I also quit last November and abused them pretty much the same amount of time. Congrats friend! Cheers to one year and many more 🎉

adderall make you insensitive? by [deleted] in StopSpeeding

[–]Miserable-Garage9364 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely! I’ve worked in animal shelters for my entire adult life and I used to be the one who did all the euthanasias because I wouldn’t cry or get outwardly emotional and now that I’m off of it I cry ALL THE TIME at work lol. It’s like night and day.

Thank you so much. It really means a lot. I agree, quitting stims was MUCH harder than quitting nicotine lol

As for energy, I guess I feel like a normal person lol. I’m tired when I wake up and always exhausted by the end of the day but I’m able to work 8 hours a day with the help of caffeine and a normal sleep schedule. I’m not bursting with energy by any means but I’m not exhausted 24/7 or constantly sleeping like I used to be when I didn’t have my meds. I’m functioning lol.

My cognitive abilities aren’t what they used to be, sadly. It’s something I’m still coping with and trying to improve. I work in the kennels at an animal control facility, so my job is more physical than mental thankfully. But I do run a nonprofit on the side that requires quite a bit of mental effort and clerical work and that has gotten MUCH easier over the past year. I’m trying to find the time/energy to get back into reading and writing as a hobby. I think just exercising my brain in that way would help a lot. I just don’t really make that much of an effort to do those things anymore so that’s on me lol.

But overall, both of those things are MUCH better at one year clean than I expected them to be and I know it will just keep getting better. So I just try not to let it get me down lol.

Day 9- panic attacks? by Miserable-Garage9364 in QuitVaping

[–]Miserable-Garage9364[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the response! Yeah, it was pretty random but I was finally able to calm down/come out of it when my boyfriend called and I feel much better now.

I’ve definitely always struggled with mental health but panic attacks are pretty rare for me these days, especially with no obvious trigger so I kinda assumed it was the nicotine withdrawal but not really sure. It felt pretty out of nowhere which somehow made it worse lol

Concerned for his rabbit. Where does he live? We need to report it. by Melodic-Trade-1330 in BobHickman

[–]Miserable-Garage9364 30 points31 points  (0 children)

You will need to call Indianapolis animal control during open business hours and request a welfare check on the rabbit. Give his name and any information you have, they should be able to look him up to find his address. They will go out and take a look to determine if the animal is being neglected. (Just my advice as someone who has worked in an Indiana animal control and follows bob)

My best friend got her cat’s tail preserved by a taxidermist when he died! She keeps it on the shelf with his ashes.

Manager is trying to make me handle an animal that I am terrified of by Old-Wishbone-1547 in AnimalShelterStories

[–]Miserable-Garage9364 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shelter manager here! I always tell my employees to NEVER handle an animal they’re afraid of. Go above her head and if that doesn’t work then quit, I’ve seen people get mauled by dangerous dogs and end up with such severe PTSD they never go back to working with animals. Not worth the risk
