Hey everyone. I moved to Cleveland last year, I’m from Cuyahoga Falls but have moved all over the past 13ish years. Decided to try out Cleveland because I wanted to get to know the city more. I was also going through some stuff at the time and thought I’d take advantage of living in a walkable area.

So I gave the city life a decent shot again after living in two other cities over the years and it’s just not for me lol. I miss the quiet suburbs. I was originally going to go back home to CF but some family stuff came up and I’m thinking of looking at other places now. Below is what I’m looking for.

- Nature! I love the Metroparks and going on hikes with my dog. I’d love to be around some of the parks, trails, towpath. I’d love to be close to cvnp. The city having sidewalks is a must for me as well.

- Honestly other than that…I’d like the town/city to not be empty/dead. I’m not into nightlife but some good local coffee shops, bakeries, local farms you can shop at or butchers, and niche stores would be nice. Example, something like dokidoki and the vintage shops. Some alt/goth clothing stores would be nice but I know that’s a hard find. This stuff is more of a bonus. Coffee shops and bakeries are more of priority for me than the others. I can always drive to Cleveland or Akron for the rest.

So far Hudson seems to fit what I’m looking for perfectly but I can’t find any apartments there. Every time I see a listing on Zillow the rent is extremely high so unless I get really lucky I don’t think I can find a place there.

Edit: Sorry forgot to include my budget! I can go up to $1800 but prefer to not go higher than $1600. Prefer a 2 bed but I’m ok with 1 bed.

Hey everyone. I woke up to a missed call from my nephew whose in county jail. I texted his brother who had heard from him last night. One of his kids was having a seizure. I looked at the county jail site and found him along with his wife. Looks like they were arrested when taking her to the hospital or maybe after, I don’t know.

I’m very upset and decided to call off work since I can’t focus at all. I found I can fund him and his wife money for food, should I do this? There’s no bail/bond yet, guessing the hearing probably won’t be until tomorrow.

Should I wait for him to call again before I do anything? Should I just send him money now? How much is a decent amount? I didn’t even know you had to pay for food and drinks. I don’t think he called anyone else, no one has heard from him.

Edit: Thanks everyone. I’m going to wait and see what’s going on. Cps called my sister to see if she could take the kids and they let my nephew call his brother to have the humane society pickup their dogs. Unfortunately that’s all they let my nephew say so we’re still in the dark. His brother said a couple rooms were “concerning”. So um yeah, I didn’t want to assume the worst but that might be the case. I feel sick, I was very close with him growing up and was excited to be closer to him again moving back home.

Anyway. Thanks again everyone.

Hey everyone. I’m 37 and got diagnosed about 2 months ago. I started meds but it’s a low dose and does absolutely nothing. I have a follow up appointment in a week and a half, doctor has told me we’ll increase the dosage. Anyway, working on meds but idk how long it’s going to take to find the right dosage and I’ve been drowning this year in particular.

I go through phases with adhd paralysis where I want to do my hobbies but can’t. This started in the winter and I thought when I could go out walking again I’d snap out of it but I haven’t. I don’t know if it’s because of burnout or not. Last year was a really hard and tough year for me. I went through a divorce, moved back home from another state, lost one of my dogs in January (my ex had taken him, something we agreed on but still we had him together for 13 years). After I moved I kept very busy with hikes. I missed seeing the fall foliage and was going out all over the place for the scenery. I thought this year would be better since the grief has subsided and I’m loving living alone but all I do is sit around.

I wfh so I don’t need to constantly mask. Even so I’ve been struggling with work BAD this year. I can’t cook anymore, I do it maybe once a week now and just snack. After work I watch tv, listen to music, and doom scroll. I want to read but I just can’t do it. My main hobby is video games, I own alllll these games but can’t bring myself to turn on a single one. It’s like I want that constant dopamine rush I get with a brand new game. I keep thinking about what game I can play to really get into and focus on but there aren’t any. A new game will come out, I’ll be into it for a week or two, then I’m done. I’m still having fun with it and I’ll want to keep playing but that rush is gone. I hate when I get like this and I can’t snap out of it. I’ve been diagnosed with mild dysthymia as well, since last year when I started seeing a psychologist. I’m hoping that’s a symptom of my adhd but I really don’t know.

Anyone else deal with the same? What do you do to help snap out of it? Even if I do manage to game or read I’ll stop 30-60 minutes later and won’t be able to pick back up again.

Hey everyone, I’m just venting here and this is quite long lol. I got diagnosed with inattentive adhd on the 10th, which took a week to get after my assessment on the 3rd. The assessment took a week to schedule, so to actually get my diagnosis took 3 weeks. My psychologist that I see had referred me to a specialist, and that practice doesn’t prescribe meds. So I get my diagnosis and schedule a visit with a new pcp (I’ve recently moved) to show the report and get meds. That took two weeks to get me in.

I go to the appointment last Friday, they don’t have labs or urine testing onsite. Sigh. Ok so NOW I gotta drive 30 minutes to labcorp for this because my appointment was in the afternoon and by the time it was over, the labcorp by them was closing and I also hadn’t fasted.

I go to labcorp Monday morning, get everything done. Now I’m sitting here waiting for the test to go to the doctor so they can call it in. THEN I’m sure I’m gonna have to wait for the pharmacy to even get it in…like sheesh this is exhausting. Since I’m just getting started after our follow up in a month I have to do bloodwork again to make sure nothing is affecting my kidney, liver, etc. along with another urine test so the doctor can report the meds are in my system and I’m not selling it. Then when I actually get stabilized, I get to go every 3 months! And I have no clue how often I’m going to have to do this urine testing.

I’m having a bad day today. Can’t get started on anything, not even my hobbies. Can’t bring myself to cook or even eat. I wanted to go out to the lake this morning but I just can’t. I’ve been diagnosed for almost 3 weeks and still can’t get on meds yet. I’m just so exhausted and tired, this whole thing is making me want to cry in frustration. I almost cancelled my doctor appointment because I knew this was going to be such a hassle, I currently self medicate with weed and I’m SO tempted to say screw it and continue on with that.

We need this medication and it sucks all the hoops we have to jump through. Like I get it to an extent but man I’m dying here lol. It’s been SO hard for me to manage this year for some reason. I’m 37 so diagnosed late, I always thought I was super introverted and it was just my personality. Now that I know I’m chomping at the bit to start on meds. Then who knows if the meds and dosage I start on is even gonna do anything or make things worse, etc. I have no clue how long it’s going to take before I get the right medication and dosage figured out. I see why some people with adhd don’t bother now…
