Hey everyone- I know it’s hard to tell what’s going on from a pic but I’m just confused.
So I had 0.8ml filler in April - it was so lumpy so I went to another practitioner to get a dissolve on the 30th of June
When i originally got them filled I had no swelling/bruising at all!
I’m just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I can’t find much information about it.
Thank you! X
I’m hoping someone has been through something similar because I’m honestly so confused about what’s happened to me over the last 6-7 months. I’m in no way asking for medical help. I just want to have support from humans who might feel the same. I don’t know if my issues are related with Elvanse or anything I’m so lost
I was diagnosed with ADHD and started Elvanse in December after a bad experience with Concerta. Around the same time I was also diagnosed with BPD/EUPD and was already in a really bad place mentally, so I’m struggling to work out what is causing what.
The Elvanse seemed to help at first but every dose eventually seemed to stop working I went up through the doses until 60mg, but 60mg was way too much for me and I felt awful. I’m now on 50mg Elvanse with 20mg Amfexa at 1pm and another 5mg at 3pm.
Since December I feel like I’ve become a completely different person. I’ve had severe derealisation and dissociation, emotional blunting, memory problems, depression, confusion about recent events, social withdrawal and I’ve completely lost motivation. Some days I spend most of the day in bed. My self care has gone downhill and I feel mentally slow all the time. I can’t barely speak I forget things I’ve just done!
The worst part is that I don’t feel like me anymore. I genuinely can’t remember the last time I felt happy. It’s like my personality disappeared somewhere along the way and I spend so much time trying to work out what happened. Sometimes I look back at old photos, messages or memories and feel like I’m looking at someone else. It’s my 21st in a week and everyone is so excited 💔I feel nothing at all but sadness.
I’m also reducing zopiclone at the moment, which probably doesn’t help, and I’m currently taking lamotrigine, propranolol, promethazine and gabapentin too. I do need all these meds for different things which is why I’m on them
I’ve recently been prescribed Wellbutrin (bupropion) but I’m scared to start it in case it makes things worse even though part of me is desperate for something to help.
My GP has recently made an urgent referral to the mental health team because of how much I’ve deteriorated. I’m not sure how long that will take I did ask about voluntary sectioning but he wanted to try this first.
I don’t know if this is depression, dissociation, burnout, ADHD medication, BPD or some horrible combination of everything, but if anyone has experienced anything similar I’d really appreciate hearing your story.
I just want to feel like myself again💔💔
Thank you for reading I wish you all well

Hi everyone hope you’re okay!
I’m just looking for advice - I know it’s not a medical opinion but it’d be nice to hear from people in the same boat.
I started titration at the end of November I was put on Concerta XL, it was really awful I was on the lowest dose and it didn’t agree with me at all.
So I switched to Elvanse and at the moment it’s a love hate relationship.
It seems like everytime I went up a dose the productive good feeling lasted 3 days to 1.5 weeks max. I had the best results on 40mg/50mg.
But when I tried them again it was flat.
I tried 60mg and I had no life in me I felt horrid
I know some people say they’re better on a higher dose.
My prescriber gave me the reigns (obviously in a safe way) to experiment which is best. I currently have 50mg & 70mg in my cupboard. I also have 5mg,10mg and 20mg Amfexa.
Currently I’m on 50mg Elvanse with top ups (experimenting with the top ups)
I eat protein bars , have protein drinks. I’ve tried Amfexa on its own- felt nothing at all!
I just go flat I don’t know why like I can’t explain it. It’s hard knowing how good Elvanse was at the start !!! I know it can be the one for me.
So im just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if so how did you feel/what did you do.
Thank you - again I know its not medical advice x

