trying to get out of bed with adhd like a fly in a glue trap

smth different from my usual- i was taught this when i went to PT a couple years ago and i've never seen anything about it online. obligatory disclaimer i'm not in any way a medical professional and this wont cure your headaches, but they make mine a decent chunk more tolerable and sometimes that's all you can ask for

i had someone tell me chiro wasnt real and wasn't doing anything for me in the same breath they told me to try cbd oil 🫢

SCREAAMMMMM I wouldn't be surprised if someone told me to just go align my chakras instead. also god I love being told by other people that it isn't Doing Anything to me. like DAMN THAT'S CRAZY... Ig when I've fucked my neck so badly that I can't turn my head to the right, and I'm able to finally get range of motion back again only after getting a chiro adjustment, that must be like a sugar pill thing or something. Or when I have a tension migraine that won't go away for days and days but dissipates after an adjustment. Or when being bedridden with back pain was a common occurrence before I started going to a chiro regularly and now I can go on walks and hikes without my lower back seizing up. Or how my carpal tunnel improved when she started loosening up my wrists. But I guess it doesn't "do anything". I must be fully imagining it. It must just be some woo-woo mind shit. I should probably just smoke some weed and that will physically heal my entire body. I should probably just drive to oklahoma city and pay some extra for a PT to tell me to do some of the exact same stretches my chiro advises me to do, and advise some of the exact same habit changes my chiro has mentioned, and to perform some of the exact same adjustments, but call them "manual therapy" instead. Oh, PTs don't do "adjustments", they simply put their hands on you and manipulate your muscles/joints to alleviate pain, loosen you up, and feel for small misalignments. Which is fucking exactly what a chiropractor does.

Current count since I last slept: 41 hours.

I think I've capped out at 46 before, I'm not sure because my worst fit of insomnia had me in no position to check times. But I'll say 46. So if we hit 48 we're setting personal records!

ughhhhhh I need my ADHD medicated again I've been doing well all things considered but the difference in how easy things are is night and day

well. congrats to me for being diagnosed with ADHD at 31 i guess lol

Anybody else with ADHD get like, days that act like depressive episodes but don’t *feel* like depressive episodes

Days where the scheduled stuff for the day ends and you have plenty more to do, but you feel tired so you sit down/lie down for a bit and then you’re just stuck in the endless scrolling/shorts/whatever easy dopamine loop, and you don’t feel unhappy but it doesn’t exactly feel good, and you can’t even get yourself to really move onto something that’s *fun* and you actually care about, like a show or book or game or hobby, but requires more of an attention span

And you don’t really eat or drink or get up to use the bathroom until those needs really start to make themselves known

And then it’s like midnight and you still feel tired and you wish YouTube never made their own version of TikTok but even if they didn’t you’d probably just mindlessly turn to something else for these episodes—

this is not how the world works, but i would like compensation for the many petty ways bureaucracy makes my life just that much more difficult :)

(missy voice) yes im evil but do you think im not going to take even to pick up their hormones? im not a monster, doctor.

Hey y'all, weird question time again! This one is glucocorticoid related, specifically about the side effects of short courses of steroids

Do y'all have steroid withdrawal symptoms even after short courses of glucocorticoids? I've had multiple doctors say it shouldn't be possible, but I've had pretty bad withdrawal symptoms every single time I've been on non-taper short course (like, a week or less) corticosteroids, and even with tapering I still get symptoms. Without tapering, even after only a five day course, I had a resting heart rate in the high 160s and could barely move I was so exhausted. Nowadays, I just tell all my doctors that I know it's weird but I have to taper, yes, even off of that low a dose for that short a time, I have to. So far they've all believed me and changed the prescription for a taper dose. Is that an issue you've had? Did they end up figuring out why? Initially my doctors thought it might be indicative of adrenal issues, but now my latest doc thinks it's not adrenals, and I don't know what other reason I could be this ridiculously sensitive to steroids.

I think we should invent a way to refill prescriptions that works.

who else can say that their recent designs in canva include a kendall roy t-shirt graphic and a fake prescription for SRRIs

i swear to god if i call my derm tomorrow and they tell me they haven't heard from dupixent and don't know what i'm talking about i'm going to fucking THROTTLE SOMEBODY!!!!

time to play the horror game of Rotating Antidepressants And Hoping That The One SSRI I Tolerate Both Works And Doesn't Cause A Manic Episode 👍

they should invent a prescription that you can actually access
