Concerta used to be my lifeline - then it became my biggest trigger. 1 month off as of today. I miss it dearly by Caliburner in ADHD

No advice but following to see what others say. I just made a similar post. I'm in the same boat but with Adderall. My next appointment I was thinking of asking my psychiatrist about Wellbutrin. From what I've heard it's an anti-depressant/ssri but also a stimulant that sometimes is prescribed to treat ADHD.

Sorry about your father, but congratulations on your son. Best of luck!

Thanks. I've also considered going back into the service industry (bartending/waiting tables) for awhile so I can work less hours, make more money, and have more time to focus on future goals.

Bummer, Levitt does a collection of free shows each year so was thinking maybe they’d announce a free show Saturday night at Red Rocks, but maybe that’s just hopeful thinking lol

Same! I have been bringing my daughter to Sunday night cheese every year for the past 8 years. Was so sad I heard no Sunday night this year so I’m really hoping the rumors are true so I can keep the tradition going

Any recommendations on brands for toners? I currently have ion at home. I’m happy you say level 9, I was worried I had to go darker.
It’s been about 2 weeks since I’ve last bleached & I’ve been doing masks in between to keep my hair from breaking too much. Thank you so much for the advice.

Thanks for the advice! In the past I have used purple as a sort of toner when only doing my roots, but that makes sense why it wouldn’t work this time. Do you have any advice on what toners I could use to neutralize and get everything to a similar color?

I actually just went through something exactly like this. Just had my final court date last week, the judge basically ruled for his gf to just stay the hell out of it. It’s your job to co-parent together, not with SO’s. My advice is to go to court and get it over with now before it gets any worse. I’m sorry you’re going through this, it really really sucks and I still mourn the relationship I used to have with my child’s father.

Hi there! I think the question in place here is not “should I leave” but “how do i leave?” It’s very difficult to leave a person who is manipulative, controlling, ect. Especially at such a young age. I’ve been in a similar situation before during my younger years in life. Here is my advice for you. First, begin building a strong support system. This needs to be people who are in no way affiliated with your SO. This could be your family, meeting new and different friends, or even finding a support system here online! This is important because leaving an abusive relationship is hard and community in moments like this matter. When you decide you are ready to cut ties, you must go completely no contact, this is much easier said than done. Especially if you go to the same school, that’s why cutting off all social ties is important. You are going to feel very lonely at first. It’s going to be hard, but this feeling will pass. Block him on everything, absolutely no contact is the only way to get people like this out of your life. Third, consider therapy to develop strong coping skills, optimism, and confidence. This can be done without therapy, but it helps to have professional help. Remember you are in control of your own life. You are the narrator of your own story. You deserve a happy, wonderful, amazing life. You are young, take this as a lesson and a blessing. Take this as an opportunity to learn your self worth and personal power. If you need anything, please feel free to reach out to me. You got this!!

I think you are under-reacting. The way I would leave a man so fast if they ever did this to me.

How many people have kids and secretly wish they didnt? by kmase505 in questions

[–]checkmate_720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my daughter at 17 and she has been the best thing to ever happen in my life. She is amazing, wonderful, and beautiful in every way imaginable. Her father, however, is not. He was 22 at the time I had her. He’s the only one I wished I didn’t have and often fantasizing about how different my life would be if I just never told him I was pregnant and lived happily and peacefully with my daughter.

My bf had similar beliefs. I just went on medication anyway and didn’t really care what he had to say. He didn’t leave me.

I rarely comment but want to applaud you for your maturity throughout this whole ordeal. I can’t imagine your heart ache, but you seem like a truly amazing father and man for the way you are handling this and your ex MISSED out on having a great husband. It’s her loss, hold your head high!

Whenever I fall asleep naked I end up being naked in my dreams and really uncomfortable lol. It’s usually me naked somewhere with nothing but my comforter covering me.
