Chokes McGee posted:Awesome! Glad to see you're feeling better and taking care of yourself. I take it in the morning. When night fell, my anxiety got a lot worse. I take it in the morning with the idea that I will need to redose in the morning when my anxiety isn't normally as high. angerbeet posted:Do you snore? That sounds sort of sleep apnea-ish. It's more like an anxiety dream delusion thing. It used to be that I would wake up thinking a spider was crawling on me but changed over time to choking.

Oddly enough, buproprion seemed to keep me awake or at least I kept me awake while taking it for the first couple months. My pcp suggested I take it in the am and it's been fine since.

Today I finally got back into therapy with a new psychologist, and I requested someone who was good with ADHD, anxiety, and depression. Instead I got a guy who focused on the fact I wasn't in a relationship, and since I was a 30 year old woman out of college, I should consider online dating services because "your options are limited". Let's not focus on me telling you I drink four-five nights out of the week to kill the evening anxiety or that Tuesday night I got caught up in an intense desire to die, LET'S INSTEAD focus on how I'm sad and might not feel like putting on makeup, but I still need to get out there! No one's gonna knock on my door! Every time it's an old white dude, EVERY GODDAMN TIME. I've started looking again because I know it's very much a matter of life and death, but loving goddamn it.

my life advice is don't have the mental disorder that makes thinking about, going to or being at work cause panic attacks and general anxiety that prevents you from sleeping even when you aren't doing those things e: actually if you do do this make sure to be insanely rich ahead of time turn off the TV has issued a correction as of 05:29 on May 11, 2019 |

This is borderline unethical and now I’m mad and red again. May also be nude, can’t confirm or deny definitely a good call finding someone new. that guy’s a fuckstick for even bringing it up, let alone saying what he did.

i'm lucky enough to have my depression be treatable with medication and time, but i also have a crippling fear of mind-altering substances outside of meds, so is it better to be not depressed and sober or depressed and drunk

Being depressed and drunk pretty much destroyed my life so probably not that.

I try and avoid drinking when I feel depression/mania now because it rarely goes well- its taken a lot of time and repeated reinforcement. A beer or two doesn't count to that, but it's a lot easier to keep it to a beer or two if I only have access to a beer or two because otherwise sometimes I find myself at 12 beers and thirsty

yeah take it from a former alcoholic, don’t mix mental illness, meds, and drinking it doesn’t end well

my landlord says we will get our keys at 3 PM on monday (assuming the city approves following the walkthrough). we need to be out of our current rental by the end of the day Tuesday. lmao it is gonna be a stressful as poo poo. we were supposed to move in may 1 but it is new construction and they missed deadline. hopefully i can track down the landlord we were going to rent from but their lease terms were super hosed up like we needed their permission to have ANY guests. we told them to pound sand and give us our refundable deposit ($500) back and they just hosed off with it

Still jobless. Still feel like nothing good will ever happen. What really sucks is that I went to ask that resume thread in Ask/Tell's business subforum for help and I vented about how poo poo stuff was and got a bunch of dickheads lecturing me about how my attitude is bad and somehow every hiring manager can somehow sense that, and how I clearly need to just get even more training to get the job I went to college to get. Feels like the same dudes who post in the landlord thread post in there, just utterly loving sociopathic assholes who assume everything is clearly my fault for not bending down further to lick people's boots for something. Like holy poo poo, one of those loving geeks PM'd me to whine at me further about my "nasty attitude" but I sent him the pig with poop on its balls in response, so at least that felt good SunAndSpring has issued a correction as of 06:34 on May 12, 2019 |

I used to be you and now I'm not only employed, but hiring management, so take heart in the knowledge that one day you too can love Big Brother. (you dont have to apologize for your attitude on this ever, looking for work is loving demoralizing and you have every right to be broken up about it. in a way, you're dealing with a form of grief because you're mourning the life you thought you'd have at this stage in your existence)

mourning is a good way to describe the hollow feeling of being in your late 20s without a single meaningful life milestone to your name. wild fantasies about dental insurance and a studio apartment are my version of staring wistfully at a family photo, I guess made a post on reddit about how much unemployment sucks and got some nasty private messages about how I shouldn’t expect a living wage with a masters in “underwater basket weaving”. I hate lumpenproles

Plinkey covered the cost for me to go to a perfectionism class next month. But I had to take my car into the shop today after a blowout and I don't know the damage. I put the odds of me not being able to go after all at five percent. I'm trying not to think about it too much, I won't know anything until tomorrow.

2 months ago I was staring at two finals for school and was way too sad/depressed/anxious to even attempt them. I just closed my laptop and laid down without turning anything in or emailing the professors today I had two more finals due. I got them both turned in with a ton of spare time and got 298/300 on one already and expect to do pretty well on the other. thank you to whatever deity for therapy and zoloft, what a loving turn around

I just don't really know what to do when the money runs out. I'm going to try to take out whatever's left in my 401k this week but who knows what will happen if I don't get a job. My life was miserable living with my folks, I can't imagine it'd be better moving back in with them after I've proven I'm a total waste of time. I think a lot about dying but that would just hurt people I care about, so I'm just lost.

it may sound insulting but i dont want it to, but have you tried just day labor jobs? like gardening or flagging for construction? its not great work but it keeps you busy and you make some money. did you do college recently? they might have job postings for office work or something on their wall, my community college still does it oldschool that way
