It's rough, in trying to quit weed because it was making my add worse, but I get real lonely when I'm sober. I also recently lost my job and have no idea what to do now.

I'm sorry to hear about you losing your job. I hope you are able to figure something out. And I'm sending you all kinds of positive thoughts about quitting - I've done that myself, and it was hard as hell. You can do this!

Thank you. I really appreciate the kind words. It's been a struggle, and the loneliness makes it worse.

Loneliness makes everything worse for sure. How are you doing today?

I mean, it's alright. I just feel like I'm walking on eggshells and anythhing could send me spiraling. 😐

I was blown away by how much difference a long nature walk made to my ADHD symptoms. I spent 3 hours just meandering in the woods yesterday (not exercising, but walking around slowly and with a lot of curiosity and mindfulness). My mind felt calm like a still pond yesterday. And even today, I'm still feeling more "with it" but in a peaceful way. I forget how amazing nature it. Now I want to make nature time a regular part of my week. I'm excited!

Sounds overwhelming! May you find a tiny calm space in the middle of the madness.

Well, made an appointment to get tested, texted my sister and she replied I was diagnosed ADHD at 3. So 🍻

Going to still get tested to see if I have autism and get that ADHD diagnosis since the hospital doesn't have those records anymore. Cant really blame my parents for anything since my choices where medication or no medication.
