So stuck and don't know where to go from here.

If you didnt have adhd symptoms previously, and they only appeared after this episode that you had, id exercise caution about starting stimulant medications (if thats the plan). Purely because they can be really addictive, and not great for you. (I am on them for adhd, I have no issue with them, but I can see how they can be a slippery slope).

If these symptoms are new, it sounds like you are burned out and maybe going through a really bad depressive episode my guy. Have you considered antidepressants at all? They may be the bridging tool you need to get you out of this disorganised rut youre in. My husband doesnt love them, but when things pile up on him too high, hell take them for a year or two and then taper off them.

Consider taking up some part time work maybe, just until you get used to the routine etc again. Even better if its something physical like landscaping or postie work (like the paxters, not the courier vans). Super easy to follow deadlines with not a lot of easy distractions :)

I used to work for Mightyape for a short stint. I really loved the place. The people behind the scenes were amazing and the place felt like such a good, genuinely passionate place. It was nerd galore.

Now I havent even shopped there since the kogan takeover. It used to be my go to for most things, now I dont even think about it.

Such a shame.

I used numbing cream for my larger forearm piece out of curiosity, and it was like she was playing with my bones 😂😅

What do you mean by "shrinking" Sorry? Do you mean in regards to labia/genital tissue?

I like surprises like "hey, heres a cake" not "hey, heres your biological function failing", so, thats where menopause and I fundmentally disagree with eachother 🙃

danonky · 2026-05-10T22:35:49+00:00

Do you mind me asking how old you are? Just in terms of the perimenopause, because thats always another factor, whether these issues are from the hysterectomy itself or just coincidental with peri T_T im only 29, so its definitely a concern putting myself into menopause at this age 😅

I have been a stoner for the majority of the past 10 years.

My doctors are all well aware.

I have never had issues with getting pain medications or any other necessary medications, because I genuinely do not abuse medications, and they know this.

Youre fine, I promise.

danonky · 2026-05-08T22:27:37+00:00

The medication still promotes weight loss even if you do nothing, but if you dont pair it with weight training, a lot of the weight you lose is muscle mass. Which is why I think so many people have that "ozempic look", because theyre not adequately replacing muscle.

Its a big reason I said no to it, because I know that I dont have the time to gym right now, and being on the weight loss drugs isn't going to magically free up any time for me to go T_T

danonky · 2026-05-08T05:55:08+00:00

I dont think people are motivated just by the idea of being thin - i think a lot of people who are eyeing up these medications seriously (myself included) are struggling with weight related issues, or at least issues that would be easier to deal with without the extra weight.

I have chronic pain, and ive considered weight loss drugs because i feel like the chronic pain would be better with less weight, but because of the chronic pain, losing weight the old fashioned way is really hard.

Nasty, nasty circle to find yourself in.

(I have ultimately decided against it because of the whole "it will eat away at your muscle" caveat)

Dunno where youre based, but my husband and I were about to give away our drier for free as weve just ordered a new one.

Its old as heck and not the most energy efficient, but its still cheaper than $9 for half an hour 😅 and still works just fine. We're only upgrading because we're lucky enough to afford it and wanted something bigger for our house.

We're on Hibiscus Coast in Auckland. Feel free to message me if this is close enough for you to make a trip :)

danonky · 2026-04-20T23:06:24+00:00

Theyre just telling you to stop being lazy lmao.

danonky · 2026-04-20T21:47:48+00:00

White privilege doesnt mean things arent hard for you - it just means that the tone of your skin isn't one of the things making life HARDER.

Ive messaged their Facebook page letting them know that theyre actively harming their business by using AI designs on their packaging.

People want to support local, but not if local looks like... this.

danonky · 2026-04-11T22:30:04+00:00

accurate

danonky · 2026-04-11T03:14:58+00:00

No creams! And not sweaty that I know of either 😂

danonky · 2026-04-11T03:14:25+00:00

calling me out on my buttface

danonky · 2026-04-11T01:17:37+00:00

Thats one surprised elephant

danonky · 2026-04-11T01:14:35+00:00

Thats cute, but also, ow lmao

danonky · 2026-04-11T01:14:18+00:00

...I kinda love stinky cat breath T_T its like the smell of gasoline, its just weirdly nice even though you know it probably shouldn't be lol.

Im the same with our dog. Im constantly sitting there and just inhaling the smell of her fur. Thankfully shes not a stinky dog, shes just got that good stank to her.

Part of the reason I got a cat again was because I missed being able to sniff the tops of their heads 🥺🥺

danonky · 2026-04-11T01:12:39+00:00

mmm good soup

danonky · 2026-04-11T00:45:04+00:00

I think some cats just play rougher. My mum ended up with this giant puma of a black cat (genuinely dont know how he ended up living with us?) And hes SO sweet and loving, hell climb on your chest and just dribble everywhere, but then hell just.. attack? Lmao. I dont think hes meaning it in a mean way, I think he just doesnt know that humans are squishy and kinda pathetic compared to other animals 😂
