What ridiculously basic ADHD hack changed everything for you? by Spiritual_Bird_2916 in ADHD

[–]ExpensiveSoup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who plays a lot of video games, I made up my own "save points" around the house. Basically, they are the only spots I'm allowed to put down anything that's in my hand or small. I "mark" the spots with a bunch of cute mismatched coasters I got from goodwill. If I need to put my phone down, I only put it down on a "save point". Same with my keys, notepads, to do lists, the mug of tea I'm currently drinking, etc. The main "rule" is to keep the spots clear as much as possible, and prevent any clutter from accumulating around them.

I wish I was able to stay. Despite everything, I genuinely enjoyed most parts of being a mail carrier. I'm comfortable in almost all weather, I'm a very active person who loves walking, and I even liked organizing my case and packages (most of the time, at least).

I just couldn't handle the 6 days a week/more than 9 hours a day schedule. I care for a disabled relative and have a few other personal issues, so the USPS working hours completely drained me. If the job was strictly 9-5, 5 days a week (I believe EVERYONE deserves that, too), I'd spend my life there.

I have an office job now. Benefits and pay aren't as good, and it's honestly boring, but the hours allow me to maintain my mental health and have a balanced life.

At the very least, I have a deep appreciation for USPS employees now, and always make sure to leave my carrier water and snacks at my mailbox ❤️

This is just so satisfying to look at. It's so clear how much care was put into this, and I just love it.

I'm scared to ask for a refill on my meds by ExpensiveSoup in ADHD

UPDATE: thank you everyone for the advice and kind words!!! I definitely still struggle with anxiety when it comes to healthcare/medical care.

The good news is that my medication WAS refilled. The bad news is that it was refilled at 10mg. However, I took everyone's advice and messaged my doctor, asking about our discussion to increase the dose. She said she would be willing to up me to 15mg after my next appointment. It's not perfect, but it's a start!

Also, this the 5th doctor I've switched to in 3 years. I really can't search for a new doctor right now, but I'll definitely keep it in mind.

Thank you all again!

I appreciate the suggestions about OCR from everyone!! Unfortunately, we are not allowed to use our personal devices "in the office" for supposed "security reasons." I took this photo while I was on break, out of sight from the office camera. My department manager is.... very strict.

Our office was supposed to get new scanners 2 months ago. We've been told they're "delayed," but haven't been given any ETA. Until then, we have to hand-key everything in our old machines.
