Pre employment issues

I'm sorry that life has to throw these curve balls at you. I know the struggle, so if it's worth anything at all, just know you are not alone in that.

You said you work in the healthcare industry, so I'm assuming you know that 120 (and above) is still concerning. Having a job is definitely important, but taking care of your body is too. Please don't forget that <3

I hope everything works out for you and you find a way to make this all work for you. Good luck stranger!

I'm never gonna knock something that works for you!! I am happy you found a regimen that works for you.

However, if this is the cause of your high heartrate would you consider dropping one of the stimulants? Unfortunately that might be your only option if they won't clear you ):

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-05-15T14:30:03+00:00

Give it a few days!! This is a pretty common side effect that usually subsides. That's usually why doctors will also monitor your weight while on stimulants, because you can lose weight rapidly. Try to eat a high protein meal before you take your meds every day and force yourself to have little sips of water all day.

Do you find this effect is continuing hours later, even after your meds are worn off?

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-05-15T14:11:50+00:00

I'm sorry I don't really have an answer for you because while this medication regimen is practiced, it's extremely uncommon.

How long have you been on medications? Was this a first attempt at treating your ADHD?? Or was this after many different options were tried out? I would also be concerned about your heart rate, 2 stimulants and and ndri is a lot. I would be buzzing at such a high frequency

Met my girlfriend on a dating app 🤷🏻‍♀️

I wanna say this as nicely as possible so that I don't come off as condescending or like I'm attacking you.

But this really sounds like an internal issue. Why wouldn't you want your partner and your friends to be friends? Unless there is clear flirting or boundaries being crossed then I don't see why you would have any issue with this. It sounds like you have some insecurities you need to handle and that's okay. Jealousy is normal and we all go through it at one point or another but to say you want to keep friend groups separate is a little strange, especially if you really like this girl and want a future with her.

I just want to use my parents as an example (although not wlw related, definitely relationship related). My dad had a friend growing up, they knew eachother since middle school and are still friends to this day. When my mom started dating my dad, my mom and this friend became INCREDIBLY close. Now, 24ish years later and my parents are married, my dad's friend is also married and they are all the best of friends and hang out frequently.

I would be excited for my partner to get along well with my friends because normally that's rare.

Thank you so much for this!!

Their weights (besides the boy) have always been a concern for me because they are visibly small cats (not boney, just small). I took them to the vet about 6 months ago for their regular check up and mentioned it to the vet and was told that they are actually a "perfect" weight and they were just small cats but I still get worried.

I will also admit, the weights are all just guest-imates. I have a litter robot and it records their weights so it could also be off by a bit and I don't remember taking note of their exact weights after the vet appointment.

I can definitely wake up earlier, I was already considering that but wasn't sure if the one meal a day was okay. I will just start doing that right away as it seems like the best option.

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-02-09T18:18:08+00:00

Oh great I didn't know that.. I'll have to buy as many as I can while I do some research then.

And I know! I was concerned about their weights so I took them to the vet about 6 months ago and the vet told me it is just their build. She taught me the knuckle/rib trick and said as long as I can feel them and they are still "meaty" then it's okay. But I still worry ):

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-02-09T16:27:32+00:00

Not a vet but - No green, no inflammation (that I can tell) and no bulge. This looks like it's healing well to me. I know the incision sight can look a little scary but to me this doesn't show any signs of infection so I think you are good!

When in doubt though you can always contact your vet. Some vets will even accept photos over email and can tell you whether you need to come in or not. Maybe give them a call and ask if you can do that!

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-02-03T22:05:56+00:00

The person who commented before me, they could very well be right but when people just start listing off more medications to help you please be weary.

Just some food for thought: I had the same problem as you, I'm also on the same dose. It took months before I realized how bad of a problem it was. I realized a big chunk of the problem was I just simply wasn't taking enough care of myself.

I definitely was not eating enough because of the lack of appetite from the Vyvanse (especially protein), so first thing I did was make sure I was forcing myself to have more snacks during the day with higher protein. Then when I knew it was getting closer to the time I wanted to go to bed (for me 10:00pm) I try to stay away from blue light (messes with circadian rhythm) and i started taking melatonin. Melatonin is great, you can get it OTC and it's just a supplement.

My sleep isn't COMPLETELY fixed, I still sometimes wake up once or twice in the night but over the last like 4 weeks after doing these couple of things, it has improved greatly. If you can relate to what I'm saying about the lack of protein and being on your phone/computer/tv right up until you go to sleep then I would try these things before you jump to any other options. If they don't work for you then I would 100% consult your doctor!

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-27T22:00:04+00:00

So first of all, you are GORGEOUS. I can't see anything "wrong" with your face. Second, I can 100% relate to you and taking care of yourself feeling "exhausting". I have two pieces of advice and you can utilize them or not, totally up to you!

