Starting medication and titration for the first time in a couple days

Just had my appointment they are putting me on methylphenidate one tablet to start with. Is this ok? I hear of others speaking about elvanse. I’m so so nervous. Also struggle to swallow tablets is it small enough she said 18mg but if I can’t do it she’ll send me the ones I can crush but to try this out first as it’s extended release. I’m nervous about side effects. I just really want to get help with my adhd my head is always so busy and anxious and can never focus or commit to goals or dreams. Trying to focus positively I just hope something changes and I get better

Johnson’s flea fogger

Hi all I’ve used this for years and I have recently been away and my family used this in my room whilst away at 7am Wednesday and I came home Thursday around 1.30pm. They left it in there and the doors all shut until 7am Thursday which they normally do. Only one window she was able to open

So I come back open the other and notice a strong smell but wasn’t sure what it was at first. I had a private phone call to take for an hour so shut the windows to stop neighbours listening

Then I panicked cos I saw the fogger had wet liquid around and under it on my high up desk and all the items on the desk and the knobs were sticky with residue. It’s never happened like this before

I cleaned it. If I really sniff the floor and walls I can smell it a bit is that normal?

But I’m so scared cos I breathed that in for an hour. I went outside after and did obsessively clean items in the sink even my remotes without the batteries cos I have OCD and left windows wide open didn’t sleep in there but will tonight

Am I safe? I’m worried I’ve got poisoning. I feel ok but I’m very paranoid about it and concerned this was dangerous

I’m feeling so trapped lately seeking life advice support career advisor etc please help

Hi guys. I’m 31 f diagnosed with adhd back in November. On May the 27th I have a teams meeting to discuss starting medication.

All my life I’ve felt so stuck. I get ideas of what I want to do in life then never act or don’t know how to act. I live with my parents still and I feel so stressed and trapped. I grew up feeling so limited

I cannot go on like this. Everyday it’s making me anxious. Has anyone else been like this and fought and overcome it? It’s dominating my life. I wake up lately with depression feeling I’m never gonna be happy and I’m just existing waiting until I die. It’s scaring me.

I’m completely unhappy. I really want to feel free and be happy. I really want to manifest a life I want. I want to be on my own soon but feel utterly powerless no idea how I can ever possibly do it.

Does anyone know of any other advisors that’s I could seek out even if I have to pay. Career advisors someone else. I’m seeing a therapist on nhs but I’m getting nowhere right now.

My life needs serious radical change. And I mean radical change. But I don’t know how to

Hey girls. I feel horrific lately. I just don’t know what to do or how to even express this, so I’m sorry if it’s all over the place but I’m seeking some advice. I have always felt extremely powerless and stuck. I was diagnosed with ADHD last November just shortly after turning 31. My mind always races. I always get ideas in my head and never act on them. I never left home and feel too powerless to live alone I want to feel financially stable. Also job wise it’s not great I currently do remote call centre work I hate it so much. That’s all the sorta job experience I have and similar. I don’t really want to go back to uni either as my adhd I can never make my mind up and I don’t want that debt and just could never commit. I have big issues with commitment and feeling trapped

I would ideally love to work for myself somehow. When I was 25 I did beauty classes in the evening then the pandemic came and I never followed through. I can never EVER stick to things or take actions. I feel so anxious writing this and fearful my heart is actually pounding because I know I need to change my life. Idk what to do ladies please help me out with some advice or if you’ve been in similar way to me and turned it around?? So scared. I’m also in a relationship for six years he’s overseas but it feels quite low effort everything I wanna do places I wanna see he’s always just said yes then not followed through always had excuse all these years. Intimacy feels like a chore but I can’t leave I don’t even know if I want to tbh cos I don’t like change and also would throw my somewhat enjoyment away and then I’m stuck with my family again

I’m so nervous lately and also sinking into depression. I wanna travel a lot. I wanna feel free. I want to feel happiness. I feel sad and scared daily because I wake up feeling after 31 years of this I’m just not gonna get that. I also use to want to model cos I loved photography and having photos taken but I never followed through. I feel I have messed up all creative pursuits and to be happy. I don’t want to be trapped in a horrific job I hate working for someone else and barely surviving.

Any tips on how you turned it around if you’ve been in a similar situation? This is really hard for me to type all this out so forgive me if it sounds messy I’m just not really good at this. Also any tips on self employment or starting your business and any other pursuits? I can’t live another year like this I really can’t waking up is scary feeling like this.

Thank you 🙏

I have an iPhone 12 and 64 GB storage. I have had the phone since 2022 and battery replaced a year ago. The storage was quite full however I managed to offload and uninstall apps to get it to 45 as it told me I need 17 gb and it still won’t download. I removed everything and Reddit. I just reinstalled Reddit to come on here and ask. Idk what to do. Any advice?
