i keep making little mistakes at work because of my adhd, like forgetting and losing track of things, and even though i'm trying my best, it makes me feel so stupid and like everyone is probably annoyed at me for it.
Started feeling light-headed and nauseous around 9PM last night. Figured I just hadn't eaten enough so made a fish finger sandwich (so grown-up) but food didn't help. Didn't fall asleep until after 2AM. Woke-up feeling a bit better, made it into work but didn't even manage 20 mins working in the boiling hot microbiology lab before I had to run out mid-demonstration. Ate something and our first aider made me a cup of tea. When that didn't help she had me lie down on a beanbag on the floor of my office for an hour. At 11AM I had to call it and go home sick. 
And of course my boss wasn't answering his phone, so I had to report it directly to senior management. They sent someone up to see me without any notice and, yep, he confirmed I looked terrible. Told him I'd seen the first aider (who is a former NHS nurse) though so if he wants to speak to her and verify that he can.
Should have got a taxi back the walk destroyed me. Lying on the couch feeling sorry for myself now with a cup of tea, my favourite blanket, and a panther plushie my girlfriend bought me.

The GP who has been poking her nose in constantly about my bloods told me last week she would get her secretary to make another appointment for me for next week. Guess what? Still no appointment! I asked the receptionist and she spoke to me and said that the Doctor hadn't even put me on her list! Luckily, the receptionist was very helpful and managed to fit me in next week. I'm seriously, getting tired of her meddling. Just let me deal with my bloods and Rhuematology myself! It's easier and not at all complicated!
Sometimes I have things deeply bother me with nobody I can really talk to about it, especially not to someone who could do something about it.
Also, there was a mouse in my room yesterday and I brought a cat who saw it but didn't do anything except stare in the direction it went, so it disappeared.
I woke up in the middle of the night possibly hearing the mouse again but I really wanted to go back to sleep. It's too quiet now, so I don't know where it is. I might have to get one of the younger cats to look for it next time though I don't trust them in my room very much.

Please don't click below if you've a history with eating disorders.
For the past week I've struggled with eating solid food. I do it, but it's a real challenge motivating myself to do so. And as a result I tend to give into cravings rather than eating properly. Dinner tonight was three slices of bread dipped in spicy srichicha mayo. I bought the ingredients to cook a healthy and filling meal on my way home but couldn't motivate myself to make it.
I've no history of disordered eating and this is very short-term in the grand scheme of things, so I don't think it's concerning, but it is bothering me. I've a doctor's appointment on Monday so I'll raise it then if still ongoing.
I'm a foodie. I love cooking and eating. This sucks.

almost made a very unwise financial decision today, but thankfully I was able to stop myself. sometimes I get into a fit of making impulse purchases, that's a big reason why I felt guilty buying that stuff for myself recently. I knew it would lead to this. the very brief dopamine boost I get from buying something I like isn't worth the stress of knowing that there was no reason I needed to spend my hard earned money on said thing.
also have to mention, it was two small plushies I wanted to buy, and they were really well made (Douglas brand) but they totaled to like $30??? lmao if I'd known they would be that expensive I wouldn't have even bought them in the first place. it caught me off guard so I went through with the purchase, but that immense feeling of guilt set in almost right away, and I had to go back to return them and get a refund. for my peace of mind. besides, if I want those plushies badly enough then I can get them secondhand on ebay/Mercari for way cheaper. better yet, I need to simply appreciate the plushies that I have.
but yeah, that situation could really apply to any instance where I spend money on something I don't need. I grew up in a family that constantly scrounged for money (bc my dad is **** with finances and refuses to let anyone help him with it), so it innately causes me pain when I have to spend any amount of money. plus I want to save as much as I can so I can move out someday, I really need to be extra mindful with my spending and saving.
I will say though, that I think recognizing this as a bad impulse purchase and taking steps to reverse it is a good step forward. I just can't believe the plushies were that expensive though, they were very cute.

My energy has just felt so drained the past few days. I've been trying to help it with hydration and whole grains, fruits and vegetables but I'm still struggling bad. My body's also feeling so stiff and achy, I could barely even move at work yesterday. I guess it's just my body getting used to it after being off a few days... I guess.
I've also been trying to design a path for my New Leaf town but I'm just not getting anything I like here. •~•

My bad if you didn't want a response to this, but something I like to do with impulse purchases that helps me is just waiting a week. If I want the item a whole seven days later, it may be worth it. Sometimes treating ourselves to something is good, but there's a time and place for it. It doesn't mean that you can't ever get an item, but maybe treat yourself to them when the situation is better.
I think the seven day thing works well because it can confirm whether or not you actually want the item and it's not just a temporary dopamine boost.

I’m trying to sleep, but I cannot fall asleep. In fact, I’ve been unable to sleep for over 48 hours.
I may have to see the doctor. I need a permanent cure for insomnia.

Have you tried any supplements? I've been using CBD* products for the past six months and my ability to fall and stay asleep has improved.
*Specifically ones that contain no THC (the psychoactive property in cannabis) so they aren't considered drugs.

I’m already taking anxiety medicines every night. But I haven’t been taking melatonin.
What I learned is that part of the reason why I couldn’t sleep is because my mind is still active. I was playing Animal Crossing a lot over the last few weeks. Even when it’s been a few hours since I last played, I was still too fixated on it. I’m thinking about not playing it for one day. Maybe that would help me get my sleep back.
How I'm choosing to deal with this:
I bought super plain nostalgic foods that my mum used to make me for me as a kid. 
I'm totally not mad that Iceland had no McCains potato smiles in stock nope.
Day three of light-headedness and nausea. Blegh. At least my boss was nice when I phoned him this morning.
my eq is like at an all time low this entire week. asides from replying to some quick chats, i have just not been in the right headspace to process heavier things and longer topics. im basically steamrolling through this week doing bare minimum work cuz god knows i need to rest so bad. i thought i'd be able to rest yesterday since it was a holiday but all i did was work lmao. im so tired lol im sorry to everyone who i havent replied properly to
also would appreciate if people didnt reply to this post cuz i'd feel bad not replying. really not feeling it rn. its ok im ok its nothing big i just needed to vent & let ppl know im not mentally available to chat lol
one more thing, im peeved at my partner coworker bc she's going to work tomorrow because she "feels bad not being able to help at work". we are excused from work tomorrow to attend this conference and she chooses to work. so now im obliged to go to work too cuz my seniors will judge me if i dont go lmaokcjbs this sucks why did i have to get paired with the energetic one

long distance relationships are so hard
So, my partner came home from work...
SO: "This is going to sound weird but I'm hungover."
Chris: "I thought you said you only had 2 drinks last night?"
SO: "Yes, one pint of beer and a rum and coke."
Chris: "And you're still feeling hungover now?"
SO: "Yeah, isn't that weird?"
Chris: "What are your symptoms?"
SO: "I've a headache, a bit lightheaded, felt sick to my stomach earlier..."
Chris: "Sounds like you're coming down with what I have."
SO: "Oh that would make so much more sense..."
Yay, two sick people in the house.
