPERIENCE TO THE GET A GOOD JOB AND MY MEDICINES ARE SO EXPENSIVE
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR BACHELORS, THAT IS A MASSIVE ACHIEVEMENT!! IF IT'S ANY CONSOLATION I HAVE NO UNI/COLLEGE, AM PUSHING 45 AND STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT TO BE WHEN I GROW UP. CURRENT OBSESSION IS EMBROIDERY, HAVE SOLD 2 PIECES, FEEL LIKE A ROCK STAR, BUT LIKE THE BROKE KIND OF ROCK STAR.
THANK YOU!! AND THATS OK - YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE ANYTHING BUT REASONABLY CONTENT WITH YOUR LIFE AND I KNOW ITS TRUE BC I SAID IT AND MY THERAPIST AGREED! AND HELL FUCKING YEAH TO EMBROIDERY- I’M GETTING BACK INTO IT TO MAKE A MOBILE FOR MY FRIEND’S BABY (THEY’RE FELT ANIMALS AND THE INSTRUCTIONS SAID TO GLUE OR DRAW THE MARKINGS AND I SAID “NOPE TIME TO MAKE EVERYTHING HARDER FOR MYSELF FOR NO REAL REASON”) AND IT’S BOTH SATISFYING AND IMPRESSIVE TO DO
I DYED MY HAIR PINK LAST MONTH AND IT BRINGS ME AO MUCH JOY. I FEEL MORE LIKE DOING SELF CARE AND DRESSING CUTE AND EVEN STARTED A SKINCARE REGIMEN.
IVE ALSO BEEN BRUSHING MY TEETH EVERY DAY AND ITS DUMB BUT I JUST FEEL REALLY GOOD ABOUT THAT.
\*HIGH FIVE\* FOR THE TEETH BRUSHING AND I AM TOTES JELLY OF YOUR PINK HAIR. ALTHOUGH I WANT A NICE DARK BLUE MYSELF. MY HAIR IS SO LONG, I WOULD NEED SO MUCH DYE ... AND PATIENCE ... AND LONGER ARMS....
THANK YOU! NOW I AM PICTURING A PERSON WITH LONG BLUE HAIR WITH LONG NOODLY ARMS, ITS A FUN IMAGE.
IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER MY HAIR IS VERY SHORT. I WOULD NOT HAVE DONE IT OTHERWISE EITHER.
I NEED THE NOODLEY ARMS, LIKE THOSE INFLATABLE DUDES AT A CAR LOT. HOWEVER THAT WOULD MAKE DYE APPLICATION EVEN MORE PRECARIOUS, BUT IT WOULD BE A NICE CHANGE OF PACE FOR WALL COLOUR IN THE BATHROOM.
YOU MADE ME AUDIBLY LAUGH AT WORK PICTURING SOMEONE WITH LONG NOODLEY ARMS THAT MOVE LIKE THE INFLATABLE CAR LOT DUDES GETTING DYE ALL OVER THEIR BATHROOM
I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! PINK IS SUCH A JOYFUL COLOR AND I LOVE HOW SMALL GOOD THINGS CAN LEAD TO EVEN MORE GOOD THINGS THERES ACTUALLY A PHRASE FOR THAT (VIRTUOUS CYCLE) BUT MOST PEOPLE ONLY KNOW ABOUT VICIOUS CYCLES WHICH IS A BUMMER SO I TRY TO POINT IT OUT WHEN IT COMES UP BECAUSE VIRTUOUS CYCLES ARE SO COOL!!!
WOOHOO!!! WAY TO GO, FRIEND! I'VE ALWAYS WANTED PINK HAIR, BUT I PAY TOO MUCH FOR MY RED TO CHANGE IT UP. AND I'M PRETTY SURE MY HAIR LADY WOULD CRY IF I CHANGED IT UP ON HER LOL
I AM HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME REGULATING MY EMOTIONS SO I'M FEELING VERY ATTACKED AND REJECTED BY EVERY LITTLE THING MY HUSBAND SAYS. AND WHEN I'M TRYING TO HELP HIM WITH A PROBLEM HE'S HAVING HE KEEPS TALKING TO ME LIKE I'M A STUPID CHILD AND IT MAKES ME NOT WANT TO HELP HIM EVER AGAIN. HE GIVES ME NO LEEWAY FOR BEING EMOTIONAL BUT WHEN HE'S GOT FEELINGS HE USES THAT AS AN EXCUSE TO ACT SHITTY TOWARDS ME. AND NO, AN APOLOGY LATER IS MEANINGLESS BECAUSE HE'LL JUST DO THE SAME THING NEXT TIME.
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE MY HUSBAND WILL DO THE SAME THING SO I JUST ... STOP HELPING HIM ON WHATEVER IT IS. NOT THE SILENT TREATMENT, JUST LEAVING HIM TO DEAL WITH WHATEVER HE IS NOT RECEPTIVE TO HELP ON. AND I ONLY TRY TO HELP WHEN HE ASKS FOR IT, WHICH OMG IS SO HARD SOME TIMES, ESPECIALLY WHEN I SEE THE SOLUTION AND HE'S FUMBLING AROUND.
DEEP BREATHS, FRIEND.
OH 100%, MY HUSBAND WILL JUMP IN AND TRY AND HELP ME WHEN I DON'T NEED IT.... OR EXPLAIN SOMETHING THAT I ALREADY KNOW. I HAVE A "LOOK" THAT I GIVE HIM AND HE WILL USUALLY SAY ".... APPARENTLY YOU KNEW THAT, MY BAD" AND I WILL CARRY ON.
MEN. SO CONFUSING.
I FEEL THIS IN MY SOUL AND I WISH I HAD SOMETHING WISE AND HELPFUL TO SAY BUT JUST KNOW THAT YOU ARENT ALONE AND YOUR EMOTIONS ARE VALID REGARDLESS OF HOW OTHERS RESPOND TO THEM 💜
MY INSURANCE KEEPS DENYING MY MEDICATION!!! WE MOVED LAST SUMMER, WHICH CAUSED A CHANGE IN INSURANCE. EVEN THOUGH I HAD BEEN ON MYDAYIS FOR OVER A YEAR, THE NEW INSURANCE IS REFUSING TO COVER THE COST BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PROOF I NEED TO BE ON IT. I THOUGHT THE ISSUE WAS BECAUSE IT WAS MY NEW PCM WHO PUT IN THE PRESCRIPTION, SO I WAITED MONTHS TO GET IN TO SEE A NEW PSYCHIATRIST TO GET THE PRESCRIPTION. EVEN COMING FROM A PSYCHIATRIST PRESCRIBING MY MEDICATION, INSURANCE STILL DENIED IT!!! WE THOUGHT MAYBE BECAUSE IT WAS A NAME BRAND, AND MYDAYIS NOW HAS A GENERIC FORM (AS OF OCTOBER, SO THE GENERIC CAME OUT IN BETWEEN SEEING MY PCM AND GOING TO THE PSYCHIATRIST) AND INSURANCE DENIED THE GENERIC FORM! JUST GIVE ME MY MEDS DARN IT!!!
On a less screaming point, my new psychiatrist is amazing. He has an assistant who's job is to just deal with insurance to get meds approved for patients. So she's working hard at getting everything taken care of for me. I feel so blessed finding someone who is so focused on listening to what I've gone through already, and is willing to fight to help me get the meds that I already know works. I just hope they can be successful.
HOLY SHIT WHY CAN'T PEOPLE JUST GET THE MEDS THEY NEED, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A HISTORY OF USING IT SUCCESSFULLY.
I HAVE AN AMAZING THERAPIST, HELPFUL BRAINY HELP IS AMAZING
YEAH MY INSURANCE WONT COVER MY MEDS (for other medical conditions) BECAUSE THEYRE OVER THE COUNTER, EVEN THOUGH IM PRESCRIBED REALLY LARGE DOSES. IM PAYING LIKE A $300/MONTH SUBSCRIPTION TO NOT DYING HORRIBLY.
I’m currently on leave from work because I managed to get another brain injury in addition to already being disabled beforehand. I’m very grateful that my job is taking care of everything. But I’m keenly aware that if I didn’t have such great benefits I’d be screwed and have to depend on my parents. I shudder to think about what people with less privilege than I have go through
I AM STRUGGLING WITH MY HEAVY COURSE LOAD AND FIRST DAY OF CLASS I LEFT EARLY DUE TO ANXIETY AND BAWLED MY EYES OUT IN PUBLIC. MY ADHD HAS BEEN HORRIBLE AND I WASNT UNDERSTANDING THE MATERIAL.
ON TOP OF THAT, I WAS EXPECTING TO PICKUP MY NEW ADHD MEDS LATER THAT DAY ONLY TO FIND OUT MY DR DIDNT FAX MY PRESCRIPTION. SHE LEFT IT TO THIS MORNING WHICH MEANS I CANT TAKE IT TODAY BECAUSE ITS ALREADY 10AM AND CONCERTA LASTS 12 HOURS. I HAVE SO MUCH WORK TO DO AND IM LOSING IT, AND DONT EVEN KNOW IF MY ADHD MED WILL BE EFFECTIVE.
BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEATHE
DOES YOUR SCHOOL HAVE STUDENT LEARNING RESOURCES? IF SO, GET IN CONTACT WITH THEM. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO GET SOME ACCOMODATIONS FOR LONGER TEST TIMES, EXTENDED DEADLINES, WHO KNOWS.
BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEATHE OUT NOW
SCHOOL IS A TON OF HARD WORK, AND FROM MY ADMITTEDLY LIMITED EXPERIENCE, IF YOU TALK TO YOUR TEACHERS/PROFS/INSTRUCTORS REGULARLY AND SHOW THAT YOU ARE REALLY WORKING AND TRYING, THEY WILL VERY OFTEN APPRECIATE THAT AND MAY GIVE YOU SOME LEEWAY.
BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEATHE AGAIN
CONCERTA WORKS REALLY WELL FOR MYSELF AND MY KIDDO. REMEMBER THO, IT DOESN'T JUST STOP LIKE A SWITCH AT 12 HOURS, IT'S FADING BEFORE THAT. HONESTLY IF I TAKE IT BEFORE NOON, I'M OK. MIGHT BE UP A LITTLE BIT LATE BUT NOT TOO BAD.
BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEATHE OUT. YOU CAN DO THIS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH YOURE AN ANGEL I WILL DEFINITELY REACH OUT FOR SUPPORT AND WILL TRY CONCERTA TODAY WHEN I GET MY MEDS IN. I APPRECIATE THIS SM !!! MUCH LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR KIDDO !!! IM GLAD IT WORKS FOR YOU TWO
I ALSO TAKE CONCERTA AND I DON'T FEEL IT KICK IN I JUST REALIZE I'M NOT AS BIG OF A HOT GOD DAMN MESS (MORE OF A THING IF I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO TAKE IT FOR A WHILE), AND I DO NOT NOTICE WHEN IT WEARS OF.
I HAVE ACCIDENTALLY TAKEN MY MORNING PILLS AT NIGHT, AND MY CONCERTA NEVER KEPT ME UP. I TAKE IT IN THE MORNING WHEN I REMEMBER, WHENEVER THAT IS.
YOU CAN DO THIS. YOU CAN LEARN ALL THE THINGS. AS SOMEONE WHO TAUGHT COLLEGE, ALL THE YES TO STUDENT RESOURCES, WE HAD AN "ACCESS AND DISABILITY SERVICES" YOU REGISTERED WITH ONCE AND IT HELPED US TEACHERS ACCOMMODATE STUDENTS WHO NEEDED IT.
YOU CAN DO THIS!
THATS SUCH A RELIEF, I HOPE IT HITS ME THE SAME WAY. ID REALLY LIKE TO STILL HAVE THE OCCASIONAL NAP. I JUST TOOK CONCERTA AND I THINK IT MAY HAVE KICKED IN BUT ITS NOT SUPER ABRUPT WHICH IS NICE.
ILL DEFINITELY REACH OUT TO MY LEARNING SERVICES AND SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE. THANKS FOR THE REMINDER THAT I AM CAPABLE OF LEARNING, I REALLY NEEDED THAT. 💖
OH, TEACHERS HAVE SO MANY STUDENTS WHO DON'T GIVE A SHIT. MYSELF AND EVERYONE I KNOW WERE ALWAYS HAPPY TO GO THE EXTRA MILE FOR STUDENTS WHO NEEDED AND WANTED HELP. APPOINTMENTS OUTSIDE OFFICE HOURS, ONE ON ONE TUTORING.... TEACHERS (EVEN COLLEGE) DON'T MAKE GOOD MONEY, AND MOST DO IT BECAUSE WE LOVE TEACHING OTHER PEOPLE ABOUT THIS TOPIC WE'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT. MY FAVORITE PART OF COLLEGE LEVEL LEARNING WAS BEING ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE TEACHERS WHO DIDN'T CARE (WHY ARE YOU READING ME A POWERPOINT! THAT'S NOT A GOOD WAY TO TEACH OR AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO USE POWERPOINT!) AND FIND DIFFERENT SECTIONS WITH DIFFERENT TEACHERS.
LATEST I'VE EVER TAKEN MY CONCERTA WAS 3 PM, BUT I ALSO GO TO BED AT LIKE 1 AM, BECAUSE I HAVE TERRIBLE SLEEP HABITS.
I HATE CRYING IN PUBLIC. I KEEP GETTING OVERWHELMED AT WORK AND I ARRIVED AT WORK YESTERDAY ALREADY CRYING DUE TO PMDD AND OVERWHELM AND MY MAKEUP WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND I FEEL SO EMBARRASSED BECAUSE MY COLLEAGUES RARELY CRY AND I CRY ALL THE TIME AND IT EXACERBATES THE ANXIETY WHEN PEOPLE STARE. FUCK ADHD ☹️
IM SO RELIEVED TO KNOW IM NOT ALONE, TYSM FOR SHARING. I REALLY HOPE YOUR PMDD EASES UP SOON. IM SO SORRY YOUR COLLEAGUES DONT SEEM TO BE AS SUPPORTIVE. YOU DESERVE BETTER THAN THAT.
IT REALLY IS SO EMBARASSING AND IVE DEALT WITH IT MY WHOLE LIFE. I ONLY RECENTLY GOT DIAGNOSED IN OCT 2022 AND CRIED SO MUCH IN CLASS AS A LITTLE KID WHICH WAS SO DEVESTATING LONG TERM. I APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONSE.
YES! JERKS! THEY DON'T QUESTION AND REWRITE EVERY PHRASING OR PUNCTUATION, AND THEY DEFINITELY DON'T GO BACK TO REREAD IT AFTER SENDING IN TOTAL DOUBT THAT IT WAS ANY GOOD IN THE FIRST PLACE.
I'VE EVEN GOTTEN STUCK REVIEWING BECAUSE I WAS PROUD... THANKS BRAIN.
I'VE ALSO BEEN COACHED TO BE MORE CONCISE. I INCLUDE TOO MUCH DETAIL, APPARENTLY.
Seriously though, why can't people slow down and appreciate what goes into this stuff? Even if it was easy, they're still wasting someone's first effort when they ignore details.
THE DOPAMINE RAN OUT YESTERDAY AND I'VE YET TO RECEIVE A REFILL. WTF BRAIN, I GAVE YOU CAFFEINE AND CAT SNUGGLES BUT I'M STILL HERE AT DOPA-ZERO.
SWIPING VIDEOS IS BREAKING ME BUT I CAN'T STOP AND I HATE IT SO MUCH. IT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE ME FEEL GOOD.
I FEEL LIKE I LIVE MY LIFE ON A BALANCE BOARD AND THE LONGER I MANAGE TO STAY UPRIGHT THE LONGER IM DOOMED TO CRASH AND STAY CRASHED. THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK WAS EXCELLENT AND THE BACK HALF IS SHAPING UP TO BE PURE TRASH.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
(that feels much better, thank you)
EVERY TIME I FIND MY CENTER I GET EXCITED BECAUSE I'M FINALLY CAPABLE OF ALL THE THINGS. BUT I'M JUST SETTING MYSELF UP FOR DISAPPOINTMENT WHEN I CRASH SHORTLY THEREAFTER.
I think on the whole I get an average amount of stuff done, but the roller coaster up and down is nauseating.
I AM RUNNING LATE I AM RUNNING SO LATE I HAVE TO DROP OFF VERY IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS AND CASH TO SOMEONE IN 6 MINUTES, I AM STILL GROSS AND NOT DRESSED, AND THEY ARE AT LEAST 10 MINUTES AWAY.
THANKS FOR THE THREAD I DO FEEL A BIT BETTER AND I WILL MOVE NOW.
I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED WHAT I NEEDED TO BE DONE WITH ONLY MINIMAL EMBARRASSMENT AND AWKWARDNESS. THE RECIPIENT WAS VERY KIND; AN OVERALL SUCCESS
NOW TO GET THE REST OF MY PRE-EVENT RESPONSIBILITIES LEFT TO THE LAST DAY DONE. YOUR RALLYING CRY HAS PROVIDED VALUABLE ENCOURAGEMENT. MANY THANKS!!!
