I’ve been taking Zyrtec for probably, I don’t even know as long as I can remember. Almost 8-10 years probably? And I’m 2020 I had terrible sinusitis, like my surgeon said it was the worse he’d ever seen, and he’d seen a lot. Anyway my allergies have always been really bad and he thought that might be part of the problem, so he suggested allergy shots. I finished them completely a few weeks ago, and was told after I completed them I’d have next to no allergies. Well that didn’t happen, at all. I got off my allergy meds slowly just so it wasn’t super sudden, just to try and help my body out I guess, I mean I’ve been taking them forever. And this week was the first time I didn’t take any at all, and wow. When you get told you’ll have no allergies, and you get really bad allergies just stepping outside, it’s a little annoying. I mean, really? I suppose they aren’t quite as terrible as they used to be, but they were terrible before so even less terrible is still pretty miserable. It was just a disappointment I guess. If any of you’ve tried allergy shots were you put under the impression they would be pretty much nonexistent after? Allergies absolutely wear me out too, like I have finals this week and I just feel so miserable. I’ve already taken Zyrtec today so hopefully it gets better soon, but ugh.

I just think it’s ironic. It’s a little annoying because my psychiatrist messed up my refills, so my adderall scripts get filled 2 days after my other meds, and they can’t really do it any earlier than the exact day..and won’t send me a reminder to refill or do automatic refills. I guess I understand why, but it’s that strict yet I can get it mailed to me? It’s a little annoying but it’s not a huge deal, just ironic that my little focus pills that I need to remember to do things don’t get a reminder.

Edit: a few people misunderstood the post I think. I really didn’t think I worded this post in that way, so sorry if it sounded like that, but I didn’t want to sound like this is a big problem me. That’s why I said “a little annoying”, and “not a huge deal”. I just think it’s funny that I can get reminders or automatic refills for every medication I’m on aside from the one helping me do things. I understand the why’s, just discussing something I think we mostly all agree is ironic🙂

It’s my second year of college and finals are next week. I technically don’t have a single full-ride scholarship, but I have enough so my tuition is covered and I get a refund each semester. Super bare minimum requirements on these too, the main things are don’t get in trouble/violate any laws or conducts, and maintain a 3.5 GPA. Well I managed to mess that up. I wouldn’t say I have a drinking problem, but I will say I was drinking in my dorm at least 2-3 times a week. Not with friends or anything because I didn’t want to get caught, but just to enjoy myself I guess? I used to say it was my reward for surviving the day, and it just made me feel better. The only issue with this is I started to prioritize getting drunk over my classes. “If I just start drinking now I definitely won’t be hungover at all, so that means I can just get up early and catch up.” Well I didn’t get up early and I never caught up. Now I’m barely passing my classes, and I literally can’t maintain a 3.5, there’s nothing I can do even if I get 100% on all remaining assignments and finals. And it’s entirely my fault, I know that. I just can’t believe I would let that happen, I deserve to have my scholarships taken away and they shouldn’t give them back to me. I finally slowed down drinking about 2 weeks ago but obviously that was too late. It just sucks. I drank to feel better, and now it’s ruining my academic wellbeing. Certainly doesn’t feel good now.

I see a lot of people on this sub vent about how they can’t stay organized and have a hard time keeping a consistent schedule, but I have never had this problem. I mean I’m not complaining I’m thankful, but I was surprised seeing how the lack of organization/scheduling can seriously, negatively impacts so many of your day-to-day. This is just worded really badly but basically I’m just saying I absolutely love to organize, clean, and make schedules so it’s sad seeing everyone else genuinely suffers from, I guess the lack of enjoyment for it. It’s fun for me, it’s never felt like a chore (until it does ofc). Like you know when you’re doing something you enjoy and you can just lock onto it forever, that’s the zone I get in when I making schedules and organizing my room lol. Like when I get to pick my college classes and make 5 different calendars for it, that’s what gets me going, I’m just always so excited to do it. I will say..as soon as the enjoyment wears off it will take me at least a week to finish it, but while it lasts it’s great. I was just thinking about it because I was going to take an “addy-nap” (I think that’s a thing?) but my roommate brought friends over and they were so loud I never fell asleep🙃 so now I’m just cleaning and organizing for fun. Cleaning and organizing are overstatements I suppose, rearranging is more accurate.

And this is definitely a level of overconsumption that I’m currently trying to fix, but a stupid thing I do is I just order so much junk to stay organized. I will say I do use it all, and I give some to friends and family, and I’ve had all of it for multiple years, but still it’s not easy on the wallet so. But for example I love carabiners, why I really don’t know I always have since I was in elementary school? So I have 30ish different ones, all different colors and varieties, all used for different things. I have my backpack, this crossbody type bag, and one other main bag I use just day to day. Of course they each have their own matching keychain, wallet, house key, etc. It makes me feel so organized but yea a little bit over-consumery too. But they all have their own unique purpose I swear!

I’m not even sure where I was going here I just wanted to talk about how I have fun organizing my calendar and school schedule, school supplies, desk, I love organizing my car console and glovebox too. I start to get chatty if I take my IR and fail to take the nap so..I’ll yap on Reddit instead of inconveniencing my friends and family. Oh, like I said before I actually enjoy my schedules and such (obviously), but my original question was why do you struggle to do so? Like is it just a dislike for it, is it overwhelming, executive dysfunction, or just for no particular reason? If anyone ever wants a Google Calendar color coordinated and synced with 2 other calendars I’m your gal🫡
