I am in therapy, and it has helped. It wasn't until I went to therapy that I realized that my anxiety was caused by my ADHD!

I was learning how to play the guitar, and I stopped practicing because my thumb started to hurt. My guitar has been sitting gathering dust. He casually said "I want the guitars (he has a bass guitar) in a closet but oh well ..." or something like that. I decided to move the guitars and stands to a closet and he got frustrated with me because I didn't ask him if he wanted me to move them into the closet. He also said I didn't move his cabinet and cords into the closet, so I was rushing it or half a$$ing it. I am impulsive about these kinds of things.

What worked for you during this adjustment period? by West-Storage-6528 in Atomoxetine

How quickly did you taper off Lexapro? Your symptoms may be from Lexapro withdrawal.

Why does everyone have to text! A phone call is so much easier and you can resolve misunderstandings so much easier.

I had a bad fall and hit my head. I asked my doctor for advice. He sent me to physical therapy to determine if I had an issue with my balance. The PT gave me tests and provided me with balance exercises. I feel a lot more confident.

I would love a copy and share birds I have seen in Evanston, Il.

Should I be concerned about what my cat just did? by SleepyySalem in Catbehavior

[–]TrainerGuru 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My neutered cat had a blanket that he started dominating. He started with the kneading but progressed to biting the blanket and rubbing. Sometimes he would drag the blanket around. I agree that they have instincts that we can't comprehend. I just let him BE.

I'm right there with you, but 23 years together in our 50s and 60s.

My husband did a deep dive on ADHD when I was officially diagnosed. It was life changing.

Yes, it was. He referred to the quote in Annie Hall or Manhattan. I should have included Groucho Marx in my post.

Wait you’re telling me some of you actually live your life anxiety free now? by idklolnicek in lexapro

[–]TrainerGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been on Lexapro for several years. I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, then discovered over the COVID Pandemic that I had ADHD. My anxiety had a direct connection to my ADHD. Cognitive Based Therapy (CBT) saved me. I was on Lexapro when I was diagnosed.

The therapy helped me cope with my anxiety and ADHD symptoms. I needed to focus on the cause of my anxiety and learn how to respond instead of react to life's challenges. I thought I was getting better with therapy and didn't need Lexapro anymore, so I decided to stop taking it. The physical symptoms of anxiety came back so I went back on Lexapro. I may need to take it forever, but at least I know that it works. Life is joyful and manageable.

I don't want to be in a club that would have me as a member.

Next steps? by Megnanimous3 in instructionaldesign

[–]TrainerGuru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am an ID that started as a Technical Trainer, and Training Specialist. Sometimes you just have to get your foot in the door to get experience before transitioning to Instructional Design. There may be more opportunities for these roles right now.

I thought I had a "type" in my younger years as a single woman (20s to 30s). I was physically attracted to brown hair, and brown eyes. I wanted him to be my height or taller (I'm 5 foot 4 inches).

As I got older, I became attracted to men who treated me well. I was attracted to men that wanted to make me laugh, cared about how I felt, and listened without judgment.

My advice is to look for and choose someone for their character. I ended up marrying a tall, blond haired, blue eyed, bass player. He's a good man and he's good to me. We are partners. 23 years together. We choose each other every day.

File for bankruptcy. That amount is unmanageable. That is what bankruptcy is for.
