1:04

going to leave. Hi, everyone.

1:09

What's happening with you? Trace. Not whole

1:11

hell of a lot. Do

1:14

you feel like I had a very boring week? I'm

1:16

trying to think. Work is work. We

1:19

did kick asset named that tune this week. I

1:22

had my hair back Hairband round.

1:25

Nailed it. I mean.

1:28

I don't know if she nailed it, but she did better than

1:30

I would do. I mean, I missed

1:32

one and then had two bands

1:34

wrong. We were only

1:36

didn't have. One

1:38

and a half points out of that round. I

1:41

feel like. Two points we missed. Okay. Well,

1:43

That's four. We got RA. No,

1:46

we got one song title.

1:49

Three artists. Well, that's still

1:51

bad. How much

1:53

did you tribute? That's what I said,

1:56

but I didn't walk around saying I was going to nail it

1:58

or kick ass. I mean, I did

2:00

for doing nailing around. All around

2:02

by myself. Nailing, it would have been a higher percent.

2:05

you know, even the last time I got

2:07

only one song, actually

2:09

I got the artists, right. I missed a half a point

2:11

with the song. Yeah, That's what I'm saying. That's kicking

2:13

ass. all. All right, Fine. If you want

2:16

to, if you want. I kicked, but

2:18

I didn't kick ass. I

2:20

don't know about that, but whatever you did good. Did

2:23

good. That was the excitement

2:25

of my week. I did start.

2:27

The new love is. Okay.

2:29

I don't watch the shit outside. Oh, I know.

2:32

Anything about this, Season's going to have so

2:35

much drama. Can already

2:37

tell. Nice. Well, we also did start

2:39

the new season or another season, not a new season,

2:41

another season of love island, with. Yeah.

2:44

We're excited about. We only got like

2:46

two episodes in, though. I know we're going to have to work on. that.

2:49

We're going to have to start earlier. We were busy yesterday.

2:52

Yeah, we did a lot. We got a lot done, so yeah.

2:54

So well that's good. I have, there's a lot of drama for you.

2:57

So I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that

2:59

at the end of the season of love island, there's at least

3:01

one couple that's still together. I know it would

3:03

be nice. Any couples

3:05

have stayed together. I'm going to hold my breath,

3:07

I'm going to, I'm going to hope. And

3:09

I looked up there's like five or six seasons,

3:12

but I can't figure out where they are. So

3:15

we're on. Three and that's

3:17

on Hulu. but. I don't know where the rest of

3:19

them live. Well, we have like 400 episodes

3:21

of this season, so will. we'll

3:23

find it. by the next Very good point. And

3:25

we won't be watching next weekend.

3:28

Because next weekend is party

3:37

3:39

3:43

3:46

4:02

what it will be a good time. And

4:04

we kicked off the fall craft

4:06

fair season today. We

4:09

to the good fall, fast Downingtown,

4:11

fall Fest today. Love it. spent

4:13

a lot of money. Had

4:16

not expected to do that. I did not

4:18

spend a lot of money, but I did find somebody to

4:20

make something that I've been wanting for a long time.

4:22

So I am super excited about that. That

4:24

was very exciting. I do love walking around. It was a perfect

4:26

fall day. The vendors were

4:28

really good and it was just nice

4:30

to be out and about. Yeah. I

4:33

agree. I love this. This is perfect

4:35

time to now. Hello. craft First season. And so hopefully

4:37

there'll be a few coming up. Oh, I'm

4:39

sure we just have to look them up. We

4:42

got to do a little research. I'm

4:44

sure. We'll find a whole bunch. Of course. We'll we have

4:47

we have to find out when the

4:49

big one is that we like to go to Bishop Shanahan.

4:51

Oh, yes. That's usually, I want

4:53

to say like the first weekend in December.

4:55

Yes. Hopefully the people that are listening,

4:57

now, we're talking about and they go to their own craft

4:59

fairs and vendor events. And shop

5:02

with the locals. Because I said the shop

5:04

small shop with the local people.

