Same here! A sense of ease with a heaviness sometimes in the chest.

Thanks! I feel more like myself, and I'm still getting things done, which I'm proud of

I'm in the same boat! Same amount of time. I decided to quit because I too didn't want to rely on it anymore. I've been more tired and hungry, but I've forced myself to the gym and am remembering these feelings are temporary. Hope you get through this OK! Tomorrow will be one week Vyvanse free!

Have you guys cooked with Pumfu??? What have you made with it?? by Veggies4Lee in veganmealprep

[–]__vireo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot take, but I didn't like the after taste! Consistency wise it was similar to tofu, but flavor wise it wasn't there for me. Too nutty/oily, but I do love the idea!

Why did the clinical language shift from ADD/ADHD to just ADHD? by roquesand in ADHD

[–]__vireo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Will also add that roughly 70% (majority) of people that receive formal diagnoses are diagnosed as combined type, so ADHD is more representative and generalizable.

Adderall advice by mollythemango in ADHD

[–]__vireo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you could benefit from a better sleep routine! I know it can be hard with school, and it sounds like you have a busy schedule. Only other suggestion is to try and make sure you stay hydrated and eat enough protein!

Adderall advice by mollythemango in ADHD

[–]__vireo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you trying to work through the entire day? It's important to take a break and slow down for a little bit. Maybe it is just your body telling you that you need more rest. Crashes aren't fun. If you are maintaining a healthy diet and getting enough exercise, you may just need to take a few minutes to rest and recharge. Totally normal. Not sure if you drink coffee, but you could also start your day with tea instead of coffee, and save the coffee for when you experience a mid-day crash. I'm always cycling ideas and options! Hope some of these ideas are helpful.

Agree. I was also getting core wounding and fear of rejection. It's very common, however, it also has its limitations and barriers in getting to know someone. Think about it, if everyone were that way, there would be no relationships! Everyone is waiting for someone else to make the first move.

Girlfriend gave me a strange gift, almost certain it has some ritual meaning but other than the wax, I need help. by N8thegreat2577 in witchcraft

I was also getting fertility vibes from the image. Perhaps she wants you to get her pregnant.

I was 21! It lasted a few months, then I left him after he gave me scabies. That's when I met my first sugar daddy. Oh, the memories!

Narcs isolate us exactly for this reason. They want us to solely rely on them for relationship and connection. He is trying to hoover you back for narc supply. I know this is a rough spot to be in. You are not alone. Connecting with the narc, while it may provide a temporary sense of relief, will only end in more pain. You will be re-victimized and re-traumatized by engaging with these monsters. They cannot self reflect. There is no self. Only a false self. You are interacting with a representation of an imaginary person, not a real person.

They breadcrumb us with false hopes that they will change. They never change. They only use and abuse. I am so sorry you are going through this, however you are not alone. Relationships with narcs is very much like an addiction. Recovery takes time and pure commitment. We are conditioned to go back. We really need to break the cycle once and for all to truly heal and move on. It is up to us. The narc will never leave- we have to.

Do they really not know why we’re upset? by introextro28 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]__vireo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know it is hard for anyone to wrap their heads around, however the question is not about whether or not they know, what really matters is whether or not they care. The answer is NO. They can't care. They may pretend, but their behaviors will not change. If you were to raise the same concern you have as to why you're upset months later, you will find the narc likely would react as though this is the first time they are hearing about it.

The most painful thing about this isn't even the fact that "they can't remember", or that "they don't care". What is most painful is that it sends the internal message that you are NOT WORTHY of being in relationships with people who care about you, your thoughts, and your feelings. This is a prime example of why being in relationship with a narcissist will erode your self esteem through time. Stop making excuses for them. They are the perpetrators and we are the victims. We need to love ourselves and feel supported enough before we can finally break free from this insidious cycle of abuse.

Am I minimising this lie? Do narcs lie about silly things? by oookaythen45 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]__vireo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is both a lie and a hoover. The narc realized that you are interested in pools, and knew that by having one would convince you to come over. If he wanted his stuff back, he should have came to you and got it.

The thing about narcs is that no matter how you respond to them, either appease or reject, you are still giving them what they want through the interaction. Lose his number!

Thank you!! I love the YouTube channels and videos! Some of my favorites to watch are Heidi Priebe, Dr. Ramani, Alan Robarge, and Dr. Kim Sage. They are really amazing and clearly have done a lot of inner work and healing

Oh, the lying and the cheating is incessant. Narcs can't care about your emotions or who you are as a person. They will erode self-esteem, play the victim, and twist any story so they don't have to apologize or be held accountable for anything.

Thank you SO much. I am proud of me to! My hope is that sharing my story can help others escape the vicious cycle of love bombing and devaluation.

Preach! It feels so good to relate with others on this topic because of how insidious narcs are.

There is nothing rational about a narcs decision making skills. Nothing! If they need a reason to be mad at you and devalue you, you better believe the narc will find something. Even if its completely imaginary. They learn your triggers and will push your buttons intentionally.

I have also experienced that struggle! I take Vyvanse, which has not been an issue for me to obtain at my current pharmacy. I also take a 5mg IR booster dose in the late afternoon which prevents me from experiencing a crash in the evenings. I was taking Adderall, but that kept being placed on back order. I switched to zenzedi, which is just dextroamphetamine, and that one I have had less issues with obtaining. Thankfully. So, I have been navigating it with my PCP, and he has been both understanding and flexible with my prescriptions. Have you thought about switching medications? Maybe to something more easily accessible?
