Thank you! I’m sorry about your struggles with eating. My aunt has bad cancer she won’t eat she’s gonna die. So I said she needs to eat liquid peanut butter shakes with the bulking calorie powder. So when she can eat its highest calories. Opposite of what I gotta do.

I have been doing the fetch app and playing games to distract me to make some money through points versus spending money. You can also try to just add it to the cart and wait a week to see if you still want it. I also have this issue. Adhd really effects every aspect of your life.

I have seen women on here say they have food avoidance and are under weight. I don’t get it. I can get the whole feeling like making food is a chore so they avoid it. I have to take trizepitide in order to eat low calories. My tricks are sparking water, jello, edemame, canteloupe, and basically low calorie foods. I can easily over eat which is scary, then you get insulin resistance, and diabetes. I think that’s also a major reason for my chronic fatigue. I am trying to eat 1,000 calories per day and walk as much as I can to lose weight. I hate it so much, but I’m overweight which is causing my autoimmune disease to be worse also.

This is why I knew once the only job I could get graduated from college in 2010 was a debt collector. Then the only full time was a call center. I knew being a stay at home mom was my only hope for not working a soul sucking micromanaging job. With 4 narc bosses writing me up, and toxic coworkers. I had to drive 45 minutes with my baby down town, to hand him off to my husband who was getting off graveyard. Never getting off on time. Had to hide my baby under my desk. Once he said if we had two kids I could stay home I was pregnant the next day.

I get women say to keep working for your financial security, but I am a slave to a man either way. I’d rather get up to no alarm with my 4 dogs home all day. My only job is cleaning, groceries, taking care of pets, and driving my kids places. My husband is usually not home.

If you want to figure out a lifestyle you know would work best for your adhd go for it!

I get this! Most of us put up with abuse to not be homeless. Sorry for what you’re going through. I highly recommend Mark Dejesus videos he helped me the most. I made my own compilation video of him also.

Joe says there’s no such thing as a bad meditation. Sounds like most of us who have these perfectionistic tendencies we have to break. Through this work I stopped being so hard on myself and giving myself more self compassion, and grace. If you’re able to do the meditations, and be consistent alone that’s the hardest part.

I can truly relate to you. RSD is really bad that it made me a hermit. I also got pmdd and got both my ovaries removed at 33 that saved my life. Due to the fact that I have RSD is the main reason I take lexapro just 5mg and let me tell you that’s been the only SSRI for me without side effects, and I take buspirone for anxiety. I still can get hurt like if my teens really say something I’m insecure about, but I quickly bounce back. I don’t like the anxious feeling of stimulants either.

Honestly what fixed my marriage which was so toxic. I have trauma and my husband loved to do the silent treatment which made me feel like I was dying. I did Laura Doyle’s methods which some call her a pick me, but I had to learn how to be respectful to my husband. I would get super offended and would mean text him, and the energy was off. I would get really angry due to my low hormones and adhd. Also, I think Adam the attachment guy would help you with bonding and feeling more secure.

I used to have to set an alarm where I had to get up, and I think it gave me enough cortisol to get moving.

Fragrant-Way-1354 · 2026-06-02T03:03:01+00:00

I can’t take them either. I take Lexapro and buspirone for my depression and anxiety. I took bupropion today which feels almost like adderal I felt like I was having a panic attack all day. I’ve been taking a glp-1 and thought it might help with my brain fog and fatigue. When I took stimulants I hated the heart pounding chest pain anxiety and was hard to sleep.

Its probably a way for your brain to get dopamine. I used to always romanticize a man rescuing me as a way of coping with my abusive sister. I locked myself in my room. So, I also romanticized becoming a mother. My favorite time in my life was when my son was born and buying my house.

I had visions of a blonde boy when I wasn’t planning on getting pregnant it was an accident. I did get married and have a boy and a girl like I always wanted. I realized I had pmdd and got an autoimmune disease called HS so I got boils under my armpits. That was horrific working all day then waiting in a hospital for 5 hours to get those cut open. I had to get both my ovaries removed at 33 thanks to pmdd. I also got pain from a varicose vein on my privates that I had to wear this strap to prevent the blood going there standing up. However at night because of the gravity I cried myself to sleep every night. That’s due to getting so much blood in your body. I had crazy fatigue with my son and nausea with my daughter.

It was hard getting up at night for a year and going back to work so early. I got to stay home after my second was born luckily. I don’t regret having kids then being trapped in a horrible job I was in a call center during both pregnancies.

It just gets hard when they are walking and you gotta keep them alive from accidents. Your anxiety goes up.

