Yeah, I think I was last here like 4-6 months ago? idk I lose track.

Don't know if I mentioned last time I was here, but I got married lmao My spouse and I decided to replace the carpet in our computer room because it was destroying the casters on our desk chairs. That was April. We didn't get our floor installed until last week. Cool thing is I got my gaming computer put back together now and I can finally play The Sims again!

Honestly kind of sick of working from home because my neurodivergent butt can't focus on anything if it'd save my life and there is ZERO accountability working like this. I haven't been medicated for my ADHD since 2013 and I'm tired of the lack of focus so I talked to my therapist about getting on medication again (only took almost all of my twenties to come to terms with this, but better late than never). So hey, maybe I'll actually earn the promotion I just got lmao

But overall, I'd say my mental health is better than it's ever been. At least, better than it's been in 20 years.

hbu?

My advice: try to avoid Ritalin and Adderall. I got zombified by Ritalin when I was a kid. My wife says that a lot of kids committed suicide while on it. I thought about it, too, but I never carried out any attempts. My sister was prescribed Adderall and it just messed her up like crazy.

I had pretty good luck with Focalin XR when I was younger so I'm going to ask to start out on that and see where things go with it. My spouse will probably be able to pick up on major changes so hopefully we'll know if things go south pretty quickly. I quit taking it mostly because of emotional/trauma-related issues. There was also the fact that I didn't like the way it made me feel. I was thirsty all the time, and my palms were always sticky and sweaty. Of course, now that I'm drinking a liter of coffee every morning, it's nothing that my coffee doesn't already do.

Have you had yourself checked for any sleep issues? I have mild sleep apnea. When it acts up, I have a VERY hard time focusing the next day.

Aww, that’s so cute, happy for you!  Good luck with the therapy and medication side of things, hope you can find what works best!

I’ve been doing alright all things considered, starting my senior year of college next week which is exciting but also scary haha. I’ve been interning with the Department of Commerce which is really interesting, but it’s also remote and I can totally relate to being sick of working from home… I actually got a part-time retail job during online school just so I could have somewhere to go to be around people

Thank you!  

And that's exciting! What's your major? What are you doing or planning to do in Commerce? I guess, more to the point, what's your field of work? If you don't mind me asking all of that. 

Funny thing is I work in state government. I do funding for some of the state's social/welfare programs. I actually really enjoy working for the state, and the people I work with are wonderful folks. They really do care about helping less fortunate people put food on the table and couldn't give a rip about the politics behind these programs. My job now is a bit more social than the job I just got promoted from so I'm actually looking forward to meeting some new people, which is a new thing for me. But my drive before teleworking was 20 minutes there and 30 minutes back (it's like 65 kilometers round trip..booooo...) because traffic. I joke all the time that since they sent us home, I love my commute. The dress code is also pretty lax most of the time!  I think the worst part of telework is learning. We're adopting a new financial system that goes live in less than a month and half the people that're going to be using it have no clue what they're doing and the other half are having to pick up the slack. The people integrating this system are giving us detailed instructions, but they keep changing it, which has been hard on me lol But hopefully we'll have it all settled soon.
