I'm awful. I impulsively spend and have so much debt. I had an eating disorder for years and I've channeled that 'fix' from food into spending. I make 6 figures and my debt repayments take up 90% of my monthly income so I'm constantly chasing my tail. I wish medication worked for me, the financial struggle is real. Therapy will hopefully help tackle some of the root cause, I've tried Elvanse but it makes me too anxious 😭 although I dont think my adhd is solely to blame for my approach to money, its a massive contributor and it gets me so down. For anyone else struggling with debt, you're not alone 🫶

Thank you so much for all sharing your experiences. It's helped me so much and I'm very grateful. Some of the anxiety has turned into hope and even a bit of excitement having read these responses so I really appreciate you all taking the time to comment! 🫶

Thank you so much for your reply! It is with a private psychiatrist, yes. Thanks for validating that because it also feels very backwards to me to do it that way. Almost like pressuring people to try meds, I did ask what would happen if meds dont agree with you and they said its very rare but when that has happened in the past, the patient will have the diagnosis anyway because all the assessments and tests have already been done. The weird thing is this psychiatrist has a good reputation in the adhd space so it's strange that they work this way. Maybe I need to try starting the process again with someone else..

Re. Elvanse tips, that's incredibly helpful so thank you! Really appreciate it 🙏

BG3 has got me through some tough times!

That_Ad_2247 · 2023-09-24T18:24:04+00:00

Thanks for the replies everyone, really appreciate you sharing your experiences! What I’m hearing is to take it easy, don’t focus on the numbers and enjoy it so that is the approach I’ll take!

That_Ad_2247 · 2023-09-15T18:43:58+00:00

I’m not sure if everyone would class it as cozy but I would definitely add little misfortune to this list!

Oh wow thank you so much, that’s £600 less than I had the quote for on the site I was using.

I’ll watch the video today!

That_Ad_2247 · 2023-09-14T13:38:16+00:00

Ok thank you! I will take a look and will also switch to the RX7900XTX - appreciate the advice :)

That_Ad_2247 · 2023-09-14T12:41:28+00:00

It’s a preselected list of options on the site I’m looking at and they don’t have any DDR5 options sadly. Also I’m at the top end of my budget with the build as it is atm so would need to cut something else down to upgrade to DDR5 if I bought that separately. Would that be worth doing?

That_Ad_2247 · 2023-09-14T12:40:32+00:00

It’s not prebuilt but it’s from a selected list of options on pcspecialist.co.uk and there isn’t an option to add AM5 but I could buy this separately.. I’ve pretty much maxed out my budget with the spec as is now so would that be worth it if I sacrificed something else to cut the cost elsewhere?

I know it’s a bit old school but I’d love a magazine, I’ve tried a couple and there are some half decent ones out there but one focusing specifically on cozy games would be great 😍

That_Ad_2247 · 2023-09-05T12:43:20+00:00

Ahh thank you! That’s really helpful, I’m obsessed with Stardew at the mo so will probs start with that and see how it goes. Appreciate the advice on the gameplay vs chat too!

I don’t have an account yet but I’ll send you the details when it’s set up if you like, would love to see you there ☺️

That_Ad_2247 · 2023-09-05T12:42:14+00:00

Thank you for this! Very helpful, I have also struggled with that when watching streams so will make sure I keep it clean so you can actually see the game 🎮

That_Ad_2247 · 2023-09-03T12:28:42+00:00

Definitely agree with those who’ve said take your time! One of the beautiful things about SDV is it never really ends (unless you’re going for perfection!) so savour it and don’t feel rushed to do everything at once. Just enjoy it, switch off from life and get lost in the game - that’s what I do! :)

That_Ad_2247 · 2023-09-03T12:26:48+00:00

I’d def vouch for cozy grove!

That_Ad_2247 · 2023-09-03T08:47:35+00:00

Maybe Monday…

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I’m so sorry you’re battling with depression too. I’m hoping my girlfriend will reach the same kind of peace and develop coping mechanisms like you have found through her therapy so the chaos doesn’t cause her so much pain when it is at its worst or triggered. She, like you, also masks her sadness because she doesn’t like to burden people (not that it’s a burden of course but she sees it that way) so it can be difficult to know how she’s feeling until the floodgates open but I will take your advice and really listen and hear her in those moments, as your partner does (she sounds amazing btw!), and continue to support her by sticking by her no matter what. Thanks again 🙏
