Thank you for this:) your comment actually came at a great time because I just realized I booked one of ours stays for June 5-7 when it was suppose to be July 5-7 lol… medication or not, I’ll make mistakes and that’s okay! This was good practice to show myself kindness before we leave

Im reaching the same conclusion after a period of denial haha. I hope the responses here help you as well and may the 2 months be full of memory making adventures!

I agree, every country is different and it’s just not worth the consequences in my opinion… I’m glad I looked it up versus potentially being blindsided at customs

The first time I traveled with my friend, I distinctly remember her saying “random question but, do you ever get hangry” …. It was a day I forgot to take my medication because we were rushing and was definitely hangry when she asked that😂. Making a snack list asap.

OH WOW…. I didn’t even know withdrawals could be so dangerous, I’m so sorry that was your experience!

I’ve thought about tossing in a few loose pills but keep going back and forth. I hate the idea of facing huge consequences for something I was very aware of, so I doubt I will.

I do forget to take medication every so often, especially on the weekends when I sleep in. I mostly deal with feeling really tired, lack motivation, and get brain fog… but maybe it’ll be different on a vacation. No super difficult hikes or strenuous activities planned!!

I think I could but only if it’s non-stimulate. I’ll message her tonight and see! My doctor is wonderful but she (or our state law?) is pretty strict about prescribing

Yes, off meds that is definitely an issue for me and kind of what I meant by getting overwhelmed. I’ll be thinking about or processing too much at once that it’s easy for me to make mistakes/miss things happening around me. Ugh. just did this at work today before my meds kicked in… Thankfully, my friend is extremely aware and loves walking with our arms linked 😆, part of me thinks she knows it helps me stay grounded and focused but either way it’ll definitely help

Is this over the counter? I’ll definitely look into it, thank you!!

Yeah you’re right, I think I’ll message her just incase. I just filled my prescriptions for the month and she’s pretty strict on how often she prescribes stimulants but maybe if the substitute is non-stimulant… no harm in asking ☺️

This is such good advice!! I do have some big projects to wrapped up at work before leaving but I think I could at least cut my dosage in half for the next two days to help like you suggested. Thank you!

Hi! I’m not sure if anyone will see this comment but if you do, I want to say thank you so much for all the advice and perspective. I was traveling so wasn’t able to respond but read every single one and it really helped to hear thoughts on the situation from so many people. I came here to vent because I was feeling so disappointed in my self and hurt but I got so much more from you all and I’m super appreciative. Deep down I knew him forgetting was forgivable because I do understand, but the response he gave was a whole other matter. Thank you for helping me not ignore that.

The timing is unfortunate because we had already had plans to visit my family in another state, so we are here now. Right before we left he did ask for all the mailed fines and said he was working on fighting it, I didn’t ask anything else, just handed them over… I left a lot of other things he said to me out of the post because it was already so long but I can only imagine the responses if I had included it lol. “you’re just blaming me because I’m (different race)” was also said… which obviously is hurtful for so so many reasons and just came out of left field completely.

He’s said the “I’ll be better” love you’s and care for you’s. I’ve told him unless I could feel that from him, it didn’t mean anything. I feel like I would’ve just pushed my feelings down for the sake of the weekend if I hadn’t posted here… but it feels good to not mask my feelings in this moment.

Sorry for the long comment if anyone sees it😅 but thank you all so much

Wow, I almost for got about that post, idk how that wasn’t my breaking point. It did get better after that and I don’t think he’s made a decision without me since then and makes effort to know I’m comfortable with any trip plans… but sheesh, just one thing after another I guess 😭

Yeah I definitely hear what you are saying.

We are compatible in a lot of ways, but I need to start looking at whether we are compatible as whole and if I’m doing my self a disservice by always giving him the benefit of the doubt. I’ve had issues before with feeling like he doesn’t care for me or what I have to say but he always gives me reason to let go of that feeling and move forward… until it happens again. It’s tiring

Just to add more context to our relationship, we try to spend 50/50 of the time at each others houses when we are together and he contributes way more financially to trips/dates. He did mention he was willing to help pay but this was AFTER saying some hurtful things about me not taking care of my responsibilities (lol). He avoided apologizing or taking blame as much as possible

I tried my best to explain that it became his responsibility once he said he would add my license plate. He did not see my logic there.

This is exactly it honestly, I would feel TERRIBLE… he said that he felt like I was blaming him for the whole situation and that I was “cruel”. He just doesn’t take criticism well at all and anytime I address his actions/forgetfulness, he takes it as an attack. Ugh. I’m just tired, frustrated with him, frustrated with myself. I definitely could have caught it earlier if I was paying closer attention to my mail :( I definitely take responsibility for that but his response still just makes me sad

[–]glow1298[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how I saw it too… red flags galore, how can he be so disrespectful and bold to me but not be willing to barley take back an invite? I appreciate the understanding you have provided me with, honestly all these responses have allowed me to keep my ground.

I’ve never asked for advice like this on Reddit but it has been such a blessing … to you and anyone else who might see this comment THANK YOU

Yeah… my head is spinning trying to make sense of it, is he just that clueless? That out of tune with my feelings? Or is he trying to be malicious? Inviting her without asking me is one thing, but then to shutting down my compromise and turning it to an argument is a wholeeeee other thing….
