I need to see my dr to refill my vyvanse prescription but couldn't get an appointment early enough before my current supply runs out, so i didn't take any on the weekend so that i'll still have enough for the work week. back on it again today and it's so good :cheers:

my doctor gave me enough for 2 a day but I asked if I could take three a day and i’ve also been experimenting with 2 at a time to see how that goes which I think is a more appropriate dose

sucks trying rk ration them. and now i’m out and I don’t see dr for a week so back to raw dogging it I guess

I generally don't take my addies on the weekends anyhow, keep tolerance down. Or at least that's what I tell myself

slowly coming to grips with very much needing therapy but ughhhhhh i don't want to

the last two attempts i made at therapy were dogshit, but my motivation to leave the house is nearly rock bottom, which isn't doing much for my ultimate goal of having a job again. agoraphobia sucks.

i couldn't get the last therapist i tried to even recognize that i needed help, nevermind that i was on medical leave from my job at the time because of bad brain. and my problems are so boring and banal (but they still exist!!!!). i'm bad at being honest with therapists. i hate disappointing them.

also really need to get a psychiatrist again. maybe getting back on adhd meds would ya know, help. on a similar note tho, i've gone without ambien for about a month now, AND my sleep is pretty good, and my sleep hygiene is the best it's ever been. silver linings.

Getting your sleeping patterns in good shape is a great start!

I also have problems where I know what I need to do to help myself, but my brain just goes "er, no" and it doesn't happen. You need to be inthe right place mentally to take the first step.

Out of many, Sweden
Keeping a good sleep schedule does wonders for your mental (and physical) health. Taking your adhd meds is gonna help you get of your rear end and do things. Talking about your problems with someone is going to help you deal with them.

I would also recommend some physical activity, I like to take walks but agoraphobia might make that hard

i know what you mean, i just started with a therapist and the whole thing feels like "i don't know what this is going to accomplish". like, i don't really have any problems talking about what my issues are but i'm not sure a therapist can really help with them. but i've been trying to keep an open attitude about it. i've only seen them twice though so it's still kinda early to tell if it would be actually helpful. still, if you feel you need to talk to someone about what's going on, you probably should

but yeah, at the very least talk to a psychiatrist. the adhd meds really do help when you're trying to get a job, i'm trying to get to see one here for it and it's been incredibly slow going. i had an "appointment" last week that was literally just intake and still don't have one with the actual doctor

god drat i am depressed at the moment. about as bad as it gets

need to do bunch of poo poo to house before house sale finalised

on the upper hand next thursday i’ll have about 140k in my hand and i’ll be able to pay off every single debt I have and also buy my kids some sports shoes and one of them half of a gaming pc

but right now i have to do a few menial
things including calling a lock smith

sorry to hear that you're depressed. i've been going through it myself and it sucks rear end

but maybe it's being made worse by withdrawal? in that case getting your meds tomorrow should help. i hope you sort it out though

yeah, i know that feeling. idk if it's similar for you on the adhd side, but any time a therapist asks "ok what are your goals?" it's just a blank stare from me. idk, what the gently caress are goals? my goals? to not be hosed up i guess???

i have years of therapy under my belt, but most of that time was wheel spinnin, tbh. what i likely need is decent emdr therapy, but it's a pain to find someone who does emdr, has good trans competency (or is also trans) and that takes my insurance, and that i jive with i guess. the whole idea of it is just, very demotivating!

anyway, my brain is not doin great. i need therapy and i know it, i need adhd meds again and i know it, i need to leave my house and i know it. but goddddd i have zero motivation to do any of it other than knowing i "need" to do it.

thats normal, isnt it?

oscillating between "head empty, forgot the thing" and "i need to do an overwhelming number of things and that's impossible right now" is what adulthood feels like afaict
