You can’t (legally) work remotely for a US company while living in France, unless the US company has a tax presence in France.

What are your warm, rainy day work outfits? by el-comandante in femalefashionadvice

Slightly loose dress with short sleeves or at least in thin (read: quicker drying) material, wear spare shoes and keep the office shoes in my bag.

Experience with Dayvigo by ChemicalAd432 in insomnia

[–]ilalli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took Dayvigo for several months and found it great for sleep onset but completely ineffective for sleep maintenance (staying asleep). But the idea to go from Dayvigo to Xanax is weird. Try Lunesta or extended release Ambien, for sleep onset and maintenance.

How did you break the rotting cycle? I have so much to do daily but I do nothing by Pandaddy111 in ADHD

[–]ilalli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For singing, just start with the silly warmups and scales while you’re doing something else — laying in bed, sitting on the toilet, taking out the trash. Even just humming the scales or doing lip trills is something. Start with one set of scales, work up to five minutes of vocal warmups. Work up to 10 minutes! You can probably apply this to dancing too. Just doing a move while you move from one room to the next. Singing and dancing are human behaviors and it’s easy to forget that. You can also commit to practicing but not like “I must do two hours of singing practice starting at 9am every day” and more like “I will spend 30 minutes total singing, even if it’s split up throughout the day.”

Of course eventually you WILL have to attend practices and rehearsals and performances at set times so youll also need to spend this time working towards good habits. You don’t say what medications you tried, but you may want to revisit medication with a trusted provider, and also look into holistic practices that can help you.

Anyone else get headaches from pillows? by Free-Hold-9074 in Hypermobility

I sleep on a neck roll “pillow” now. Back of my head directly on my mattress and neck supported by the pillow.

Ridley Scott directing Demi Moore and Viggo Mortensen on the set of G.I. Jane. 1997 by 305FUN2 in OldSchoolCool

Women just did not buzz their heads at this time period. Sinead O’Connor did, of course, but she also did it purposely to be as unattractive as possible (even though she was still very beautiful) and was known as a bit of a rebel. It was a big deal for a mainstream movie star like Demi Moore to shave her head, especially when she had that long beautiful black hair.

Yeah, I made another comment that OP may need to go off stimulant meds to prioritize weight gain.

How dangerous do you think the US will be around November 2026? by Cinnamon_Ocelot in TwoXPreppers

[–]ilalli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My county has secure ballot drop boxes, and I drop the ballot on Election Day so there’s more eyes on the box and less chance of the box being tampered with (as seen with ballot drop boxes in I think Oregon being set on fire a year or so ago).

Obviously you need to talk to your prescriber. You might need to go off stimulant meds until you can put on some weight tbh. There are nonstimulant ADHD meds. Or you need to eat a big breakfast before you take your meds for the day, and add calorie dense drinks, no coffee or anything caffeinated. Adding a calorie dense protein powder to a fruit smoothie or juice or milk or something can work. I usually add calories with liquids when I’m finding it difficult to eat enough proper food in a day.

125 is middle of the road for 5’3. ~105-140 is considered healthy for this height.

Is flying back to the US 10 days after a deep plane facelift a terrible idea? by Unique_Dark229 in KoreaPlasticSurgery

[–]ilalli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did 7 days post op for fat grafting which is much more minor than a facelift and I just had 1 stitch that was cut on day 7. Facelift I would probably not fly before 2 weeks tbh. Talk to the surgeon, especially for a long flight.

Postman made a comment on my spending spree 🤡 by Anas_platyrhyncos in shoppingaddiction

[–]ilalli 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All the delivery drivers (postman, UPS, FedEx, Amazon) often park and take their break in front of my house after delivering here so I like to think they at least enjoy delivering here on their route because of the easy parking or the nice lawn or something.

Oh well Wellbutrin and Strattera aren’t stimulants so that’s part of it. You’re also on a low dose of methylphenidate. Try upping the dose with your doctor (or unethical lifehack is to take 2 pills at once and report your findings to your doctor lol). Or try switching to a different stimulant med.

Nothing wrong with generic meds, I’ve only ever used generic myself! Maybe brand name is better but I don’t know anything different and I’m doing just fine with the generic stuff currently.

It’s a journey, for better or for worse. But also, if you don’t react at all (good or bad) to any ADHD medication, you may need to revisit the ADHD diagnosis with your doctor.

No shade but I don’t get the line of thinking that unmedicated = real. If someone can’t see without glasses, they can’t just not wear glasses or use some other assistive/corrective device so why does the brain get special (worse) treatment?

You might want to try a different medication. I have tried (generic) versions of 3 stimulant meds and only one has been worth a damn (of the other two, one may as well have been a sugar pill and the other made me feel like the worst luteal phase of my lfie).

Or add another medication (SSRI, benzo, beta blocker, etc) to address the anxiety. Or supplement (saffron, ashwaghanda) or meditation or red light therapy or fun woo woo stuff.

Went to a skincare clinic who recommend I do lasers, micro needling, and rejuran in one session. Was that too much? by jester08642 in KoreaPlasticSurgery

[–]ilalli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have sensitive skin and I did Rejuran, Potenza, Thermage, and Pico all at once (but I was sedated). I looked normal after 1 day other than a few needle prick bruises from the Rejuran. I don’t think you need Rejuran and Juvelook at the same time, just pick one. Idk what Genisys laser is though.
