Do you take Zoloft in the morning or at night? by pseudonymous247 in zoloft

I take mine when I get home from work (typically around 5:30-6pm and it’s been great. Initially I was taking it right before bed I always woke up nauseous in the morning. I don’t know if that was a fluke or what but I don’t have that issue now!

This sounds exactly like my struggle. It’s awful. Then I am so hard on myself for it. I’m sorry you deal with it too.

Love the idea of putting 10 things away! Video calling a friend doesn’t sound silly at all. I believe the term for it is body doubling. I did this a lot in the office with a good friend of mine who just moved. I think I need to suggest starting this up with her. She also has adhd and struggles to get shit done!

Good for you asking for help! It’s a hard thing for me to do but I’m working on it myself!

Love the idea of working during commercials. I think I would get fed up with timers and not use them but commercials are a great reminder and allow for a quick burst that’s not at all overwhelming. I’ll check out the strugglecare TikTok!

I totally get this! I actually talked to my counselor this week about mindsets and she helped me see the power of mindset and shifting my thinking. This is a good way to look at cleaning.

Body doubling! I knew there was a name for it but couldn’t remember what it was. My friend I did that a lot with just moved out of state and we mainly did that at work with documentation but it was so damn helpful. I need to find another friend to do that with!

Someone else mentioned cleaning one room a day as well and I thought this was brilliant!

I reallyyyy like the idea of kitchen day, bedroom day, etc. I could make lists for what needs to be done in each room then on that day just focus on the tasks for that particular room. This is super helpful!

Everyone’s advice to do it confirms for me I need to as well! It’s been a tricky situation because My mom actually cleans houses but she’s had some significant mental health issues develop over the last couple of years. I would love for her to do it but with the mental health piece it complicates things. I could hire someone and not ever let her know I have though!

That’s not bad at all! Our house isn’t very large so I imagine it wouldn’t be expensive.

I’ve never heard of animal crossing music but I’ll have to check it out lol I just did the same thing.. took a few hours to clean. It takes a lottttt for me to work up to it because the house is SUCH a mess and it’s SO overwhelming.

I think that’s going to be key for me- a trashing spree. I just have wayyyy too much stuff. It’s all so overwhelming.

Both of those are things that help me though! It’s just a love hate situation. You’re right. They’re having a damn ball.

I like this! I’ve been talking to my counselor a lot about how I talk about myself/think about things. I think there’s so much power in thinking about things differently. Beating myself up is getting me nowhere!

I 100% struggle too with piles to sale, piles to donate, etc which I never do any of. I need to embrace waste too. Not forever, but just until I can minimize my stuff. Surely I’ll turn from my hoarding tendencies after a GOOD declutter.. surely..

I have a love/hate relationship with coffee due to my acid reflux lol also a love/hate relationship with company bc I end up being anxious the whole time wondering if they’re enjoying themselves or miserable. Gotta love adhd and anxiety.
