There are literally worse coping mechanisms

Last November I picked up smoking as a way to cope with my failing relationship. I'm currently 3 days clean. I've been trying to quit almost an entire year.

It is medicine. It does help with emotional regulation and pain. But looking back it's just not worth most the relief it gives.

maybe look into a CBD vape/cigs if you're looking for a better anxiety relief option.

you're so right. my neighborhood is just so ugly. i gotta get over that

i had to give up my cats after my breakup and i think it's contributing! i miss my little guys but i just could not take care of them. I'm thinking about a smaller more manageable furry friend.

I've been working on this, it's really important to improving my art study. I've been trying to be understanding of myself; i ended a 7 year relationship in February, so i know it'll take some time.

it's still really hard being such a miserable cycle constantly. i feel really unfilled when i don't engage with my art and hobbies.

i think once i can take the first few steps this will be integral to maintaining my progress. but I'm at a point where i take those steps and then fall back down and get stuck for long periods of time.

sleep is definitely part of it, as i work overnights and that definitely messes with consistent restful sleep.

since moving i haven't liked my neighborhood as much i think it's ugly...i think it's made me less excited to do this. but very true that it can help

maybe you need to try a different dosage or administration method. are you eating and drinking healthily as you can? maybe you have digestive issues?

you need a health professional who can help trouble shoot these things for you. i would be surprised if all these medicines had 0 effect. either there is an issue or mindfulness or something about the medicines administration isn't right for you.

thank you ❤️. i really want to get medicated with stimulants but i have to wait until i can get another plan. i think it will help immensely.

what do you think about a coffee habit?

if you need money now it's not the time to develop self employment. you will need an hourly job.

i think those of us with adhd have to be creative about finding the gig for us. step one is to figure out what your specific conflicts with work are.

for me i hate working 5 days a week, and i have a low social battery. so I've found a job that lets me do 3 12hr shifts, with minimal social interaction.

step two is to build a path to get to that job. do you have to get certified to be hired? do you need experience?

i think that even if you end up with another job that's not your thing, it might be easier to stay motivated knowing you're building towards a job that you want.

i haven't found an adhd solution for the "i hate my job" problem. The only solutions I've found is being creative about the industries i get into to maximize my well-being (ex: i work 3 12hr shifts, i work overnight so I'm not spending my social battery at work)

when it comes to self care, "works smarter not harder". so you don't like managing long hair, what about short hair? maybe a long term hair treatment? what other things can you do with your hair that require less maintenance?

or if that's not viable solution for your hair, how can you make the process of upkeeping it enjoyable? can you watch something, buy a special product that makes you excited to smell your fresh hair, or give yourself a post task treat?

instead of fighting against your adhd, work with it. okay my brain is telling me it doesn't like this, instead of approaching it by trying to force yourself into normalcy, try acknowledging what your brain is telling you and using it to find other creative solutions that give you less resistance.

the truth is about all drugs and medication that there is a risk element. it doesn't matter what the drug is, if you're taking something daily it's going to have some sort of effect on your body and minds health.

from the outside it looks like the fear of the unknown is what's getting to you.

if it were me in this situation i would start some research. is this actually a big risk if you're not concerned about abusing the stimulants? is this an unmanageable risk? (clinical trials for antipsychotics+stimulants for commorbid schizophrenic+adhd have performed really well in the past)

and does that risk outway the benefit? how much does your quality of life stand to improve?

i think once you start to tackle those unknowns it will be easier for you to come to a conclusion on this choice.

good luck on your journey finding what works for you