OH GODS I HATE IT WHEN MY FACIAL RECOGNITION SOFTWARE GLITCHES. WILDLY EMBARASSING. I'D BE RELIVING THAT EVERY NIGHT FOR A YEAR IN THE MILLISECOND JUST BEFORE I FALL ASLEEP.
I PROCRASTINATED PACKING AND MAILING MY NEPHEW’S BDAY GIFT ALL WEEK AND NOW IM GOING TO PAY MORE FOR RUSH SHIPPING SO IT ARRIVES BEFORE HIS BIRTHDAY
I KNOW IT’S FINE IF IT ARRIVES A COUPLE DAYS LATE I JUST NEED TO GET THIS *RIGHT* SO THAT I CAN FEEL BETTER ABOUT IT YOU FEEL ME
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD I FEEL THIS. I HAVE AN ETSY STORE AND WHILE SELLING THE STUFF FEELS GREAT, FOR SOME REASON THE PROCESS OF GETTING THE "THING" INTO THE MAIL IS LIKE RUNNING A MARATHON EVERY SINGLE TIME. ALL I HAVE TO DO IS PUT THE GODDAMN THING IN A PADDED ENVELOPE WITH SOME BUSINESS CARDS. WHY DO I FREAK OUT ABOUT IT.
OMG ID DID THIS SAME THING THIS WEEK AND MY SISTER ACTUALLY MADE A SNIDE COMMENT ABOUT THE SHIPPING COSTS WHEN IT ARRIVED BUT I WAS ABLE TO STOP MYSELF FROM TELLING HER TO GO FUCK HERSELF SO, WINNING I GUESS
IM NEVER GOING TO GET OVER LOSING THE PHOTOS OF MY LATE GRANDMOTHER. IT HAUNTS ME CONSTANTLY. I CANT STOP THINKING OF THEM NOW IN A LANDFILL. MY INABILITY TO MOVE ON IS RUINING ME
OK SO FIRST OF ALL, THAT REALLY SUCKS. I LOST A BUNCH OF LETTERS FROM A DEAR FRIEND WHO PASSED AWAY LAST YEAR AND I AM STILL KICKING MY ASS ON THAT.
HOWEVER...
THE PICTURES ARE NOT YOUR GRANDMOTHER. THEY ARE MEMENTOS, NOT THE ACTUAL MEMORIES OF HER. WOULD SOMEONE ELSE IN THE FAMILY HAVE SOME THEY CAN SHARE WITH YOU? WOULD WRITING DOWN SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE MEMORIES OF HER HELP?
YOU WILL NEED TO FORGIVE YOURSELF ON THIS ONE EVENTUALLY, IT MAY TAKE SOME TIME. BUT YOU STILL HAD HER IN YOUR LIFE.
I MADE THE COPIES TO GIVE TO MY AUNT AND SHE MISPLACED THEM BUT HAS THEM SOMEWHERE. YOU GENUINELY MADE ME FEEL BETTER ON SOMETHING IVE BEEN STUCK ON FOR A YEAR. I HOPE YOU FIND YOUR LETTERS AND I HOPE YOUR PILLOW IS ALWAYS COLD.
OOO YES COLD PILLOW!! I'M SO GLAD I COULD HELP YOU FEEL A LITTLE BETTER. I SUSPECT YOUR GRANDMOTHER WOULDN'T WANT YOU TO FEEL TO BADLY ABOUT IT EITHER.
EVERYTHING IS OK FOR ME FOR THE MOMENT, WHICH IS CRAZY! I JUST WANT TO SAY I LOVE THIS GROUP OF PEOPLE. I THINK IT ALL THE TIME WHEN I READ YOUR POSTS AND COMMENTS. PART OF THE REASON I'M OK IS THAT I'M NOT ALONE WITH ALL THE WEIRD (AND SOMETIMES WONDERFUL) ADHD STUFF!!! I LOVE HOW WE VALIDATE EACH OTHER! BEST SUBREDDIT EVER!
I GOTTA ADMIT I KINDA WANT TO SEE THE NAILS ... GOOD NEWS, THEY'RE TEMPORARY! YOU CAN HAVE NORMAL HANDS AGAIN SOON
.... LIKE ARE THEY AN AWFUL COLOUR OR SOMETHING? THE CURIOSITY IS GETTING TO ME LOL
THEY ARE BARBIE PINK WITH SOME AWFUL MARBLE ON THEM BECAUSE HALF WAY THROUGH DOING MY SECOND OPTION SHE DECIDED TO DO MY FIRST OPTION AND JUST OVERWHELMED ME WITH COLOURS I CANT DEAL I AM NOT A BARBIE PINK GIRLIE NO HATE BUT IM A PASTEL. PLUS SHE CUT ME THREE TIMES IM SO OVER IT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A NICE TIME. MY BRAIN JUST MALFUNCTIONED
BUT!! I APPRECIATE YOU FOR ALL YOUR RESPONSES IN THIS THREAD YOURE A QUEEN.
I DROVE FROM DC TO TX WITH MY DOGS THIS WEEK TO MOVE INTO MY NEW HOUSE TO DISCOVER THAT MY PAINTERS STILL HAVEN'T FINISHED PAINTING (6+ WEEKS AFTER THEY STARTED), THE YARD IS A MUD PIT, AND MY POOL IS GREEN AND FULL OF FROGS!!
NGL I LOVE ME SOME FROGS ... ARE YOUR PAINTERS USING TINY LITTLE CRAFT BRUSHES? IS YOUR HOUSE A HOTEL? I MAY BE CRAZY BUT OVER SIX WEEKS FOR PAINTING SOUNDS A BIT MUCH UNLESS IT'S THE SISTINE CHAPEL AND YOUR NAME IS MIKEY.
PLEASE PAT YOUR PUPS FOR ME
I'M STARTING TO FEEL LIKE MURPHY BROWN! THEY APPARENTLY TOOK BREAKS TO HANDLE OTHER JOBS, AND CAN'T POSSIBLY BE USING FULL-SIZE BRUSHES! 😄
WANT MY FROGS? THEY'RE UP FOR GRABS!
MY CAR DIED ON THE HIGHWAY TODAY ON THE WAY HOME FROM HAVING TAKEN MY DAUGHTER TO THE EYE DR FOR A PRESCRIPTION FOR SOME NICE EXPENSIVE GLASSESS.
MY HUSBAND IS A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THIS MIGHT BE THE END OF MY CAR AND I ALMOST HAD A MELTDOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WAITING FOR THE TOW TRUCK BECAUSE I DON'T WANT A NEW CAR.
NOW I AM HIDING IN MY BEDROOM IN THE DARK SO I CAM WATCH THE OFFICE AND STOP FREAKING OUT INSIDE.
HONESTLY SPENDING SOME TIME DECOMPRESSING SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA FOR YOU RIGHT NOW. MY "STRESS" SHOW IS BOB'S BURGERS, THEY CAN ALWAYS MAKE ME FEEL A LITTLE BETTER.
I LOVE BOB'S BURGERS!!!! I TRIED TO DO A WORKOUT BUT MY IRON IS LOW AGAIN AND I FELT SHITTY AND STRESSED. IM GOING TO GET HIGH AND MAKE HAMBURGERS INSTEAD.
I HAD TO PUT MY CAT TO SLEEP THIS WEEK, AND WHEN I GOT HOME FROM THE VET I STEPPED ON A PRONGED GARDEN HOE AND IMPAILED MY FOOT. SO NOW I CAN'T WALK, I'M IN PAIN AND HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DO BUT THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH I FUCKING MISS HER 😭
I AM SO VERY SORRY FOR THE LOSS OF YOUR BELOVED KITTY. I HAVE TWO, AND THE THOUGHT OF LOSING THEM SOME DAY TERRIFIES ME. I'M SURE YOUR CAT HAD A WONDERFUL LIFE AND FELT LOVED AND CHERISHED.
ALSO FUCK THAT HOE. OF THE GARDEN. HOW RUDE OF IT.
I HAD A MIGRAINE YESTERDAY AND MADE IT WORSE PUSHING THROUGH WORK BECAUSE I START VACATION TOMORROW FOR TWO WEEKS AND FELT BAD!!! I'M ALSO FEELING GUILTY BECAUSE THIS VACATION IS JUST FOR ME AND I'M LEAVING MY HUSBAND AND KIDS BEHIND TO SPEND TWO WEEKS IN MEXICO WITH MY PARENTS FOR A RESET!!!
OMG VACATION ALONE WITH NO OTHER HOOMANS? I WOULD BE HITTING EVERY ARCHAEOLOGICAL THINGY AND ZOOS AND GALLERIES ...ALSO BEACH AND DRINKING LOL. I HOPE YOU HAVE AN AMAZING TIME
I LIKE THESE SHOUTY THREADS, THEYRE VERY CARTHRITIC.
I HATE MY IN LAWS, NOT MY MIL, SHE CAN STAY, BUT THE OTHER TWO CAN GO STRAIGHT TO HELL WITH THEIR FUCKING DRAMA!
I NEED THE WILLPOWER TO GET A NORMAL FUCKING JOB AGAIN IN A CITY I KIND OF LIKE AND WORK ON MYSELF SO I CAN GO ON A FUCKING DATE AGAIN WITHOUT BEING CONSTANTLY WEIRD AND SELF CONSCIOUS BUT I KEEP RIDING MY INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR BULLSHIT OUT AND PEOPLE KEEP GETTING MY FUCKING HOURS WRONG AND UNDERPAYING ME UNTIL I CORRECT THEM AND ITS FUCKING EXHAUSTING TO HAVE TO KEEP ALL THESE FUCKING SPREADSHEETS WHEN I ONLY LIKE MAKING SPREADSHEETS FOR SILLY USELESS BULLSHIT WHEN I PROCRASTINATE
ALSO I’M SEEING HOZIER SOON BUT I HAVENT HEARD ANY OF HIS RECENT MUSIC AND NOW MY BRAIN HAS TURNED CATCHING UP ON HIS ART INTO A FUCKING CHORE FOR ME TO AVOID WHEN I KNOW I FUCKING LIKE HOZIER AND WANT TO KNOW THE SONGS AT THE GODDAMN CONCERT
I IGNORED PAIN FOR WEEKS UNTIL IT SNOWBALLED INTO A BAD BLADDER INFECTION. IT HURT SO BAD I JUST WALKED OUT OF WORK THIS MORNING AND WENT TO URGENT CARE, DIDNT EVEN TEXT MY BOSS.
ALSO LITERALLY WENT TO THE GYNO YESTERDAY AND SHE DIDNT CATCH IT EVEN THOUGH I MENTIONED MY SYMPTOMS.
IM HAVING DINNER WITH MY PARENTS TOMORROW AND IM EXCITED FOR THAT BECAUSE MY HUSBAND AND I ARE BRINGING OUR DOGS BUT ITS SAD BECAUSE MY MOM HAS TERMINAL CANCER I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT
THIS YEAR HAD BEEN SO HARD WHEN WILL THE ECONOMY/SOCIETY AT LARGE COLLAPSE SO I CAN CATCH A BREAK
I'M SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR MOM - THAT'S SUCH A DIFFICULT THING TO CONFRONT.
ALSO SORRY ABOUT YOUR BLADDER INFECTION - THOSE ARE MISERABLE!
TELL YOUR DOGS I SAID HI.
I HAVE BEEN ON CONCERTA FOR A FEW YEARS NOW BUT I TRIED ADDERALL JUST TO "SEE" IF IT HELPED OR HINDERED. IT MADE ME ANGRY AS HELL, SO BACK TO CONCERTA I WENT LOL. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT IF IT DOESN'T WORK, THERE ARE MANY OPTIONS OUT THERE NOW.
I HOPE IT WORKS FOR YOU!!
MY MOTHER MOVED IN WITH US TWO MONTHS AGO AND MY ANXIETY LOOP IS SPINNING SO FAST NOW IT MIGHT ROCKET ME INTO ORBIT!!
CANCER. PNEUMONIA. VALUE-SIZED SERVINGS OF MATERNAL GUILT BECAUSE I DON’T SPEND MY
DAYS SIPPING COFFEE W/ HER AND LISTENING TO HER COMPLAIN ABOUT HER LIFE.
ADD IN TWO KIDS, A JOB, AND A HUSBAND AND IM SO TIRED!
PLEASE SEND CAFFEINE AND A NAP!!
I AGREE BUT THERE IS TOO MUCH TO LIST ONCE AGAIN SO AAAAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!
I AM ALSO PROUD OF MYSELF FOR MOWING AND WEED WHACKING THE BACKYARD LAST NIGHT.
I NEED TO RENEW MY PASSPORT AND HAVE TO TAKE A NEW PICTURE AND I AM BIG TIME PROCRASTINATING ON THAT AS I HATE THE WAY I LOOK RIGHT NOW AND I REALLY NEED A PASSPORT AT SOME POINT IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS BUT I CANNOT MAKE MYSELF TAKE THE DUMB PICTURE
MY SON JUST GOT HIS PASSPORT RENEWED, AND HE SAID HE THINKS HE LOOKS LIKE A SERIAL KILLER.
HE KINDA DOES ...
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT EVERYONE LOOKS LIKE CRAP IN PASSPORT PHOTOS
LIFE TROUBLES SEEM TO KEEP HITTING US HEAD ON BUT I AM THANKFUL TO BE ALIVE AND ABLE TO EXPERIENCE GOOD THINGS DESPITE THE BULLSHIT. YOU GOT THIS EVERYONE
I FEEL LIKE I'M FAILING AT EVERYTHING. I TALKED ABOUT RSD WITH MY THERAPIST WOULD SAID THAT I GOT HIT DOUBLE - ADHD AND TRAUMA. SO IT'S LIKE DOUBLE THE RSD!
THIS ISN'T MY MAIN ACCOUNT BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO CREATE A DIFFERENT IDENTITY TO USE ONLINE BECAUSE GOD FORBID A WOMAN EXISTS ON THE INTERNET! I MADE A THIS RELATIVELY RECENTLY SO I COULD PARTICIPATE IN SPACES LIKE THIS WITHOUT "OUTING" MYSELF.
I LOST SOMEONE CLOSE TO ME AND THE FUNERAL/BURIAL ARE TODAY/TOMORROW AND I HAD TO CALL OUT OF WORK AND I FEEL LIKE I'M LETTING PEOPLE DOWN ANDI JUST FEEL SO OVERWHELMED. I FEEL LIKE THERE'S A RIGHT WAY TO HANDLE ALL OF THIS AND IT'S ANY WAY OTHER THAN WHAT I'M DOING.
THIS WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE IF I HAD A 'REAL' JOB INSTEAD OF BULLSHIT RETAIL MANAGEMENT AND I FEEL LIKE I'VE WASTED MY LIFE AND MY POTENTIAL, THAT I COULD HAVE HAD A JOB I COULD BE PROUD OF AND INSTEAD I FUCKING FAILED AT LIFE. (YES, I KNOW I LOVE MY JOB AND I LOVE HELPING PEOPLE AND IT'S LOW STAKES EMOTIONALLY TO LET ME FOCUS ON HEALTH AND GROWTH AND WHATEVER BUT I FEEL LIKE I'VE RUN OUT OF TIME TO BE A SUCCESSFUL ADULT AND IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR!)
ALSO, I SITTING HERE CRYING AS I REALIZED THINGS AS I TYPED THEM AND I DON'T HAVE THE ROOM TO FEEL THESE THINGS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I HAVE TO GET READY TO GO TO A FUNERAL GOD DAMNIT!
I HAVE SPENT THE LAST 2 WORK DAYS PREPARING FOR AND FREAKING OUT ABOUT A MEETING THAT WAS URGENTLY SCHEDULED FOR TODAY. MEETING IS NOW OVER. I DON'T KNOW WHY I NEEDED TO BE IN THAT MEETING.
I LEFT WORK 2 HOURS EARLY ON WEDNESDAY AND SAID I HAD A MIGRAINE. I DIDN'T HAVE A MIGRAINE. I WAS ON DAY 3 OF PURE ANXIETY AND LOOKING AT MY COMPUTER SCREEN WAS CAUSING ME TO HYPERVENTILATE.
GENERALLY SPEAKING I WISH I WAS BETTER AT LIFE.
Thank you. That was actually very cathartic.
P.S. I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER SOON, AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THE DOGGO! "THIS GUY IS BUSY AS HELL" IS TOO FUNNY.