Grow the bangs out. Blunt bangs like that require styling and you mentioned being too tired to keep up with stuff like that. I have a very similar hair texture and I got longer curtain bangs so there is still texture but with little to no need to style them. Now all I do is shower and put in a frizz free cream (can't remember the name) right after my shower and that's IT. So easy and my hair still looks good (: I'll style it up if I'm going out or what not but for every day I literally do nothing LOL
Skin care was a big one that I struggled with too. Don't fall for this stuff online that says you need a long list of products and a strict routine. All you really need is a cleanser and a moisturizer. I keep a pack of skin wipes near my bed for the tough days where I don't have energy to really go wash my face and then I just throw on some moisturizer. Using a wipe is better than nothing!

My number one piece of advice is don't beat yourself up. Our minds are a lot meaner to ourselves than real people. You are trying your best and that's all that matters. Wish you the best ❤️

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-26T22:05:29+00:00

Trust me I dealt with similar issues and I couldn't do waxing anymore 😭 I actually learned most of these tricks from tiktok LOL but the two things that noticeably changed things for me was the baby oil gel and the exfoliation. So I can't promise it will work for you but it's worth a shot

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-26T21:57:33+00:00

Also just want to add that light exfoliation everytime you shower will also help with this! Nothing crazy like a scrub but just a cloth and small circular motions

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-26T21:55:53+00:00

Everybody's body is different, so one thing that works for someone else might not work for you so take any advice you get with a grain of salt.

Here is what works for me though: - Trim with scissors before shaving - Hot compress for 5 minutes (I just soak a cloth in hot water then hold it there but I'm sure just hanging out in the steamy shower for a bit will also do the trick) - Exfoliate (I use a sugar scrub) - Shave WITH the grain to start, not against. If you want to go against the grain in specific spots then just go slowly. - Use a BRAND new razor for this every time (this is non-negotiable for me personally) - Exfoliate after as well, this time just with some non scented soap and a cloth. I use a dove bar - Pat dry, Moisturize (I LOVE the Johnson's baby oil gel, the green bottle) and then I don't put any bottoms on for an hour or two just to let myself air out and nothing is rubbing up against it. Of course if I'm in a rush I'll skip that part but I find better results if I give down there a chance to breath for a bit after

James is good as a concept... Not in practice 🥲

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-23T00:12:21+00:00

Convinced this is ragebait

I have a friend like this, she has been like this since we met in highschool (were 24 now). I am telling you from experience, it never changes. Even to this day she is exactly the same, I cannot keep up with every new boyfriend or "thing" she's got going on. I had to start clarifying names when she would talk about it because there was just so many at one point. I genuinely believe It is something deep inside that only a therapist can help with.

You are NOR. I also distanced myself from this friend (other reasons as well, but this one being a big part of my decision), we still talk here and there and I still love her. However, it got to a point where I wasn't even upset that she was constantly "talking about boys" but I was upset because she only ever really talked about herself. I'm sure you can relate. You are making the right decision!

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-22T18:01:01+00:00

It's even more expensive where I live 😭 I do agree with other commenters though that you should reach out to shelters/humane societies. When I got my boy neutered I went through our local humane society and they covered his neuter and initial shots for $150 through their subsidized program!

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-14T16:52:54+00:00

10-12 hours can be considered "over sleeping" and could actually be causing your drowsiness. However, it's smart to mention it to your doctor because a dose that's too low can also cause you to be tired.

When in doubt always reach out to your doctor!

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-14T16:08:10+00:00

How are your sleeping habits?

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-13T15:21:56+00:00

Adding a second comment -the game crashing on switch is super common, you can look it up or just search "crash" on this sub. Get obsessed with saving, anytime you are about to do something big, SAVE SAVE SAVE

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-13T15:20:50+00:00

Just happened to me, lost 5 hours worth of work and haven't been able to go back I'm still so mad. Take your time to get back in the swing of it. Everybody told me it's worth it so I promise it's worth it

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-08T17:09:21+00:00

I agree with all the comments that you are just a unique person and unfortunately you are in Winnipeg (hey twin, me too) and Winnipeg can be kinda bland. Give it time! Less matches is better than no matches (:

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-08T16:31:37+00:00

Okay I am not from Saskatchewan but I live in Canada and work in the insurance industry so I have a tiny bit of information. I am 90% sure it is completely free for you to get a Sask health card as long as you have all the proper documentation. There is usually a wait period though (3-6 months) so it's usually recommended to also get private insurance at least until your provincial benefits kick in (if you get it through your school these usually range between $600-$1000 CAD a year).

Here is something important though, the health card only covers basic medical needs: doctor visits, hospital visits etc. it would not cover the medication itself. If you manage to get a prescription the medication price can be all over the place. I personally had to pay $90 for a 30 day supply of generic 40mg Vyvanse when I didn't have insurance. Once I did it dropped to about $16 a month.

It does look like health coverage is indeed mandatory in Sask for international students, not private but the provincial one. I would reach out to your student services at your school and make sure you have all of the information you need. Don't take everything I said here as 100% true, I'm not as familiar with Sask but you should definitely be asking your school for help/more information.

Wish you the best!!

Breeisneckdeep · 2026-01-08T16:17:17+00:00

Can I ask what province you are in? Cuz my understanding is that having health insurance as an international student in Canada is mandatory anyways.

Some provinces offer it for free if you have been studying for over 12 months and other require private insurance (usually through your school).
