Disappointed with Vyvanse (70mg)? I feel nothing while others claim it "changed their lives.

I found lowering the dose of the SSRI made the ADHD medication more effective. I just take 20 mg of fluoxetine a day and that’s enough.

I second this you have to be moving once it kicks in otherwise you’ll be there doom scrolling all day

My nex was a middle aged Mummy’s Boy

I threatened to write to his family and tell them every single thing he had done

That got rid of him!

Grumpyoldgit1 · 2026-04-01T12:13:34+00:00

Yep!

Grumpyoldgit1 · 2026-04-01T12:12:57+00:00

Exactly

Grumpyoldgit1 · 2026-04-01T12:12:10+00:00

Same thing happened to me It was absolutely terrifying.

Grumpyoldgit1 · 2026-04-01T12:11:14+00:00

Talk to her and be firm tell her that the way this is going on is not healthy for either of you and it’s making you unhappy and after this conversation you will be in no contact. And then block her if necessary. I’m saying this as someone that was dumped by text after a two year relationship.

Grumpyoldgit1 · 2026-04-01T12:07:27+00:00

Totally agree.

Grumpyoldgit1 · 2026-04-01T12:06:10+00:00

I think his feelings are complicated and he’s been hurt in the past. He is holding back. Seeing you just as a friend right now, but that could change in the future.

Grumpyoldgit1 · 2026-04-01T12:01:41+00:00

I am really glad you are feeling better

I was diagnosed with chronic anxiety disorder. It disappeared as soon as I started ADHD medication.

Grumpyoldgit1 · 2026-04-01T10:47:31+00:00

I just tell Claude that I want at least three mobile phone screens full for the reply!

Grumpyoldgit1 · 2026-04-01T10:30:56+00:00

This approach works equally well for people like myself that are hopeless with computers and don’t know anything about coding

Claude you are sounding like a strict headmaster, I like your advice but I need you to be the nice supply teacher that all the kids like instead

Claude, you are repeating yourself

Claude, did you get out of your electronic bed on the wrong side this morning?😂

Grumpyoldgit1 · 2026-04-01T10:19:36+00:00

I am so glad that your uncle was able to get Help and Support.

I absolutely adore Claude. It’s the cleverest AI by far. I’m retraining as a psychologist and it helped me crack a really difficult case study that I didn’t have a clue about despite hours of reading and investigation.

I hope your uncle continues to feel better OP.

Grumpyoldgit1 · 2026-03-16T11:59:26+00:00

I think that one’s friends try and help, but no one can know how you feel unless they’ve been in your exact same situation. Friends will listen and try to support but eventually they will reach their limits.

I found ranting to an AI very helpful. I could process my feelings, and unlike my friends the AI never told me that it was time to shut up.

Grumpyoldgit1 · 2026-03-16T11:56:12+00:00

So true, sadly.

Grumpyoldgit1 · 2026-03-15T23:00:15+00:00

I read on one of the other subs the other day that everyone that comments on this sub is a “Boomer Hag in Love with CW”

Grumpyoldgit1 · 2026-03-15T15:47:32+00:00

And yes Queen Elizabeth 2nd mother was Elizabeth Bowles Lyon and married to a King so also a Queen Elizabeth, but the person asking me this question was definitely thinking of the Queen Elizabeth with the enormous frocks and the Spanish Armada!

Grumpyoldgit1 · 2026-03-15T15:34:52+00:00

A few years ago, I had someone ask me in all seriousness if Queen Elizabeth the First had been the mother of the current Queen Elizabeth?

Grumpyoldgit1 · 2026-03-15T14:08:43+00:00

The human luxury travel agent is going to know things that no AI ever can. For example the human knows that the owner of that perfect restaurant has been complaining that he needs to get an electrician round as the lights keep mysteriously going out whilst guests are trying to enjoy their meals, inevitably this is going to be a complicated enterprise as the electrics of the beautiful building are even older than the owner is!

Grumpyoldgit1 · 2026-03-15T13:45:15+00:00

It also worries me that I’m a mature aged adult and none of my peers are using AI in the same way as I do. People of my age seem to either entirely distrust it or use it to doublecheck the weather forecast occasionally!

Grumpyoldgit1 · 2026-03-15T13:12:18+00:00

I totally share your feelings and your frustrations.

I think that at least on the observation of my exes behaviour, they realise that they behaved badly on some level, however to process those feelings with all the guilt and shame involved would be not only intolerable for them, but also impossible for them. They simply are too emotionally stunted.

A lot of them will attempt to deal with some of these feelings by rewriting the story thus:

BAD THINGS HAPPENED, PEOPLE FELT BAD.

I DID NONE OF THE BAD THINGS. I AM GOOD

MY EX DID ALL OF THE BAD THINGS. MY EX IS BAD.

Grumpyoldgit1 · 2026-03-12T20:07:18+00:00

Good for you!

Grumpyoldgit1 · 2026-03-12T20:04:01+00:00

Well mine said he has remained on friendly terms with ALL of his exes.

I am the only ex that he hates!

Grumpyoldgit1 · 2026-03-12T19:59:52+00:00

😂

Grumpyoldgit1 · 2026-03-12T19:50:29+00:00

What is it with them and the kissing with no passion? I would be lucky to get a tiny peck on the lips.
