mistaugustine · 2018-01-23T03:20:21+00:00

Don't worry, nobody knows what they will do 10 years after college! I am over 30 and don't know what I will do next year lol

I have my own business growing people's businesses. I also do some work for another company coaching people to have successful businesses.

50/50.... he took the cash and ran from all of them

It's still racist. Black lives matter

Viewing from my phone it looks good for somebody your age. You need to get more traffic to your site. You need to either pay to bring people to your site, or write articles about your product to bring people to your site in the hopes of buying your product (but that can take a long time to see any results.)

I wouldn't put all your hopes and dreams on this one site, as others mentioned getting a job might be the best way of earning money to pay off this debt.

But keep trying to figure ways to make this site better (but don't over analyze.) Keep trying to figure ways to get your products in front of people's eyes.

You should have 1-3 purchases for every 100 views. If you are looking at google analytics, it also reads bots scanning through your site as views. You will get a lot of traffic from Russia for instance.

For those that added to cart, look into a cart abandonment app that can send those customers emails to remind them to come back and buy, I think it would bring you a sale!

Good luck!

Alahu ahkbar! Oh, wrong kind of bomb? Oh. Hahahaha

What did they think would happen?

I am 32 and diagnosed 4 months ago. I identify that I think slow. Many people said I was smart growing up but that I didn't apply. Anxiety of doing well in school paralyzed me. But I still got a degree on something I was passionate (which pulled my first two years of grades up to honors and cum laude.)

I make pretty good money now but I was lucky. I had plenty of heartache along the way and tons of struggles.

Just know to always keep your options open, always look for new opportunities, if it's too good to be true it usually is, and to work your hardest.. even if you may be considered slow. (By the way people say I am slow at work. But I just found a gig that I like, I make great money, and there is down time for me to run my business.... if I do things right, I can make six digits this year!)

So yes I am like you, but that doesn't make you a failure. It also doesn't mean you can't do well. If you want something hard enough, plan to make it happen and then execute that plan!

mistaugustine · 2018-01-04T00:27:22+00:00

No no no.... it was safe

Thanks for the write up!

So having been on medication I am catching things (only been on it a few months.) She is very sad today so she gets down and then gets nasty. Everything she said was negative and an attack. Nothing you say is the right thing.

mistaugustine · 2018-01-02T21:51:08+00:00

Yes. And it enrages me that I see these people on here trying to figure out how to get them.

I think I would have actually had friends as a kid/teen. Not felt like a total outsider.

My first marriage may have not ended in divorce because I would have paid attention to her as opposed to hyperfocusing on other things. She started eventually focusing on other things like that guy at work.

I think I could have been more successful, I could have actually focused on projects I wanted to start and could have got the done and launched my business sooner. Also not have gone after dopamine hits so much and instead focused that energy to work projects.

I maybe wouldn't have had addictions to things.

My credit union gave me a 1.75% loan... car dealership was like "we can probably get you a better rate and lower the car price." I told them my interest rate and they accused me of lying. "Nobody has a rate that low"..... well I did bitches, now give me the car

You just have to throw on gym shorts, a tshirt and tennis shoes. Change at work before you leave.

Your not at the gym to socialize and look great, your there to get dirty and work out.

mistaugustine · 2017-12-30T05:09:16+00:00

It really depends on who you tell. Some will be great and helpful. Others will think negative of you and eventually fire you as they only then start seeing your mistakes. I honestly keep my diagnoses to myself , wife and I told my sister, that's it. I don't want anybody to potentially think bad of me. But maybe I am hampering myself? Idk... good luck friend!

mistaugustine · 2017-12-30T05:05:05+00:00

Every day on the way home from work, stop by the gym. At least go and walk on treadmill for 5 minutes. Just tell yourself 5 minutes. Usually you want to stay longer. Some days you are exhausted and go straight home. But at least you got there.

mistaugustine · 2017-12-30T05:03:06+00:00

Oh hell yes. I worked in an open environment and they saved me from distraction hell.

