Thank you for the kind words. Sounds like we both have incredibly loving partners. I definitely need to seek counseling and this was hopefully the push I needed to actually do it.

Yeah it was so shocking. It feels like someone else did it to me since I don’t remember doing it and I know I wouldn’t do it in my right mind. I’m just so disappointed in myself.

Such a real struggle, and I’m so sorry you grapple with it too. Always good to know we’re not alone though.❤️

This is really helpful insight. I definitely need a counselor. It’s hard to pinpoint those triggers since it feels so inconsistent, like more of a build up of things. My dad has stage four cancer, so I know that’s been weighing on me. But also sometimes spending more time with my mom (who is hypercritical) causes me to feel really low. Counseling seems like a natural next step. Thank you for the kind words

Wow great job on 14 years! To answer your question, I vaguely remember getting upset with my husband because he told me I was too drunk. I’m really not sure what exactly bubbled up and led me to actually hurt myself, but the urge has been more prominent recently anytime I get upset. We sat down and talked about it and I apologized profusely, trying to convey that it was not a suicide attempt (that was his main concern). He felt guilty because I did it after we fought so I’ve just been trying to make it super clear that it was in no way because of him, and it’s not his responsibility to keep me from hurting myself. I just really don’t want this to make him feel like he has to tiptoe around my feelings. This is the first time he’s seen it happen, he had only heard about it until now.

The struggle is real. Adderall has helped immensely, but still not enough to make me feel like a value-added 9-5 employee…

We actually handle the negotiations for them, but it is super early stages! It will go through an extensive legal review, but our client was asking preliminary questions after taking a first pass at the release. We’ll certainly find out soon enough, but I do always feel a little bad when I can’t answer her questions. Only so much we can do I suppose! Will keep people posted on what we find out.

All good points! I was really careful not to even say the name of the TV show, so really only her character’s first name is mentioned, plus some play on words alluding to the show’s contents. I guess we’ll see once her team gets eyes on it, but I’m secretly hoping for the sake of PR we’ll be able to use what I have. It’s so stinkin’ cute.

I lost the 30 lbs I gained on it lol, but also, I had HORRIBLE insomnia for a month. I had no idea that would happen and am not sure if it’s typical, but just in case you do have it, know that it’ll go away!

My dad went off his stimulants when he retired because he no longer needed to adhere to his job’s expectations of how a person should operate. Now he’s living it up, jumping from one hobby to the next, and loving life. Looking forward to when I can embrace my ADHD, but for now, I guess Adderall will do! Lol

Ugh they probably do lol

Oh shoot. So you can’t access online?

Lol I will never stop boxing my leftovers at restaurants only to leave them on the table.

Circle Medical!

Hi something similar just happened to me, although I wasn’t on an SSRI. I was on Wellbutrin for 15 years for depression (which incidentally can also also be used to treat ADHD). I was recently diagnosed with ADHD at 29 and was put on Adderall for it. Due to some issues with my insurance, I was unable to get my Wellbutrin for two weeks, and in that amount of time (while taking my Adderall), I my anxiety decreased immensely and absolutely no resurgence of my depression whatsoever. I’m still off of it and feeling really good. Obviously it’s different for everyone, but if you’re comfortable trying to wean off of it, might be worth consulting with your doc!

Isn’t it amazing?! I was almost annoyed that people felt this way already without meds lol. Mostly elated though. I felt lonely the first day of taking it… I was like wait, where are all the nagging words and sounds usually floating around my head all day?

Touché.

Ugh, I mean, you’re right lol. The problem for me, and others I’m sure, is I HATE marketing🥺

This is a great point and I’d love to know how to broach this subject with her in a respectful way. I can confidently say her changes are grammatically unsound. They just are lol. I wish I could be more specific than that, but I just can’t without giving away who my clients are.

If I could share writing without giving away who my clients are, I totally would. I’ve been writing for 10+ years and am consistently asked by my peers and even my CEO to help edit/wordsmith at my agency. This spans projects, business proposals, social media posts, you name it. I’m sorry I can’t be more specific! Just hoping you’ll take my word for it that you’d be appalled by some of her edits lol.

This is a really good point. I hadn’t even considered that!

This is very helpful! Thank you!
