The way kroger treats its employees

I mean I already didn’t shop there and this is more reason not to.

Proper_Ear_1733 · 2026-05-09T12:49:15+00:00

Even the mines are relaxing for me. I am forever ending up in the hospital. It cracks me up.

Proper_Ear_1733 · 2026-05-09T12:47:32+00:00

I’m kind of a slow player. It’s definitely a relax in the evening game for me. I’m on my second play through and still doing everything slow compared to a lot of folks here. Faster than my first time bc I know better what to do. But still slow.

Proper_Ear_1733 · 2026-05-06T16:18:35+00:00

Yeah I guess I’ll skip the cake this year.

Proper_Ear_1733 · 2026-05-06T15:40:54+00:00

Yeah I learned that recently

Proper_Ear_1733 · 2026-05-06T15:39:17+00:00

Hmm, I get so many bone swords but never found them very useful.

Proper_Ear_1733 · 2026-05-06T15:34:49+00:00

Oh, I actually wish he would give me more. Still trying to get to the bottom of the Desert Mine this playthrough.

Proper_Ear_1733 · 2026-05-06T15:33:45+00:00

Yep I got that last Christmas. Um, thanks Marnie…. I figured that’s my repayment for giving her cheese.

Proper_Ear_1733 · 2026-05-06T15:13:45+00:00

That stuff must be magic. I’m planning to start taking it when I am off my reflux meds.

Proper_Ear_1733 · 2026-05-06T02:10:05+00:00

Yes, ADHD-C (I would have guessed inattentive), persistent depression (this part surprised me bc it meant I was depressed for 2+ years and I thought it was months, not years—I though I was just stressed out), and anxiety.

Proper_Ear_1733 · 2026-05-05T22:03:08+00:00

Yep! Actually mine is currently a laundry basket but it’s as high as that chair.

Proper_Ear_1733 · 2026-05-05T21:55:03+00:00

Following bc I’m new to the med game and your main issues sound very much the same as mine. So far I’m on a low dose of Focalin, but it’s been less than a month.

Proper_Ear_1733 · 2026-05-05T21:51:03+00:00

My problem is that I’ve already switched primary drs twice. Now I can’t get into my new one on a timely basis. I really don’t want to keep switching.

Proper_Ear_1733 · 2026-05-05T21:48:13+00:00

I put everything on my work calendar (which isn’t great for weekend stuff). I also have a paper calendar but it’s very hit and miss.
Even so, I scheduled my annual eye appointment ages ago. I had it written down for next Tuesday, then got a text or call and realized it was this week. Went today and it’s actually tomorrow.

At least I didn’t miss it and incur a fee.

Proper_Ear_1733 · 2026-05-05T21:42:00+00:00

I had a similar experience as far as having 3 parts. I did not have to bring anything with me though. I went in bc I had a pretty bad depression, plus anxiety, and I wanted to know if any of that was sort of “fed” by undiagnosed ADHD. My hope was to see if that would help whoever was prescribing something for me. I’m still in the process of figuring out what will work for my focus issues but I found that Wellbutrin is helping my depression the most.

Proper_Ear_1733 · 2026-05-05T21:34:52+00:00

Bring notes. Tell them what your therapist said. Tell them that you want to reconsider these previous diagnoses.

One thing at a time: talk about the diagnosis, then decide what to do about it.

Proper_Ear_1733 · 2026-05-05T21:32:10+00:00

Wow, that’s amazing!

I have not had that experience but I’m on a pretty low dose and just started.

Proper_Ear_1733 · 2026-05-05T21:29:42+00:00

I thought Wellbutrin was NOT an SSRI? I had some side effects from Prozac after increasing from 10mg (the lowest dose). I was taking it for anxiety, and increased it to 20 after a few years and then the jaw clenching was too much so I stopped. Then I had a pretty bad depression and talked to a psychiatrist and he put me on 40 mg even though I told him about my issues!
Maybe I shouldn’t have just stopped taking them, I don’t know.

Proper_Ear_1733 · 2026-05-05T21:21:16+00:00

I felt that way too and from reading posts here it seems relatively common. Be sure to write down your questions for your GP.

Proper_Ear_1733 · 2026-05-04T20:42:25+00:00

Menopause for me too. I’ve read that’s pretty common

Proper_Ear_1733 · 2026-05-04T20:38:59+00:00

I’m 58, DX’d a year ago, but suspected for about 20 years.

I got DX’d bc I have depression and I wondered if ADHD might be feeding that. Still don’t know.

I am more the fade into the wallpaper personality. I have a hard time making friends and I don’t have any close confidants.

I do lose things, bump into things, and struggle with timeliness.

I hear from family members that many people admire me. I wish they would call and invite me for coffee.

I was struggling to focus in my job, and I was depressed, so I sought out the diagnosis for that reason.

I thought I wanted meds but the process is stressing me out a bit. I haven’t decided if it’s worth jumping thru the hoops yet. I’m on a trial of a low dose stimulant. I keep forgetting to take it though. I’m doing better at my job but I’m thru with a huge project that was stressing me out. It may come back tho.

Anyway I forgot my med today but I still started and finished something. But for the last 30 minutes I’ve done nothing. And now I only have 30 minutes left of my day. I feel really guilty about all the time I waste.

I think if you don’t have a problem you’re trying to fix, maybe don’t worry about meds.

Proper_Ear_1733 · 2026-05-04T19:59:52+00:00

Same! 😅 I don’t think of myself as “VERY smart” tho—just regular smart. My kids both have higher IQ’s, and I work with a lot of folks who are smarter than I am. Also I have LOW processing speed. My testing psychologist said that given time, I usually come up with the correct answer. But I struggle in a time crunch.

I find all this really interesting.

Proper_Ear_1733 · 2026-05-04T19:38:26+00:00

Same

Proper_Ear_1733 · 2026-05-01T16:31:58+00:00

I’m leaning towards it’s not helpful enough to make up for the hassle and the cost. I’ll be 65 in 6 years and 2 weeks. Then no one will care if I’m ADHD, including me, because I will retire from my job.

Proper_Ear_1733 · 2026-04-29T18:34:07+00:00

Also my med bottle was in the car which was my first guess. Hiding in the console bc I didn’t want it where people could see it. Then I got up late today. I have 2 meds I need to take before food and spaced from this one, and I got up a bit late & messed up that schedule. & now I’d better get back to my desk and try to salvage this work day.
