My room is a damn mess. Since I'm off tomorrow I should devote part of the day towards cleaning some of it.
That cashier at the gas station told me not to worry about paying for my fountain drink. |

I had mistaken these sensory issues for anxiety for three years. However, the first year of this job I actually cann... |

| I just have so very little social capacity these days. The way I get along with people best is on forums through a loose style of communication. I already have a couple friends who message me regularly and I can't really handle any more than that. |

| Today I went to a restaurant that my sister works at. I went by myself. During the course of the day, I had done 4 hours of work at my job, helped a friend accommodate a new pet and did some shopping for her. I took a nap. When I woke up I decided to make the trek down to the restaurant. (It's fairl... |

| I'm on Strattera. Me too! Has it helped? What does are you on? I'm on 100 mg, and it hasn't made a huge difference if any, I can't actually tell :lol: I have a med review in July. 25 mg, probably the smallest dose. After some time I have noticed that my attention span for tv and reading seems better. |

| I'm not actively suicidal, but I have multiple mental illnesses and it's hard to want to keep on living in this world. I think the last time I was actually any sort of mentally well was 2019.
