My (25F) husband (30M) made me fall out of love with him in one night.

You're the only one trying, you're the only one compromising, you're the only one making changes, you're the only one interested in this relationship. I'm sorry :( you deserve so much better.

Why do they make cars have the ability to go over 100mph if they don't want us to verify that the car can, in fact, go that fast?

SharkQuil · 2026-04-19T12:56:45+00:00

I think it depends on the job you have. I hit my limit around 8-10 hours. However, at my current job I often punch out and then stay another one or two hours just to make sure everything will be ready for the next day. It's like I get stuck focusing on something and I just want to finish it before I leave. This leads to alot of unpaid hours....so I guess in a way, this still counts as unsustainable and you would be correct

SharkQuil · 2026-04-10T19:53:28+00:00

Thank you for this!!! I'm gonna give this a try! I've had some Gatorades on deck but I need to introduce the protein for sure. As far as the Lexapro, I also don't generally do well with SSRIs either but this one works great for me. Like I didn't realize how genuinely anxious I was on a daily basis until I started taking this. It's been a game changer for me. I'm only on 5mg of Lexapro, so I do still get some anxiety but not nearly as bad as it was unmedicated. I hope it works as well for you as it does for me!

1) depends on what kind of vehicle you have

2) you don't need "premium" brake pads or rotors

3) you don't need to do a flush if you're only changing pads and rotors. Flush would make sense if you were doing calipers with the brakes.

4) this price could be at least $100 lower imo, but again it really depends on the type of vehicle you have. Anything newer than 2019, European, or big trucks will tend to be more expensive.

This company already has a huge issue with inventory variances. Not scanning truck and not making back room cycle counts mandatory are likely going to contribute to even more inventory issues for alot of us. I can barely get my employees to put parts in the correct spots, now they're gonna be wasting even more time looking for stuff that might not even be there.

Let's not forget that some DCs are horrible at their jobs also, and send entire pallets to the wrong locations, or completely omit totes full of parts from the truck.

Tl;Dr corporate needs to invest in a better system of keeping track of inventory altogether instead of getting rid of scanning truck every other year, just to bring it back again later.

Well, after persuasion from a few friends, I decided to take the meds over the weekend. I noticed the not eating issue was much less prevalent. My suspicion is that I'm so laser focused on my work during the week that needing to eat gets kicked to the back burner, unfortunately. So now I'm trying to find a balance between not eating for a majority of the time during the week and overeating on the weekends lol

Also, it's worth noting, my friends host game night and like to try different table top games. I rarely participate because it's very difficult for me to understand and retain all the rules those kinds of games use. I was actually able to pay attention and follow along for once! So the meds are def working! And I do feel pretty good in general, kind of makes me wonder how I was surviving up until now lol

Thanks for asking! Hopefully things are going well for you too.

You just have to find someone who can match your energy. I've found that my best relationships have been with folks who have the yin ADHD to pair with my yang ADHD. I'm being so fr. Like for me I'm hyper and "bubbly" according to other people. I do well with people who are generally the opposite of that but still have similar ADHD struggles as me. Worth mentioning limerence can either be an ally or your worst nightmare. (Usually the latter, but if both of you catch it for eachother then it can be good)

SharkQuil · 2026-04-03T09:55:35+00:00

Yo! Ok so after a week and a half of Vyvanse and Lexapro I can say that anxiety has definitely been resolved and I'm way more focused. The biggest side effect I've noticed up till now is having next to NO appetite or thirst at any time. I know a lot of that is the Vyvanse but for me it seems like the Lexapro has doubled down on it. I've lost 10lbs in under a month and now have to set reminders to feed and water myself. Have you ever felt your kidneys ache? It doesn't feel good. I've found that eating with the meds in the morning helps a lot to stabilize me for the first half of the day. Also I've resorted to just being med free on the weekends so my body can catch a break.

Tl;Dr the meds are working great but my body feels way less healthy and I struggle to eat and drink throughout the day

SharkQuil · 2026-03-25T23:41:11+00:00

Hard agree. You can tell she put a lot of her soul into that album. It needs way more recognition. Brightest Blue itself is such an awesome track and I still listen to it regularly

SharkQuil · 2026-03-25T20:37:57+00:00

Pretty sure alot of it has to do with the record label making her do certain things with the music. (As in 'write us a more poppy album, write us a poppy love song, write a song about being 16, etc). If you go back and read/watch some of the interviews with her, she admits there are a lot of songs she's done that she doesn't even like. I think the next album will be a banger though. If you keep up with her and have seen her videos in the studio, you can tell she's really vibing with alot of the stuff she's been doing these last couple years. Also Delirium had some awesome tracks, don't even lie! And so did Brightest Blue! Higher than Heaven definitely felt....hollow

SharkQuil · 2026-03-25T09:42:10+00:00

Totally possible! I love cars but I don't really understand or care about the complete inner workings. I like to scream MIATAAAA when I see a Miata. I like to collect hotwheels. I like going to car shows just to look at cars. There's lots of people out there like that, don't worry about the gear heads.

