DID YOU KNOW that for some people- adderal makes them more tired?

I learned this today during my psychiatrist appointment- because I am one of those people.

Apparently it’s not normal to be yawning all day & desperate to go back to bed while on stimulant medication

#adhd #adhd problems #adderal xr #I miss vyvanse #but it’s too expensive on my new insurance #I fucking hate private insurance #im just an eepy girlie

Someone totaled my car today and I do not like being in insurance limbo

#i did all the stuff i was supposed to but im gonna call my insurance again tonorrow just to double check #i had a green light and someone left turned into me like super late #like idk how they thought they could make that turn #but my airbags all went off and my hood was a mess so i think my car is fully toast #siiiigh #:(#i dont want to have to buy a new car......#i just moved out too so dealing with this + rent + living expenses is not ideal #i wish ppl knew how to fucking drive and i still had my car.#im trying to be zen and cool about this and just go well getting mad wont solve the problem but like #if people paid attention while they were driving then i wouldnt be out a car having to use a sick day tomorrow #and i wouldnt have to probably spend more than what i get from insurance on whatever my new car will cost #and i wouldnt be having to deal with insurance and getting rides places and hopefully getting a rental car #so maybe i can be a little mad for a while and get upset for myself for once #i just roll over and accept everything all the time and while intentional apathy has gotten me this far #maybe i shouldnt cling to it forever

listing stuff for resale online and i'm just... so tired of taking pictures. cropping pictures. taking measurements. weighing out postage. finding boxes. writing descriptions. i'm so tired.

#i've been putting stuff up on mercari for like idk a year and a half ish now #started with mainly just stuff from the two book box subscriptions that i have if they aren't something i really want to read/keep #and then i started thinning out my bookshelves a little and listing those (standard edition) books #and now lately i've been putting up clothes that i've been decluttering from my closet #and those i've started cross-posting on poshmark too #and like i don't really have anything fancy other than some of the special editions from my book boxes #so i'm getting like two or three dollars for most of my sales #and it does add up. not to a lot. but. you know. better than nothing.#it's just... so tedious... for the two dollars...#buttttt also i've had several unexpected Big Expenses pop up #(tree damage from the tornado. hit and run car repairs. new insurance year so i haven't hit my out of pocket max for med expenses. etc.)#and it would be very nice to have a bit of extra cash coming in #like i'm okay overall #this isn't a dire situation by any means #i would just like to soften the blow a little ya know?#(and also complain on the internet while i'm doing that)

two tries on two separate days and i STILL can't get ahold of the new endocrinologist's new patient scheduling assistant argh. hopefully they actually call me back this time. on the bright side i did manage to get through to billing (despite their horrible phone tree and even more horrible connection, it sounded like they were speaking through a frayed wire) and get them to update my insurance information and actually bill my insurance for my recent telehealth visit bc there was no way in hell i was gonna pay their upfront unadjusted cost for a thirty minute zoom call with my pcp without them at least TRYING to ping my insurance first

#oh the wonders and joys of the american healthcare system #and i'm lucky bc i have reasonably decent coverage through my parents still too #but. boy i sure do have medical expenses...#anyway they never billed my insurance in the first place because they never updated to my new policy?#despite me entering it like. twice?? since then?#whatever . as long as they do it now #a telehealth visit SHOULD be covered. at least partially. i sure hope so bc i have to do another one next month #i understand being charged for the telehealth visit i really do. especially considering i got two referrals and two prescriptions out of it #but still. this is why i HAVE insurance...use it please #anyway now i'm hoping insurance will cough up a good portion of that billing statement #and that endocrinology will actually call me back and let me schedule a new patient visit.#because i am TIRED! of my old endocrinologist #they're not bad but i'm tired of every visit for three years hearing the same thing and seeing nothing change #and because they're in a different state from where i currently live it makes getting lab results back a right pain in the ass.#so i'd like to swap providers. and it'll be easier to manage if they're in the same system as my pcp which is what i'm trying to do...#i wanna talk about me

eye doctor was trying not to scare me today bc i have a sight threatening condition 🥲 it's probably treatable but i need to go to a specialist

#havent been to the eye doctor in six years but i was like okay i need to update my prescription my headaches are getting really bad #and my prescription barely changed so the doctor said it wasnt that #also this other condition doesn't cause headaches either so treating it wont even help :(#tho it does make me light sensitive which is a trigger ao maybe it will help a little i hope #but mostly i hope its treatable #also i have no health insurance so hopefully its not expensive lol #but at least the job search is going well so maybe i can handle the treatment myself #but since i will go blind if its untreated my parents will definitely cover it if i cant i just feel bad #they paid for my appt to get the new prescription today too but that wasn't very much i didn't even get the new glasses #but seeing a cornea specialist regularly to treat a scary condition is going to be expensive 😭#i dont even know how expensive yet tho #maybe i should make a gofundme or something #this has been a shitpost #im not 100% sure my parentsncan afford it if its expensive #probably depends how far its progressing and how fast andnwhat the cause is and a million other things #but i know it can be difficult and resist treatment 😰#and its not early for catching it at all

So, in the last 24 hours:

our bathroom light started flickering our dog started limping and spasming our freezer started over-freezing our refrigerator died we found out that the muffler on our single vehicle is shot

I hate it here.

really wish there was an easier way to take hormones..!