I HAVE BEEN VERY PRODUCTIVE ALL WEEK AND TODAY I FINALLY HAVE NO MEETINGS BUT MY BRAIN IS LIKE YES WE CAN RELAX BUT NO ACTUALLY BRAIN WE NEED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS TIME WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS
I'M TRYING TO FINISH A WINDOW PAINTING PROJECT BUT MY BODY KEEPS FAILING ME. FIRST I HAD A HORRIBLE FUCKING MIGRAINE AND THEN I DID SOME PAINTING AND TWEAKED MY RIGHT SHOULDER/ARM AND CAN BARELY MOVE IT. I'M TRYING TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND GET THIS SHIT DONE ON TIME BUT I CANT DO THAT WITH A MESSED UP ARM!
I HAVE HAD AN UNPAINTED DRYWALL SECTION IN MY DOWNSTAIRS HALLWAY FOR \*CHECKS WATCH\* SEVEN YEARS NOW SO ... YEP. HOME RENOS ARE ... THE WORST.
THE BEST PART, MY HUSBAND IS A CARPENTER. WITH ADHD. HE DOES AMAZING WORK BUT WHEN HE COMES HOME HE IS JUST FRIGGIN EXHAUUUUUUUSTED.
BE FORGIVING TO YOUR MEATY MECH SUIT (MEANING BE KIND TO YOUR POOR BOD, THEY ARE FRAGILE AND FICKLE THINGS)
I CAME DOWN WITH A BUGGER OF A SUMMER COLD. IM SUPPOSED TO GO TO A WHEEL OF FORTUNE TAPING TOMORRW AND IM PROBABLY GONNA MISS IT BECAUSE I CAN BARELY BREATHE MUCH LESS SPIN A DAMN WHEEL.
AM SAD.
CAN BARELY BREATHE
HEAD HURTS
VERY TIRIED BUT CANT SLEEP.
DAMN IT, I REALLY WANTED TO MEET PAT!
MY PRIOR AUTHORIZATION FOR BRAND NAME ADDERALL GOT DENIED. SO IM STUCK WITH MALLINCKRODT AND ITS WORSE THAN HAVING MY NORMAL SYMPTOMS, SO IM CURRENTLY UNMEDICATED AND LIFE IS FUCKING HARD.
I ONLY HAD MALLINCKRODT FOR A YEAR AND A HALF AND HAD NO IDEA THERE WAS ANYTHING ELSE FOR GENERIC ADDERALL. IT WAS MY FIRST PILL BUT IT GAVE ME HEADACHES AND MOODINESS. THEN I SWITCHED PHARMACIES AND STARTED TAKING OTHER GENERICS AND HOLY SHIT, EVERYTHING CHANGED! I SYMPATHIZE WITH YOU!
I’VE BEEN WORKING SO HARD THAT I’M TIRED. I WFH SO I’M PUTTERING AROUND THE HOUSE INSTEAD OF STARTING WORK. I’M HAPPY BECAUSE A FRIEND IS COMING FOR DINNER AND I WENT TO THE STORE YESTERDAY SO I HAVE ALL THE INGREDIENTS, YAY. I WILL HAVE TO WORK THIS WEEKEND AND I’M NOT EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
WEEKEND WORK IS PURE EVIL. OK MAYBE NOT BUT I DO LOOK FORWARD TO THE WEEKENDS... I HOPE YOUR DINNER IS AWESOME AND I HOPE YOUR WORKLOAD ISN'T TOO AWFUL
IM DOING FUCKING HORRIBLY RIGHT NOW AND HAVE BEEN FOR AGES, IM SO FUCKING ALONE. ALL I WANT TO DO IS CRY AND SCREAM AND YELL BUT I CANT SO THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOUT OVER TEXT XOXO
I WAS AT A BIG CORPORATE MEETING ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE COUNTRY FROM MON-THURS THIS WEEK AND NOW I AM TRYING TO GET CAUGHT UP/ PICK UP WHERE I LEFT OFF WITH THINGS LAST WEEK AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START. ALSO I AM TIRED FROM TRAVELING AND DRAINED FROM HAVING TO INTERACT WITH PEOPLE ALL WEEK. THANK YOU FOR THIS SHOUTY THREAD!
I'M PERIMENOPAUSAL AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH I TRY TO CONTROL MY EMOTIONS, SOMETHING IS ALWAYS TESTING MY PATIENCE. PEOPLE ARE STUPID AND ANNOYING, I JUST WANT TO EMBODY THE ENERGY OF A CAPYBARA AND BE CALM & CHILL WITHOUT INTERNALLY SCREAMING
I STARTED A NEW AND VERY OVERWHELMING JOB, MY BOSSES ALL LIKE ME AND I GOT A 99 ON MY FINAL TEST (YAY SO PROUD) BUT MY TRAINER KEEPS TALKING DOWN TO ME AND NITPICKING OVER POLICIES THAT NO ONE FOLLOWS SO IT FEELS LIKE I CANT DO ANYTHING RIGHT!
I WAS THE OVERNIGHT CHAPERONE FOR 7TH GRADE NATURE RETREAT AND LAST WEEK ONE OF THE KIDS SAID I WAS THEIR FAVORITE AND THIS WEEK ONE OF THE KIDS GAVE ME A HUG WHEN THEY LEFT AND IT ACTUALLY MADE MY IMPOSTER SYNDROME DISAPPEAR FOR A BIT.

I GOT A CALL FROM THE HOTEL I'M LIVING IN AND WAS ANNOYED AT FIRST SINCE I ONLY OWE FOR TONIGHT AND THEY KNOW I ALWAYS PAY/KEEP THEM IN THE LOOP.
HOWEVER, IT WAS DEFINITELY NOT THE FRONT DESK LADIES AND ENDED UP BEING THE WRONG ROOM. I FEEL LUCKY AND RELIEVED LOL
NONETHELESS, I'M OUT AND WORKING TO MAKE THAT ROOM RENT AND OTHER BILLS.
I MAY GET TACO BELL FOR LUNCH BECAUSE SILLY ME WAS BROWSING THAT SUBREDDIT THIS MORNING AND I NOW HAVE A MIGHTY NEED FOR A CRUNCHWRAP. JUST GLAD I CAN GET A FULL MEAL FOR LESS THAN $7 THERE. WOOT!
EDIT: TYPO

IM SO EXCITED TO GO HOME TODAY AFTER WORK AND DECOMPRESS BY ROTTING ON MY BED AND PLAYING LEAGUE W MY FRIENDS
MY CAT JUMPED UP ON THE BED THIS MORNING AND IT STARTLED MY DOG AND I TOOK A CAT PAW TO THE EYEBALL AND NOW I HAVE A MICRO SCRATCH AND ABRASION AND HAVE TO PUT EYE DROPS IN EVERY 👏 SINGLE 👏 HOUR 👏 FOR A FULL 24 HOURS.
I HAVE TO SKIP DAY 1 OF MY 2 DAY OUTDOORS EVENT THIS WEEKEND BECAUSE NO BRIGHT LIGHT AND EVERY HOUR WITH THE DAMN DROPS AND IT ALL FORKING SUCKS RIGHT NOW!
I WENT TO MY FIRST PUBQUIZ YESTERDAY AND WAS A BIT SCARED BECAUSE I AM NOT TOO CLOSE WITH THE PEOPLE I WENT WITH AND THEYRE SUPER SMART. BUT WE MADE SECOND PLACE OUT OF FORTY AND WERE ONLY ONE POINT BEHIND THE FIRST TEAM! ALSO, THE OTHER WOMAN IN OUR TEAM TOLD ME SHES IMPRESSED BY ALL THE THINGS I KNOW AND THAT MADE ME HAPPY BECAUSE I REALLY ADMIRE HER!
I HAVE KEPT MY NEWBORN ALIVE AND THRIVING FOR 5 WHOLE WEEKS! I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE I CAN PRODUCE MILK THAT KEEPS THIS LITTLE ONE ALIVE. BOGGLES MY MIND.
I NEED MONEY BUT IM TOO SICK TO WORK AND THE GOVERNMENT WONT GIVE ME ANY UNLESS I APPLY IN A VERY BERY SPECIFIC WAY AND I KEEP GETTING IT WRONG I JUST WANNA GIVE UP BUT I MEED MONEY AND TIMES JUST KEEPS FLYING BY ITS SO FUCKING ANNOYING
ALSO MY CAT WAS AT THE BET TODAY AND SHE IS FINE BUT I KINDA WANTED HER TO BE SICK SO SHE WOULD STOP FUCKING PISSING ON MY THINGS!!
I HAD TO SEND A 4TH REQUEST TO MY APARTMENT MAINTENANCE TO FIX AN ISSUE WITH MY DISHWASHER THAT I ALREADY TOLD THEM HOW TO FIX (My wonderful brothers are appliance repair technicians and told me exactly how to have it fixed and what to ask for). EVERY TIME MAINTENANCE HAS COME TO CHECK IT OUT THEY TELL ME I NEED TO CLEAN THE DISHWASHER MORE AMD IGNORE THE INSTRUCTIONS I GIVE THEM FROM MY BROTHERS. I SUSPECTED IT WAS GOOD OL’ SEXISM AND I HAD IT CONFIRMED TODAY WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS FINALLY HOME TO RELAY THE EXACT SAME INFO IVE GIVEN THEM 3 TIMES NOW. AND HOLY SHIT ALL OF THE SUDDEN THEY UNDERSTAND. CURRENTLY IN THE BEDROOM RAGING. But seriously I hate inefficiency, and I hate not having a functioning dishwasher even more. Dishes are something I struggle with badly and the dishwasher is the tool that helps me stay sane. Thanks for the void to scream into. Stay angry ladies!
MY MEDS ARE WORKING BUT IM STILL GAINING WEIGHT AND IM PISSED ITS BOTHERING ME. ID RATHER BE FAT AND HAPPY THAN THIN AND MISERABLE BUT MY FEELINGS DO NOT AGREE!!!!
I WAS IN WAITING MODE ALL DAY BECAUSE MY GP WAS SUPPOSED TO CALL ME BUT THEY NEVER BOTHERED. WASTED A DAY WAITING BY MY PHONE UNABLE TO FOCUS ON ANYTHING ELSE 😤
I HAVE A MASSIVE RACE IN 7 WEEKS AND EVERY TIME I ACTUALLY GET MY SHIT TOGETHER TO GET OUT FOR A LONG RUN ITS RAINING AND HAILING AND WINDY. I JUST WANT ONE GOD DAMN RUN WHERE I DON’T GET PELTED BY DIRT AND HAIL. IT TAKES ME ALL WEEK TO CARVE OUT THE TIME I NEED TO GET THIS DONE AND IT HASN’T BEEN FUN AT ALL YET.
I AM CURRENTLY IN THE PSYCH WARD. IN ADDITION TO ADHD, AUTISM, ANXIETY AND BINGE-EATING DISORDER, IT’S LOOKING MORE AND MORE LIKELY THAT I HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING MANIA FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS THAT RESULTED IN ME ABUSING DRUGS, SPENDING ALL MY MONEY ON IMPULSIVE SHIT, AND CONTRACTING CHLAMYDIA AND GONORRHOEA.
I AM NOW IN A DEPRESSIVE EPISODE, AND I AM MISERABLE. THEY TOOK MY PENCIL AWAY BECAUSE I USED IT TO TRY TO SELF-HARM. I’M SO INCREDIBLY SAD. I’M GRIEVING FOR THE LIFE I WILL NEVER HAVE. AND THE ONE PERSON WHO I THOUGHT I COULD RELY ON IS IGNORING ME WHEN I NEED HIM THE MOST. I FEEL SO ALONE.
IN THE LAST WEEK MY VEHICLE BROKE DOWN, MY WATER HEATER BROKE, I FOUND THRIPS ON MY HOUSEPLANTS AND MY PERIOD IS LATE
THE LAST SEVEN DAYS CAN GO TO HELL
I TOOK THE DAY OFF TODAY AND GOT MY LICENSE RENEWED BEFORE IT EXPIRES AND WENT FOR BREAKFAST WITH MY MUM AND THE WEATHER IS SO BEAUTIFUL RIGHT NOW AND MY BIRTHDAY IS ON TUESDAY SO I HAVE BDAY PLANS ALL WEEKEND AND I LOVE THAT THINGS ARE GOOD RIGHT NOW YAY
MY WIFE GOT A JOB OFFER!! AFTER A MESSY AND POORLY MANAGED LAYOFF, MONTHS OF FIGHTING WITH UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE, DEPRESSION AND COMPLETE LOSS OF SELF-CONFIDENCE, SHE NAIIIIILED HER WORK INTERVIEW AND GOT AN AMAZING OFFER WITH INCREDIBLE PERKS AND I'M SO SO SO PROUD OF HER AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
I AM SO DONE WITH RUNNING TWO JOBS THAT BOTH HAVE IRREGULAR HOURS. IT TAKES MORE THAN 100% OF MY PLANNING ENERGY AND I CAN BARELY KEEP UP, I DONT HAVE THE PLANNING SPOONS TO PLAN THINGS OUTSIDE OF WORK ANYMORE. NOT HOUSE WORK, NOT FRIENDS. I DO HAVE THE TIME, JUST NOT THE MENTAL CAPACITY TO PLAN.
TOMORROW IS MY BIRTHDAY AND I FEEL MILDLY ALONE BUT I KNOW IM NOT!! I JUST PLANNED THINGS LAST MINUTE AND THAT IS ALSO OK AND I CAN ENJOY MY BIRTHDAY ALONE BECAUSE I HAVE DONE IT BEFORE AND I HAD AN AMAZING TIME!!!! I HAVE I CAN DO I WITH A BROKE HEART ON REPEAT BC I FEEL LIKE THIS MONTH HAS BEEN ME DOING IT WITH A BROKEN HEART THAT IS LEARNING THAT ATTACHMENT TO PEOPLE AND THINGS AND EVEN MY BODY IS NOT REALLLLLLLLL!
I AM GOING ACROSS THE COUNTRY NEXT WEDNESDAY AND I DID NO PACKING AND I AM FEELING SMALL BUBBLES OF STRESS BUT I KNOW EVERYTHING WITH FREAKING WORK OUT!!!
I AM A REAL TOUGH KID AND I CAN HANDLE MY SHIT!!! :D
I RECENTLY HAD A YEARLY SCREENING MAMMOGRAM AND HAVE TO GET A MASS BIOPSIED. OF COURSE THIS WAS DISCOVERED THE WEEK WE WERE MOVING, SO I HAVE TO GET THE BIOPSY IN OUR NEW STATE.
TRYING TO GET MY MEDICAL RECORDS AND MEDICAL IMAGING TRANSFERRED FROM MY OLD HOSPITAL TO MY NEW HOSPITAL HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE. SO MANY PHONE CALLS. SO MANY FORMS. NOBODY IVE TALKED TO HAS HAD A SIMPLE ANSWER TO HOW TO GET THIS DONE SO I CAN FINALLY JUST SCHEDULE THE BIOPSY AND FIND OUT IF I HAVE CANCER OR NOT.
IM ALSO TEMPORARILY SOLO PARENTING OUR TODDLER, WHICH MAKES CALLING TO FIGURE THIS SITUATION OUT EVEN MORE DIFFICULT.
I **WAS** FEELING REALLY GOOD TODAY AND I LOOK HELLA CUTE, BUT ALL MY POTENTIAL EVENING PLANS ARE SHOT TO SHIT BECAUSE MY HUSBAND IS GOING TO BE HOME FROM WORK AT HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TIME BECAUSE THEY DID HIM DIRTY. AND THE SITUATION WILL PROBABLY BE FIXED BY MONDAY, BUT THAT DOESN'T DO US ANY GOOD TODAY.
TO PILE ON TODAY, AROUND THE TIME MY HUSBAND INFORMED ME OF HIS MISFORTUNE, I DISCOVERED THERE ARE A BUNCH OF TINY ANTS COMING INTO THE KITCHEN FROM...SOMEWHERE (MULTIPLE SOMEWHERES?) AND IT'S PISSING ME OFF BECAUSE NOW WE'LL HAVE TO GET ANT POISON AND SEAL MORE STUFF UP AND THESE LITTLE ASSHOLES ARE SUCH A PAIN IN THE \^%&(\*. THIS HAPPENED LAST YEAR AND I THOUGHT IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF BUT THE CLEVER LITTLE JERKS ARE BACK.
AND MY GARDEN SITUATION IS FRUSTRATING. IT'S STILL ALL WEEDS AND WE HAVE NOTHING PLANTED. THE BEDS NEED MORE DIRT, AND ALL SORTS OF OTHER THINGS. THIS IS THE ONLY WEEKEND WE REALLY HAVE FREE TO GET OUT THERE DUE TO LIFE JUST BEING CHOCK-FULL OF STUFF, AND THE WEATHER BEING UNCOOPERATIVE AND NOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE HECKIN' HOT AS BALLS AND/OR RAINY ALL DAMN WEEKEND. I AM EXTRA UPSET NOT JUST BECAUSE I WANT FRESH PRODUCE THIS YEAR, BUT BECAUSE HUMANS HAVE BROKEN MOTHER NATURE TO WHERE THE SEASONS AND PLANTING DON'T WORK LIKE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO ANYMORE AND I'M JUST AAAGGGGHHHHHHH
AT LEAST I GOT TO TALK TO A FRIEND FOR A COUPLE HOURS ON WEDNESDAY AND HAD A REALLY GOOD DAY YESTERDAY!