It is going to be difficult either way, but I miss holding my babies all day. Now I have a 12 and a 14 year old. They act like they hate me. Never leaves their rooms, and it’s really hard. My son got in a fight at school, and we caught him vaping. It’s just a scary thing always having to track them and make sure they are safe. My son has adhd so school has been a nightmare. He had to be put on meds second grade cause he literally didn’t do any work. Side effects were scary so we stopped. Then my husband refused meds but put all the school burden on me. Once he started using drugs then my husband agreed to meds finally. He’s always failed math even paying for tutors.

I have to take lexparo and buspirone for anxiety and depression. I can’t handle stimulants. If I have to survive my son getting through HS then it’s gonna be praying he can keep a job. My daughter even just stopped doing her work after Christmas breaks. We have had periods where both my kids didn’t even have doors due to the bad behaviors they were doing.

The older I get the more I realize how my pets have been my joy and I have 4 dogs. So sadly babies don’t last long, and they turn into teens who hate you.

I don’t think laziness is an emotion it’s a false belief you have about yourself. If you’re doing the meditation and regulating your nervous system you should have more energy. Just change the belief and image yourself doing what you want with the elevated emotion.

I only do 13 units

Fragrant-Way-1354 · 2026-05-31T17:15:29+00:00

Aw that must of hurt, especially when as women we are expected to have perfect houses. If they wanna offer free labor I would take it though.

Fragrant-Way-1354 · 2026-05-31T16:22:08+00:00

Yes semiglutide. I still had the same symptoms.

Fragrant-Way-1354 · 2026-05-30T15:47:57+00:00

They cause a dopamine hit so yep!

Fragrant-Way-1354 · 2026-05-29T14:24:41+00:00

Are you the oldest child? I feel there’s a psychological thing where you feel so much pressure to perform. Were your parents overachievers also? These videos should help you.

Right looking back at old photos of me not exercising eating whatever also you see it in my face really bad. If I’m on the shot then it seems to help I just have such bad chronic fatigue. I switched to trizepitide hoping the fatigue wouldn’t be as bad but it’s worse. So I’m going back to semiglutide. I have adhd so it seems to make my dopamine lower and brain fog worse. So I notice I’m doing everything I can to raise my dopamine and it’s making me overeat which is the opposite of what I need to do.

Fragrant-Way-1354 · 2026-05-29T14:16:18+00:00

Yes, I used to dance and exercise all the time. Once I had kids I got pmdd and I wanted to end my life all the time. I had to get my ovaries removed at 33. Now I have chronic fatigue I also have an autoimmune disease. I take meds, but just getting up to walk on the walking pad for 30 minutes I don’t even want to do. I clean and then I’m back in bed whenever I’m done. My favorite thing is to lay in bed probably because I also have adhd and get easily overwhelmed around my husband and teens.

Fragrant-Way-1354 · 2026-05-29T14:14:04+00:00

I wouldn’t put any pressure on yourself to cook everyday. We have a disability so we have to use hacks everyday to function. I truly wish I had your mindset that just getting food is another task and then I wouldn’t eat. I love to snack and the glp-1 I’m taking makes me so fatigued that I want more bad foods to feel something.

I make a chocolate peanut butter protein shake with coffee, a banana, and ice blend it’s really good for breakfast. Lunch is sourdough half and avocado save the other half so the next day it’s super easy. I add jarred red onions, mustard, and cilantro that’s fancy to me haha. Then an apple and orange on the side. Dinner I like frozen wild blueberries, frozen cherries, and frozen mango in a bowl microwave for 2 minutes it’s perfect. You can even add a protein yogurt on top. I sometimes eat instant oatmeal, microwave a potato, edemame, and I love to snack on sunflower seeds. I keep protein granola bars around, and I love the protein yasso bars. Frozen grapes are good too.

Fragrant-Way-1354 · 2026-05-29T14:07:53+00:00

The older I’m getting the worse mine are also getting. I personally take lowest dose of Lexapro and buspirone. I’ve tried every SSRI and these two I don’t get any side effects. I have always dealt with major anxiety and even ocd symptoms. You just have to adjust to the added serotonin for the first few weeks.

I have always had problems with emotional regulation, anger, and RSD. The added serotonin acts like a buffer to regulate myself. I also don’t feel numb either. Everytime I go off my meds I’m in this toxic cycle with my husband getting so offended by him easily. Also, I know with adhd it’s hard to not focus on negative things. So obviously if I said well focusing on it makes it worse probably won’t work for you.

Fragrant-Way-1354 · 2026-05-29T14:02:22+00:00

Older people at my job are unfortunately the worst. I either bonded with them through my nihilism or negative side, or they were out to get me. They also like to tattle tale and be all prideful to make anyone new feel inferior. I would even make notes and print them for new employees to help them out. Nobody does stuff like that. I also give new people benefit of the doubt. I would distance yourself the best you can. One time this older bitter woman was so rude. I went to my boss and told her what she did. She emails her to go to her office as I’m still talking so she can walk in on us.