#i just switched from intramuscular to subq because i've run out of space in my thigh muscles so it's like a 50/50 chance i hit scar tissue #which hurts like a motherfucker #cause that's what 3 years of poorly administered self-injections does 🫠#so hopefully i'll have another 3 years or so of subq injections before i run into that problem again #but also i'm lowkey scared because subq has more instructions than intramuscular......like u have to pinch and do a 45 degree angle and shi #i'm sure i'll get used to it after a couple goes but im just not good with trying new things #id love to switch to gel but its sooooo much more expensive AND i think i'd hate the texture AND i would def forget too often #at least with a weekly shot its like oops i can just do it tomorrow #i think there are also pills you can take which would probably be my idea but from what ive heard they're less common and less effective #that may have changed since i started but that was my understanding at the time #but a pill would be so much fucking easier.#i know they do t-patches as well.......but i don't like things on my skin :((((#more or less the same reason why i dont think id like gel #like i get that there's no good option to taking a medication #but i just wish there were better options overall #dream scenario i can get insurance to cover gel eventually and i'll just. deal with the weird texture and the potentially forgetting #i have a huge fear of needles which i ve managed pretty well but im tired of having to hype myself up every week #itd be nice to have a reprieve

Kinda spooked at the moment loll

#government just announced it might order us back to work and label any continuing strike action by my union as illegal #worst of all worlds cause it means the exisiting contract gets extended AGAIN #thus removing any possibility of even the small gains the corp was willing to concede on #while also destroying any motivation for them to ever offer similiar concessions in the future #i was counting on that raise too my rent is abt to go up by 300 #i also FINALLY got to see a laser tech but it's so expensive on top of everything else already happening #it (along with my meds) would've been covered by insurance if we'd signed a new contract but fuck me i guess #anyways love to go back to work with a month long backlog the week before christmas. fuck all life

Pondering bottom surgery in the tags I mf guess

#I’ve been. thinking abt bottom surgery again after having accepted for a while that I would probably never get it #for context early on in my transition I was dead set on phallo but then T and my other surgeries satisfied me enough to not need it #+ for phallo I would have had to keep an arm or leg free of tattoos and I just did not want to wait on that #not considering it would probably be at least a decade. tattoos were and are more important #+ the more I started to enjoy using what I have I was like. it is simply not medically necessary anymore #like would I like to have a **** yes. do I need one to live a happy life no #being bi complicates things for me too bc it depends a little bit who I marry #don’t want to tailor my body to a specific relationship esp if it doesn’t last forever but it does make a difference #current partner is nonbinary and wants phallo so that does not make things simpler lol #I want a body that allows the most affirming possible relationship w the person I intend to marry #I also don’t want to end up hindering things w future partners should that not happen #anyway I say all this to say. I had never considered meta as an option bc I didn’t think it would do much for me #lot of effort and money and healing for not as drastic a change. wouldn’t solve my biggest bottom dysphoria issues #however. starting to think it could be the middle ground I’m looking for as a gnc/genderfluid person #it would be less surgeries. less complicated n expensive. less changes to my current anatomy #esp if I don’t do everything you Can do w meta. I could do like half of all that or less #I don’t wanna risk giving up the things I can do now without knowing if I’ll enjoy the new possibilities #but this could be a way to just kinda feel more affirmed without it changing my life all that much #I think just the act of undergoing bottom surgery would be affirming. like I’ve done Everything I’m a binary male thru and thru. transexual #and I wouldn’t have to keep wondering if I’ll do it someday or if I should #not that I can any time soon I’m uninsured. insurance prob wouldn’t even cover it #but just. the more I look into it and think abt it + the more serious my relationship gets the more I lean towards it #my partner talking increasingly abt wanting bottom surgery asap is influencing me too ngl not even in a jealousy way #just. I can’t deal w the possibility of a partners phallo fucking up my relationship w my body Again. I would need to know what I want #man. I can’t even go to therapy to talk thru it. on account of being uninsured #mine #txt #personal

haven't been able to cook something rlly good or eat my favorite foods in the way that I like them recently and it's doing horrors for my mental health. I would honestly settle for Kraft mac n cheese and dino nuggies rn (I don't like Kraft brand mac n cheese and much prefer homemade but that's ridiculously expensive and dino nuggies are fine I guess but I prefer something crisper like popcorn chicken or McDonald's nuggets)