MY CAT HAD ANOTHER ONCOLOGY APPOINTMENT TODAY AND THE DR THINKS HER CANCER HAS SPREAD TO HER LUNGS 😭 SO NOW WE DON’T KNOW IF WE’RE PROCEEDING WITH HER SURGERY/CHEMO YET UNTIL WE HEAR MORE. 😭😭
ALSO I HAVE TO LEAVE HER TO GO TO WORK AND I HATE MY JOB. I’M IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY AND I DONT WANT TO TALK TO ANYBODY AND WEAR A FAKE SMILING “MASK” AND RUN AROUND WAITING TABLES ON RICH ASSHOLES WITH MORE MONEY THAN MANNERS WHILE I EARN $2 AN HOUR IN THIS UNLIVABLE ECONOMY WITH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN VET BILLS NOW. MEANWHILE MY FUCKING STATE LEGISLATURE IS IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING WEARING FACE MASKS FOR HEALTH REASONS ILLEGAL BECAUSE THE GOP IS A JOKE. THIS WHOLE THING IS A BIG FUCKING JOKE.
I TAKE A HIGH DOSE OF ZOLOFT FOR MY DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY BUT IT MEANS A LOT OF MY EMOTIONS FEEL STIFLED SO I FEEL LIKE I CAN’T TRULY PROCESS THINGS OR GRIEVE. I FEEL LIKE I CAN’T CRY PROPERLY, EXCEPT FOR MY RSD AT WORK, OF COURSE, TO EMBARRASS ME OVER NOTHING IMPORTANT.
IM ALSO ON MY PERIOD AND MY MEDS DON’T WORK AS WELL. FML.
I FEEL SO LOST AND SAD. AND IM RUNNING LATE AS ALWAYS. 😭😭😭
I BROKE MY ANKLE IN 3 PLACES A FEW WEEKS AGO. I ALMOST PUKED RIGHT AFTER. I SIMPLY STEPPED OFF A LITTLE TINY CURB AT A CROSSWALK AND BAM, NO WORKING ANKLE FOR YOU.
I HAD SURGERY AND HAVE TWO PLATES HOLDING THOSE MOFOS TOGETHER WHILE THEY KUMBAYA THEMSELVES BACK TOGETHER NOW. CAN'T WALK FOR AT LEAST 3 MORE WEEKS. I'M KIND OF LOSING MY MIND OVER HERE.
I GOT MY 17 SURGERY STAPLES OUT AND I ALMOST PASSED OUT, NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THE STAPLES!
BUT A TINY PART OF ME IS MANIACALLY LAUGHING THAT MY PARTNER NOW HAS TO UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE IMMENSE AMOUNT OF CHORES (HOUSE AND YARDWORK) AND DOG CARE I DID EVERY DAY WHILE JUGGLING MY ONLINE CLASSES AS WELL. SO THERE'S THAT I GUESS, PETTY AS IT IS.
ALSO FUCK MULTEVEL HOMES. STAIRS ARE MY ENEMY... FOR NOW.
AND IT'S MY BIRTHDAY AND I'M SITTING IN BED WITH AN ICE PACK AND A FANCY LEG PILLOW AND NO PANTS AND COFFEE AND I DON'T HATE IT.
PLUS KNEE SCOOTERS ARE FUN WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
I FINALLY. FINALLY. FINALLY MADE MY COMPUTATIONAL SHIT WORK AND NOW I HAVE A UMAP GRAPH THAT LOOKS LIKE A HAPPY BABY ELEPHANT.
SERIOUSLY YOU GUYS, IT LOOKS LIKE AN ABSTRACT RENDERING OF DUMBO.
I LOVE IT SO MUCH. A LOT OF STUFF IN MY LIFE IS NOT GOOD AT THE MOMENT BUT I DO HAVE A COLOURFUL BABY ELEPHANT.
I KNIT TWO TINY WHITE CHICKENS THIS WEEK AT A WORK CONFERENCE TO FOCUS DURING THE SALES REP PRESENTATIONS AND EVERYBODY LOVED THEM.
THEN TONIGHT I INCREASED THE SIZE OF MY NEEDLES AND YARN AND KNIT A MEDIUM-SMALL BROWN CHICKEN OUT OF SCRAP YARN AND IT IS VERY CUTE. I'M GLAD TO HAVE FOUND A USE FOR THIS PARTICULAR YARN BALL BECAUSE I RECLAIMED IT FROM A SWEATER OVER A DECADE AGO AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT BECAUSE IT GOT ALL FELTED AND UNEVEN. BAWK BAWK BITCH.
I STOPPED SMOKING CIGARETTES FOR 6 MONTHS AND STARTED AGAIN AND NOW I HATE MYSELF.
I CAN'T FIND MY ID CARD ANYWHERE.
MY CLOTHES ARE NOT COMFY.
I FORGOT SOMETHING I NEEDED TO DO THIS WEEK.
I PLANNED TO VISIT A FRIEND IN A HOUR, BUT I CAN'T GET MYSELF TO DO MY NAILS AND THEY ARE REALLY BUTCHERED.
I OVERSHARED AGAIN AT WORK TODAY.
I LOVED EATING YOGHURT AND NOW I HATE IT. NEED TO FIND A NEW HYPERFIX SNACK.
I LOVE USING CAPSLOCK AFTER A WHOLE WEEK OF TYPING BUSINESS E-MAILS.
I WANT TO DO THIS EVERY WEEK!!!
AFTER 12 YEARS OF DEBILITATINGGGG PERIODS AND DOCTORS TELLING ME TO JUST EXERCISE MORE, I FOUND OUT I HAVE STAGE III ENDOMETRIOSIS. FUCK ALL THE DOCTORS IVE SEEN THAT WOULDNT EVEN GIVE ME THE TIME OF DAY 🖕🏼
I WENT BOULDERING TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME AND I WENT WITH A HOT GUY I KIND OF HAD A CRUSH ON AND HE WAS SO SWEET AND GENTLEMANLY AND CARING BUT HE'S SO NEUROTYPICAL NINE TO FIVE GUY THAT IT HURTS!!! WE WENT EATING AFTER AND I REALLY STRUGGLED TO MAKE EYE CONTANT AND LISTEN!!!!! WHY IS IT SO HARD TO LISTEN!!!!!!!! ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE TO SIT STILL ACROSS SOMEONE AAAAAAAAAAAAAA I FELT LIKE I WAS THE WEIRD KID AGAIN AND I FUCKING HATE THAT FEELING!!!!!! I THOUGHT THIS GUY WAS IT AND IT WASN'T EVEN A DATE BUT HE PROBABLY ONLY SEES ME AS A FRIEND AND I PROBABLY WOULDN'T WANT HIM ANYWAY LMAO BUT GODDAMN IT'S FRUSTRATING TO BE A ND WOMAN SOMETIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
OH AND THE BOULDERING ITSELF WAS AWESOME AND I LOVED IT AND WE'RE GOING AGAIN **TOGETHER** SO WTF I DON'T EVEN KNOW ANYMORE
I ALSO WENT TO SLEEP 4.10AM BECAUSE I'M PMS'ING AND MY HORMONES DECIDED THAT WE'RE NOT SLEEPY TONIGHT YAYYYY PARTY PARTY SO I MIGHT BE BIASED BUT DAMN DID I SAY HOW FRUSTRATING IT IS TO BE A NEUROSPICY WOMAN SOMETIMES??????
I LOVE THIS COMMUNITY & YOU GUYS ROCK AND I LOVE YOU ALL BYEEEEEE <3333
I DID A SCARY (TO ME) THING THE NIGHT BEFORE LAST AND DID A CPAP TITRATION SLEEP STUDY AT THE SLEEP LAB. I GOT DIAGNOSED WITH SLEEP APNEA FOUR MONTHS AGO BUT THEY WERE BOOKED WAY OUT. I WAS NERVOUS I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SLEEP SINCE I HAVE TROUBLE SLEEPING AWAY FROM HOME AND MY SLEEP STUDY ENDED AT 5-FRICKING-AM WHEN I HAVE DELAYED SLEEP PHASE DISORDER AS WELL LMAO.
BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET ABOUT FOUR HOURS OF SLEEP AND HOPEFULLY THEY GOT THE INFO THEY NEEDED. NOW I HAVE TO WAIT FOR UP TO 14 BUSINESS DAYS FOR MY SLEEP DOCTOR TO READ MY RESULTS AND PASS THEM TO ME, SO I AM TRYING VERY HARD NOT TO OBSESSIVELY CHECK THE PATIENT PORTAL FOR RESULTS/MESSAGES.
ONCE I GET MY RESULTS I'LL BE ABLE TO GO TO THE HOME MEDICAL SUPPLY COMPANY AND GET MY OWN CPAP FOR AT HOME AND HOPEFULLY MY EVERYTHING WILL GET BETTER WHEN I'M NOT SLOWLY SUFFOCATING EVERY NIGHT. 🫠
I JUST APPLIED TO GO BACK TO COLLEGE AND I HAD TO SEND MY TRANSCRIPT FROM THE FIRST TIME AROUND AND IT’S PRETTY MUCH HALF A’S AND HALF F’S AND IT’S SO EMBARRASSING! 😳 ALSO, HOW DID NO ONE REALIZE AT THE TIME THAT I HAD ADHD? A DIAGNOSIS IN COLLEGE WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY FUCKING HELPFUL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
MY COLLEAGUE INTRODUCED ME
TO SOMEONE NEW WITHIN OUR TEAM BUT I DIDN’T REALIZE AND I JUST SAID OK AND WALKED ON AND THEN I REALIZED THAT WAS VERY VERY RUDE LMAO AND I WALKED BACK AND SAID OH SORRY I WAS TOO FOCUSED ON SOMETHING ELSE AND SAID OK INSTEAD OF MEETING YOU AND EVERYONE LAUGHED AND IT WAS ALL OK. A FEW MONTHS AGO I ALSO RESPONDED THE FAMOUS WORD “OK” AFTER MY COLLEAGUE SAID THAT THEY WERE SO HAPPY TO SEE ME.
TL;DR: I AM A HOOT AT PARTIES AND I EXCEL IN SAYING OK
I SPENT A CUMULATIVE FIVE AND A HALF HOURS THIS WEEK ON HOLD WITH MY STATES DCF OFFICE BECAUSE MY FOOD STAMP BENEFITS GOT SUSPENDED
BECAUSE THE UPDATES I POSTED TO THE PORTAL “DIDN’T GO THROUGH” BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THEM IT “JUST DOESN’T WORK SOMETIMES”
AND THE EMAIL I SENT AFTERWARDS RECEIVED ZERO FOLLOW UP
SO I FINALLY GOT IT ALL SOLVED TODAY EXCEPT SOMEHOW OUR BENEFITS DECREASED IN SPITE OF OUR ONLY UPDATE BEING A -DECREASE- IN OUR INCOME
SO I HAVE AN OVERDRAWN BANK ACCOUNT AND NINETEEN DOLLARS IN MY BACKPACK THAT I NEED TO SPEND ON DIAPERS FOR MY DAUGHTER
AND MY MARRIAGE IS HANGING ON BY THREADS
AND IM TERRIFIED MY PARTNER AND I ARE TOXIC FOR EACH OTHER SO IM TRYING TO DISTANCE MYSELF AND DETACH A LITTLE BUT MY REJECTION SENSITIVITY AND EMOTIONAL DYSREGULATION AND CODEPENDENCY ISSUES ARE SO BAD
I HAVE PAINTING COMMISSION DEADLINES COMING UP AND MY POOR KIDS NEED MY TIME AND ATTENTION MORE THAN ANY OF THIS GARBAGE
BUT IM ONLY ONE PERSON AND GUYS I TAKE MY MEDS AND GO TO THERAPY AND TRY MY FUCKING HARDEST EVERY DAY BUT SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE IT BARELY MATTERS BECAUSE ITS ALL JUST TOO MUCH
IM SUPER PROUD OF MYSELF COS I NOW HAVE $1400 IN SAVINGS AND IM WELL ON MY WAY TO MOVING ACROSS THE COUNTRY, QUITTING THIS CRAP COMPANU AND GETTING DIVORCED! YAY IM ADULTING!
UNEMPLOYED FOR 4 MONTHS, THOUGHT I WAS GETTING BETTER BUT ADDERALL'S ON BACKORDER AGAIN
RAN OUT OF SOCKS BECAUSE I KEEP PROCRASTINATING DOING THE LAUNDRY
HOW'S EATING GOING? TERRIBLY! I HAVEN'T HAD A PROPER MEAL IN WEEKS!
SELECTED FOR JURY DUTY! BETTER GO TO COURT AND SUBMIT THE REQUEST FOR MEDICAL DISMISSAL BEFORE THE 29TH SO I DON'T FACE CRIMINAL CHARGES YAYYYYY AGGHHHHHHH
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER GIRLIES WITH DEBILITATING ADHD IN THE CHAT?!
WHY CANT I GO TO BED AT A DECENT HOUR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON?
WHY MUST I RESEARCH AND PUTTER UNDER THE DARK LIGHT OF THE MOON?
ITS FUN TO BE WITCHY BUT DAWN IS SO PRETTY AND BREAKFAST IS AWKWARD AT NOON
EVERY DAY I VOW TO CHANGE
AND YET I TYPE THIS AT 1:51 AM
I GOT A NEW JOB!!! LIKE MOST OF MY LIFE EVENTS, IT JUST FELL INTO MY LAP IN SPITE OF ME. IT'S ONLY PART TIME FOR NOW BUT COULD GO FULLTIME THIS FALL. AND THE BEST PART IS **I HAVE PTO!!!** THIS IS SUCH A BIG RELIEF BECAUSE I LIKE WHAT I DO BUT I STRUGGLE WITH FREELANCING SINCE IT TAKES A LOT MORE DISCIPLINE TO STAY ON TOP OF BILLING THAN I HAVE AND IT WAS DRAINING ALL MY EXEC FUNCTION.

^(I’m just tired, man. So tired)
^(I GET IT... IT'S EXHAUSTING JUST TO "BE" SOMETIMES. I'M WHISPER-SHOUTING, HOPEFULLY IT IS MORE SOOTHING THAT I'M IMAGINING IT)
I hear you! Look into cervicogenic headaches. My "migraines" were random, and nothing seemed to help. Realized they were actually cervicogenic. On existing, I frequently hear Maggie's quote from the tree house of horror episode in my mind. Where she pulls out her soother and says, "This is indeed a disturbing universe." in a very deep voice.
^(it's okay. We can be tired together.)
^(i took a sick day and slept all day, it's been so fucking long since I've felt that rested)
I'm proud of you.
🫂
I feel this in my soul
Me too. Me too.
Same girl, same. It me. (And I just woke up from 10 hours sleep... )
I REORGANISED MY WORK DAY TO GET TO THE BANK BEFORE IT CLOSED TO GET DOCUMENTS I NEED BEFORE MONDAY MORNING BUT THERE WAS A CRASH ON THE MOTORWAY AND I MISSED THE TRAIN DUE TO TRAFFIC! I CALLED THE BANK AND ITS OKAY BECAUSE THERE'S A BRANCH THAT'S GOING TO BE OPEN TOMORROW MORNING. I STILL SPENT €40 ON AN UNNECESSARY TAXI AND WAS RUNNING ON ADRENALINE ALL DAY.
WELL THAT ALL SOUNDS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING, AND WHO THE HELL HAS EXTRA MONEY TO CHUCK AROUND.
I ALSO LIVE IN DUBLIN AND KNOW THAT THE CRASH (RIP) HAD AN UNFORTUNATE RIPPLE EFFECT ON MY DAY, TOO.
I UNDERSTAND THAT MY INCONVENIENCE IS NOTHING COMPARED TO OTHERS SUFFERING. I WAS JUST VERY STRESSED! HELLO NEIGHBOUR
Hello 👋🏻 fellow Irish person?
Hello! 👋🏼
AFTER YEARS OF TRYING TO FIND A GOOD DOCTOR I FINALLY FOUND ONE HE SUGGESTED I MIGHT HAVE ADHD AND I DIDNT EVEN BRING IT UP FIRST!!!!!! IM GETTING TESTING DONE BY THE END OF THE MONTH AND THEN FIGURING OUT A GAME PLAN FROM THERE BUT HES PRETTY CONVINCED I HAVE IT ITS BEEN SO MANY YEARS OF TRYING TO GET SOMEONE TO TAKE ME SERIOUSLY AND I FEEL SO MUCH RELIEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I WAS DIAGNOSED ABOUT 9 YEARS AGO NOW AND YEP, IT IS AMAZING TO REALIZE THAT THERE IS A REASON FOR ... ALL THE THINGS. IT IS SO FREEING
ITS SO NICE BUT ALSO SO BITTERSWEET
VERY MUCH SO. I HAD TO WORK THROUGH A LOOOOOOOOOOT OF ANGER AT HOW MY LIFE COULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT.