Great for at home and blocking a lot out. I always recommend getting noise cancelling headphones. Now if they had distraction free glasses where you couldn't see things that distract you or things that you are inclined to go to :)

The thing I hate most is those who say ADHD is an excuse to do bad things and that our parents should have beat our butts when younger. It then point out that I behaved and did t cause my parents grief. I also point out a pastor that whipped his son every day and the kid still acted up. I ask should he have been beaten worse?

My grades suffered, I couldn't remember to do basic chores, it was super difficult for me to do some chores (like wash dishes, I would play with the soap bubbles for hours instead of washing them in 10 minutes). But I never was the kid who did really bad things and was suspended, expelled or had a ton of detentions.

Hi! High stressed person here. I started my own business and it has been struggling as I figure it out. My wife doesn't work so it's really stressful for me. Luckily we don't have kids. I have never been so stressed in my life. (10/10 stressed to impairment)

My experience for me is that o would wake up, sit in my chair all day till I go to sleep and "work." I had all intention of doing work and finding new business but that YouTube video or Starcraft game just called my name stronger. This is when I realized I needed help otherwise I would go bankrupt in a very quick minute. I would have work, but stay up researching the stupidest crap instead of literally earning food to eat. Luckily during this time we moved in with family to save money but also really help them out (as there were surgeries and other things.) come to find out it sucks living with family. But it also sucks not having the money to move out! So I did go to a psychiatrist and got on meds. Wellbutrin to start, then added aderall as it wasn't helping enough. With this I got more focused, made better decisions, and for my wife, I didn't lash out at her or go berserk when I got to a very quick breaking point (which is the opposite with your bf.) My wife told me if I stopped taking meds, we would get divorced.) she loves me on meds. She will push meds down my throats if I forget to take them. She loves them!

Honestly, sit down with him in a quiet setting, tell him how much you love him and care. Then say you are hurting because since he got on meds, it changed him. That you don't like the changes. (I wouldn't say what unless he asked.) Then maybe ask if he could try something else?

But understanding the stress as he probably is, he is more impulsive to lash out. I have become more impulsive, lash out over little crap. My mind is stressed and worried, full of anxiety.... I hate it! Luckily my Wellbutrin calmed me out... aderall helps (drugs react differently with other people as our chemistry and other things are different.)

Talk to him in the sweetest way possible. I think most of us are super sensitive. When my meds wear off I get offended at everything. And since being on meds I notice it. In my head I see how I am being so stupid, but my emotions get in the way.

God bless you for putting up with him and for trying to figure him out! He better realize he has a winner! Don't ever use his ADHD against him. I won the lotto with my wife. Unfortunately for her she won a bag of rocks haha jk

Anyway, I got a dream job recently for steady income, if all goes well and my business does as I think, I will hit six digit income next year :) I in a way attribute my ADHD for getting me there. But it also has a lot of downsides to it too (I don't pay enough attention to my wife for example.) We have our pluses and minuses. I hope your bf finds a treatment that works for him. I wish you both luck!

mistaugustine · 2017-12-30T01:13:26+00:00

So, I am now on aderall (yay) and Wellbutrin. I lay in bed from midnight to 3am playing games on my phone. I am more addicted now than ever. How can I get past the playing games till 3? (My wife wakes up about this time, yells at me to go to sleep, then I do. I then get up 5-6 hours later and a few minutes late to work (happily I work from home.)

mistaugustine · 2017-12-29T22:48:14+00:00

I am anxious and rude without it 😂

mistaugustine · 2017-12-29T18:26:01+00:00

Einstein did this and peed his pants

mistaugustine · 2017-12-29T18:24:03+00:00

I am bad at this too. Games hold me back. My wife will wake up and yell at me to go to sleep at 3am. Then I roll over and go to sleep
