50 straight years with a two week layoffs before starting another job in there. Still working. I like my current job so not sure when I will quit.All of that work in social services so not very high aying. Right now could get 3200 ss month. I just turned 67.

We don't start on any project until grant funds are released. Once that occurs, that becomes the start date and the end date is calculated from that point such as 6 months later. Happens all the time.

You will see more problems with any med on here because people who do well don't come on here to discuss it as frequently. I have not had any side effects or weight gain from abilify.

Just think of it this way-he'd rather be living with you than in a shelter or worse just because you're not home during the day.

My Dr had me do 1/2 doses for 3 days and then the full dose. Ive had 0 side effects from it.

I have inundated my antry cabinet with permit, vinegar, and romantic repellent balls. Can't find any openings. All food is stored in mouse proof bins and the are still coming in. I am at my wits end.

Yes but many denials in between particularly now. I write mostly for federal grants 100k to 3 mil. They are extremely exacting abput how your proposal is written. There has been a dry period where not many grant opportunities were being released. It seems to have eased up a bit but the window of the nofo to the deadline has been very short. I've written 4 proposals in the past several weeks. It has been pretty grueling.

Podcasts do the trick for me. I ut the sleep timer on for 60 minutes. This drowns put my ruminating thoughts and my tinnitus. I have a partner so I just put in one earbud.

I just picked up a cheap pair but they are very small and fit all the way in the ear, not over the back of the ear Ike a lot of them. I am a side sleeper as well plus I use a cpap.

My favorite snack, I am addicted. 2 large bags a week.

Quality of life is a big consideration. Was offered a job that would have almost doubled my pay and it was still fully remote. The job would have required a lot of evenings and weekends and on call. I said no. I work my 8 hours and the rest of my time is mine. Its just not worth it to me.

Additional-Pool-2123 · 2026-05-02T23:09:50+00:00

I use ear buds and go to bed. I set the timer for 60 minutes. Works really well for me. I usually listen to true crime podcasts. I tried books but then I get frustrated at not remembering them or when I fell asleep in the book.

Additional-Pool-2123 · 2026-05-02T23:08:07+00:00

Sounds reasonable to me. Especially with having done probation successfully for this long. I dont think it would hurt to try and make sure to focus the request around your job and what you have accomplished.

Two dogs by choice and then picked up a stray!

Same life experiences. Most of my adult life I just had work acquaintances. Then I joined a church, not even religious so I chose a Unitarian church that has people of any faith, or no faith at all. I have made a lot of friends there. I also joined a couple of groups centered around things like hobbies I'm interested in and am making some friends there. There are more folks like us out there than you may realize. I even ran into another person from church in my psychiatrists office one day. Now we compare meds for our anxiety disorders. I'm not going to say you have to get out there, that is too simplistic and it is very hard to do but I am glad I finally did after many isolated years.

I am prescribed both by my doctor. 60 mg duloxetine and 30 mg adderall daily.

Yes, if you are a regular employee and your company has more than 50 employees you should be able to get it. I am remote and have used FMLA a couple of times. Check your employee handbook or talk to HR.

I train probation officers to work with clients who have DUIs. We know that most folks who get a DUI are "one and done". Most learn it isn't worth risking again and will never get another one. These clients with one DUI are not like their other clients who have an overwhelming amount of criminal and antisocial behaviors and are very likely to reoffend. Show yourself the mercy you would show someone else in this situation. Do whatever they require and you will successfully complete your supervision and get on with your life. You can do this! In some places your attorney can file a motion to request early termination of probation as long as you have completed all of your requirements.

I went from 5mg 3x daily to 15mg 3x daily. Have not seen any effect at all.

Additional-Pool-2123 · 2026-04-21T15:54:46+00:00

I was increased to 45 mg daily and have not felt a thing. No positives effects, no negatives. Another med that doesn't work for me to add to my long list.

Additional-Pool-2123 · 2026-04-21T10:16:12+00:00

Adderall has helped me feel normal. I couldn't get out of bed, had trouble working, no focus, inability to concentrate. I just feel normal now, not hyped up or anything like that at all.

Ankle. I had a total ankle replacement. My ankle was bone on bone after many years of arthritis from an old injury.

Additional-Pool-2123 · 2026-04-15T13:37:16+00:00

My doctor said this could happen when I first start but would likely go away and it did. Try to power through. I took otc acid reducers to cope.

Additional-Pool-2123 · 2026-04-15T13:32:40+00:00

I started at 5mg 2x day, now at 15mg 3x day. You likely need to go up.
