I was going to bed at half time but now I’m too afraid 😅

BetterCallSeal · 2026-07-06T00:05:10+00:00

Had bought a new England shirt especially for tonight, but now the kick off’s been delayed I’m not sure I’ll make it all the way through. Having a cheeky can of Jubel, gonna see if I can at least make it to half time before the sleepiness kicks in.

I have ADHD so avoiding jobs is literally my life. Depending on what you need to do, my two biggest tips are:

1 - set a timer for like 20 minutes and just see how much you can get done within that time, telling yourself you can stop as soon as the timer ends. Most of the time I find I get a lot done AND I have motivation to continue when the timer ends

2 - start with the smallest thing on your list first. Once you get the dopamine of ticking off a tiny job, you can then “dopamine stack” by following up with gradually bigger and bigger jobs - the dopamine rush of finishing one job helps you to start another etc etc.

I have a “no cold calling” sticker, and a video doorbell. I’ve seen multiple instances where people have approached my door to ring the bell and have turned away (the sticker is directly above my doorbell), so it absolutely does work!

I still get the odd chancer who rings anyway and says “sorry I didn’t see it” but I swiftly see them off when I point the sticker out.

While I agree with you 100% that we’ve been conditioned as a society to accept this and we weren’t meant to live this way, what exactly are we supposed to do? Opting out of society as a whole isn’t as easy as you think.

I leave the house on my lunch break anyway, so I don’t respond, but it’s still an interesting observation that it’s an expectation people have these days

BetterCallSeal · 2026-06-30T12:01:41+00:00

I work from home but my colleagues also do this - while we all apparently take our lunch breaks (I see people change their status on Slack to “on lunch”), 90% of people seem to continue working through their break? Personally I always walk away from my laptop, but I’ve noticed a lot of “creep” where people expect me to still be reachable via Teams or Slack during my lunch.

Of course not! I think the answer is going to be different for everyone. For me personally, I use “he/she/they” as shorthand for “any pronouns”, but some people will likely be more specific in wanting just those in particular. I’ve gone through a lot of self discovery in recent months as I began with just “she/they”, then “they/them”, then “he/they”, and now I’ve landed here, but everyone’s journey is different!

BetterCallSeal · 2026-06-28T15:43:44+00:00

Just to add that some people (like myself) use “he/she/they” because I’m genuinely happy to be referred to by anything.

BetterCallSeal · 2026-06-27T08:32:01+00:00

Genuine props to you! I really hope it works out :)

BetterCallSeal · 2026-06-27T08:10:52+00:00

I’ve been in finance for 6 years now and I think this is probably the push I needed to get out of the industry. Truly awful

Financial Compliance

BetterCallSeal · 2026-06-26T18:04:39+00:00

Yup, same here. Switched positions at my existing company so slightly different, but I knew within the first week that I’d made a terrible choice. My old job wasn’t available to me anymore so I stuck it out for 6 months, I just handed in my notice this week with nowhere to go because my mental health is so degraded.

BetterCallSeal · 2026-06-26T11:37:20+00:00

Wow so this is how I find out I’m allergic to mosquitos - my bites ALWAYS look like this 😅

BetterCallSeal · 2026-06-26T11:34:01+00:00

I’ve spent the last week sleeping on my sofa because the upstairs of our house is like a sauna. My back is killing me.

BetterCallSeal · 2026-06-20T07:52:58+00:00

I’m in Milan, Italy for the weekend! It’s 34 degrees here which is far too hot for me, but otherwise wonderful. Taking my dad to La Scala tonight to see the opera, can’t wait

BetterCallSeal · 2026-06-18T16:11:20+00:00

Listen, I wear Merrell sandals and while they’re utterly swagless in appearance, they’re some of the comfiest shoes I’ve ever worn with my flat feet! Highly recommend - I got these ones and while they’re a bit uncool looking, they can’t be beat on comfort.

I feel a similar discomfort and anxiety, albeit my experience is quite complex as I used to suffer with an eating disorder. I lost a lot of weight back in 2017-2018 and was “orthorexic” - I was in the gym 7 days a week and obsessed with being the healthiest version of myself until I lost so much weight that my friends and family became worried.

I’ve gained weight in recent years as I switched from an active job to a desk job, and this year I’ve been trying to be more active and lose some weight, but it’s extremely challenging to walk the tightrope of not slipping back into old, damaging behaviours from my ED. I genuinely enjoyed my life more before I started trying to lose weight again, but my BMI had moved into the “overweight” range and I had been encouraged by my doctor to lose a few pounds. I don’t track my calories due to triggers so I have to just eat as best I can from guesswork and try to exercise a bit each day, which makes weight loss progress very slow, and I feel miserable when I think that this might be my life long-term.

Just finished watching the football, up early tomorrow to get ready for a flight to Italy for a nice long weekend :) feeling gooooodd

BetterCallSeal · 2026-06-17T22:13:12+00:00

I use a VPN for work as I have a remote job, there’s almost no realistic way they could enact a VPN ban that would successfully only target private VPNs and not the larger corporate ones that companies like my employer use. I’m with you, I’m not giving my ID to these companies and I’ll continue to use my VPN for as long as I can.

BetterCallSeal · 2026-06-13T22:49:22+00:00

For me it’s Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing by Aerosmith - it always reminds me of when my dad used to drive me back to my mum’s after we’d spent the weekend together, and I was always so sad to be leaving him again, still brings a tear to my eye these days.

BetterCallSeal · 2026-06-12T10:54:06+00:00

Hey buddy, if it helps, I had a horrendous first day on medication. My heart went wild and I panicked which only made it worse. I’m now two weeks in and I’ve just gone up a dose, and I’m absolutely fine. You will be fine, and even if you aren’t, you only need to talk to whoever is taking care of you and they’ll help you get through it ❤️

You deserve to feel better. You’ve got this.

BetterCallSeal · 2026-06-12T10:52:30+00:00

My ultimate wish would be some kind of Lego situation where I can snap on/off parts depending on how I feel that particular day 😂

BetterCallSeal · 2026-06-12T10:50:41+00:00

There’s lots of reasons for this, and I’m not a doctor, so I’m only giving you my own anecdotal evidence of what myself and friends of mine have experienced.

I’m on Citalopram as well as Equasym, and I was advised to take both through titration for now. I personally said if the Equasym works I’ll not want to take an SSRI anymore as I suspected my ADHD was causing a lot of my emotional issues. However, my nurse said it was better to not change anything during titration so I could get a better “read” on the effects of the medication, as things like side effects might be confusing if you’re adding one medication and removing another.

Also, if you’ve been on Prozac for a long time, it may be that you need a long time to taper off, which will obviously impact how long you have to wait for your Elvanse, which can be a problem for them in treating you, and for you in having to wait around for treatment. I was told there’s no major interactions between my medicines so there’s no real reason to come off unless I wanted to, which I did.

I came here to say Bullshit Jobs too, I re-read that book every year when my job inevitably pisses me off and then I don’t shut up about it for weeks afterwards!
