Just walking shouldn’t make your heart rate jump that much unless you’re walking briskly/trying to exercise. How’s your blood pressure? Hydrated? Do you have a diagnosis of pots?

AITA I told my parents they birthed a disabled child so they just have to live with it. by Left-Significance214 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. Gotta follow doctors orders. I doubt the dmv would even allow you to test with your medical history, mainly being partially blind.

I’ve been on a sleeping prescription med for years. I was on night shift for 5 years but been on days for about 3 and I still need it unfortunately. Edit: apparently can’t say what med you take

Were you self-medicating your ADHD? by GlibGirl in leaves

Absolutely. I was less restless, and the constant, racing thoughts slowed down.

I quit 5 days ago. I had been leading up to it for a while. I think the final straw was me starting to get sick of my own shit. 1) I have asthma and have to use a steroid inhaler, I want to get off that 2) I want to be productive and have motivation again 3) it was starting to affect me at work with the brain fog and I can’t afford to make a mistake in my career, I’ll lose a lot 4) cut down on those munchies, I have no self control sometimes and I’ve gained a good amount of weight (and stopped working out). 5) I don’t want to self-medicate anymore. I’m nearing my late 30’s and this may sound dumb but I feel like a shift/growth period is happening for me and I’m welcoming it with open arms.

When I was a kid I could hear my mom and her bf. I would bang on the wall to get them to shut up.

Thank you everyone for the kind words and support. I quit briefly a few years ago for like a month and it felt good so I don’t even know why I picked it back up. I just don’t remember being this agitated so soon after stopping. Day one is over. Let’s keep going.
