I have 3 projects at work, a project a home, plus chores, and a routine for feeding the animals and keeping the house clean, which I can't adhere to, so lump them in as chores, and I have to talk with friends regularly about twice a week, assuming I'm not overwhelmed and sit in dead silence, and the projects at work overwhelm me, so the project at home suffers, which overwhelms me, so chores don't get done, and that overwhelms me, and I talk to friends, but they can tell I'm overwhelmed and they ask me what's wrong, which overwhelms me, so I sit in front of YouTube and get high.
I just started on my meds a week ago. Here's hoping.
what meds did you start? i started Strattera just over a week ago, and this is a whole new world.
Strattera, actually! I'm on 18mg along with Lexapro. Been on it a week as well. Haven't felt much different yet, tbh. Gonna give it some time.
Woah! I'm on 40mg and tend to be really sensitive to these types of drugs, so it hit me like a wall. I'm starting to even out, but my ability to stay focused on something is nuts. I worked on a freaking puzzle this week! WTH? Even my siblings have made multiple unprompted comments about my focus and calmness. And, I'm starting to fall asleep unaided and without laying in bed for 2+ hours. It's super weird. I hope they work out for you! 😀
Buddy, you're living the gold standard that I'm striving for. Thank you, hopefully there's light at the end of this tunnel for me!
Well, my Willy Wonka not working so good, so it's not perfect. I'm gonna ride it out for a month to see what happens. I see the psych in the first half of next month, and will let them know to see if there are any remedies. But aside from that, it's been amazing! Let me know if it starts working for you.
I hear you. My lead singer doesn't want to perform much either, and my wife's meds keep the venue closed, anyway. I'm out of euphemisms, but, hey, such is life.
