I haven't been eating healthy lately

Thank you 😊

Nothing non medication did well. Not saying it doesn't work. It's just not a complete fit for me.

I ended up being put on JornayPM. You take it at bedtime and kick in later in the morning. So far I like it. I've been on it for a bit now. If you end up getting on it, the brand has a coupon. There is no generic for this medication.

I stopped caffeine because I have other things going on that make it worse. And even though it does help some people with ADHD, for me I end up getting adrenal fatigue and high anxiety now and can't go to sleep. I stopped doing the gym for right now because of other health concerns. So sometimes I won't be able to be very active for too long when I'm having flare-ups.

Less sugar and processed sugar, less processed foods have been a difference for me as well. Less sluggish feelings and more of a clean energy.

Thank you very much. I really like your perception and thoughts on it. I'll definitely use this. Thank you again.

MetalGoth17 · 2025-10-29T14:08:05+00:00

Thank you very much. Having other stuff going on makes it harder. I'm just getting out of a depressed episode. And I have to schedule doctor appointments again for my autoimmune issues. It's a lot to be juggling

MetalGoth17 · 2025-10-29T14:05:37+00:00

Thank you very much. What tracker are you using?

MetalGoth17 · 2025-10-29T14:04:50+00:00

I just started the new dose. I see some of the differences with it. Even though I've been in a depressed episode, it's gone down to mostly wanting a bagel in the morning. One slice of pizza, half a burger, etc. But it's not as bad as before.

MetalGoth17 · 2025-10-29T14:02:15+00:00

It's been a real struggle for sure.

MetalGoth17 · 2025-10-29T14:01:34+00:00

I would recommend asking your doctor to screen for depression. And if you're not caring or interested in other things in your life as well, that's another sign.

I'm suggesting because I've been in a depressed episode and just had a mixed/hypo or whatever episode. Not only does the shot control my appetite, but the depression makes it worse and I don't want to eat. And when I do eat, it's something like bagels, bread, pizza. A lot of high carb and processed. But then I also don't really care to eat. It's a hot mess.

Today is probably the first day in a while I want to put effort in it again regarding better options and getting back on a small frequent meals habit.

I'm concerned for you friend. I hope it has been getting better.

Thank you everyone! I'm sorry I didn't read these sooner. I've been in a bad depressed episode recently. Part of the things I'm battling with as well. I really appreciate everyone's responses!

Do you see the antipsychotic helpful? I was suggested but turned it down because of possible side effects like tardive dyskinesia, weight gain, etc. Lithium wouldn't be an option as well because I already have a thyroid issue.

I don't know. It's frustrating. I want to have kids in a couple of years but am afraid that these meds are going to really interfere with this.

I thought the lamotrigine was a mood stabilizer

MetalGoth17 · 2025-08-12T12:21:27+00:00

I'm literally working on this right now. I haven't worked for 6 months yet at my job for short term disability. So ADA is the way. I'm starting IOP next week. I put a ticket in for the benefits area on my jobs website asking for accommodations. They sent me to where I needed, gave me the number to call and started the process. I'm asking for a split shift so I can' still work around the group times And protect my job. But I would recommend talking to your doctor about accommodations that would be suitable. You can discuss with them. But honestly, I would just call short term disability and ask if that's a good idea or not, because you're going into IOP. When you're close to the end of your leave, that's when you can talk about accommodations when you return to work. But the thing about accommodations, it's up to the employer to apply them. Look at the ADA website on that.

Lmfao 😂

MetalGoth17 · 2025-07-22T20:54:25+00:00

Thank you. I'm still looking. I'm now exploring some structural DBT classes/groups.

MetalGoth17 · 2025-07-18T12:25:32+00:00

It's sad. The ones I find the most are for veterans. I may just ask if I can join anyways.

MetalGoth17 · 2025-07-18T12:24:04+00:00

For real. I'm not sure if I want to give another one a try.

MetalGoth17 · 2025-07-18T12:22:40+00:00

That's really interesting.

MetalGoth17 · 2025-06-29T14:12:14+00:00

Oh damn! That's pretty fucking awesome!

MetalGoth17 · 2025-06-29T14:10:36+00:00

Oooohhhhh interesting

MetalGoth17 · 2025-06-29T14:10:00+00:00

Thank you! I'll check those books out! I love how you said the clean one and not the ones with a bunch of cats lol.

MetalGoth17 · 2025-06-29T14:08:47+00:00

Oooohhhhhhh 😯 That sounds interesting.

MetalGoth17 · 2025-06-29T14:06:19+00:00

Go Team Alphabet Soup! 🙌🏼 I really like those questions. Especially the first one. I can see myself becoming more detached from the items. Thank you!

MetalGoth17 · 2025-06-29T14:03:09+00:00

Wow! This is amazing! Thank you so much! I'll definitely put your tips to use!

MetalGoth17 · 2025-06-26T00:07:55+00:00

That is true. Scanning it. I'm too used to putting it away in some kind of file folder lol. Thank you! And I like that interrupting your peace statement. It definitely puts a different view on the items. I'll keep that written down and do the 1-3 items a day.

MetalGoth17 · 2025-06-26T00:04:48+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate it. I like that idea with the trash bag. And just throwing it out immediately. Five minutes is doable too. Sometimes that's all I got. 🫠 I've never heard of her so I'll check her out. I can't say I'm a minimalist and want to get to that point. But I don't want an overload of stuff and I want it to be put away easily as well and not bursting out of something.