I would like to start this off by saying one simple thing
You never know what’s going on in someone’s lives- please be mindful
The image I attached was real hate I received after asking for support- out of respect I covered their name.
But their name isn’t the point. I reached out to find out why he posted the nasty words - I have a bad habit of overthinking and it was on my mind so I reached out to speak on why they were nasty in my comments just why. I let myself down as I also swore back but I got frustrated - the feeling I got from being a child without an ADHD diagnosis. I was frustrated that I was dismissed.
What I’m trying to build on is we should be able to express ourselves without getting hate. A simple constructive criticism would have help.
Hey, so I recently uploaded a post in here that upset some people. I had really bad hate and I didn’t understand why.
I am a 1st year that has ADHD and much more.
Yes I do have a learning plan
Yes I do have a support advisor (who is always fully booked)
Yes I do have materials
Yes I do reach out for help with Uni they help
No I don’t use AI I never would.
My aim was simple to hear from other students and their lived experiences their ideas that’s all
I think because I automatically expect people to give the warmth I give it hurt a little more.
So,
Firstly, I would like to learn about my mistakes- how can I approach a question I have without getting criticism?
Secondly, please remember not just for me but for everyone out there we are all humans and it’s okay to be new to things it’s okay to be confused it’s okay to reach out. But what isn’t okay is to call people names swear at them and make them feel worse.
This is my first time living too and will I make mistakes? Yeah.
Will I find things hard and reach out for help? Once I know how to articulate it properly? Yes I will
Because everyone deserves help.
Everyone is so stuck on the use of AI (which I would never do, I’m too much of an over thinker) that my original post drew people who didn’t understand my point.
I will never understand why, my brain is different and I can’t understand why I got hate instead of help.
So my main question is - how can I ask for help on here.
What I did was copy and paste my brief and that was took for AI and everyone thought I wanted them to do my work.
It wasn’t the case at all it was to ask for tips ( someone on Reddit explained it perfectly to me. They said I use my own experiences and draw from that) - no cheating just guidance.
I think the world would be a much better place if people would be kind and think “well she’s 1st year she doesn’t know, but I can’t give her the answer or any theory names. But what I can do is at least give guidance”
Please remember words hurt, and some people can move on where it really knocks my confidence.
I know we are all anonymous here which makes it tougher as you don’t know who you’re talking to, how they’re doing, if they’re struggling. Adding hurt and swearing isn’t necessary. At 16 I got diagnosed with a chronic illness that I felt ruined my whole future. I’ve fought blood sweat and tears to get here. I already felt not good enough and the comments didn’t help.
I’d love to make new friends and I am sorry I was unable to write my last post better. Life can get really lonely so having support can help. My DMs are open always.
Those who have/will be nasty please look at rule 3.
In a world where you can be anything please please be kind! Everyone you meet could be fighting a hard battle.
On that note I hope I can learn to ask the right thing, I hope I can be part of the community and make friends.
Thank you🤍
EDIT- It seems I wasn’t clear (sorry I find it hard to explain) I have done my essay and it’s ready to hand in :) I still have over a week! So I thought I’d just reach out and try expand my learning by asking for help.
I copied and pasted my brief at the end - this is not AI.
I will never use AI.
Hey everyone hope you are well :)
I have been given this essay - the question is **what are the purposes of education.**
We have been given Harry Brighouse as framework but we have been told we can use other things.
Me being me I am now exploring the idea of using someone else.
But who…?
I want to definitely use personal flourishing, but I don’t know what others I could use with that, not Harry brighouse.
My problem is I am only first year, I’ve had health issues restricting me and I really wanna do my best!!!!
I can’t find a purpose that connects and has all the criteria needed 😩
I have copied and pasted some key information from it I think it’s the fact it’s using big words I’m not used to 🥲and the very end bit of ensuring it aligns ☹️
Key Guidance:
• Choose two to four purposes of education to focus your discussion (e.g., educating for autonomy, economic participation, citizenship, personal flourishing).
• Contrast your chosen purposes to highlight their differing priorities and implications.
• Structure:
• Introduction:
• Define "purpose of education" and outline the purposes you will examine.
• Main Body:
• Explore each purpose in depth, drawing on academic theories and historical or contemporary examples.
• Discuss the strengths and limitations of each purpose, drawing on relevant examples and perspectives.
• Conclusion:
• Summarise your findings and evaluate the competing claims of the different purposes.
The Brief's Wording:
\^
Students have flexibility in selecting purposes of education.
\* Choices must be supported by historical, sociological, and philosophical perspectives.
\* Brighouse's Aims as a Starting Point:
Brighouse's framework Work, Citizenship, Autonomy, and Flourishing) provides a strong foundation.
\* However, this is not restrictive-students may explore other educational purposes.
• Alternative choices must be. theoretically justified and critically analysed.
Tip: If selecting an alternative purpose, ensure
it aligns with the assignment's analytical approach and is supported by academic literature.
TIA🤍

