I didn't adjust well to it because I have an erratic sleep schedule, probably partially from a decade of shift work. I am also not a morning person at all and adjusting to 9-5 (or 8-5 or 8-6:30 which is more common around here) was brutal.
Is the job actually 9-5 for real? Like an 8 hour shift that includes lunch? If so, that's a pretty sweet gig. Like NOWHERE let's your lunch be part of your day anymore.
Overall I'm happier at a more consistent job time now. Easier to plan around, no more close-to-open bs.
I have many opinions on this but will summarize for my personal situation which is unique to me, obviously.
I've had depression since puberty started, or earlier but that's just when I noticed it. While medications may have improved my life I manifest many rare side effects and effectively am at the point where I've tried every SSRI or SNRI with no effective tenable results. So you can say treatment resistant.
In my situation I'm used to it. Do I want it treated? Yes, that would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath.
What is more important to me is the acute problem making my life difficult (uncontrolled ADHD).
Think of it like that chart for "important" and "urgent" tasks. In many people's cases treating depression is important but not urgent whereas treating ADHD is important and urgent. And yes, vice versa for many people, which is why the medical professional should use discretion rather than following the standard plan in every case.
Edit: removed irrelevant paragraph
Right?! For me Adderall improves my mood and wakes me up and gives me the emotional/social/mental bandwidth to tackle accomplishing tasks. It helps me not forget what I was saying or doing which is HUGE. It doesn't help with staying on task though. And focus is improved but still difficult. Also there's a 1 in 6 chance I'll get sleepy instead.
So I wouldn't say superpowers but yes it does improve things affected by depression.
Lol, like I have ever had mental bandwidth. Childhood trauma represent!
Spot on with the "I'd really like to get the depression under control before I let you function at your job."
Because fixing the unfixable is somehow more important than making sure I keep my job so I can like....eat. And live indoors. And afford the healthcare that is paying them.
She's basically wearing a Gibson girl hairstyle. The pompadour is held up with a ring of something like foam or a hair rat, which is hair in a sort of netted tube sock thing. The rest is just swirled and tucked with extra hair pieces for fullness.
You should refer to her as her nickname, Rory, since they're both Lorelei.
I would welcome getting to turn down the volume of my sensory issues. It causes more distress than acceptance can fix.
Wait wait wait wait wait hold on.
I was not raised Catholic so I don't understand.
Isn't the Pope supposed to be infallible?
I mean not for real because *gestures broadly*.
But isn't it doctrine or something that the Pope is god's word on earth and is thus infallible?
If so, that would make this apology quite strange, right?
Good luck emigrating unless you can afford those countries that let you buy residency.
Props to anyone who has successfully moved to another country because eegads that is not an easy or quick process.
But girls are gross! We can't let our city streets and parks be sissies!

I literally made this mistake 3 weeks ago. Worst oatmeal ever.
Oh hey, it's Abby!
I have always been "non-traditional" looking. When I was young and skinny I don't think I was ugly but certainly not conventionally beautiful. Now that I'm older I am certifiably "meh".
The expectation to look pretty (for men) is still there even if I don't meet the criteria for their attention. I still feel the societal pressure, I still feel bad about my appearance when I'm not serving male gaze ideals. It doesn't just go away even when you're disqualified from personhood for being ugly.
I'm hoping becoming an old biddy will release me from requirements and I can feel free.
She sounds like a twatwaffle.
The article reports they were friendly until elected when she began harassing and sabotaging him. They have known each other since childhood and even go to the same church.
I don't buy her apology.
