For context, I have adhd. I got diagnosed about two years ago but medicated a year ago. The clutter and consumption used to consume my life. I would buy hundreds of mini toiletries to store in my car, purse, bags, friends houses, work, gym, you name it.. because I kept losing them. I’m just starting to run out of these 1 oz products. I would shop for fun. I thought I needed triple of everything I own “just in case.” Then, I moved out of my parent’s house and got medicated. Malls are no fun anymore, just a place to get a drink and show off an outfit. Ross, TJMaxx and Marshall’s are places I never visit. Amazon was deleted. I have more money for groceries, experiences, trips, you name it, things that really matter. I thrift everything I own. My things are old and worn and practical and I love it that way. Free concerts, clothing swaps, library events, hikes, swimming, and cooking fill me with so much joy. I like my life this way, everything in my home has a purpose. My mind feels free now, I have no idea how people shop every day, Amazon boxes crowding the doorway, etc. I’d like to hear if anybody else became low consumption after becoming medicated.

I can deal with the restaurants and the lack of snacks or the lack of quick frozen meals but what bothers me the most is having to go to three different stores to find ONE THING!!! I go online, I filter the store near me, okay cool they have two left (gluten free pitas specifically) and I go.. they are not there. I go to the store manager I say “my app says you have two in stock” he says “we’ll have a few more coming in later this week.” So I need a pita NOW! Then I try another store, same thing, “many in stock” so where is this stock? Not in the frozen section, or the organic, or the bread… fuck it I’ll just eat a salad. This is a weekly occurrence. I don’t want to order one thing from gluten free grocery.com or from a restaurant depo. I want to go to the regular damn store. Why does one Walmart 45 minutes away have everything and one doesn’t even have a damn pasta?

Is there any specific website, Etsy, or eBay seller where I can find things like mini skirts, jackets, boots, etc. I LOVE the outfits you guys put together. I have found things on about 8 different platforms/sellers I just want to make my life a bit easier 🥲
