frustration with meds
ADHD Support / by coyoteskies

...See more Started vyvanse a few weeks ago, titrating gradually from a very low dose, I was so excited to actually start a medication to help manage my ADHD but this particular med feels like it's had the opposite effect. Every day that I'm on it, my patience is non-existent, I feel tense and on edge all day, everything is annoying to me, I get random hot flashes and it feels like I have even less motivation to finish anything I start. I have another appointment with my psych in a few days, she's told me that I can message her about any side effects or concerns that I have, and that's what I really should be doing instead of posting about it here to the void ***. Why would someone put me on this knowing I have such a high level of anxiety already??

Handmade Craft Frustration

...See more Hi there, this dilemma of mine is a little complex but I'll try to condense it a bit. I made a handmade gift package for a then-friend whom I now really don't want anything to do with - having the gift still sitting around reminds me of him and I just don't want to think about him anymore. The gift package includes a handmade necklace with specific stones, and a handmade card customized with his cat on it. Neither have his name on them or anything, but they're still personal enough that it feels weird to just give them to someone else. What should I do with them?

Resisting Attraction/Attachment
Relationship Stress / by coyoteskies

...See more Hi there! I'm going to be moving to a different state to start a school program for 6 months, it's really exciting but makes me really nervous for a bunch of different reasons. One is that I really don't want to be attached to anyone I meet there. It always makes me really distracted and stressed out, and it's never ended well - it's never reciprocated and I end up feeling pathetic and creepy. Problem is, I almost always find myself attached or fixated on someone once I'm in a new environment. It happened when I was at a few different jobs, whenever I hook up with someone, etc. I just get so so attached to certain people and I can't stop myself from thinking about them and worrying about what they think of me. I really don't want this to happen when I go to this new school. I know it'll just make me frustrated and bring my mood down. I feel like I'm not acting like an adult when I think about people constantly, it just seems so immature and annoying of me. I feel like it's inevitable, and that scares me. I hate being like this. (for context, I'm ftm, mostly attracted to men.)

Energy Levels / Exhaustion

...See more Lately I've been struggling with mentally and physically feeling 'up' for everything. I will sleep a bit earlier than usual and still wake up half-asleep for an hour, I'll get a coffee and feel no effects of caffeine, I'll go somewhere I like and still feel like dropping my head to the table and napping. I'm not really sure what to do about it, and it kinda disappoints and frustrates me. I'm really indecisive when I'm this 'tired', and it annoys the people I'm around. I do have β-thalassemia, so I know I can start to feel like this when I lose blood or when I'm a bit extra dehydrated, but I really don't think either of these are the case. advice appreciated but not required :,) and I hope anyone else who might be struggling with this at the moment is able to find something that works for them.
