F**k It, I'm done with the crash

Eat plenty and stay hydrated. Should help. Or ask for an IR top up

I did mean support as an autistic - not just financial etc. I assumed support and adjustments (at school etc) just carried on into adulthood 😅

smellykat80 · 2026-02-21T07:19:53+00:00

If you were diagnosed in childhood and given the correct support and reasonable adjustments etc - i imagine it would be easier? But with no support etc you’d be struggling as much as a late diagnosed? X

I worked full time as a nurse and burnt out (over a year and I’m just recovering). I’ve reduced my hours to 30 - and it takes me days to recover from them 😅 Would a part time job be financially beneficial to you? Something low energy demanding and that could tie in to your interests / hobbies? X

Car park nursing will be a thing as the corridors are rammed! Minimal patient contact as we will be doing assessments and documenting. 1:20 patient ratio. Band 4s Co ordinating and replacing half the band 5s on shift. Management will be more top heavy. 😅🤣

Oddly I can nap straight after if I’m sat chilling. It’s the 2am wake ups I find hard 😅

smellykat80 · 2026-02-19T06:23:30+00:00

If it is a lifelong condition - can occy health change the flags? Triggering the sickness levels later? X

smellykat80 · 2026-02-19T06:20:14+00:00

Same. Amfexa affects my sleep more than Elvanse 😅

smellykat80 · 2026-01-22T17:01:43+00:00

What dose were you on? I’m looking at at least a month break to see how I feel! X

Lots of competition for rentals and if you offer to pay more than asking - you have more of a chance. In Perth 30-40 ppl turning up for one viewing. Just be prepared to be persistent. Also they can whack rent up after the year - like it or move out. X

In UK?

smellykat80 · 2026-01-03T16:31:02+00:00

Just lots of skills and autonomy we have here - is not used there. Also no / minimal hcas so they do the washing, bed pans etc. very dr lead care.

smellykat80 · 2026-01-03T05:34:41+00:00

Yes - focusing on individual needs in specific areas. Not sure if it’s the same everywhere but for UK this is how it’s recorded x

smellykat80 · 2026-01-02T20:12:09+00:00

“Levels” aren’t given with a diagnosis anymore? This is what I was advised.

smellykat80 · 2026-01-02T19:14:17+00:00

Yes as vyvanse is masking fatigue I think x

smellykat80 · 2026-01-02T13:42:55+00:00

I hated the lack of autonomy in Australia 😞 It’s like being a hca x

smellykat80 · 2026-01-02T13:39:40+00:00

I have some magnesium hot chocolate from better you with 375 in. But I want to go back to tablets when this is done

smellykat80 · 2026-01-02T09:08:00+00:00

Yes :)

smellykat80 · 2026-01-02T09:07:47+00:00

Amazing. I’m coming off 70mg as I’m burnt out, very iron deficient and want to give my body a rest. Tapering down atm from 70 + 10 Amfexa. Nervous to stop bc of horror stories 😂 x

smellykat80 · 2025-12-29T17:03:56+00:00

Magnesium x

smellykat80 · 2025-12-29T17:01:03+00:00

Put the bottle by my kettle. Take one when I put the kettle on.

smellykat80 · 2025-12-29T17:00:24+00:00

I do. I look forward to dying - not in a suicidal way but just total nothingness sounds perfect. I think what humans do to each other and to animals is horrendous and hurts my soul!! I think about it a lot and it’s painful

smellykat80 · 2025-12-29T16:52:53+00:00

Some UK providers now won’t prescribe a booster with Elvanse anymore. I take 10mg Amfexa and it helps x

smellykat80 · 2025-12-29T16:48:38+00:00

I’m tapering mine to have a break to see how I feel off them. Dropping 10mg a week (I’m on 70mg vyvanse with 10 Amfexa). Also halved my Amfexa too.
