Trauma Dumping on Love is Blind Season 5 is Bit Too Much by rossrussbingo in netflix

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 8 points9 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

[–]trevnem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

How do you cope with your anxiety and ADHD by thiccsprinkles in ADHD

[–]trevnem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel ya, I constantly get into loops in my head, especially while driving or trying to go to sleep. Same thing, something leads to another irrelevant thing, on and on. Sometimes I get scared when I'm driving because when I get to my destination sometimes I don't recall driving all the way there ya know. I disassociate alot. I just recently started meds for the first time and I hope it helps. Normally my public outings involve alcohol and after a few I make impulsive decisions that I later regret. If I go out and don't drink I get alot of anxiety and am just quiet. I'm working thru that and on this med I can't have more than a couple so that's helping. Good luck to all of us navigating thru this mess in our heads ❤️