5:06

Yep. Which changes it a lot of today, I

5:08

did. I did. I supported small businesses

5:11

today. Chapter. Do what I can do

5:13

to, I took over for you normally, you're the one spending

5:15

money today. I was like, I'll take that. I'll take that.

5:18

I I didn't even fight it wasn't that I didn't find

5:20

anything, but. I had just bought

5:22

a couple of things from. Certain

5:24

places. So I need to,

5:26

I'm going to have to post a picture of my

5:28

new magnet. And stick. Yeah.

5:32

So that was probably my favorite purchase.

5:34

Yes. So, I guess. When

5:37

I'm not going to tell you what it says. So

5:40

in our Facebook group. Good

5:43

reason to join. Yeah. Absolutely.

5:45

That was

5:47

your week. I mean, it was good.

5:50

I I don't think I shopped on Timo.

5:52

I'm getting all my team new packages in, but I don't

5:54

think I shopped on it. No. You said

5:56

you were going to cause you were bored one day, but I

5:58

didn't. I think you withheld. I did.

6:01

I did. Now I did today. I think

6:03

today, maybe I, I got credit back

6:05

for something. I returned. Sweater.

6:07

So I, so I swapped, so I really.

6:11

And then I also, I found a couple

6:13

of things. I shadow pallets on

6:15

clash, mark that I had to have. So

6:17

my sock is getting pretty big, but I also sold

6:19

a bunch and I do. I'm still

6:21

for those that, remember when I was practicing

6:24

getting my eyeshadow, you know, working on my ass.

6:26

I still put it on every single day. So

6:29

every morning before work, I do, I don't think I've

6:31

missed a day and now you have a good reason

6:33

to put it on people actually skew. Yes,

6:36

it's so nice. I would've done it anyway,

6:38

but now people do see me. And I put it on every

6:40

day, so I haven't missed a day. So I keep practicing

6:42

trying new techniques. And so there's a good reason I

6:44

have all of the different color I can.

6:47

Change it up. And my day.

6:49

have to teach me because I don't have the patience

6:52

to watch all the tutorials and

6:54

I still have a whole bunch of eye shadow. Super

6:56

easy. It's getting easier. So

6:59

we'll see. All right. So that's that?

7:01

So that's my shopping. Friday.

7:03

I actually I'm supposed to see my psychiatrist.

7:06

She, well, she's not, she's a. Nurse

7:08

practitioner. And she's the nurse practitioner. But

7:11

anyway, I call her my psychiatrist because it is. That's

7:13

basically what she is. She prescribed her medicine.

7:16

So what in, and I'm

7:18

on Abilify and Cymbalta and they're

7:20

doing fabulous. Yay.

7:22

Really great. And now what she added

7:25

in was she's putting me back on

7:27

Welbutrin you did LA. I

7:29

did. I thought it was great. So the, before

7:31

I was taking it for anxiety. And

7:34

whatever. But I'm

7:36

kind of diagnosed within

7:38

like a bunch of different things. Like there might

7:40

be a little bit of she's

7:42

not, I don't really fit quite into

7:44

like a category, so it's kind

7:46

of looking at bipolar one.

7:49

Obviously depression generally, or what

7:51

is it? General anxiety disorder.

7:53

I have that too, but. Oh It's the

7:56

depression. Disorder. I

7:59

forget what comes before it. And then

8:01

yeah. Major depressive disorder. So

8:04

anyway, so, so in between that, and then

8:06

also trying to figure out, because one of my biggest

8:08

issues is focus. I cannot

8:10

focus And I used to love to read. I could

8:12

read book. After book and every book. And

8:14

now I can't read a few sentences before I'm just

8:17

like off or I have to reread again. Watch.

8:19

TV's a struggle. And so that kind

8:21

of, so then we were taking a look at. ADHD

8:25

because that, that sometimes presents itself

8:27

as anxiety and depression. And so,

8:30

anyway all of these things. She's

8:32

trying to figure out, obviously what may have surprised. on. So

8:34

now we've added well, future back in, because

8:37

that's a medicine that they provide,

8:39

not only to treat. Anxiety

8:41

and depression. And if there's

8:44

like weight loss in there as well, but it's

8:46

for another medicine for ADHD.

