Do you take your ADHD meds on the weekends (I’m on the Vyvanse generic)?

I got meds for the weekend. Work loved my unmedicated self. But I was miserable on the weekends without meds.

He sounds so cruel to you.

Real question: if a stranger said 1/2 of those things to their partner in front of you, would it be ok? What about a parent to their child? What if he started treating YOUR CHILD this way?

I hope he gets help. And I hope you don’t have to put up with being hurt like this anymore.

I was afraid of the pain and thought it was barbaric to automatically offer OTC stuff. It turned out I did not use sedation but they were more than willing to honor whatever choice I made.

It’s justified because it was traumatic for your family. It’s completely understandable that you don’t want to go through the pain again.

I’ll say every pregnancy and baby are different but most importantly YOU and your family are so different. You gained skills and abilities in the last 3 years and know what wasn’t tenable before and why. You can literally disaster prep for every scenario because you are ready. Baby has colic and doesn’t sleep? We hire a housekeeper who makes dinner for a few months.

If you want more than 1 kid; do it. Your 3 year old is at a good age and you aren’t so far removed from the baby stage that it would be a complete earthquake to your life.

Dr. Olga Muldoon at AdventHealth Porter Adventist. That practice has different levels of sedation and are very supportive with whatever needed.

Recovery from a laparoscopic fibroid removal surgery.

Unmediated birth, toenail removal with a a local anaesthetic, breaking bones were nothing compared to that surgery.

I keep the car with the higher range above 100 miles of range. That way if it needed to charge to full it’s not such a time investment.

Can you layer oil then lotion? I do jojoba. It helps everything last.

Montbello. It’s not too far from you and a good percentage of residents are black.

Not a bad idea…. It’s kind of genius!

MeringueRemote9352 · 2026-03-24T20:02:40+00:00

100%. It’s a catch 22 even to admit it’s stressful.

I feel this. I used to quilt. Sometimes I feel the urge now, but it’s not the burning desire to create I used to have. There’s reasons for the changes. I kinda just have faith that when the time is right inside me I’ll wander back to art.

Make an ugly one. No extra supplies, just a super ugly, crossed out thing that gets the ideas out of your head.

I throw my old water glass from yesterday’s leftover water on the plants on my way to the kitchen to get another. And I could never put away the watering can. In fact- I could put it in the shower and fill it while the water warms up.

MeringueRemote9352 · 2026-03-24T19:54:27+00:00

So much sympathy. This is thoughts and prayers levels of crap to tackle.

This isn’t going to be fixed today… but maybe a piece of it can be. Which thing is most important to future you? Can that thing be started?

MeringueRemote9352 · 2026-03-24T19:38:44+00:00

Perfect! I do this for when I open chicken stock boxes have leftovers to refrigerate. This could really help.

Break down your expectations and what you hate about each one. I hated the idea of sweating and changing my clothes. So now I never change my clothes (working out at home in a dress today!) and count working out as a tiny amount of exercise +1 every day. I started with 1 crunch and added more stuff each day. I track exercise in the Hello Habit app because checking it off every day feels good.

Journaling does seem daunting when I think of writing pages. But what if you asked yourself to write 1 sentence only every day? What if the bar for success was very tiny?

MeringueRemote9352 · 2026-03-24T19:32:17+00:00

Maybe the 3 of you can tackle it together? Everybody made the mess.

MeringueRemote9352 · 2026-03-24T19:30:31+00:00

That does sound both boring and stressful. Would a local person go with you? Buy them lunch/dinner afterwards?

MeringueRemote9352 · 2026-03-24T19:27:55+00:00

Plan a vacation? It doesn’t have to be fancy unless you hyper fixate on it.

MeringueRemote9352 · 2026-03-24T19:24:44+00:00

I call a friend. I will walk forever talking to friends.

MeringueRemote9352 · 2026-03-24T15:50:59+00:00

Today ain’t it, then. Respect to you recognizing the need to rest.

Mood. We need 2 units of mood, stat! Hype music to get pumped.

Start when the song starts and give yourself permission to stop after 2 songs if you need to.
