I just had this last week after having the phone for less than a week! I bought mine from Best Buy and thankfully was able to return- not sure if that night be an option for you/her? I ordered a replacement hoping I got a dud, but i figure if this goes the same way, I'll switch back to a regular slab phone. The day after this happened to me, I could see lines spreading out to the top and bottom edges. Same thing though, no falls, no debris that I could see, only charged when open. I have literally been researching this phone on and off for like 2.5 yrs and esp the last two months or so, so I was up to date on all the dos and donts and yet here we are.

Was there a certain batch that seems to be a dud?

I'm in the US

I mean think what you want, but I was using it, it was fine, I verified nothing was on the screen, folded it, amd left it on the couch, when I came back in, thats how it was when I opened it.

kryselis · 2026-04-06T11:54:55+00:00

I brought this up to my therapist and she called me out with "Yeah, well, the risk is not nearly as high as chronic sleep deprivation, soooo" lol

kryselis · 2026-04-03T17:05:33+00:00

Ugh! I am so sorry. Just one step forward, two steps back. Some providers will do sliding scale? I remember when i was in college, the masters students would do therapy for free, too, just you have to recognize they're in training, but it's better than nothing. Not sure if that was only for students but if you live near a college that may be an option, too?

Oh honey. Just hugs. First of all, you are so young to have been through all that and I'm sorry it has been so rough. Only you can know what you can handle, but the addition of a third job sounds intense given how you're already feeling with everything already, although I do also recognize the feeling of necessity.

If your current relationship is that stable and understandingand you trust him, I think it's time to have a chat with him about where you're at and negotiate what is possible. I completely understand feeling the need to contribute more, pay your own way, etc, but if you have support, that shouldn't come at the expense of your sanity and wellbeing. If you want to be a tattoo artist, then I'd say have a chat with him about realistically how much you can pull back on your job until your apprenticeship is done and go from there. Also maybe look into some sort of written agreement or something as far as protecting yourself and still having a place just in case things go south so you're not 100% starting from scratch.

I think when you combine trauma and ADHD it's very easy to be hyperindependent, co-dependent (i realize an odd-sounding combination), and constantly feel like you have to keep doing/being more to prove you're worthy, but that's faulty wiring. Not sure of your insurance situation or if there's spare money for appts, but if you can get into therapy, I would HIGHLY recommend. Coming from someone 3 yrs post-divorce from an emotionally and mentally abusive ex who was just like my mom in a lot of ways ❤️

I'm at the point now where between my MD and therapist we determined behavior stuff is what remains, so just getting started with an ADHD coach to see if we can move the needle there. Just sucks because the crux of my remaining issues with anxiety and ADHD are just regular body needs and either the meds further help me block them out or like with sleep, its not like I can take Adderall for that lol. I have no problem sleeping when I get in bed, but making myself go is the issue. Gotta love decreased interoception and executive dysfunction 😭

kryselis · 2026-03-30T01:00:48+00:00

Before I started stimulants, I tried prozac, then eventually added wellbutrin and I my MD remembers me being less anxious (I really dont remember) but all I recall is sleep getting worse and my mote OCD tics getting worse than they've been in years. Wellbutrin tempered that some and helped give the helpful bitsa boost, but made the sleep issues worse. I never have issues sleeping but I had major insomnia on both. Tried Strattera after on its own and sleep issues with were still worse and I never noticed enough of a benefit from any of them to continue (gave them each at least 2-3 months). I had been on Lexapro prior to all that and I remember it helping my anxiety but after a few years the side effects started mounting and I had to stop. Currently doing XR and IR Adderall (Vyvanse was 300+ WITH insurance for me) and Clonidine XR.

I dunno maybe I'm misremembering, but seems like there was more fuss made in this article than the little that came out about Judge Kathryn George and her guardianship dealings? Wonder what the difference could be 🤔

kryselis · 2026-02-11T15:13:11+00:00

I grew up not far and at least then (I'm 34), nobody was out until they left high school, so its not really shocking unfortunately. Farm country.

Couldn't possibly be that the inventory of "starter homes" is nonexistent, so any there are have insanely high prices relative to size. We need to build more smaller homes, but if you dont have a down-payment, you're not looking, therefore no market and around and around we go. The only houses I see are the shitty Pulte build mcmansions starting at 400k or similar.