8:48

So she put me on that to see if that helps

8:50

with the focus. So I just started taking

8:52

that on Friday. Okay. So

8:54

we'll see how that goes. She says she doesn't expect

8:56

to see any results until I bump up to

8:58

the next level. But just to get

9:00

me on and started. We did that.

9:02

So hopefully that helps because. I

9:05

focus it's terrible. And at work, one of my

9:08

jobs is to like, count we

9:10

count, the products. right? And sometimes they're like

9:12

these really tiny, like screws they're

9:14

real tiny. And like, and there's hundreds

9:16

of them sometimes like a thousand and I have to counsel them And

9:19

sometimes I'm really like. Counting over

9:21

and over again. I just lost my train of thought.

9:23

So I'm really hoping that the Welbutrin.

9:27

What she said, if it doesn't work and my focus

9:29

doesn't come back, then I'm going to have to go through

9:31

and take the ADHD. She'll

9:33

have to give me the ADHD test. Oh

9:36

to then put me on this other medication

9:39

that also is for that.

9:41

I have to have like a more formal diagnosis of.

9:45

All Or something like that. So so

9:47

we'll see how this goes. So that's, so that was on

9:49

Friday, so I don't there's no. I don't have

9:51

any results. We're just on Sunday

9:53

here. Recording. So that's what's

9:55

going on with me and I have to see her every,

9:57

I see her every six weeks. So I have to see her in

9:59

six weeks Okay. and see how that's going.

10:02

And. Well, it's progressing. So I'm excited because I, the

10:04

other medicines are really working well. Everything's coming

10:06

together. Pretty

10:08

happy about that. Well, it's funny because

10:11

my not my psychiatrist, my

10:13

therapist too many issues. I

10:17

mean, she's known me now for.

10:21

I would say. At least three years, I've

10:23

been seeing her. So she knows me

10:25

really well. And we were talking adult

10:27

onset ADHD, which is apparently

10:29

pretty common. And I was telling

10:31

her some things and she's like, have you ever looked

10:34

into it? And I said

10:36

no, because. In my mind.

10:39

Like yes, the focus piece, but I

10:41

always think ADHD the hyperactive

10:43

piece. And that is clearly not me. And

10:46

she was like, but I think you need to focus

10:48

on the inattention piece. And

10:50

like you said, the fact that sometimes it

10:52

presents itself as depression and anxiety.

10:54

She actually sent me this video to watch, which

10:56

was kind of funny because I want to say it was like a 15

10:59

minute video and I couldn't get. Video.

11:01

I had to stop. But

11:04

since I just changed my meds with my

11:06

psychiatrist, I was going to bring it up

11:08

to him. So,

11:11

because I don't want to go in.

11:13

Because I'm sure he doesn't appreciate when people are like.

11:15

Think I have this. I wanted

11:18

to do a little research to see,

11:20

you know, I didn't want to just say, Hey, I watched

11:22

this video. Blah, blah, blah.

11:25

So I actually looked up a little bit more

11:27

about ADHD. And

11:29

I learned, so there used to be a

11:31

D D, which was the attention

11:33

without the hyperactivity, but now

11:36

everything falls under ADHD.

11:38

So there's the three subtypes

11:40

we have primarily inattentive,

11:43

which is, I think. What I would fall

11:45

under. Primarily hyperactive,

11:48

impulsive. And then combined.

11:51

So each one you have to have at least

11:53

six of the symptoms. And then the combined,

11:56

you need to have 600 each interesting.

11:58

So I thought it was interesting. Yeah. I might have. to

12:00

do. I feel like I might have It

12:02

was 600 cats on secondary. Each because I,

12:05

the impulsiveness for me is John. And

12:08

she's also trying to treat that with the medications,

12:11

right. And so that might, well, hopefully

12:13

the Welbutrin will help with that. Yeah. We'll

12:16

do a little test. Towards the end. Okay.

12:18

We'll. see if you fall there. You can just

12:20

diagnose you and you don't have to take the test

12:23

with her. I don't even have to go to the doctor.

12:25

I'll tell you. But I thought it was

12:27

interesting because it led

12:29

me down a rabbit hole. I know that shocking.