#i want spaghetti and homemade meat sauce #i want lovingly made enchiladas #i want thick grilled burgers with crisp and bright lettuce #freshly fried wings in buffalo sauce #pulled pork sandwiches #hashbrowns and chicken fried steak and biscuits and gravy #freshly baked pineapple upside down cake #cheerios with frozen blueberries #bleu cheese and celery sticks #sharp and sweet coke with wet burritos and mexican rice and refried beans #tortilla chips and guac #hot fries that are almost soggy with grease and generously battered and fried fish #mashed potatoes and slowly braised beef with a thick gravy #cheese and carbs and meat and veg #im so. fucking. hungry.#and every time i look in the pantry or the fridge to cook something i can't come up with anything #we have no spices no pasta no cheese no nothing #cuz apparently even pepper is too fucking expensive #im gonna die #im gonna literally die #anyways would like to mention that this is all being caused by a new insurance that has been slowly draining every cent from this family #also my bones hurt im gonna scream and rip someone's face off and fucking eat it #even tho it sounds gross im just rlly mad

They should invent doctor's appointments that don't make you want to kill yourself

#Chronic illness #Chronic pain #Either the doctor is shit and gaslights you #Or it's a normal appointment until you find out insurance fucked you over in a new way #My favorite feeling is the one that I'm too expensive to live despite needing very basic treatment

Tw: negative

Wish you could like... sue your depressed for all the time and money it costs to take care of it and anything else that results from it.

I never wanted depression so why do I need to pay for the things that make me not want to off myself? (Pills/therapy/etc.)

For the rest of my life I'll need to pay for the things that are gonna keep me alive because of something I cannot control. I can't just tell my brain 'hey, work properly so we don't wanna fucking die'

If I hadn't been depressed in school I would've planned ahead, I would have been better than where I am today.

I never thought I'd get to 18 and I'm gonna be 26 in April. I don't blame past me because they weren't doing well. Unmedicated. I don't wanna go back to that. It was scary. Actively thinking it's easier to die is fucking terrifying.

Living is so fucking expensive.

#tw suicide mention #tw suicide idealization #paid $400 today to take care of cavities that formed because I don't care enough about myself to floss amd brush every day #and this was just the first appointment out of three.#having no insurance fucking sucks why did my dental and vision end before life insurance?#i only have another two months of that and most of the antidepressants i take are gonna be too expensive #i have to get a new therapist because they don't take the only insurance I'm gonna qualify for #ik i never thought I'd make it this far but fucking hell i never thought it would be this bad #so many bills and it all just doesn't seem worth it #can't get a job have to take care of my 101 grandma who is miserable and actively prays for death (which ya know is great for ME to hear/s)#dads got cancer moms the only one working shes gonna be 67 and wanted to retire YEARS ago but can't afford to #no car so even if i could get a job i couldn't get there #everything is about fucking money #and i know people have it worse but that doesn't make my situation any better #I'm just so done..#tw negative

he would be walking around like tf you mean people need to pay crazy money for healthcare that they REQUIRED to LIVE fuck being a vigilante to fix the city father you should’ve seen to this earlier you have near infinite money and if you still lack the means to pull through my mother- hell grandfather would lend a hand as soon as you show her the absolute atrocious state of this country’s medical industry

AND also that MOST medical professionals who’ve spent up to decades mastering their skillset will end up with an average 250k+ in student loan debts that will take OVER A DECADE TO PAY

Tired: The savage al Ghul family hates medicine and tending to injuries—even though canonically Ra's is the world's oldest physician, Talia is a former medical student, and Talia has been shown tending to Bruce's injuries and urging him to rest on multiple occasions (in fact, that was how they first met). Damian's wonderful white family needs to teach him to value medical care.

Wired: After being taught all his life that routine medical care is common sense, Damian Wayne al Ghul finds himself in the strange and backwards United States Of America where people are deprived of medical care because it is prohibitively expensive. Even people who can afford medical care may avoid preventative care for "little things" due to long waiting times, negligent medical practices, rampant sleep deprivation and substance abuse among medical professionals, leaks of private health data, and bigotry.

#he watched the news and some state bla bla just criminalized something ridiculous #purberty blockers or sth and flips it #im not even american but the stories shared to me just make me so mad #like my country’s health care is pretty shit but at least you’re not going into crippling debt so bad your family opt to kill themselves to #relieve you of it #but on the other hand my country’s public hospitals are pretty ehhh pretty nasty ngl but private hospitals arent too much more expensive #even without insurance #like simple prescriptions and procedures wont land you in hot waters

Next time I get new glasses lenses I'm going to tell them EXPLICITELY that I don't want any coating on my lenses.

No blue light filter, no UV filter, no anti-glare.

Nothing.

I just want to see colors properly, man :(

#my stuff #rambling #I'm still mildly ticked that my new pair has a blue light filter WHEN I TOLD THEM I DIDN'T WANT ONE #I'm probably going to barely wear them and I feel bad because my parents paid for them #(we have insurance but they're still expensive)#I've been wearing my “normal” pair still (even though the prescription is slightly too strong)#And even they have a noticeable difference in color despite only having anti-glare on them #(everything looks more dull/yellow btw)#(VERY noticeable when it comes to the sky)#I really wish glass lenses were still a “thing” (I know they're still made but the people at the optometrist were hesitant about them)#(due to how easy glass lenses can break)