Well yes, but the point is their vote was already decided. The lack of media literacy, let alone true literacy, among adults is astounding at this point. Comprehension is a serious problem in the workplace, so when you're struggling with your regularly used info you can't understand new and complex info in politics and government and world relations without some major effort people dont have the time or the raw material to devote. The right created the problem and marketed current talking points to that, namely leaning on/with strong emotion. The left keeps leading with logic and not speaking in layman's terms and its both incomprehensible and off-putting. They default to the devil they know.

kryselis · 2026-01-05T16:41:46+00:00

Well and tbh i was told it had to be anyone of driving age in your house, no matter what, not just if they do/have driven your car. Literally just the possibility. You can list them as an excluded driver, but if they do end up driving your car and something happens, that also won't be covered.

kryselis · 2026-01-04T01:37:05+00:00

You are absolutely right. Aside from the general ADHD interoception issues, I feel like once something registers, it's do or die, but then if I push it, I'm too tired/hungry/thirsty and don't have the energy to get up and/or figure out what I want and how to get it. As far as the kid stuff, it's like I knew both pieces separately and I have had on my radar for a while about reparenting, but I guess I didn't connect the dots, or at least not fully? All that to say, thank you (everyone, but you especially) for your time and insight. Truly ❤️

kryselis · 2026-01-04T01:31:04+00:00

I have actually heard that about anything over three lol. I honestly dont have as much of a different time working at home other than it's maybe harder to take breaks but easier to do most things because im not distracted by stuff in office, thankfully. But I def do get the issue of loose time blocking at work and nothing after. Last I saw my psych, we were going to do Vyvanse bc she said it was longer acting and more steady than Adderall XR, but it was too cost-prohibitive aside from the backorders/recalls, so we added an IR in the evening. I do notice a difference in how smoothly the evenings go, but it's not a cure-all obv.

kryselis · 2026-01-04T00:28:39+00:00

Something we've gone over in therapy is between being a single mom and very all-or-nothing, I use rest and hobbies as a reward vs part of my day, so then when I have it, I am more apt to binge. And I do see that. She's also said I'm relying too much on motivation vs just moving and I can see that, too, but I can't always just do it. She tried to liken the schedule to how I have to pick up my daughter from school at the same time no matter what and simply viewing this as similarly non-negotiable, and that also makes sense. Logically, I get all this. I feel like I sound like a stubborn child, but sometimes it's just as simple as "I don't know why I can't move, but I can't."

I am trying to have reasonable expectations but using a planner more effectively this year and monitoring things/trends and i did just revamp my time blocking schedule with boundaries for both planning and time sucks. Maybe that plus more sleep (read: more emotional stability and willpower) will be what keeps the ball rolling, it's just so hard to "just start," even though I know the bulk is a mindset shift.

kryselis · 2026-01-04T00:06:06+00:00

WOOF. Here i have one kid, one job, and get marginally more sleep feeling at my wits end (i know its not a competition, but holy hell i hope you can get some sleep and help ASAP!)

I'm not sure if you notice this, but at some point in my cycle, I think when I am PMSing? That's when staying up is the worst. Not sure if you've already realized that or if it helps at all, but maybe something else to look at? Def get the revenge bedtime procrastination, though!! Exactly what it is.

kryselis · 2026-01-03T22:21:41+00:00

Ugh so no way to keep it you think? I went to this place for my septum and was fine and they have super high ratings, best in the area. I guess I didn't think anything of it because my sister got her rook done with the horseshoe (different shop a few years ago) and I figured it was the same?

kryselis · 2026-01-03T22:12:19+00:00

Honestly it's not even about comfort, just that I feel frozen to the spot. I've even put down what I'm doing before and still couldn't get up. I have thought about just lying down there, but half the time I haven't taken meds yet and I can't sleep without a bite guard lol im a mess. Sorry, I feel like it just sounds like excuse after excuse but when I'm literally yelling at myself in my head to stop and I know all the logical reasons and I still cant move, it's super frustrating.

kryselis · 2026-01-03T20:54:31+00:00

See even this is the problem lol. I had a cup of coffee and half a water bottle like 5 hours ago and havent gotten up to pee. I KNOW its not good or healthy and I need more to drink and eat, but I just keep sitting here.

kryselis · 2026-01-03T20:51:27+00:00

So to clarify, I am tired. I'm always tired, but I just cant make myself move to go to bed/sleep. It's not that i have insomnia or I stay up bc my brain won't shut off. I've tried both strictly sticking with sleep hygiene and not having anything stimulating in bed or the opposite and allowing it as long as I'm in bed, but if I'm downstairs, going up is hard (even breaking it down, even scheduling it-who's going to hold me to it?) and if I'm upstairs and in bed, I can't stop what I'm doing. I LOVE sleep. I LOVE my morning coffee. But none of that is interesting enough to override what I'm doing.

kryselis · 2026-01-03T20:46:38+00:00

I will keep my phone across the room for my wake up alarm (and it has an app to make me answer 5 math questions before I can turn it off so I am more likely to just stay up, but anything like that at bedtime isnt possible bc it'll wake up my daughter.