12:32

I went down a rabbit hole of something. About

12:34

how it was once thought to be

12:36

only a male disorder, right. So

12:39

it left, like. Still

12:42

girls and women are very underdiagnosed.

12:45

Because they just see it as.

12:49

I think speed has it more of that hyperactivity,

12:51

right? Because you always see little boys running around

12:53

to being crazy. So they were always

12:56

first, not first to get it, but they

12:58

focused in on that. So I thought that was really

13:00

interesting. And women,

13:03

it gets thrown under the emotional

13:06

piece of depression and anxiety. So

13:08

now. I feel they're more open because, and

13:10

I think maybe more of a, because I've seen

13:13

so many more. Women over

13:15

40 being diagnosed with

13:17

ADHD, like in, like, I know that

13:19

somebody, I read this For me when I

13:21

started looking into it. I read

13:23

an article from somebody I follow on Facebook,

13:26

like a business code or somebody, and she was talking about

13:28

how she had it. And she was

13:30

listing the symptoms that she had

13:32

and I think it is confusing because the symptoms

13:34

could fall under everything, you know, other things, but then

13:36

I've noticed other people I follow habits are getting

13:38

diagnosed. Does they probably weren't diagnosed

13:40

when they were younger. Because it was always considered the

13:42

boy. So it's definitely, I definitely have seen

13:44

it out there. Yeah. And that's

13:47

what I mean, it hits so many different things.

13:49

So they say that the symptoms revolve

13:52

around executive dysfunction. So

13:54

that is managing focus, concentration,

13:57

emotional regulation, impulse control,

13:59

and self motivation. And

14:01

It's gotta be hard to be a psychiatrist

14:03

because I feel like so many of these things overlap.

14:06

Yeah. And then there's specific medicines

14:09

for each one. So how do you know

14:12

which wasn't going to go with. its. The

14:14

hard. I don't know. I don't want that. Yeah.

14:16

I don't know. I mean, I, yeah,

14:18

so far my psychiatrist, she's

14:20

doing a good job of managing the medicines

14:22

and kind of figuring out. You know,

14:25

where I was and, and I think for her,

14:27

she just, I know in our first

14:29

couple of meetings, she just asked a ton of questions.

14:31

And then when it's like, and then we'll dig down

14:33

a little deeper to see where, you know, where

14:35

she thought she would start. But that's

14:37

basically, I mean, Along

14:40

with her background. It was really more of what I

14:42

was saying. Right. Led her

14:45

to figure out what she was going to start with and

14:47

yeah. Fortunately, I think. It's been good.

14:49

Cause you know, my mood was the mood thing.

14:52

one of the biggest issue. And,

14:55

I was always just on a anti-depressant.

14:58

Now I'm on a mood stabilizer. And

15:00

an anti-depressant. So the mood stabilizers.

15:04

Really good. So,

15:06

yeah. But that's why she's struggling to figure

15:08

out. What else to add

15:11

in, and if I should go to the Welbutrin and

15:13

then there's different reasons why she, you know, I, she

15:15

wants to start there and yeah. So

15:18

That's crazy. It is crazy

15:20

out there. But, yeah, I remember my last

15:22

psychiatrist cause I have switched cause I wasn't

15:25

a huge fan. I don't think he was really

15:27

digging in where I do feel the new guy.

15:30

You know, he would just go right

15:32

to the, can you not sit still?

15:34

And then he was focusing more on the hyperactive

15:37

part. So that's why I was like, oh no, that's definitely

15:39

not me. But now I'm starting to lean

15:41

towards that inattentive. Yeah.

15:43

And Attentiveness the, knot. the, no,

15:46

the no focus. And

15:48

impulsiveness that's really what. And

15:51

And when I actually when I went

15:53

in and that's where she, you know, she asked if the other

15:55

stuff, because I guess the, you know, if my

15:57

mood is better and I'm not

15:59

as depressed, maybe that was part of the focus. But

16:01

because I go in and I'm still like, no, I

16:03

can't focus. That's why she's like, okay,

16:05

we're still going to lead and see if we can treat that.