I have copied and pasted some key information from it I think it’s the fact it’s using big words I’m not used to 🥲and the very end bit of ensuring it aligns ☹️
Key Guidance:
• Choose two to four purposes of education to focus your discussion (e.g., educating for autonomy, economic participation, citizenship, personal flourishing).
• Contrast your chosen purposes to highlight their differing priorities and implications.
• Structure:
• Introduction:
• Define "purpose of education" and outline the purposes you will examine.
• Main Body:
• Explore each purpose in depth, drawing on academic theories and historical or contemporary examples.
• Discuss the strengths and limitations of each purpose, drawing on relevant examples and perspectives.
• Conclusion:
• Summarise your findings and evaluate the competing claims of the different purposes.
The Brief's Wording:
^
Students have flexibility in selecting purposes of education.
* Choices must be supported by historical, sociological, and philosophical perspectives.
* Brighouse's Aims as a Starting Point:
Brighouse's framework Work, Citizenship, Autonomy, and Flourishing) provides a strong foundation.
* However, this is not restrictive-students may explore other educational purposes.
• Alternative choices must be. theoretically justified and critically analysed.
Tip: If selecting an alternative purpose, ensure

Hey everyone hope you are well :)
I have been given this essay - the question is what are the purposes of education.
We have been given Harry Brighouse as framework but we have been told we can use other things.
Me being me I am now exploring the idea of using someone else.
But who…?
I want to definitely use personal flourishing, but I don’t know what others I could use with that, not Harry brighouse.

hey everyone hope you are well!
kinda looking for advice/ similar experiences really,
In July 2025 I got diagnosed with ADHD
In December 2025 I got diagnosed with BPD
December I started Concerta and it was terrible! Just didn’t agree with me I felt NOTHING, not even the side effects of a dry mouth or anything! Just around 7pm I would be on the floor sobbing uncontrollably.
I then changed to Elvanse (I’m still on that) but working on it
20mg- great for a few days then stopped working
30mg- great for a few days then stopped working
40mg - amazing for a couple weeks then nothing
50mg - amazing for a couple weeks then nothing
60mg- good for two days then bad effects such as isolating myself.
So I went back to try the 40 and 50 again and found 50 better - still not 100% so I have 10mg amfexa (can up if need but not sure by how much)
So I’m currently on 50 but struggling
~extreme tiredness
~dip around 7/8pm can’t keep eyes open
~can feel flat
~today it dipped around 12:30pm??
~irritability
~talking feels like a chore
~prefer alone time
~ im here and can talk but don’t want to/ can’t? My eyes burn
I’m finding it so hard on what to do- I’m just wanting advice
I’ve also just changed contraceptive pills to Yasmin as I also have possible PMDD.
I’m on lamotrigine 150mg
I’m wondering if it’s a dose issue - hormones - BPD - wrong meds??? I’m so lost and feel so alone no one gets it.
50 was great but now it’s not and I really am wary of the methylphenidate type now. I much prefer Elvanse I just want help.
Thank you for reading, wishing whoever is reading this happiness, good health and luck🫶🏼
