I hope this is the right sub. I just got the ac in Nov 2025 and now I am regretting it. My electric bill has gone high probably bcs it is a non inverter ac

Weather where I live:

11am - 6pm : Very hot

- 31°C~

- Feels like 40°C with humidity

7pm - 10am : Warm, damp and muggy

- 25°C - 29°C

- Feels like 31°C with humidity

I've been wondering whether I should use Dry mode instead of Cool mode?

Supposedly, Dry mode extracts water from air making the surrounding feel less humid and uses less energy. But I've also read that Dry mode is designed for cold but humid weather. Using it in hot and humid weather like my country defeat the purpose. It leaves the room dry but not cool enough to counter the hot temperature outside

For context, I stay in my room on most days. I also have hyperhidrosis so with this humidity level, I got smelly & sticky very quickly

Short term I'll die without the ac

Long term, I'll die from the electric bill lol

Whenever I searched on google or social media, I got different opinions about ac electricity usage

My current usage, I usually run at 27°C (87F) in Cool Mode for around 18 hours a day...

- 11am-1pm (3 hours)

- 2pm-5pm (3 hours)

- 7pm-5am (10 hours)

I'm planning to cut down nighttime usage from 10 to 5 hours. If I stick with Cool mode I will turn on the Eco whenever the ac is on and will also turn on Sleep at night. Are these actions good enough to save the bill?

Also, is it more efficient to

- leave the ac on for hours straight?

- turn it on off alternately like how I'm already doing it?

I keep telling myself to calm down but I can't. It is probably not a big deal but I am freaking out a little

I've been using Ritalin IR around a year. 2 weeks ago I requested ritalin LA bcs of its longer effect and my psychiatrist agreed.

The first day of taking 20mg LA, I noticed how it didn't kick in like IR. LA effect was really mild but constant, while IR was shoving itself in my face.

Despite the mild effect, I knew LA worked bcs I could easily start and finish the tasks I hate such as doing self care and house chores. It made me so happy and released stress bcs the effect lasted for 8 hours so I could finish many tasks peacefully. Also I barely had any side effect with LA.

With IR, it lasted only for 2-3 hours, but it stressed me out bcs I had to push myself to finish everything in between 3 hours.

Until 3-4 days ago I slowly begin to struggle to start doing self care & house chores again. Which I assumed that LA is losing its effect.. Or maybe all of this time it was novelty? And it wears off.

Ever since that it went downhill until today. I felt disappointed and it effected my mood. My room is a mess, the last time I did self care was 3 days ago, I feel dirty but I cant bring myself to shower or brushing my teeth, my assignments is piling up again and I have class in 2 days etc. I'm scared and idk what to do. I don't want to switch back into IR :(

I texted my psychiatrist, told him about it and asked if I should continue taking LA. He said to keep taking it. But why take it, as if it will improve anything. I don't really someone to talk to about it, adhd online support group is all I have

Sorry for the long rant and sorry if my English is bad

Edit : The reason why I'm freaking out bcs the feeling of losing control over my life is really scary. It's hard to get the rhythm back

I assume the kitten is 2 months old but it's so small it looks like 1.5 month old. No congestion, lethargy, sneezing, and loss of appetite. The right eye looks good. Only the left eye is infected but still partly open. The left eyelid looks swollen and there's yellowish liquid discharge from it.

From what I can see, the eye ball looks fine, but I worry if I didnt do anything the kitten left eye might go blind. It doesn't seem to be scratching the left eye, so i assume there's no itchiness. The kitten and its mom both are underweight, has fleas and probably ringworm

I tried wiping the discharge with clean & soft cotton but after a while, the discharge will appear again. Maybe there's more discharge in the eye or behind the eyelid

I don't have money for vet. What can I do :')

Idk what to call this. I’ve seen people mention “object permanence” with adhd, but some also that it’s not really a thing for adhd, so I’m confused

Basically, if I don’t see or think about someone for a long time, my brain just… resets everything about them. Like what I should/shouldn’t do, their vibe, boundaries, etc. I’m calling it RR (rules & regulations) for fun.

I do forgive people easily, but this doesn’t feel like forgiveness. It feels like I genuinely forget my RR with people. I straight up forget my own boundaries. What worry me is I don’t want to look desperate toward people who hates me and also keep putting myself back in the same situations with the same people who keep hurting me

I only noticed this recently. When I met an old classmate at a wedding and casually asked how he was doing, then halfway through I remembered that guy actually hates me 💀 His reaction made it click and I was like… Why did I forget that?? And it probably looked like I was trying too hard to be friendly. Quite awkward.

Another time, two of my close friends hurt me pretty badly. I was so stressed about it I literally got a fever from it. My mom even told me to stay away from them. Fast forward a month later, I casually tell mom I’m thinking of going out with one of them… completely forgotten everything until she reminded me what they did and how bad it hurt me. I was like oh... yeah... Like hello?? 🫠

There’s more. A close friend of mine has a sister I used to hang out with. Turns out the sister was manipulative behind my back. I was furious and told her I’d stay away from her sister from now on. Only for two months later, I told my friend I wanted to hang out with her sister when I got free time… and she said "Didn't you say you wanna stay away from her?"... I was like, "I did?..... OMG I DID"

Does anyone else experience this or know what this is?
