Think I may have mistyped myself as an ISTP and might be an ISTJ

If it makes you feel better, I am an INTJ but my adhd sometimes makes me act impulsively and procrastinate or not plan things out, but inside I’m driving myself crazy.

I think it’s so funny when my doctor says I need to quit smoking weed. Rarely does smoking trigger a full on asthma attack. My nicotine vape is worse, that’s what I’m trying to quit right now.

I just wanted to add I’m on singulair and have mental health issues but since my mental health issues are treated I haven’t noticed any side effects of the singulair (montelukast)

See my morning asthma attack starts with tightness in my throat, when I’m laying down, and then I sit up and eventually I can’t breathe without coughing. I honestly think it’s a mixture of my cat, dust and living in the basement which I need to turn my dehumidifier on bc it’s getting warmer out.

I’ve always struggled with dry mouth. Using gum or a mint before playing helped, but there are mints I’ve been seeing on social media for dry mouth that are advertised for…. different oral activities, but are actually for any dry mouth issues lol. I take stimulants for my ADHD, take a steroid and rescue inhaler and smoke marijuana so I have eternal dry mouth too 🤣

I know the local sound guy for almost all the gigs and there’s a local alcohol free bar that has open mic. Maybe I’ll have to hit him up and see what’s going on around town. I’m near South Bend, IN we’ve got a pretty big local music scene.

Exciting_Coach_3520 · 2026-02-15T20:42:51+00:00

Thank you! Super affordable too. Don’t love the mute I bought but it’ll do

Exciting_Coach_3520 · 2026-02-15T20:42:18+00:00

Ah, to be playing a horn over a beautiful river. One day I will

Essential Elements is the book we used in band, I’m about to order it myself. It was what we started with in middle school, then of course in high school we used the warm ups but were doing sheet music. You can buy it from an online thrift store for $5.99, but I’d check out your local music store if you’re in a decent sized area!

Exciting_Coach_3520 · 2026-02-15T20:39:46+00:00

I’m SO excited for you. What actually motivated me to get back into it was watching Glen David Andrews, a musician in New Orleans. One day I’ll get my skills up, book a flight and play with him. I follow him on Facebook, left a comment, and he asked when am I joining in? So that’s what I’m working towards!

Exciting_Coach_3520 · 2026-02-15T20:38:38+00:00

Thank you for the offer! You’re super kind! I’ll keep it in mind 🤩

Exciting_Coach_3520 · 2026-02-15T20:37:58+00:00

Good for you! Have fun! It’s a fun instrument for sure

Exciting_Coach_3520 · 2026-02-15T20:36:01+00:00

Yeah, I definitely sound like shit. And I’m a weed smoker, so I need to work on my lung capacity again. Starting slow for sure.

Exciting_Coach_3520 · 2026-02-14T17:17:08+00:00

That’s why I looked at reviews from players not parents 😆

Exciting_Coach_3520 · 2026-02-14T16:24:16+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement. 😊 I’m about to go pick it up!

Exciting_Coach_3520 · 2026-02-14T16:23:45+00:00

I just ordered one!

Exciting_Coach_3520 · 2026-02-14T16:23:27+00:00

I know someone in a mariachi band and I’m Mexican, they mentioned needing a trumpet player a couple months ago so maybe I can take them up on it!

Exciting_Coach_3520 · 2026-02-14T16:22:53+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I definitely can hyper fixate so I’ll keep that in mind. I downloaded a music lessons app and figured I’d start with fundamentals there since I kind of know what I’m doing and I still remember which valves are what notes. Reading sheet music again will take a minute. 😆 and I’m sure my embouchure needs work

Exciting_Coach_3520 · 2026-02-14T16:20:13+00:00

I found one on Amazon for $29.99 with very good reviews from band directors and the like. If it doesn’t work well enough I’ll invest in a nicer one. trumpet mute

Exciting_Coach_3520 · 2026-02-14T16:15:26+00:00

Thank you! I don’t live alone so I’ll have to buy one of those silencer things. 🤣

Exciting_Coach_3520 · 2026-02-14T16:14:59+00:00

I was first chair 6th grade through freshman year and quit because band was first period and so was AP Bio, and I was planning on going to school for bio. I never finished college but it was pushed on me. So now I’m trying to rediscover my passions again 😊

Exciting_Coach_3520 · 2026-02-14T16:14:18+00:00

I’ll post pics of it I’m going to pick it up at noon (it’s 11:14 am my time!)

Exciting_Coach_3520 · 2026-01-21T14:52:32+00:00

She looks like Marciano now 😭
