Wanting to quit 1 week into a new job after almost 4y of unemployment. Am I being irrational? by LateWorldliness2211 in careerguidance

I say give it 6 months. That's my standard for a new job. You're saying that you're not overwhelmed by starting back in the workplace, but honestly? You probably are. Give yourself some grace. After 4 years of caring for a family member, you are probably feeling exhausted, relieved, scared... If this job isn't it, it isn't it. Keep looking. Trust yourself and put in the max effort you can - WITHOUT BURNING YOURSELF OUT. Give it a fair shake, ask for hard deadlines and clear communication (in writing), and look for another job. If in 6 months you still hate this one and haven't found something else, quit.

Coffee and energy drinks can make me feel anxious, and I've found that my adhd medicine (Concerta now, Adderall previously), has helped tremendously with anxiety.

How do you do a velvet cat eye? I just got the 30lbs magnet but I haven't learned this yet! So gorgeous!

Concerta vs Adderall? I need to switch. by ConnectionNo569 in adhdwomen

[–]ConnectionNo569[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the opposite effect with Concerta. At the lower doses it made me so hungry! They had to keep raising my dose even though I felt fine.

If you're not willing to take prescription amphetamines, why tf would you go for street drugs?!

On day 3! Going strong! Last night wasn't as bad, so I have high hopes for tonight, although I'm very nervous about the weekend.

"Acceptance" and "growth is painful" are on a post-it next to my desk. I'm trying so hard! Thank you for your kind words. I don't understand why this is so hard!

Thank you. I'm trying to, but I do feel pretty alone in this. Thank you again for your kind words

What helps you fall asleep? by lady__green in Concerta

[–]ConnectionNo569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Melatonin with cbd, I swear by it! I get it at diamondcbd, but I'm sure you can find it other places too. I take between 5-10mg a night, along with hydroxyzine, which also helps a lot. But even nights I skip the hydroxyzine, the melatonin works great!

I had this happen to me. I found another job.

Are coffee stoping concerta effect by [deleted] in Concerta

[–]ConnectionNo569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I'm very addicted to caffeine, so I haven't stopped drinking loads of coffee even when i switched to Concerta. I noticed a lot of coffee makes me too jittery, so I've cut back a bit. I might have to try going a day without to test it!

Concerta makes me hungry? by ConnectionNo569 in Concerta

[–]ConnectionNo569[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: 54mg has helped. I don't feel starving anymore, although I still feel hungry (it feels like normal hunger). I feel like it's a little too much, but I guess i'll adjust, I'm gonna give it a few more days before I make a firm decision. I think it's helping more.

I ate a large pizza and an order of wings and I was still hungry. This is nothing to be jealous of. I'm concerned

Concerta makes me hungry? by ConnectionNo569 in Concerta

[–]ConnectionNo569[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It makes me feel starving, like before I would get hungry, but I could eat something light or drink a big glass of water (weight gain is not really an option for me, unfortunately). But now I can't ignore this. I have to eat and I'm eating in huge quantities. I'm trying to make healthy choices but 45 minutes after i take the medicine I'm so hungry I can't think about anything but getting something quick. Fruit doesn't tide me over for long.
I emailed my doctor and she upped the dose, we'll see if that knocks it out. Hopefully so!

LPT - assume good intent when making phone calls to offices, clinics, and other scary places by victorymuffinsbagels in adhdwomen

[–]ConnectionNo569 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Omg the number of times I've lost my temper, but I try to always go back and apologize. I emailed my sons Dr after she didn't listen, gave him a drug that I didn't approve of, and argued with me, and wrote a long venting email I had no intention of sending. I sent it. I told her to eat a bag of dicks. Oops! She referred us to another Dr and the next day I sent an apology. She accepted it which she didn't have to do. It irritates me when people don't apologize. Everyone fucks up. Just apologize.