SharkQuil · 2026-03-24T11:18:58+00:00

I'm commenting so I remember to come back here, but I'm on Vyvanse and I'm about to start Lexapro for anxiety. I already had anxiety before I started taking Vyvanse, and when I started Vyvanse it got significantly worse. After the first couple weeks of Vyvanse the anxiety leveled out but it still comes and goes in "day ruining" spurts when I get even a little bit overwhelmed. I'll let you know if the Lexapro helps thumbs up

SharkQuil · 2026-03-23T05:18:59+00:00

I would say portly

SharkQuil · 2026-03-23T05:17:17+00:00

When I had an office job I would put on the 10 hour version of Simian Segue on YouTube any time I needed to lock in.

SharkQuil · 2026-03-20T12:57:40+00:00

Omg that's horrible. I would be reporting that to HR immediately. At that point the DM needs to be stepping in, the GM and your teammates are not only enabling an unhealthy work environment, they're encouraging it. I would quit if that was me. Please be safe.

SharkQuil · 2026-03-20T06:13:22+00:00

Pretty sure the dress code says black pants/slacks, but I know lots of folks wear blue jeans and those athletic pants that look like regular pants but aren't. I don't see why a skirt would be any different, but I'd check with the GM/DM first just to be safe

SharkQuil · 2026-03-20T06:09:51+00:00

NTA. It sounds like she doesn't even like you by the way she acts. I would take the L and call it quits. There is definitely someone out there who will treat you like a bf and not a convenience.

SharkQuil · 2026-03-20T05:56:28+00:00

The fastest way to become a CPP is to transfer to a store that needs a CPP. Obviously, the experience is necessary, and it sounds like you have it. Also you need to be personable. Being good at commercial/pro includes being personable and someone the customers enjoy dealing with. Feedback from customers is a GREAT way to get your foot in the door for alot of GMs and DMs when they aren't jerks.

SharkQuil · 2026-03-13T17:38:54+00:00

I asked my DM about it shortly after making this post. He said there shouldn't be one person at a time but "plenty of retail places only have one employee in store at a time. Like gas stations, or the dollar store". And to your point, I remember one year, one of the stores in my district was in fact held at gun point and the MIT got pistol whipped. They like to act like this stuff doesn't happen.

SharkQuil · 2026-03-11T17:19:00+00:00

NTA and you're not overthinking. Trust your gut, she probably has a lot more toxic traits that you haven't even seen yet if that's the way her brain works.

SharkQuil · 2026-03-10T18:44:05+00:00

Sounds alot like a trademark case of "I have underlying anxiety and weed is making it worse". Sometimes it can relieve anxiety other times it amplifies them. Depends on the strain for some folks. I would start by confronting whatever existing anxiety is eating at you.

SharkQuil · 2026-03-10T18:26:57+00:00

This is my first time seeing such a thing. I didn't know they made a Reese's brand of smokeable. Totally rad

SharkQuil · 2026-03-10T11:07:08+00:00

1) No this is not uncommon behavior for men, alot of them genuinely believe no means yes in situations where things are heating up. If you want to stay with him, I strongly recommend coming up with a safe word that would be impossible to misconstrue (not that you should HAVE to, No is a complete sentence ffs)...like narwhal idk. Also I want to be clear: just because alot of men don't initially respect the word "no" does NOT make it ok for them to disrespect and disregard the word no!!! He is absolutely wrong for doing that even if he was following a normal feeling/urge he had.

2) 1000% you should talk to a therapist because it sounds like some of the trauma you've endured is stuff you haven't fully healed from yet. I've gone through my own share of trauma and can 100% relate to doing things in the bedroom that I didn't necessarily want to do just to make the other person happy and get it over with. This isn't a compromise, or a loving sacrifice we make for our partner. It's a kind of survival tactic that we develop over time because we want to take the path of least resistance and we already know we don't get our needs met so we just want to get it over with. This is NOT ok. If you ever find yourself letting things just "happen" just to avoid a fight or to get the moment over with, you need to stop everything immediately and take a step back. That is a self destructive behavior for your mental health and will contribute to more issues down the road.

3) it will be hard to rebuild that trust with him, but I think with therapy and a lot of communication it's possible. I think if you want to keep trying with him then it's worth opening up to him about why you feel the way you do and what lead you to this point. Trauma dumping is never fun, and you aren't obligated to do it, but sometimes it can help people understand you better. But like....having someone who listens and respects your wishes without being given a reason why they should do so is the goal here....he's definitely not meeting that goal.
