Hi all! Im addicted to coloring and I want to make my lighting effect look better. Both pages I took a ruler and used a grey marker first. First photo was a lighter grey marker (ohuhu) second page was darker grey marker and they I coloured over it. But it ended up not as good as I see online. Kind of muddy.. do you have any tips for me?
So basically, it’s written from the neighbours perspective. One day, a guy in the neighbourhood just decides to stand in the middle of the street and he can’t move. I think people were eventually yelling and throwing stuff at him and all he can do is cry. He stands there for months and months like a scarecrow
I was on 10mg for 6 years until I tried to go off of it. So I was on 5mg one month, then most recently 2.5 mg for about three months. Wasn’t working for me and my doctor decided to up me to 10 mg again.
2.5mg to 10mg: started July 16
I feel so sick. I am so incredibly dizzy and hot. I have a low appetite too for the time being because it just contributes to the nausea. On week 2, I felt like I was floating through a haze almost similar to Ativan. I felt pilled out but that went away. Now it’s back. I’m so confused 🤔 I genuinely feel like I’m going to faint due to lightheadedness. It happens when I stand up, no matter how slowly I stand up. I don’t experience the brain zaps but instead a constant ‘fullness’ in my head. I can’t stop staring into space, almost disassociating. These do not happen 24/7 but when they do, it’s bad. I had to pull over and let my boyfriend drive.
The mental health side of things have been ok but it’s hard to tell if I even need the medication, for my anxiety. I originally went on lex many years ago for panic attacks and those never returned at 2.5mg. But what did return: ruminating on my thoughts, overthinking, general constant state of “what if” thinking.
In retrospect I was pretty dedicated to going off it so no matter how much I don’t remember how I was doing without the medication, I went back on it for a reason. But I have never felt so dizzy and I’m just wondering if this is still an adjustment period? I mean it’s been four weeks. And shouldn’t my body remember the dose (10mg) that I was on for years?
I live in Canada wtf is going on
I thought it was because they hired more people, but that was already a month ago and half of them already quit
Most people I know are getting 8- 12 hours (but we are a big combination store of HomeGoods and TJ Maxx) except it’s the Canadian version
The Halloween stuff we are getting is already selling already and I just feel a bit angry at customers sometimes. I don’t know everyone’s financial situation but it’s depressing. The overconsumption is insane. Why are you spending $30 on a wooden pumpkin in July? And it’s not just a one off customer. Just wondering where people genuinely get the money. Yet they keep saying sales are down but it’s hard to believe…
HOW ARE PEOPLE SHOPPING SO MUCH IN THIS ECONOMY?
“ my house is freezing” was the caption and I know it’s normal to get cold and put on a pair of socks and a hoodie but I feel like she’s trying to flex how she’s always cold here😭 ALSO THE SLEEVES
Am I allowed to say I work for a place that rhymes with TJ Snacks? For some reason every single employee got their hours cut since they just hired new people. That makes sense I guess. But whenever I come in for my twice a week 4 hour shift business is BOOMING. And they consistently crush their sales goals. So I have no idea what they’re talking about that they have minimum hours. I’m part-time but I usually get like 18-20 hours. Now I’m down to eight hours a week until July
I mean it when I say the lineup is constantly to the end of the queue and they are constantly having to call back up and everyone is running around like a chicken without a head- and they are expecting us to do the work of so many different people at once.
And lately they are using their hours as leverage! I got told that I have to finish absolutely everything because they gave me extra hours to do so. Basically saying if I don’t finish then don’t expect hours. This is a new thing for management. I’ve never once felt like hours were held above my head based on my workload. If you showed up you got hours.
GENUINELY WHERE ARE PEOPLE GETTING THE MONEY TO SHOP BECAUSE I KNOW IT’S NOT JUST ME STRUGGLING? I can’t tell you it is countless back to back people with carts full of mass produced junk they don’t need. It’s not Christmas time. I’m genuinely in disbelief every single day because I wonder where people keep getting the money to spend.
I’m going to school in September and working retail has motivated me to chase something new
I’ve bought the sunflowers, the lavender, the strawberries, and daisies. The sunflowers only took about four days to pop up. Nothing from the other ones yet. But if you’re bored and looking for a little dopamine, even if you don’t have any gardening experience like me- I was so excited to wake up and see seedlings this morning!!
Can someone explain to me why don’t they just schedule me later if they genuinely are asking me every single day to work an 8 hour shift. I’m tired of being asked to extend and being treated like a lazy employee when I say NO.
I know a lot of people want hours and I’m trying not to sound ungrateful. I just work part time and I’m only ever scheduled for 5 1/2 hours. Out of guilt I say sure I’ll stay an extra hour. But they make me feel bad for not working the full shift like everybody else in the back room!!!
I’m thinking about complaining to my store manager about this? It feels inappropriate to make me feel singled out for not staying as long as everybody else. Also, I keep getting told to hurry up, even though I’m on time, I’m productive, I have been there for 4 years in the back room
What would happen if people stopped extending the entire system would crash and burn because they know that those people are going to say yes, no matter what
Ben Elg Hrs??? And what does the balance mean? (Right column)
Proceed with fucking caution with prescription stimulants. I’m not a junkie, I take my meds as prescribed but nobody wants to talk about the mental dependency that is inevitable. And how you do not need to abuse stimulants in order to develop dependency. Nobody wants to talk about that. I’m completely dependent on prescription stimulants and last week, I took a day off for the first time in a year and I slept all day.
These pills make new users think they finally found the "missing piece" because having the time of your life while doing laundry or sending an email provides such euphoria. The euphoria is not function or productivity. It’s also not like a diabetic taking insulin. So many people are falling in love with a chemical high, literally go on any “ first time taking my meds” post. And it’s not even their fault. When the euphoria wears off and tolerance develops, you raise your dose. For some people like me that quiets the noise inside of their head. But now guess what I need to feel normal?
Mention this to any ADHD community and you will get “If you have ADHD, stimulants don't affect you the same way they affect 'normal' people” as if we are somehow immune to becoming addicted to stimulants. Just because we do not feel “wired” we are immune to the reality of the drug that causes dependency.
These are the hard questions I’m asking myself as I approach another year of being on the stuff. I was prescribed as a teen and I don’t know what I’m like without it. I’m going to call my doctor on Monday and lower my dose because I genuinely don’t think I can do it I don’t wanna go off them. I also start school soon, so that is another excuse I tell myself.
