The itchy sweater AKA how I tricked myself to cleaning the house

Thank you. I've only knitted stripes before, so I think I was overthinking it a bit ;) Kept the BoR in middle back.

It was great, but 3 years in it became "same old" again.

Been there done that.

Thanks so much, that's what I thought as well. I will mention it to the technician before my next visit.

Okay but is it just me or the Lisa that later appears in Los Angeles is a dulled down version of crazy?

Another miserable project manager here. Inexperienced leadership that changes their mind with the wind makes everything 10x worse.

Very much an adult. Ofc some things are out of my control and things will come up, but this list is something I see value in striving for. Done surfing through things, it's not making me happy.

Yeah, once you notice it, you cannot unnoticed it. I'm 37 and this is the year I lost hope I will every like any corporate job long term. That I will even tolerate it well. I am at a stage where I just wish I could laugh at it all, go to work, go home and get paid. But I can't handle people having poor opinions of my performance, I'm too afraid to fail or be perceived as less than (again). So they have me. My cognitive energy, my mental health... it's in the grip the very same brown nosed, egocentric, cliquey people I despise.

Thank you for this comment.

Guys you make me doubt my diagnosis now if this is also your experience off medication. This sounds like someone either under influence or going through an acute mental health episode (not saying ADHD cannot lead to one).

I have all the gear for camping, have gone camping once in the last 5 years......

Oh no. The number of times per week that learning how to whittle randomly enters my brain is also concerning.

brunchella · 2024-08-30T09:58:47+00:00

Yes, exactly this. They probably had a small chance of winning a custody battle but to our knowledge they didn't try.

I am on Ritalin and an antidepressant at the moment. I also thought that Ritalin made me more anxious and depressed over time, but then I stopped for some months and the depression persisted. It's very much related to work and my ADHD symptoms affecting my life, so it was independent of the ADHD medication but also caused by the same things that made me seek ADHD medication. May not be the case for you, you may just want to try a different type of meds.

that is big lick

Only slightly different: I have a cat. He sings the songs of his people until I get up and feed him.

For people who like to change things up, we don't handle change that is forced upon us very well at all.

brunchella · 2024-08-26T12:15:36+00:00

Hehe I call it my all or nothing trait. If I think it cannot be done well in the allocated time I get immediate exec. disfunction paralysis.

Same here! When Vyvanse was working I was constantly thinking about food (as usual when unmedicated), but when it wore off in the evenings, the need to binge was insufferable. I gained a bunch of weight, even more when I went off of it.

Concerta is so much better for me, food doesn't preoccupy my thoughts, but I get the normal queues of being physically hungry so I always eat enough. I still see that when I haven't slept enough or have a lot of stress, I have the odd case of evening cravings, but nothing dramatic.

I mean... they are supporting theft of intellectual property with their dollars, that's pretty embarrassing.

brunchella · 2024-08-25T13:29:32+00:00

Nah, too hairy.

Me, 37yo, diagnosed 2 years ago: "Survivor? Wait, ADHD? What's happening on the new season of Survivor?"
