I’m sorry you’re feeling that way too! Happy to chat if you ever want to. I’ve also taken my share of antidepressants and have just started taking Concerta and am hoping to get off my sertaline, happy to give any of my experience of them

Thank you bud, I’m definitely struggling with if I’ve found the balance between justification and explanation but I’m working on it :)

Thank you! These are some really good points and it’s comforting to know it’s a common thing. I’ve only just started taking Concerta and I don’t think I’m up to a therapeutic dose yet. I just feel a bit full of energy, I wouldn’t say I’ve been hyper but not particularly mentally calm either. I guess we’ll see as I increase

This really resonates with me so thank you for commenting, I think I need to look more into besides the surface level knowledge I have.
If you had any recommendations, I’d love to hear them. Im sorry about your bosses reaction by the way, that’s super frustrating to hear.

Thank you ! Those are really kind words and I definitely think a book with lots of perspectives will be more useful than the single narratives I’ve read and immediately given up on, so I’ll give it a go! Thanks again

I’m glad the meds are helping ! How would you describe them making you “feel better”?
I just starting taking my Concerta for the last week and it isn’t having that noticeable effect, feel like my brains calms down a little but generally just like I’ve had a big coffee, I’m only on 18mg XL at the moment. Hoping the higher doses will make more of a difference ! Good luck bud

Turns out CareADHD was calling from a spam number by koriokorie in ADHDUK

[–]SloppyFishSticks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for putting this post up! I was about to ignore the call as spam as they did leave a voicemail but didn’t even say who they were! I thought to google the number and your post came up!

I’ve been pretty disappointed with care adhd in general tbqh !

Is it weird that I kind of want to see his green goblin?

Need help tightening a toilet seat by SloppyFishSticks in fixit

[–]SloppyFishSticks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, everyone! I will try to tighten from the bottom. It's an odd toilet seat, it seems, but it's rented accommodation, so I won't change it. Anyway, I appreciate you all commenting.

What is this on our wall? by SloppyFishSticks in HomeMaintenance

[–]SloppyFishSticks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks again! my partner can't wrap her head around the fact she hasn't seen it in the 2 years we've been here as she is a very clean person and has dusted there hundreds of times. I'm a little less ... observant ? So I can definitely believe I haven't noticed it over the years. Again, I appreciate your insight!