16:08

I guess if there could have been. Like

16:11

those two other medications could have helped.

16:13

If it was, if it was just presenting itself

16:16

as depression. So

16:18

that makes sense. All right. You want to do a little

16:20

test? I do. I do. I love tests. Let's

16:22

see if you have combined. Okay. You ready?

16:25

I'm ready. Okay. Okay. So these are the inputs. Inattentive

16:28

type symptoms. All right. So

16:30

you have to keep count. I'm just going to read that. Okay. Okay.

16:33

You're prone to making errors because

16:35

of inattention. Yes. You

16:38

have trouble staying focused and on task?

16:40

Yes. You often

16:42

seem like you're not paying attention

16:44

when others talk, you zone out

16:46

or have what's known as the thousand

16:48

yard stare. Yes. You

16:51

can start projects easily and

16:53

ha but have trouble following through and completing

16:56

them. Yes. You have difficulty

16:59

organizing and setting priorities.

17:02

Yes. You dislike

17:05

or avoid boring or tedious

17:07

tasks? Yes. Hate them. See,

17:10

they have such as busy work chores or

17:12

paperwork. Sometimes.

17:16

I, well, I don't know that I prefer busy

17:19

work. I've sometimes I do prefer

17:21

monotonous work. So

17:23

I don't have to focus on it. Because

17:26

it's just something I can do without

17:28

even thinking. still hate

17:30

that. Yeah. I mean, I don't like it. If

17:32

I had to pick something that I needed to focus in

17:34

on versus just moving,

17:37

you know, one thing from another. I

17:40

will tend to choose that. You're

17:42

prone to losing misplacing

17:44

or forgetting things. Shit. I don't

17:47

remember what we're just, what are we talking about? You're

17:50

easily distracted by what's happening around

17:53

you or by your own thoughts. Yep. You

17:55

are forgetful or opposite minded

17:58

in your daily routine and may forget

18:00

appointments to pay your bills, et cetera.

18:02

A hundred percent. All right.

18:05

So that's those, did you have at least six? I

18:07

had nine of that. There was.

18:10

two nine.

18:13

909. You win. Okay.

18:17

Hyperactive impulsive type

18:19

symptoms. All right. You

18:21

fidget often. Mm,

18:25

I don't. Think so. So

18:27

my leg is constantly. Would

18:29

that count? Davy. Okay. See,

18:32

I always attributed that to anxiety. Okay.

18:35

You frequently need to stand up and walk

18:37

around? Yes. You often feel

18:39

restless. Yes. Your legs.

18:41

Yeah. You have trouble

18:43

staying quiet and you talk to yourself

18:46

and say nonsensical phrases

18:48

and sounds. Yes. On

18:50

sensical phrases. And sounds like what. This,

18:53

like, I'll just say random, like,

18:55

especially if I'm talking to my dog, I just say random thing.

18:58

Is that I do. We're like out loud or like

19:00

the lady at work will be like, what are you saying? I'm like, I don't

19:02

know. I'm just talking to myself like, I made no sense.

19:05

It Is what it is. You

19:07

are unusually active

19:09

and people have trouble keeping up with

19:11

you. No. You

19:14

find yourself talking excessively.

19:17

This can look like overexplaining

19:19

yourself or info dumping.

19:22

An informal term. For talking

19:24

at length about something you enjoy. Yes,

19:26

I can do that. You have conversational

19:30

self-restraint problems, you

19:32

frequently interrupt people or finish

19:34

their sentences? Yes, I do You

19:37

have trouble being patient and waiting your

19:39

turn. Yes. You

19:41

don't always understand social

19:43

boundaries. You may interrupt or

19:46

intrude on others without realizing

19:48

that others may find this behavior rude.

19:52

I might do it, but I know if I do it, it's rude.

19:54

So it was, I was saying. Saying

19:57

no. You Understand social Yeah. I

19:59

would say no. All right. How many did you have for that? Nice

20:02

right on target. Looking

20:04

at that. Okay, so

20:07

it looks like you can Def I, I will officially

20:09

diagnose you with combined ADHD.

20:12

Perfect. I will let my psychiatrists know.