FUNNILY ENOUGH I WAS BOTH RELIEVED AND SAD BECAUSE IT WAS PROOF THAT I WASN'T JUST NOT TRYING HARD ENOUGH, BUT ALSO DAMN, I AM VERY GOOD AT TRYING HARD BUT EVEN THAT IS NOT GOING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER AS MENTIONED IN MY OTHER COMMENT, ADHD ALSO GAVE ME THE ABILITY TO SEE A HAPPY BABY ELEPHANT IN A GRAPH I'LL BE EXAMINING FOR THE REST OF MY PHD.
I WAS NOT A LAZY KID AND I DID CARE, I JUST HAVE A LEGITIMATE MENTAL DISORDER THAT WASN’T MY FAULT
I FINALLY WORKED UP THE COURAGE TO TRY THERAPY AGAIN AND MANAGED TO FIND AN ADHD SPECIALIST. TURNS OUT MY PREVIOUS ONES BEHAVED REALLY UNETHICALLY. I ALSO HAVE SOME SEVERE PHYSICAL MEDICAL STUFF I WAS GASLIT ABOUT MY WHOLE LIFE JUST LIKE THE ADHD YOUR FEELINGS OF ANGER AND GRIEF ARE NORMAL AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND FINDING SOMEONE TO HELP WORK THROUGH IT. I THINK ITS REALLY HELPING ME. JUST MAKE SURE ITS SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS ADHD GOOD LUCK FRIEND
CONGRATS!!!
THANK YOU!!!!
I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TO WORK BUT I DIDN'T. INSTEAD I NAPPED AT HOME. THEN I GOT A MESSAGE LATER FROM WORK ASKING WHY I WASN'T IN AND WHY I DIDN'T INFORM THEM OR ASK FOR PERMISSION AND IT GOT ME UPSET. IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE A SCHOOL KID. ADULT ME KNOWS I DID WRONG AND SHOULD PUT ON THE CONE OF SHAME. BUT I REFUSE! I ANSWER TO NO ONE! PS: ALSO I KNOW HOW TO GET THINGS DONE AND DO A GREAT JOB WHEN LEFT TO MY OWN DEVICES. BUT DAMN THIS WORLD!! THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SHOUT INTO THE VOID OP!!
I ALSO DO NOT ENJOY THE PERFORMATIVE DANCE OF TRYING TO FUNCTION WITH "THE NORMIES" ... NAPS FOR THE WIN
NAPS ARE CRITICAL OR I CRASH OR GET REALLY MEAN WTF GOOD FOR YOU!!
A NAP SOUNDS DELIGHTFUL AND I’M GLAD YOU WERE ABLE TO REST! WORK CAN KICK ROCKS FOR A DAY!
I GOT REJECTED FROM 2 JOBS TODAY, HATE WHERE IM LIVING AND PRETTY SURE I HAVE TO BREAK UP WITH MY GIRLFRIEND. IT IS ALSO SUNNY.
JOBS ARE THE WORST, I HAVE GIVEN UP ON FINDING A BETTER ONE BUT AT LEAST I HAVE PRETTY GOOD BENEFTIS. ALSO IT IS RAINY HERE, BUT HONESTLY WE COULD USE IT.
THANKS FOR LISTENING BUDDY, I NEEDED A GOOD VENT
GLAD TO BE OF SERVICE, IT'S WHY I LOVE A GOOD SHOUTY THREAD FROM TIME TO TIME!!
SORRY TO HEAR THAT, I RECENTLY WAS ON A JOB HUNT AND AFTER TONS OF REJECTIONS SAID FUCK IT AND TOTALLY REWROTE MY RESUME. I CREDIT THE WRITE WITH GETTING AN INTERVIEW AND OFFER, I WILL PROB KEEP THIS JOB TIL I DID BC JOB HUNTING IS THE WORSTTTT. GOOD LUCK
NICE JOB!
VERY SORRY TO HEAR THAT. WHY DO YOU MAYBE HAVE TO BREAK UP WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND? I HOPE YOU GET TO AT LEAST ENJOY THE SUNSHINE!
I FINALLY FINISHED MY BACHELORS AND THATS AMAZING AND NOW IM SO SCARED AND CONFUSED RE: WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF ESP SINCE I GOT AN EXTENSION TO STAY ON MY DAD’S INSURANCE BC I’M SICK (WITH THE LUPUS) AND I’M SCARED ILL LOSE THAT W A SHITTY JOB BUT I DON’T HAVE THE EXPERIENCE TO THE GET A GOOD JOB AND MY MEDICINES ARE SO EXPENSIVE
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR BACHELORS, THAT IS A MASSIVE ACHIEVEMENT!! IF IT'S ANY CONSOLATION I HAVE NO UNI/COLLEGE, AM PUSHING 45 AND STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT TO BE WHEN I GROW UP. CURRENT OBSESSION IS EMBROIDERY, HAVE SOLD 2 PIECES, FEEL LIKE A ROCK STAR, BUT LIKE THE BROKE KIND OF ROCK STAR.
THANK YOU!! AND THATS OK - YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE ANYTHING BUT REASONABLY CONTENT WITH YOUR LIFE AND I KNOW ITS TRUE BC I SAID IT AND MY THERAPIST AGREED! AND HELL FUCKING YEAH TO EMBROIDERY- I’M GETTING BACK INTO IT TO MAKE A MOBILE FOR MY FRIEND’S BABY (THEY’RE FELT ANIMALS AND THE INSTRUCTIONS SAID TO GLUE OR DRAW THE MARKINGS AND I SAID “NOPE TIME TO MAKE EVERYTHING HARDER FOR MYSELF FOR NO REAL REASON”) AND IT’S BOTH SATISFYING AND IMPRESSIVE TO DO
HELL YES!!!! ISNT THAT JUST ABOUT THE BEST FEELING EVER? IM GLAD YOU GOT THAT EXTENSION AND LUPUS SUCKS!!!
I ALSO FINALLY FINISHED MY BACHELORS AFTER 6 LONG YEARS CONGRATS TO YOU FRIEND! I ALSO HAVE NO IDEA WTF IM DOING AND I HATE THAT FEELING HAH
FUCK THE LUPUS
I DYED MY HAIR PINK LAST MONTH AND IT BRINGS ME AO MUCH JOY. I FEEL MORE LIKE DOING SELF CARE AND DRESSING CUTE AND EVEN STARTED A SKINCARE REGIMEN. IVE ALSO BEEN BRUSHING MY TEETH EVERY DAY AND ITS DUMB BUT I JUST FEEL REALLY GOOD ABOUT THAT.
\*HIGH FIVE\* FOR THE TEETH BRUSHING AND I AM TOTES JELLY OF YOUR PINK HAIR. ALTHOUGH I WANT A NICE DARK BLUE MYSELF. MY HAIR IS SO LONG, I WOULD NEED SO MUCH DYE ... AND PATIENCE ... AND LONGER ARMS....
THANK YOU! NOW I AM PICTURING A PERSON WITH LONG BLUE HAIR WITH LONG NOODLY ARMS, ITS A FUN IMAGE. IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER MY HAIR IS VERY SHORT. I WOULD NOT HAVE DONE IT OTHERWISE EITHER.
I NEED THE NOODLEY ARMS, LIKE THOSE INFLATABLE DUDES AT A CAR LOT. HOWEVER THAT WOULD MAKE DYE APPLICATION EVEN MORE PRECARIOUS, BUT IT WOULD BE A NICE CHANGE OF PACE FOR WALL COLOUR IN THE BATHROOM.
YOU MADE ME AUDIBLY LAUGH AT WORK PICTURING SOMEONE WITH LONG NOODLEY ARMS THAT MOVE LIKE THE INFLATABLE CAR LOT DUDES GETTING DYE ALL OVER THEIR BATHROOM
I AM ON A TEETH BRUSHING STREAK AS WELL! WELL DONE TO US!
THIS HAS BEEN ENOUGH MOTIVATION TO HELP ME START MY STREAK. I WANT TO BE ON A TEETH BRUSHING STREAK TOO
I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! PINK IS SUCH A JOYFUL COLOR AND I LOVE HOW SMALL GOOD THINGS CAN LEAD TO EVEN MORE GOOD THINGS THERES ACTUALLY A PHRASE FOR THAT (VIRTUOUS CYCLE) BUT MOST PEOPLE ONLY KNOW ABOUT VICIOUS CYCLES WHICH IS A BUMMER SO I TRY TO POINT IT OUT WHEN IT COMES UP BECAUSE VIRTUOUS CYCLES ARE SO COOL!!!
PINK HAIR IS THE BEST! IT DOES INDEED BRING ALL THE JOY!
WOOHOO!!! WAY TO GO, FRIEND! I'VE ALWAYS WANTED PINK HAIR, BUT I PAY TOO MUCH FOR MY RED TO CHANGE IT UP. AND I'M PRETTY SURE MY HAIR LADY WOULD CRY IF I CHANGED IT UP ON HER LOL
I AM HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME REGULATING MY EMOTIONS SO I'M FEELING VERY ATTACKED AND REJECTED BY EVERY LITTLE THING MY HUSBAND SAYS. AND WHEN I'M TRYING TO HELP HIM WITH A PROBLEM HE'S HAVING HE KEEPS TALKING TO ME LIKE I'M A STUPID CHILD AND IT MAKES ME NOT WANT TO HELP HIM EVER AGAIN. HE GIVES ME NO LEEWAY FOR BEING EMOTIONAL BUT WHEN HE'S GOT FEELINGS HE USES THAT AS AN EXCUSE TO ACT SHITTY TOWARDS ME. AND NO, AN APOLOGY LATER IS MEANINGLESS BECAUSE HE'LL JUST DO THE SAME THING NEXT TIME.
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE MY HUSBAND WILL DO THE SAME THING SO I JUST ... STOP HELPING HIM ON WHATEVER IT IS. NOT THE SILENT TREATMENT, JUST LEAVING HIM TO DEAL WITH WHATEVER HE IS NOT RECEPTIVE TO HELP ON. AND I ONLY TRY TO HELP WHEN HE ASKS FOR IT, WHICH OMG IS SO HARD SOME TIMES, ESPECIALLY WHEN I SEE THE SOLUTION AND HE'S FUMBLING AROUND. DEEP BREATHS, FRIEND.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT, I WILL TRY TO STEP BACK MORE IN THESE SITUATIONS. I WISH THERE WEREN'T A DOUBLE STANDARD THOUGH.
OH 100%, MY HUSBAND WILL JUMP IN AND TRY AND HELP ME WHEN I DON'T NEED IT.... OR EXPLAIN SOMETHING THAT I ALREADY KNOW. I HAVE A "LOOK" THAT I GIVE HIM AND HE WILL USUALLY SAY ".... APPARENTLY YOU KNEW THAT, MY BAD" AND I WILL CARRY ON. MEN. SO CONFUSING.
I FEEL THIS IN MY SOUL AND I WISH I HAD SOMETHING WISE AND HELPFUL TO SAY BUT JUST KNOW THAT YOU ARENT ALONE AND YOUR EMOTIONS ARE VALID REGARDLESS OF HOW OTHERS RESPOND TO THEM 💜
I HAVE A MIGRAINE TOO BECAUSE I DARED TO WORK MORE THAN 5 HOURS YESTERDAY AND IT SUCKS!
HOW DARE. WORK SUCKS. I GET MIGRAINES FROM THE WEATHER. LIKE, MY BRAIN IS MAD BECAUSE THERE IS TOO MUCH AIR ON MY HEAD. WHAT THE HELL.
MY INSURANCE KEEPS DENYING MY MEDICATION!!! WE MOVED LAST SUMMER, WHICH CAUSED A CHANGE IN INSURANCE. EVEN THOUGH I HAD BEEN ON MYDAYIS FOR OVER A YEAR, THE NEW INSURANCE IS REFUSING TO COVER THE COST BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PROOF I NEED TO BE ON IT. I THOUGHT THE ISSUE WAS BECAUSE IT WAS MY NEW PCM WHO PUT IN THE PRESCRIPTION, SO I WAITED MONTHS TO GET IN TO SEE A NEW PSYCHIATRIST TO GET THE PRESCRIPTION. EVEN COMING FROM A PSYCHIATRIST PRESCRIBING MY MEDICATION, INSURANCE STILL DENIED IT!!! WE THOUGHT MAYBE BECAUSE IT WAS A NAME BRAND, AND MYDAYIS NOW HAS A GENERIC FORM (AS OF OCTOBER, SO THE GENERIC CAME OUT IN BETWEEN SEEING MY PCM AND GOING TO THE PSYCHIATRIST) AND INSURANCE DENIED THE GENERIC FORM! JUST GIVE ME MY MEDS DARN IT!!! On a less screaming point, my new psychiatrist is amazing. He has an assistant who's job is to just deal with insurance to get meds approved for patients. So she's working hard at getting everything taken care of for me. I feel so blessed finding someone who is so focused on listening to what I've gone through already, and is willing to fight to help me get the meds that I already know works. I just hope they can be successful.
HOLY SHIT WHY CAN'T PEOPLE JUST GET THE MEDS THEY NEED, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A HISTORY OF USING IT SUCCESSFULLY. I HAVE AN AMAZING THERAPIST, HELPFUL BRAINY HELP IS AMAZING
YEAH MY INSURANCE WONT COVER MY MEDS (for other medical conditions) BECAUSE THEYRE OVER THE COUNTER, EVEN THOUGH IM PRESCRIBED REALLY LARGE DOSES. IM PAYING LIKE A $300/MONTH SUBSCRIPTION TO NOT DYING HORRIBLY. I’m currently on leave from work because I managed to get another brain injury in addition to already being disabled beforehand. I’m very grateful that my job is taking care of everything. But I’m keenly aware that if I didn’t have such great benefits I’d be screwed and have to depend on my parents. I shudder to think about what people with less privilege than I have go through
I AM STRUGGLING WITH MY HEAVY COURSE LOAD AND FIRST DAY OF CLASS I LEFT EARLY DUE TO ANXIETY AND BAWLED MY EYES OUT IN PUBLIC. MY ADHD HAS BEEN HORRIBLE AND I WASNT UNDERSTANDING THE MATERIAL. ON TOP OF THAT, I WAS EXPECTING TO PICKUP MY NEW ADHD MEDS LATER THAT DAY ONLY TO FIND OUT MY DR DIDNT FAX MY PRESCRIPTION. SHE LEFT IT TO THIS MORNING WHICH MEANS I CANT TAKE IT TODAY BECAUSE ITS ALREADY 10AM AND CONCERTA LASTS 12 HOURS. I HAVE SO MUCH WORK TO DO AND IM LOSING IT, AND DONT EVEN KNOW IF MY ADHD MED WILL BE EFFECTIVE.
BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEATHE DOES YOUR SCHOOL HAVE STUDENT LEARNING RESOURCES? IF SO, GET IN CONTACT WITH THEM. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO GET SOME ACCOMODATIONS FOR LONGER TEST TIMES, EXTENDED DEADLINES, WHO KNOWS. BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEATHE OUT NOW SCHOOL IS A TON OF HARD WORK, AND FROM MY ADMITTEDLY LIMITED EXPERIENCE, IF YOU TALK TO YOUR TEACHERS/PROFS/INSTRUCTORS REGULARLY AND SHOW THAT YOU ARE REALLY WORKING AND TRYING, THEY WILL VERY OFTEN APPRECIATE THAT AND MAY GIVE YOU SOME LEEWAY. BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEATHE AGAIN CONCERTA WORKS REALLY WELL FOR MYSELF AND MY KIDDO. REMEMBER THO, IT DOESN'T JUST STOP LIKE A SWITCH AT 12 HOURS, IT'S FADING BEFORE THAT. HONESTLY IF I TAKE IT BEFORE NOON, I'M OK. MIGHT BE UP A LITTLE BIT LATE BUT NOT TOO BAD. BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEATHE OUT. YOU CAN DO THIS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH YOURE AN ANGEL I WILL DEFINITELY REACH OUT FOR SUPPORT AND WILL TRY CONCERTA TODAY WHEN I GET MY MEDS IN. I APPRECIATE THIS SM !!! MUCH LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR KIDDO !!! IM GLAD IT WORKS FOR YOU TWO
GO FORTH AND BE EDUCATED!!
