@see_the_sus There’s also a free support group out there. I forget what it’s called, but it helps.

@see_the_sus Sounds like you have it.

If you can’t access the mental health help you need, then start to treat yourself by accessing information. That’s what I did, and the behavior modification things I learned in those books have helped me far more than medication did.

Granted, if I could have taken Ritalin it would have made a difference (I read SO much faster on Ritalin and my anxiety goes away), but it gives me migraines.

Behavior modification works, though!!

@dauphin87 Ooohhhhh, that makes sense!

@Lindy I love this idea.

@dauphin87 Why? Popcorn is good, though, as long as it has butter and salt on it.

@see_the_sus I drank 5 cups of coffee in succession and fell asleep.

I also get anxiety when I have a big project to start, like crippling anxiety. I’ve learned to be kind to myself, and schedule some “freak out” time, as much as I can remember. Being around other people helps a lot, especially if they’re dealing with a similar, or the same, project.

@see_the_sus You can diagnose yourself. There’s no blood test or anything! Start with the book “Driven to Distraction” by Dr. Hallowell (sp?), then go from there. There are some good newer books out about it.

I think a telltale physical sign is that stimulants calm us down, like coffee. One time, in high school, I took a caffeine pill to try to stay up all night to write a paper, and it put me right to sleep, head on the table. Another time, school related and many years later…

@JGSchaeffer 😍😍😍😍 This would be my happy place too!

I am so excited to sleep in tomorrow!!!

What this means is that early in the morning some landscaper will blow a leaf blower under my window, or “the doofus” (a grown man idiot neighbor) will play his “jams”, or some religious nuts will knock on the door, etc.

A girl can dream. 😩

I’m so tired and sore.

@Jorro I was hoping something good would go to California over this.

@see_the_sus You have ADHD, don’t you 😂😂😂😂 I’ve lost count how many times I’ve done this very thing (I have it).

@Jorro Awesome!!

@scottperk68 Welcome!!

@nopuppet_007 I am guilty of doing this 😬

@SteppinRazor My new #1 is the new Elvis movie, believe it or not. Everything about it is amazing.

My most favorite before this came around is Real Genius, a B movie classic. Best ending EVER. This movie does weird in the best possible way.

@RobCrax1 @SteppinRazor I love that movie!!

@feloneouscat Not one thing. 🤬

Lost my ICING mojo, not my jam mojo 😬

I need sleep.

This is the Swiss rum buttercream icing I made today for our coconut cakes. I’ve lost my jam mojo, but I got this batch to work well enough. You have to be looking for the flaw to notice it. Once I get my mojo back, I’ll have to never go long periods of time again without making it! It’s so finicky!!
