this industry is so lonely…

i love doing hair, i really do. but sometimes i wonder what my life would be like if i chose a different career path. this is one of the most stressful careers, that doesn’t slow down, even in the slow season. im an independent 22 year old salon owner (my salon is suite sized), so i am entirely by myself. i gained business incredibly quickly, and i am usually booked 2.5-3ish months out. my mental health has been plummeting and i have to work more and more to keep up with the economy. i have nowhere to go. no where to debrief. i cant afford anything. i’ve already raised my prices twice, but i still like i’m being overran constantly. i just feel so alone sometimes. we just have to swallow that and hear from everyone else constantly. sorry to bring bad vibes, i just need to rant to other people that understand.

▲ 4 r/ADHD

i’ve been on a stimulant for almost 6 months now, and have been under lots of stress recently. adderall has helped me immensely because i have a lot on my plate as far as work load, wedding planning, moving out soon, client relationships, you name it. however, i had been experiencing episodes my head hurting extremely bad, almost like a burning sensation, and then would start feeling incredibly dizzy and feel like i’m falling asleep and only partially aware. i would start having what feels like “shivers” and muscle spasms as well. I told my dr this, and she said it sounds like seizures, so she is taking me off of my medication until i can get an eeg done. WHICH ISNT UNTIL AUGUST. i cannot wait that long to be without my medication. i get extremely depressed, and literally can’t function without it because life feels THAT heavy. i understand her concern, but was wondering if this is normal practice. i’ve tried non stims, and they make me feel awful. i get terrible intrusive thoughts and i can barely keep my eyes open from exhaustion.

alright, so, i have a 2015 dart with roughly 218k miles on it. i had a cylinder 4 misfire that was shaking the car pretty bad, but was told it wasn’t anything too serious. however, i was driving and noticed she started to smoke. BAD. it was coolant. we couldn’t figure out what it was because it right in front of my drivers seat where the smoke was. come to find out, the coolant line had burst and was spewing coolant everywhere, causing the car the overheat and making the coolant drop to -40 degrees?? the car started to limp and eventually locked up. (i was 30 minutes from home, so we had to drive home.) it started smoking again and wouldn’t crank. my parents are super optimistic it can be saved but i DO not think it can be saved.

to start, i am a 22yo female already diagnosed with severe ADHD. i’ve been under pretty high stress recently and have been having abnormal “episodes” the usually start the same. im pretty exhausted the day of,

my scalp and neck start burning really bad like an electrical shock, then my temp starts dropping and i start getting body shivers and my vision starts to get very hazy. i start feeling like im falling asleep and waking up repeatedly, sometimes with eye fluttering and more body jerking. I can still hear around me but i can barely respond. I’m supposed to see a neurologist soon, but wanted to see if these symptoms were common.