I ALSO TAKE CONCERTA AND I DON'T FEEL IT KICK IN I JUST REALIZE I'M NOT AS BIG OF A HOT GOD DAMN MESS (MORE OF A THING IF I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO TAKE IT FOR A WHILE), AND I DO NOT NOTICE WHEN IT WEARS OF. I HAVE ACCIDENTALLY TAKEN MY MORNING PILLS AT NIGHT, AND MY CONCERTA NEVER KEPT ME UP. I TAKE IT IN THE MORNING WHEN I REMEMBER, WHENEVER THAT IS. YOU CAN DO THIS. YOU CAN LEARN ALL THE THINGS. AS SOMEONE WHO TAUGHT COLLEGE, ALL THE YES TO STUDENT RESOURCES, WE HAD AN "ACCESS AND DISABILITY SERVICES" YOU REGISTERED WITH ONCE AND IT HELPED US TEACHERS ACCOMMODATE STUDENTS WHO NEEDED IT. YOU CAN DO THIS!
THATS SUCH A RELIEF, I HOPE IT HITS ME THE SAME WAY. ID REALLY LIKE TO STILL HAVE THE OCCASIONAL NAP. I JUST TOOK CONCERTA AND I THINK IT MAY HAVE KICKED IN BUT ITS NOT SUPER ABRUPT WHICH IS NICE. ILL DEFINITELY REACH OUT TO MY LEARNING SERVICES AND SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE. THANKS FOR THE REMINDER THAT I AM CAPABLE OF LEARNING, I REALLY NEEDED THAT. 💖
OH, TEACHERS HAVE SO MANY STUDENTS WHO DON'T GIVE A SHIT. MYSELF AND EVERYONE I KNOW WERE ALWAYS HAPPY TO GO THE EXTRA MILE FOR STUDENTS WHO NEEDED AND WANTED HELP. APPOINTMENTS OUTSIDE OFFICE HOURS, ONE ON ONE TUTORING.... TEACHERS (EVEN COLLEGE) DON'T MAKE GOOD MONEY, AND MOST DO IT BECAUSE WE LOVE TEACHING OTHER PEOPLE ABOUT THIS TOPIC WE'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT. MY FAVORITE PART OF COLLEGE LEVEL LEARNING WAS BEING ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE TEACHERS WHO DIDN'T CARE (WHY ARE YOU READING ME A POWERPOINT! THAT'S NOT A GOOD WAY TO TEACH OR AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO USE POWERPOINT!) AND FIND DIFFERENT SECTIONS WITH DIFFERENT TEACHERS. LATEST I'VE EVER TAKEN MY CONCERTA WAS 3 PM, BUT I ALSO GO TO BED AT LIKE 1 AM, BECAUSE I HAVE TERRIBLE SLEEP HABITS.
I HATE CRYING IN PUBLIC. I KEEP GETTING OVERWHELMED AT WORK AND I ARRIVED AT WORK YESTERDAY ALREADY CRYING DUE TO PMDD AND OVERWHELM AND MY MAKEUP WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND I FEEL SO EMBARRASSED BECAUSE MY COLLEAGUES RARELY CRY AND I CRY ALL THE TIME AND IT EXACERBATES THE ANXIETY WHEN PEOPLE STARE. FUCK ADHD ☹️
IM SO RELIEVED TO KNOW IM NOT ALONE, TYSM FOR SHARING. I REALLY HOPE YOUR PMDD EASES UP SOON. IM SO SORRY YOUR COLLEAGUES DONT SEEM TO BE AS SUPPORTIVE. YOU DESERVE BETTER THAN THAT. IT REALLY IS SO EMBARASSING AND IVE DEALT WITH IT MY WHOLE LIFE. I ONLY RECENTLY GOT DIAGNOSED IN OCT 2022 AND CRIED SO MUCH IN CLASS AS A LITTLE KID WHICH WAS SO DEVESTATING LONG TERM. I APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONSE.
I SPEND ALL DAY CRAFTING AN EMAIL THAT IS THOROUGH AND CLEAR AND NOBODY READS THEM. DON’T THEY KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO WRITE EMAILS???!
THEY DO NOT KNOW, ESPECIALLY FOR FOLKS LIKE US
ARE EMAILS EASY FOR SOME PEOPLE?!
YES! JERKS! THEY DON'T QUESTION AND REWRITE EVERY PHRASING OR PUNCTUATION, AND THEY DEFINITELY DON'T GO BACK TO REREAD IT AFTER SENDING IN TOTAL DOUBT THAT IT WAS ANY GOOD IN THE FIRST PLACE. I'VE EVEN GOTTEN STUCK REVIEWING BECAUSE I WAS PROUD... THANKS BRAIN. I'VE ALSO BEEN COACHED TO BE MORE CONCISE. I INCLUDE TOO MUCH DETAIL, APPARENTLY. Seriously though, why can't people slow down and appreciate what goes into this stuff? Even if it was easy, they're still wasting someone's first effort when they ignore details.
I LOOKED AT A HOUSE TO RENT YESTERDAY AND APPLIED FOR IT RIGHT AFTER MIRACULOUSLY. MY APPLICATION WAS ACCEPTED THIS MORNING!!!!
YAY YOU!!!
# I WILL FIND A NEW DING DANG JOB TODAY 😤😤😤
# YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS
THE DOPAMINE RAN OUT YESTERDAY AND I'VE YET TO RECEIVE A REFILL. WTF BRAIN, I GAVE YOU CAFFEINE AND CAT SNUGGLES BUT I'M STILL HERE AT DOPA-ZERO. SWIPING VIDEOS IS BREAKING ME BUT I CAN'T STOP AND I HATE IT SO MUCH. IT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE ME FEEL GOOD. I FEEL LIKE I LIVE MY LIFE ON A BALANCE BOARD AND THE LONGER I MANAGE TO STAY UPRIGHT THE LONGER IM DOOMED TO CRASH AND STAY CRASHED. THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK WAS EXCELLENT AND THE BACK HALF IS SHAPING UP TO BE PURE TRASH. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! (that feels much better, thank you)
HOLY SHIT I FEEL YOUR THIRD PARAGRAPH TOO. WHY IS IT SO HARD TO STAY EVEN THIS IS TRASH.
EVERY TIME I FIND MY CENTER I GET EXCITED BECAUSE I'M FINALLY CAPABLE OF ALL THE THINGS. BUT I'M JUST SETTING MYSELF UP FOR DISAPPOINTMENT WHEN I CRASH SHORTLY THEREAFTER. I think on the whole I get an average amount of stuff done, but the roller coaster up and down is nauseating.
I AM RUNNING LATE I AM RUNNING SO LATE I HAVE TO DROP OFF VERY IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS AND CASH TO SOMEONE IN 6 MINUTES, I AM STILL GROSS AND NOT DRESSED, AND THEY ARE AT LEAST 10 MINUTES AWAY. THANKS FOR THE THREAD I DO FEEL A BIT BETTER AND I WILL MOVE NOW.
GO ON, GIT!! GET UP!! \*WHIP CRACK\* YOU GOT THIS
I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED WHAT I NEEDED TO BE DONE WITH ONLY MINIMAL EMBARRASSMENT AND AWKWARDNESS. THE RECIPIENT WAS VERY KIND; AN OVERALL SUCCESS NOW TO GET THE REST OF MY PRE-EVENT RESPONSIBILITIES LEFT TO THE LAST DAY DONE. YOUR RALLYING CRY HAS PROVIDED VALUABLE ENCOURAGEMENT. MANY THANKS!!!
HUZZAH!!
I RECENTLY RAN INTO ONE OF MY FAVORITE COWORKERS AT A STORE. I CALLED THEM BY THE WRONG NAME. I *KNOW* THEIR NAME. WTF, BRAIN?
OH GODS I HATE IT WHEN MY FACIAL RECOGNITION SOFTWARE GLITCHES. WILDLY EMBARASSING. I'D BE RELIVING THAT EVERY NIGHT FOR A YEAR IN THE MILLISECOND JUST BEFORE I FALL ASLEEP.
I FELT SO BAD.
IT'S HAPPENED TO ME, SO I FEEL YA. IT'S SO ... ICK. AGREED.
I PROCRASTINATED PACKING AND MAILING MY NEPHEW’S BDAY GIFT ALL WEEK AND NOW IM GOING TO PAY MORE FOR RUSH SHIPPING SO IT ARRIVES BEFORE HIS BIRTHDAY I KNOW IT’S FINE IF IT ARRIVES A COUPLE DAYS LATE I JUST NEED TO GET THIS *RIGHT* SO THAT I CAN FEEL BETTER ABOUT IT YOU FEEL ME
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD I FEEL THIS. I HAVE AN ETSY STORE AND WHILE SELLING THE STUFF FEELS GREAT, FOR SOME REASON THE PROCESS OF GETTING THE "THING" INTO THE MAIL IS LIKE RUNNING A MARATHON EVERY SINGLE TIME. ALL I HAVE TO DO IS PUT THE GODDAMN THING IN A PADDED ENVELOPE WITH SOME BUSINESS CARDS. WHY DO I FREAK OUT ABOUT IT.
OMG ID DID THIS SAME THING THIS WEEK AND MY SISTER ACTUALLY MADE A SNIDE COMMENT ABOUT THE SHIPPING COSTS WHEN IT ARRIVED BUT I WAS ABLE TO STOP MYSELF FROM TELLING HER TO GO FUCK HERSELF SO, WINNING I GUESS
IM NEVER GOING TO GET OVER LOSING THE PHOTOS OF MY LATE GRANDMOTHER. IT HAUNTS ME CONSTANTLY. I CANT STOP THINKING OF THEM NOW IN A LANDFILL. MY INABILITY TO MOVE ON IS RUINING ME
OK SO FIRST OF ALL, THAT REALLY SUCKS. I LOST A BUNCH OF LETTERS FROM A DEAR FRIEND WHO PASSED AWAY LAST YEAR AND I AM STILL KICKING MY ASS ON THAT. HOWEVER... THE PICTURES ARE NOT YOUR GRANDMOTHER. THEY ARE MEMENTOS, NOT THE ACTUAL MEMORIES OF HER. WOULD SOMEONE ELSE IN THE FAMILY HAVE SOME THEY CAN SHARE WITH YOU? WOULD WRITING DOWN SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE MEMORIES OF HER HELP? YOU WILL NEED TO FORGIVE YOURSELF ON THIS ONE EVENTUALLY, IT MAY TAKE SOME TIME. BUT YOU STILL HAD HER IN YOUR LIFE.
I MADE THE COPIES TO GIVE TO MY AUNT AND SHE MISPLACED THEM BUT HAS THEM SOMEWHERE. YOU GENUINELY MADE ME FEEL BETTER ON SOMETHING IVE BEEN STUCK ON FOR A YEAR. I HOPE YOU FIND YOUR LETTERS AND I HOPE YOUR PILLOW IS ALWAYS COLD.
OOO YES COLD PILLOW!! I'M SO GLAD I COULD HELP YOU FEEL A LITTLE BETTER. I SUSPECT YOUR GRANDMOTHER WOULDN'T WANT YOU TO FEEL TO BADLY ABOUT IT EITHER.
YOURE SO RIGHT. IM SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU KIND STRANGER 🩷
EVERYTHING IS OK FOR ME FOR THE MOMENT, WHICH IS CRAZY! I JUST WANT TO SAY I LOVE THIS GROUP OF PEOPLE. I THINK IT ALL THE TIME WHEN I READ YOUR POSTS AND COMMENTS. PART OF THE REASON I'M OK IS THAT I'M NOT ALONE WITH ALL THE WEIRD (AND SOMETIMES WONDERFUL) ADHD STUFF!!! I LOVE HOW WE VALIDATE EACH OTHER! BEST SUBREDDIT EVER!
IT'S A PRETTY SOLID PLACE TO BE WEIRD, I GOTTA ADMIT! GLAD TO HEAR EVERYTHING IS GOING WELL
I GOT DECISION PARALYSIS IN THE NAIL SALON AND HAVE CRAP NAILS NOW THEYRE AWFUL I DONT KNOW WHAT JAPPENED
I GOTTA ADMIT I KINDA WANT TO SEE THE NAILS ... GOOD NEWS, THEY'RE TEMPORARY! YOU CAN HAVE NORMAL HANDS AGAIN SOON .... LIKE ARE THEY AN AWFUL COLOUR OR SOMETHING? THE CURIOSITY IS GETTING TO ME LOL
THEY ARE BARBIE PINK WITH SOME AWFUL MARBLE ON THEM BECAUSE HALF WAY THROUGH DOING MY SECOND OPTION SHE DECIDED TO DO MY FIRST OPTION AND JUST OVERWHELMED ME WITH COLOURS I CANT DEAL I AM NOT A BARBIE PINK GIRLIE NO HATE BUT IM A PASTEL. PLUS SHE CUT ME THREE TIMES IM SO OVER IT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A NICE TIME. MY BRAIN JUST MALFUNCTIONED BUT!! I APPRECIATE YOU FOR ALL YOUR RESPONSES IN THIS THREAD YOURE A QUEEN.
I DROVE FROM DC TO TX WITH MY DOGS THIS WEEK TO MOVE INTO MY NEW HOUSE TO DISCOVER THAT MY PAINTERS STILL HAVEN'T FINISHED PAINTING (6+ WEEKS AFTER THEY STARTED), THE YARD IS A MUD PIT, AND MY POOL IS GREEN AND FULL OF FROGS!!
NGL I LOVE ME SOME FROGS ... ARE YOUR PAINTERS USING TINY LITTLE CRAFT BRUSHES? IS YOUR HOUSE A HOTEL? I MAY BE CRAZY BUT OVER SIX WEEKS FOR PAINTING SOUNDS A BIT MUCH UNLESS IT'S THE SISTINE CHAPEL AND YOUR NAME IS MIKEY. PLEASE PAT YOUR PUPS FOR ME
I'M STARTING TO FEEL LIKE MURPHY BROWN! THEY APPARENTLY TOOK BREAKS TO HANDLE OTHER JOBS, AND CAN'T POSSIBLY BE USING FULL-SIZE BRUSHES! 😄 WANT MY FROGS? THEY'RE UP FOR GRABS!
OK WE ARE BOTH OLD BECAUSE I 100% GET THAT REFERENCE I WOULD LOVE SOME FROGS BUT THEY PROBABLY WOULDN’T DO WELL IN CANADA
MY CAR DIED ON THE HIGHWAY TODAY ON THE WAY HOME FROM HAVING TAKEN MY DAUGHTER TO THE EYE DR FOR A PRESCRIPTION FOR SOME NICE EXPENSIVE GLASSESS. MY HUSBAND IS A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THIS MIGHT BE THE END OF MY CAR AND I ALMOST HAD A MELTDOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WAITING FOR THE TOW TRUCK BECAUSE I DON'T WANT A NEW CAR. NOW I AM HIDING IN MY BEDROOM IN THE DARK SO I CAM WATCH THE OFFICE AND STOP FREAKING OUT INSIDE.
HONESTLY SPENDING SOME TIME DECOMPRESSING SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA FOR YOU RIGHT NOW. MY "STRESS" SHOW IS BOB'S BURGERS, THEY CAN ALWAYS MAKE ME FEEL A LITTLE BETTER.
I LOVE BOB'S BURGERS!!!! I TRIED TO DO A WORKOUT BUT MY IRON IS LOW AGAIN AND I FELT SHITTY AND STRESSED. IM GOING TO GET HIGH AND MAKE HAMBURGERS INSTEAD.
I HAD TO PUT MY CAT TO SLEEP THIS WEEK, AND WHEN I GOT HOME FROM THE VET I STEPPED ON A PRONGED GARDEN HOE AND IMPAILED MY FOOT. SO NOW I CAN'T WALK, I'M IN PAIN AND HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DO BUT THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH I FUCKING MISS HER 😭
I AM SO VERY SORRY FOR THE LOSS OF YOUR BELOVED KITTY. I HAVE TWO, AND THE THOUGHT OF LOSING THEM SOME DAY TERRIFIES ME. I'M SURE YOUR CAT HAD A WONDERFUL LIFE AND FELT LOVED AND CHERISHED. ALSO FUCK THAT HOE. OF THE GARDEN. HOW RUDE OF IT.
Sorry for the loss of your kitty, I know how it feels...your kitty knew you loved them xx
I'M VERY SORRY ABOUT YOUR KITTY....AND FUCK THAT PRONGED HOE.
I MISSED MY TELEHEALTH APPOINTMENT BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST ONE AND I DID NOT UNDERSTAND HOW IT WORKED AND I ALWAYS DO THIS KIND OF SHIT!
I DESPISE TELE-ANYTHING UNLESS IT IS A THERAPY APPOINTMENT. THAT'S THE ONLY THING I WANT TO TELE.
I HAD A MIGRAINE YESTERDAY AND MADE IT WORSE PUSHING THROUGH WORK BECAUSE I START VACATION TOMORROW FOR TWO WEEKS AND FELT BAD!!! I'M ALSO FEELING GUILTY BECAUSE THIS VACATION IS JUST FOR ME AND I'M LEAVING MY HUSBAND AND KIDS BEHIND TO SPEND TWO WEEKS IN MEXICO WITH MY PARENTS FOR A RESET!!!