20:14

Let her know that we did the test

20:17

and she doesn't need to do, and you're going to go do it again.

20:19

Just give. you on drugs. Well,

20:21

hopefully Welbutrin will solve some of this because she

20:23

really felt strongly about that. But

20:26

yeah, like I've looked at a bunch of different

20:28

ADHD or add or whatever you want

20:30

to call them. Ones that you can do from home.

20:33

And for the most part, they say

20:35

that I have some form of it. I

20:38

haven't. Quiet. Quote unquote failed it. We

20:42

pass every time with blind tellers. Honestly,

20:45

what really made sense or why. And I was

20:47

like, when I was really kind of sold on.

20:50

You know, finding it or, or trying to figure out

20:52

what was causing it. It was when I learned about

20:55

The impulsiveness and the impulse. The

20:57

Chopping and not being able to stop

20:59

between the bipolar one and eight. And

21:02

she's not sure on which one it is, but

21:04

that's what really sold me on like, maybe this it,

21:06

maybe if I'm not fully. You know, bipolar

21:09

then maybe it is the HD.

21:12

Yeah over One of them is causing it and

21:14

hopefully the medication will help it.

21:16

But that's when I was like, I think. Because I

21:18

feel like if it were the bipolar.

21:21

It would go in cycles. Right. Whereas

21:24

your shot. At code. So, you

21:26

know, actually it's really interesting. So if I'm like

21:29

super depressed, Like if I'm like

21:31

depressing I'm on the couch and We all shop. That's

21:33

the only opposite. It's like one of the only things

21:35

eating. well Shopping makes me feel better. So

21:37

when I'm in a good one, I'm in

21:39

a really good mood or I'm on that

21:42

I cycle. That's when I tend

21:44

to shop. But if I'm depressed and laying on

21:46

the couch or just like, don't feel like doing anything, then

21:48

I won't shop. I don't want to do, I literally don't want

21:50

to do. Anything. It's just, yeah,

21:52

it's just really what I'm like, if I'm super happy

21:55

and like, It's

21:57

really high. Just really like. So

22:00

it's hard to figure out. I know that's

22:02

the whole thing. So that's

22:05

what we're working on, figuring out. it It

22:07

would be really great if. Welbutrin

22:09

works and then I don't. And then I can just keep

22:11

taking. Yeah. These three medicines. And

22:14

hopefully that stays for a while Cause.

22:16

how do you really nice to feel good for rather than.

22:19

You know, I mean, honestly, it's been, how long

22:21

has that? I You know, or month are we in or gone?

22:23

It's the middle of October. So

22:26

I don't know. When did I start seeing my psychiatrist?

22:28

So it's been at least three months, I think. I was going to say.

22:31

Maybe July. So if

22:33

I could go, if I go for like another three months

22:36

and I'm still feeling good, like I'll be excited

22:38

because this will be the longest

22:40

that I didn't cycle until. downward

22:42

kind of thing. So I'm really hoping

22:44

that we're on the right track. Yeah, it's not

22:47

easy to figure out. Like, I don't

22:49

know how they figure out when everything's crosses

22:51

over. It was cross over. and, You

22:53

know, especially if you have anything else going on, you're

22:55

taking any other medication for anything. You got to be careful

22:57

what medications you're taking. Interacts

22:59

with each other. Right. And even with,

23:02

you know, even with the medicines, you. know that

23:04

they put that. I have just to do with

23:06

like these three things that I have. Or

23:09

that she thinks I have like, they could cause.

23:11

You know, maybe you have too much serotonin or too much.

23:13

of this. even have to be careful. Within

23:16

the same classes. So two. Shit.

23:19

It was too much. And I love the

23:21

interactions. So. My

23:24

Lamictal. can

23:27

affect. Birth control. Which

23:30

I know. You know, So the.

23:33

Apparently at CVS, they don't put it in the system

23:35

that they've already discussed this with you. Oh,

23:37

So the first time I went, I was in the drive-thru.

23:40

And the guy checking me out, like something

23:43

must be on the computer. So he went and got

23:45

this. Pharmacist and she came over.

23:47

She was like So
