    I have 3 projects at work, a project a home, plus chores, and a routine for feeding the animals and keeping the house clean, which I can’t adhere to, so lump them in as chores, and I have to talk with friends regularly about twice a week, assuming I’m not overwhelmed and sit in dead silence, and the projects at work overwhelm me, so the project at home suffers, which overwhelms me, so chores don’t get done, and that overwhelms me, and I talk to friends, but they can tell I’m overwhelmed and they ask me what’s wrong, which overwhelms me, so I sit in front of YouTube and get high.

    I just started on my meds a week ago. Here’s hoping.

        Strattera, actually! I’m on 18mg along with Lexapro. Been on it a week as well. Haven’t felt much different yet, tbh. Gonna give it some time.