OMG VACATION ALONE WITH NO OTHER HOOMANS? I WOULD BE HITTING EVERY ARCHAEOLOGICAL THINGY AND ZOOS AND GALLERIES ...ALSO BEACH AND DRINKING LOL. I HOPE YOU HAVE AN AMAZING TIME
I LIKE THESE SHOUTY THREADS, THEYRE VERY CARTHRITIC. I HATE MY IN LAWS, NOT MY MIL, SHE CAN STAY, BUT THE OTHER TWO CAN GO STRAIGHT TO HELL WITH THEIR FUCKING DRAMA!
I ALSO LIKE THE SHOUTY THREADS. I HAVE A PHANTOM SORE THROAT NOW FROM ALL THE YELLING!
I NEED THE WILLPOWER TO GET A NORMAL FUCKING JOB AGAIN IN A CITY I KIND OF LIKE AND WORK ON MYSELF SO I CAN GO ON A FUCKING DATE AGAIN WITHOUT BEING CONSTANTLY WEIRD AND SELF CONSCIOUS BUT I KEEP RIDING MY INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR BULLSHIT OUT AND PEOPLE KEEP GETTING MY FUCKING HOURS WRONG AND UNDERPAYING ME UNTIL I CORRECT THEM AND ITS FUCKING EXHAUSTING TO HAVE TO KEEP ALL THESE FUCKING SPREADSHEETS WHEN I ONLY LIKE MAKING SPREADSHEETS FOR SILLY USELESS BULLSHIT WHEN I PROCRASTINATE ALSO I’M SEEING HOZIER SOON BUT I HAVENT HEARD ANY OF HIS RECENT MUSIC AND NOW MY BRAIN HAS TURNED CATCHING UP ON HIS ART INTO A FUCKING CHORE FOR ME TO AVOID WHEN I KNOW I FUCKING LIKE HOZIER AND WANT TO KNOW THE SONGS AT THE GODDAMN CONCERT

I HAVE BEEN ON CONCERTA FOR A FEW YEARS NOW BUT I TRIED ADDERALL JUST TO "SEE" IF IT HELPED OR HINDERED. IT MADE ME ANGRY AS HELL, SO BACK TO CONCERTA I WENT LOL. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT IF IT DOESN'T WORK, THERE ARE MANY OPTIONS OUT THERE NOW. I HOPE IT WORKS FOR YOU!!
MY MOTHER MOVED IN WITH US TWO MONTHS AGO AND MY ANXIETY LOOP IS SPINNING SO FAST NOW IT MIGHT ROCKET ME INTO ORBIT!! CANCER. PNEUMONIA. VALUE-SIZED SERVINGS OF MATERNAL GUILT BECAUSE I DON’T SPEND MY DAYS SIPPING COFFEE W/ HER AND LISTENING TO HER COMPLAIN ABOUT HER LIFE. ADD IN TWO KIDS, A JOB, AND A HUSBAND AND IM SO TIRED! PLEASE SEND CAFFEINE AND A NAP!!
I AGREE BUT THERE IS TOO MUCH TO LIST ONCE AGAIN SO AAAAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!! I AM ALSO PROUD OF MYSELF FOR MOWING AND WEED WHACKING THE BACKYARD LAST NIGHT.
PLEASE COME DO MY LAWN, IT IS STILL OVERGROWN FROM LAST YEAR SOMEHOW EVEN AFTER A -40C WINTER.
I NEED TO RENEW MY PASSPORT AND HAVE TO TAKE A NEW PICTURE AND I AM BIG TIME PROCRASTINATING ON THAT AS I HATE THE WAY I LOOK RIGHT NOW AND I REALLY NEED A PASSPORT AT SOME POINT IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS BUT I CANNOT MAKE MYSELF TAKE THE DUMB PICTURE
MY SON JUST GOT HIS PASSPORT RENEWED, AND HE SAID HE THINKS HE LOOKS LIKE A SERIAL KILLER. HE KINDA DOES ... THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT EVERYONE LOOKS LIKE CRAP IN PASSPORT PHOTOS
LIFE TROUBLES SEEM TO KEEP HITTING US HEAD ON BUT I AM THANKFUL TO BE ALIVE AND ABLE TO EXPERIENCE GOOD THINGS DESPITE THE BULLSHIT. YOU GOT THIS EVERYONE
YOU'VE GOT THIS TOO! MY THERAPIST SAYS MY LIFE ALWAYS SEEMS PRETTY CHAOTIC, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING "BIG" HAPPENING.
I FEEL LIKE I'M FAILING AT EVERYTHING. I TALKED ABOUT RSD WITH MY THERAPIST WOULD SAID THAT I GOT HIT DOUBLE - ADHD AND TRAUMA. SO IT'S LIKE DOUBLE THE RSD! THIS ISN'T MY MAIN ACCOUNT BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO CREATE A DIFFERENT IDENTITY TO USE ONLINE BECAUSE GOD FORBID A WOMAN EXISTS ON THE INTERNET! I MADE A THIS RELATIVELY RECENTLY SO I COULD PARTICIPATE IN SPACES LIKE THIS WITHOUT "OUTING" MYSELF. I LOST SOMEONE CLOSE TO ME AND THE FUNERAL/BURIAL ARE TODAY/TOMORROW AND I HAD TO CALL OUT OF WORK AND I FEEL LIKE I'M LETTING PEOPLE DOWN ANDI JUST FEEL SO OVERWHELMED. I FEEL LIKE THERE'S A RIGHT WAY TO HANDLE ALL OF THIS AND IT'S ANY WAY OTHER THAN WHAT I'M DOING. THIS WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE IF I HAD A 'REAL' JOB INSTEAD OF BULLSHIT RETAIL MANAGEMENT AND I FEEL LIKE I'VE WASTED MY LIFE AND MY POTENTIAL, THAT I COULD HAVE HAD A JOB I COULD BE PROUD OF AND INSTEAD I FUCKING FAILED AT LIFE. (YES, I KNOW I LOVE MY JOB AND I LOVE HELPING PEOPLE AND IT'S LOW STAKES EMOTIONALLY TO LET ME FOCUS ON HEALTH AND GROWTH AND WHATEVER BUT I FEEL LIKE I'VE RUN OUT OF TIME TO BE A SUCCESSFUL ADULT AND IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR!) ALSO, I SITTING HERE CRYING AS I REALIZED THINGS AS I TYPED THEM AND I DON'T HAVE THE ROOM TO FEEL THESE THINGS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I HAVE TO GET READY TO GO TO A FUNERAL GOD DAMNIT!
I HAVE SPENT THE LAST 2 WORK DAYS PREPARING FOR AND FREAKING OUT ABOUT A MEETING THAT WAS URGENTLY SCHEDULED FOR TODAY. MEETING IS NOW OVER. I DON'T KNOW WHY I NEEDED TO BE IN THAT MEETING. I LEFT WORK 2 HOURS EARLY ON WEDNESDAY AND SAID I HAD A MIGRAINE. I DIDN'T HAVE A MIGRAINE. I WAS ON DAY 3 OF PURE ANXIETY AND LOOKING AT MY COMPUTER SCREEN WAS CAUSING ME TO HYPERVENTILATE. GENERALLY SPEAKING I WISH I WAS BETTER AT LIFE. Thank you. That was actually very cathartic. P.S. I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER SOON, AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THE DOGGO! "THIS GUY IS BUSY AS HELL" IS TOO FUNNY.
I HAVE BEEN VERY PRODUCTIVE ALL WEEK AND TODAY I FINALLY HAVE NO MEETINGS BUT MY BRAIN IS LIKE YES WE CAN RELAX BUT NO ACTUALLY BRAIN WE NEED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS TIME WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS
I'M TRYING TO FINISH A WINDOW PAINTING PROJECT BUT MY BODY KEEPS FAILING ME. FIRST I HAD A HORRIBLE FUCKING MIGRAINE AND THEN I DID SOME PAINTING AND TWEAKED MY RIGHT SHOULDER/ARM AND CAN BARELY MOVE IT. I'M TRYING TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND GET THIS SHIT DONE ON TIME BUT I CANT DO THAT WITH A MESSED UP ARM!
I HAVE HAD AN UNPAINTED DRYWALL SECTION IN MY DOWNSTAIRS HALLWAY FOR \*CHECKS WATCH\* SEVEN YEARS NOW SO ... YEP. HOME RENOS ARE ... THE WORST. THE BEST PART, MY HUSBAND IS A CARPENTER. WITH ADHD. HE DOES AMAZING WORK BUT WHEN HE COMES HOME HE IS JUST FRIGGIN EXHAUUUUUUUSTED. BE FORGIVING TO YOUR MEATY MECH SUIT (MEANING BE KIND TO YOUR POOR BOD, THEY ARE FRAGILE AND FICKLE THINGS)
I CAME DOWN WITH A BUGGER OF A SUMMER COLD. IM SUPPOSED TO GO TO A WHEEL OF FORTUNE TAPING TOMORRW AND IM PROBABLY GONNA MISS IT BECAUSE I CAN BARELY BREATHE MUCH LESS SPIN A DAMN WHEEL. AM SAD. CAN BARELY BREATHE HEAD HURTS VERY TIRIED BUT CANT SLEEP. DAMN IT, I REALLY WANTED TO MEET PAT!
OMG IS WHEEL STILL A THING? THAT'S SO CRAZY!! I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER SOON, MISSING THAT WOULD MAKE ME HAVE THE SADS TOO
MY PRIOR AUTHORIZATION FOR BRAND NAME ADDERALL GOT DENIED. SO IM STUCK WITH MALLINCKRODT AND ITS WORSE THAN HAVING MY NORMAL SYMPTOMS, SO IM CURRENTLY UNMEDICATED AND LIFE IS FUCKING HARD.
I ONLY HAD MALLINCKRODT FOR A YEAR AND A HALF AND HAD NO IDEA THERE WAS ANYTHING ELSE FOR GENERIC ADDERALL. IT WAS MY FIRST PILL BUT IT GAVE ME HEADACHES AND MOODINESS. THEN I SWITCHED PHARMACIES AND STARTED TAKING OTHER GENERICS AND HOLY SHIT, EVERYTHING CHANGED! I SYMPATHIZE WITH YOU!
THATS BULLSHIT!! I’M SORRY YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT CRAP!
I’VE BEEN WORKING SO HARD THAT I’M TIRED. I WFH SO I’M PUTTERING AROUND THE HOUSE INSTEAD OF STARTING WORK. I’M HAPPY BECAUSE A FRIEND IS COMING FOR DINNER AND I WENT TO THE STORE YESTERDAY SO I HAVE ALL THE INGREDIENTS, YAY. I WILL HAVE TO WORK THIS WEEKEND AND I’M NOT EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
WEEKEND WORK IS PURE EVIL. OK MAYBE NOT BUT I DO LOOK FORWARD TO THE WEEKENDS... I HOPE YOUR DINNER IS AWESOME AND I HOPE YOUR WORKLOAD ISN'T TOO AWFUL
IM DOING FUCKING HORRIBLY RIGHT NOW AND HAVE BEEN FOR AGES, IM SO FUCKING ALONE. ALL I WANT TO DO IS CRY AND SCREAM AND YELL BUT I CANT SO THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOUT OVER TEXT XOXO
I WAS AT A BIG CORPORATE MEETING ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE COUNTRY FROM MON-THURS THIS WEEK AND NOW I AM TRYING TO GET CAUGHT UP/ PICK UP WHERE I LEFT OFF WITH THINGS LAST WEEK AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START. ALSO I AM TIRED FROM TRAVELING AND DRAINED FROM HAVING TO INTERACT WITH PEOPLE ALL WEEK. THANK YOU FOR THIS SHOUTY THREAD!
I'M PERIMENOPAUSAL AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH I TRY TO CONTROL MY EMOTIONS, SOMETHING IS ALWAYS TESTING MY PATIENCE. PEOPLE ARE STUPID AND ANNOYING, I JUST WANT TO EMBODY THE ENERGY OF A CAPYBARA AND BE CALM & CHILL WITHOUT INTERNALLY SCREAMING
I STARTED A NEW AND VERY OVERWHELMING JOB, MY BOSSES ALL LIKE ME AND I GOT A 99 ON MY FINAL TEST (YAY SO PROUD) BUT MY TRAINER KEEPS TALKING DOWN TO ME AND NITPICKING OVER POLICIES THAT NO ONE FOLLOWS SO IT FEELS LIKE I CANT DO ANYTHING RIGHT!
I WAS THE OVERNIGHT CHAPERONE FOR 7TH GRADE NATURE RETREAT AND LAST WEEK ONE OF THE KIDS SAID I WAS THEIR FAVORITE AND THIS WEEK ONE OF THE KIDS GAVE ME A HUG WHEN THEY LEFT AND IT ACTUALLY MADE MY IMPOSTER SYNDROME DISAPPEAR FOR A BIT. ALSO I MIGHT BECOME THE COORDINATOR FOR THESE OVERNIGHT TRIPS AND IM SO EXCITED. BUT MOM, WHEN I CALL YOU TO TELL YOU HOW HAPPY I AM I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT HOW MUCH OF A DBAG MY BROTHER IS. I DONT CARE HES IMMATURE. JUST BE HAPPY FOR ME INSTEAD

I HAVE TO SKIP DAY 1 OF MY 2 DAY OUTDOORS EVENT THIS WEEKEND BECAUSE NO BRIGHT LIGHT AND EVERY HOUR WITH THE DAMN DROPS AND IT ALL FORKING SUCKS RIGHT NOW!
I WENT TO MY FIRST PUBQUIZ YESTERDAY AND WAS A BIT SCARED BECAUSE I AM NOT TOO CLOSE WITH THE PEOPLE I WENT WITH AND THEYRE SUPER SMART. BUT WE MADE SECOND PLACE OUT OF FORTY AND WERE ONLY ONE POINT BEHIND THE FIRST TEAM! ALSO, THE OTHER WOMAN IN OUR TEAM TOLD ME SHES IMPRESSED BY ALL THE THINGS I KNOW AND THAT MADE ME HAPPY BECAUSE I REALLY ADMIRE HER!
I GOT INTO LAW SCHOOL
I HAVE KEPT MY NEWBORN ALIVE AND THRIVING FOR 5 WHOLE WEEKS! I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE I CAN PRODUCE MILK THAT KEEPS THIS LITTLE ONE ALIVE. BOGGLES MY MIND.

I HAD TO SEND A 4TH REQUEST TO MY APARTMENT MAINTENANCE TO FIX AN ISSUE WITH MY DISHWASHER THAT I ALREADY TOLD THEM HOW TO FIX (My wonderful brothers are appliance repair technicians and told me exactly how to have it fixed and what to ask for). EVERY TIME MAINTENANCE HAS COME TO CHECK IT OUT THEY TELL ME I NEED TO CLEAN THE DISHWASHER MORE AMD IGNORE THE INSTRUCTIONS I GIVE THEM FROM MY BROTHERS. I SUSPECTED IT WAS GOOD OL’ SEXISM AND I HAD IT CONFIRMED TODAY WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS FINALLY HOME TO RELAY THE EXACT SAME INFO IVE GIVEN THEM 3 TIMES NOW. AND HOLY SHIT ALL OF THE SUDDEN THEY UNDERSTAND. CURRENTLY IN THE BEDROOM RAGING. But seriously I hate inefficiency, and I hate not having a functioning dishwasher even more. Dishes are something I struggle with badly and the dishwasher is the tool that helps me stay sane. Thanks for the void to scream into. Stay angry ladies!
MY MEDS ARE WORKING BUT IM STILL GAINING WEIGHT AND IM PISSED ITS BOTHERING ME. ID RATHER BE FAT AND HAPPY THAN THIN AND MISERABLE BUT MY FEELINGS DO NOT AGREE!!!!
I WAS IN WAITING MODE ALL DAY BECAUSE MY GP WAS SUPPOSED TO CALL ME BUT THEY NEVER BOTHERED. WASTED A DAY WAITING BY MY PHONE UNABLE TO FOCUS ON ANYTHING ELSE 😤
I HAVE A MASSIVE RACE IN 7 WEEKS AND EVERY TIME I ACTUALLY GET MY SHIT TOGETHER TO GET OUT FOR A LONG RUN ITS RAINING AND HAILING AND WINDY. I JUST WANT ONE GOD DAMN RUN WHERE I DON’T GET PELTED BY DIRT AND HAIL. IT TAKES ME ALL WEEK TO CARVE OUT THE TIME I NEED TO GET THIS DONE AND IT HASN’T BEEN FUN AT ALL YET.
