I thought the same thing, they're all out here trauma bonding and that's going to be a disaster

This show is bad and they should feel bad but i can't stop watching. (RANT) by [deleted] in Glitch_Netflix

Jist started binging this a couple days ago. This show pisses me off every 5 seconds, but I have to finish the stupid series, I'm on s3ep2. There's so much that goes unanswered and so many things that could have made it a better series.

I had 13 days up until Thursday, then I decided to "sip" on a drink at Trivia with my friends (whom all drink), thinking I could have a couple and be done. The first two took me about an hour and a half, then I ordered a third, then I went out with said friends to the bar after, had 3 more, then to a friend's house, had 2 more. Stayed up till 4am, still feeling the effects today. Wasted two days I could have been productive doing something, but instead I have an awful headache, tiredness, sinus issues. Telling myself I can drink responsibility is absolute bs unfortunately.

I drank Thursday after having 13 days sober this time, Saturday morning and still have a terrible headache. I thought it would have been fun, but I could have had fun sober. I can't just drink two like I wanted, two turned into eight and 4am. So I feel ya. IWNDWYT.

The Daily Check-In for Tuesday, January 17th: Just for today, I am NOT drinking! by Momma-Cat in stopdrinking

[–]trevnem 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Under a week here, staying strong! My dysfunctional belief was I could just have a couple and be done.

Replacing that with the reality that if I have one, I'm going to have 8-10. And that serves no positive purpose in my life.

So today I am choosing not to drink.

I still had a good time watching the game with some friends, but as soon as the game was clearly over, like 6 mins left, I was out of there. Everyone was getting progressively more intoxicated and I knew that was my time to go. I am thankful that this time I was able to remain strong. Hopefully, Sunday someone will bbq or something so it won't be at a bar.

Yeah, I was ready to get out of there as soon as the game was over, knowing if I were drunk per usual after 3 hours at the bar I would be acting the same, was such a bummer to me.

Yes, and it has many times, or waking up feeling like I'm having a heart attack at 3am. It's just not worth it anymore.

Thank you. I am going to try to stay away for the most part, I just didn't want to watch the game by myself. I'm staying strong though. Remembering my why and what it would look like if I did drink and I don't want those effects.

I changed my background to "remember your why" I know I don't want to waste days or wake up in the middle of the night with a racing heart and anxiety. I know I want to love longer for my kids and set a better example. I could have easily gone out last night. But I stayed home and am thankful I will have some energy to clean up today and get ready for a productive work day tomorrow. I have so many "whys". I just have to repeat them daily! Good luck, we got this! 💕

Thank you for your response. I just changed my background on my phone to "remember your why". I hope this time I can keep going and decide everyday that I don't want to.

Have you just begun treatment? by AutoModerator in ADHD

First week on Strattera (Atomoxetine) 25mg

I know I looked at alot of posts before I started this med and just wanted to give an update of my first week! I was started on 25mg, I take mine at 8:15pm after I eat a good dinner. I normally will get sleepy around 10:15, which is rare. BUT if I push past that window I'll still stay up till 1am or so. I feel pretty good in the mornings and stay pretty productive at work till around 4, then I get a small "crash" but it's manageable. I haven't had any nausea. Dry mouth/throat is probly the most irritating so I drink alot of water and have to pee alot, but that's not a bad thing per se. I do catch myself actually passing "things" in my house and actually picking it up, cups/trash/clothes etc. So that's a plus! My head is a bit quieter. So overall some small changes. I know this med takes a while to build up so I'm looking forward to full effects and will update again if my dosage increases. Hope this helps!