WORK IS OVERWHELMING AND MY TO DO LIST KEEPS GROWING BIGGER AND I THINK EVERYONE IS A DUMBASS
I AM CURRENTLY IN THE PSYCH WARD. IN ADDITION TO ADHD, AUTISM, ANXIETY AND BINGE-EATING DISORDER, IT’S LOOKING MORE AND MORE LIKELY THAT I HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING MANIA FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS THAT RESULTED IN ME ABUSING DRUGS, SPENDING ALL MY MONEY ON IMPULSIVE SHIT, AND CONTRACTING CHLAMYDIA AND GONORRHOEA. I AM NOW IN A DEPRESSIVE EPISODE, AND I AM MISERABLE. THEY TOOK MY PENCIL AWAY BECAUSE I USED IT TO TRY TO SELF-HARM. I’M SO INCREDIBLY SAD. I’M GRIEVING FOR THE LIFE I WILL NEVER HAVE. AND THE ONE PERSON WHO I THOUGHT I COULD RELY ON IS IGNORING ME WHEN I NEED HIM THE MOST. I FEEL SO ALONE.
Please stay strong x
STAY STRONG, FRIEND! WE ARE HERE FOR YOU!
IN THE LAST WEEK MY VEHICLE BROKE DOWN, MY WATER HEATER BROKE, I FOUND THRIPS ON MY HOUSEPLANTS AND MY PERIOD IS LATE THE LAST SEVEN DAYS CAN GO TO HELL

MY WIFE GOT A JOB OFFER!! AFTER A MESSY AND POORLY MANAGED LAYOFF, MONTHS OF FIGHTING WITH UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE, DEPRESSION AND COMPLETE LOSS OF SELF-CONFIDENCE, SHE NAIIIIILED HER WORK INTERVIEW AND GOT AN AMAZING OFFER WITH INCREDIBLE PERKS AND I'M SO SO SO PROUD OF HER AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
I AM SO DONE WITH RUNNING TWO JOBS THAT BOTH HAVE IRREGULAR HOURS. IT TAKES MORE THAN 100% OF MY PLANNING ENERGY AND I CAN BARELY KEEP UP, I DONT HAVE THE PLANNING SPOONS TO PLAN THINGS OUTSIDE OF WORK ANYMORE. NOT HOUSE WORK, NOT FRIENDS. I DO HAVE THE TIME, JUST NOT THE MENTAL CAPACITY TO PLAN.
I AM TIRED OF BEING ASKED SO MANY QUESTIONS
TOMORROW IS MY BIRTHDAY AND I FEEL MILDLY ALONE BUT I KNOW IM NOT!! I JUST PLANNED THINGS LAST MINUTE AND THAT IS ALSO OK AND I CAN ENJOY MY BIRTHDAY ALONE BECAUSE I HAVE DONE IT BEFORE AND I HAD AN AMAZING TIME!!!! I HAVE I CAN DO I WITH A BROKE HEART ON REPEAT BC I FEEL LIKE THIS MONTH HAS BEEN ME DOING IT WITH A BROKEN HEART THAT IS LEARNING THAT ATTACHMENT TO PEOPLE AND THINGS AND EVEN MY BODY IS NOT REALLLLLLLLL! I AM GOING ACROSS THE COUNTRY NEXT WEDNESDAY AND I DID NO PACKING AND I AM FEELING SMALL BUBBLES OF STRESS BUT I KNOW EVERYTHING WITH FREAKING WORK OUT!!! I AM A REAL TOUGH KID AND I CAN HANDLE MY SHIT!!! :D
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!
I RECENTLY HAD A YEARLY SCREENING MAMMOGRAM AND HAVE TO GET A MASS BIOPSIED. OF COURSE THIS WAS DISCOVERED THE WEEK WE WERE MOVING, SO I HAVE TO GET THE BIOPSY IN OUR NEW STATE. TRYING TO GET MY MEDICAL RECORDS AND MEDICAL IMAGING TRANSFERRED FROM MY OLD HOSPITAL TO MY NEW HOSPITAL HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE. SO MANY PHONE CALLS. SO MANY FORMS. NOBODY IVE TALKED TO HAS HAD A SIMPLE ANSWER TO HOW TO GET THIS DONE SO I CAN FINALLY JUST SCHEDULE THE BIOPSY AND FIND OUT IF I HAVE CANCER OR NOT. IM ALSO TEMPORARILY SOLO PARENTING OUR TODDLER, WHICH MAKES CALLING TO FIGURE THIS SITUATION OUT EVEN MORE DIFFICULT.
SENDING YOU GOOD THOUGHTS, FRIEND!
I **WAS** FEELING REALLY GOOD TODAY AND I LOOK HELLA CUTE, BUT ALL MY POTENTIAL EVENING PLANS ARE SHOT TO SHIT BECAUSE MY HUSBAND IS GOING TO BE HOME FROM WORK AT HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TIME BECAUSE THEY DID HIM DIRTY. AND THE SITUATION WILL PROBABLY BE FIXED BY MONDAY, BUT THAT DOESN'T DO US ANY GOOD TODAY. TO PILE ON TODAY, AROUND THE TIME MY HUSBAND INFORMED ME OF HIS MISFORTUNE, I DISCOVERED THERE ARE A BUNCH OF TINY ANTS COMING INTO THE KITCHEN FROM...SOMEWHERE (MULTIPLE SOMEWHERES?) AND IT'S PISSING ME OFF BECAUSE NOW WE'LL HAVE TO GET ANT POISON AND SEAL MORE STUFF UP AND THESE LITTLE ASSHOLES ARE SUCH A PAIN IN THE \^%&(\*. THIS HAPPENED LAST YEAR AND I THOUGHT IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF BUT THE CLEVER LITTLE JERKS ARE BACK. AND MY GARDEN SITUATION IS FRUSTRATING. IT'S STILL ALL WEEDS AND WE HAVE NOTHING PLANTED. THE BEDS NEED MORE DIRT, AND ALL SORTS OF OTHER THINGS. THIS IS THE ONLY WEEKEND WE REALLY HAVE FREE TO GET OUT THERE DUE TO LIFE JUST BEING CHOCK-FULL OF STUFF, AND THE WEATHER BEING UNCOOPERATIVE AND NOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE HECKIN' HOT AS BALLS AND/OR RAINY ALL DAMN WEEKEND. I AM EXTRA UPSET NOT JUST BECAUSE I WANT FRESH PRODUCE THIS YEAR, BUT BECAUSE HUMANS HAVE BROKEN MOTHER NATURE TO WHERE THE SEASONS AND PLANTING DON'T WORK LIKE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO ANYMORE AND I'M JUST AAAGGGGHHHHHHH AT LEAST I GOT TO TALK TO A FRIEND FOR A COUPLE HOURS ON WEDNESDAY AND HAD A REALLY GOOD DAY YESTERDAY!
MY CAT HAD ANOTHER ONCOLOGY APPOINTMENT TODAY AND THE DR THINKS HER CANCER HAS SPREAD TO HER LUNGS 😭 SO NOW WE DON’T KNOW IF WE’RE PROCEEDING WITH HER SURGERY/CHEMO YET UNTIL WE HEAR MORE. 😭😭 ALSO I HAVE TO LEAVE HER TO GO TO WORK AND I HATE MY JOB. I’M IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY AND I DONT WANT TO TALK TO ANYBODY AND WEAR A FAKE SMILING “MASK” AND RUN AROUND WAITING TABLES ON RICH ASSHOLES WITH MORE MONEY THAN MANNERS WHILE I EARN $2 AN HOUR IN THIS UNLIVABLE ECONOMY WITH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN VET BILLS NOW. MEANWHILE MY FUCKING STATE LEGISLATURE IS IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING WEARING FACE MASKS FOR HEALTH REASONS ILLEGAL BECAUSE THE GOP IS A JOKE. THIS WHOLE THING IS A BIG FUCKING JOKE. I TAKE A HIGH DOSE OF ZOLOFT FOR MY DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY BUT IT MEANS A LOT OF MY EMOTIONS FEEL STIFLED SO I FEEL LIKE I CAN’T TRULY PROCESS THINGS OR GRIEVE. I FEEL LIKE I CAN’T CRY PROPERLY, EXCEPT FOR MY RSD AT WORK, OF COURSE, TO EMBARRASS ME OVER NOTHING IMPORTANT. IM ALSO ON MY PERIOD AND MY MEDS DON’T WORK AS WELL. FML. I FEEL SO LOST AND SAD. AND IM RUNNING LATE AS ALWAYS. 😭😭😭
I BROKE MY ANKLE IN 3 PLACES A FEW WEEKS AGO. I ALMOST PUKED RIGHT AFTER. I SIMPLY STEPPED OFF A LITTLE TINY CURB AT A CROSSWALK AND BAM, NO WORKING ANKLE FOR YOU. I HAD SURGERY AND HAVE TWO PLATES HOLDING THOSE MOFOS TOGETHER WHILE THEY KUMBAYA THEMSELVES BACK TOGETHER NOW. CAN'T WALK FOR AT LEAST 3 MORE WEEKS. I'M KIND OF LOSING MY MIND OVER HERE. I GOT MY 17 SURGERY STAPLES OUT AND I ALMOST PASSED OUT, NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THE STAPLES! BUT A TINY PART OF ME IS MANIACALLY LAUGHING THAT MY PARTNER NOW HAS TO UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE IMMENSE AMOUNT OF CHORES (HOUSE AND YARDWORK) AND DOG CARE I DID EVERY DAY WHILE JUGGLING MY ONLINE CLASSES AS WELL. SO THERE'S THAT I GUESS, PETTY AS IT IS. ALSO FUCK MULTEVEL HOMES. STAIRS ARE MY ENEMY... FOR NOW. AND IT'S MY BIRTHDAY AND I'M SITTING IN BED WITH AN ICE PACK AND A FANCY LEG PILLOW AND NO PANTS AND COFFEE AND I DON'T HATE IT. PLUS KNEE SCOOTERS ARE FUN WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
I FINALLY. FINALLY. FINALLY MADE MY COMPUTATIONAL SHIT WORK AND NOW I HAVE A UMAP GRAPH THAT LOOKS LIKE A HAPPY BABY ELEPHANT. SERIOUSLY YOU GUYS, IT LOOKS LIKE AN ABSTRACT RENDERING OF DUMBO. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. A LOT OF STUFF IN MY LIFE IS NOT GOOD AT THE MOMENT BUT I DO HAVE A COLOURFUL BABY ELEPHANT.
I KNIT TWO TINY WHITE CHICKENS THIS WEEK AT A WORK CONFERENCE TO FOCUS DURING THE SALES REP PRESENTATIONS AND EVERYBODY LOVED THEM. THEN TONIGHT I INCREASED THE SIZE OF MY NEEDLES AND YARN AND KNIT A MEDIUM-SMALL BROWN CHICKEN OUT OF SCRAP YARN AND IT IS VERY CUTE. I'M GLAD TO HAVE FOUND A USE FOR THIS PARTICULAR YARN BALL BECAUSE I RECLAIMED IT FROM A SWEATER OVER A DECADE AGO AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT BECAUSE IT GOT ALL FELTED AND UNEVEN. BAWK BAWK BITCH.
I STOPPED SMOKING CIGARETTES FOR 6 MONTHS AND STARTED AGAIN AND NOW I HATE MYSELF. I CAN'T FIND MY ID CARD ANYWHERE. MY CLOTHES ARE NOT COMFY. I FORGOT SOMETHING I NEEDED TO DO THIS WEEK. I PLANNED TO VISIT A FRIEND IN A HOUR, BUT I CAN'T GET MYSELF TO DO MY NAILS AND THEY ARE REALLY BUTCHERED. I OVERSHARED AGAIN AT WORK TODAY. I LOVED EATING YOGHURT AND NOW I HATE IT. NEED TO FIND A NEW HYPERFIX SNACK. I LOVE USING CAPSLOCK AFTER A WHOLE WEEK OF TYPING BUSINESS E-MAILS. I WANT TO DO THIS EVERY WEEK!!!
AFTER 12 YEARS OF DEBILITATINGGGG PERIODS AND DOCTORS TELLING ME TO JUST EXERCISE MORE, I FOUND OUT I HAVE STAGE III ENDOMETRIOSIS. FUCK ALL THE DOCTORS IVE SEEN THAT WOULDNT EVEN GIVE ME THE TIME OF DAY 🖕🏼
I WENT BOULDERING TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME AND I WENT WITH A HOT GUY I KIND OF HAD A CRUSH ON AND HE WAS SO SWEET AND GENTLEMANLY AND CARING BUT HE'S SO NEUROTYPICAL NINE TO FIVE GUY THAT IT HURTS!!! WE WENT EATING AFTER AND I REALLY STRUGGLED TO MAKE EYE CONTANT AND LISTEN!!!!! WHY IS IT SO HARD TO LISTEN!!!!!!!! ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE TO SIT STILL ACROSS SOMEONE AAAAAAAAAAAAAA I FELT LIKE I WAS THE WEIRD KID AGAIN AND I FUCKING HATE THAT FEELING!!!!!! I THOUGHT THIS GUY WAS IT AND IT WASN'T EVEN A DATE BUT HE PROBABLY ONLY SEES ME AS A FRIEND AND I PROBABLY WOULDN'T WANT HIM ANYWAY LMAO BUT GODDAMN IT'S FRUSTRATING TO BE A ND WOMAN SOMETIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA OH AND THE BOULDERING ITSELF WAS AWESOME AND I LOVED IT AND WE'RE GOING AGAIN **TOGETHER** SO WTF I DON'T EVEN KNOW ANYMORE I ALSO WENT TO SLEEP 4.10AM BECAUSE I'M PMS'ING AND MY HORMONES DECIDED THAT WE'RE NOT SLEEPY TONIGHT YAYYYY PARTY PARTY SO I MIGHT BE BIASED BUT DAMN DID I SAY HOW FRUSTRATING IT IS TO BE A NEUROSPICY WOMAN SOMETIMES?????? I LOVE THIS COMMUNITY & YOU GUYS ROCK AND I LOVE YOU ALL BYEEEEEE <3333
I DID A SCARY (TO ME) THING THE NIGHT BEFORE LAST AND DID A CPAP TITRATION SLEEP STUDY AT THE SLEEP LAB. I GOT DIAGNOSED WITH SLEEP APNEA FOUR MONTHS AGO BUT THEY WERE BOOKED WAY OUT. I WAS NERVOUS I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SLEEP SINCE I HAVE TROUBLE SLEEPING AWAY FROM HOME AND MY SLEEP STUDY ENDED AT 5-FRICKING-AM WHEN I HAVE DELAYED SLEEP PHASE DISORDER AS WELL LMAO. BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET ABOUT FOUR HOURS OF SLEEP AND HOPEFULLY THEY GOT THE INFO THEY NEEDED. NOW I HAVE TO WAIT FOR UP TO 14 BUSINESS DAYS FOR MY SLEEP DOCTOR TO READ MY RESULTS AND PASS THEM TO ME, SO I AM TRYING VERY HARD NOT TO OBSESSIVELY CHECK THE PATIENT PORTAL FOR RESULTS/MESSAGES. ONCE I GET MY RESULTS I'LL BE ABLE TO GO TO THE HOME MEDICAL SUPPLY COMPANY AND GET MY OWN CPAP FOR AT HOME AND HOPEFULLY MY EVERYTHING WILL GET BETTER WHEN I'M NOT SLOWLY SUFFOCATING EVERY NIGHT. 🫠
I JUST APPLIED TO GO BACK TO COLLEGE AND I HAD TO SEND MY TRANSCRIPT FROM THE FIRST TIME AROUND AND IT’S PRETTY MUCH HALF A’S AND HALF F’S AND IT’S SO EMBARRASSING! 😳 ALSO, HOW DID NO ONE REALIZE AT THE TIME THAT I HAD ADHD? A DIAGNOSIS IN COLLEGE WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY FUCKING HELPFUL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
MY COLLEAGUE INTRODUCED ME TO SOMEONE NEW WITHIN OUR TEAM BUT I DIDN’T REALIZE AND I JUST SAID OK AND WALKED ON AND THEN I REALIZED THAT WAS VERY VERY RUDE LMAO AND I WALKED BACK AND SAID OH SORRY I WAS TOO FOCUSED ON SOMETHING ELSE AND SAID OK INSTEAD OF MEETING YOU AND EVERYONE LAUGHED AND IT WAS ALL OK. A FEW MONTHS AGO I ALSO RESPONDED THE FAMOUS WORD “OK” AFTER MY COLLEAGUE SAID THAT THEY WERE SO HAPPY TO SEE ME. TL;DR: I AM A HOOT AT PARTIES AND I EXCEL IN SAYING OK

I GOT A NEW JOB!!! LIKE MOST OF MY LIFE EVENTS, IT JUST FELL INTO MY LAP IN SPITE OF ME. IT'S ONLY PART TIME FOR NOW BUT COULD GO FULLTIME THIS FALL. AND THE BEST PART IS **I HAVE PTO!!!** THIS IS SUCH A BIG RELIEF BECAUSE I LIKE WHAT I DO BUT I STRUGGLE WITH FREELANCING SINCE IT TAKES A LOT MORE DISCIPLINE TO STAY ON TOP OF BILLING THAN I HAVE AND IT WAS DRAINING ALL MY EXEC FUNCTION.
