Especially if there are multiple LTO or seasonal campaigns under one brand or product.

I have half a dozen LTO and seasonal campaigns I'd like to add to my portfolio, all for the same product (an energy drink), featuring web, email, sms, social and paid media. I'm so stuck on how to organize them, do I have a single overarching page for the product showing all campaigns? Or a portfolio page for each campaign? Do I show the full lifespan of the campaigns, launch, mid campaign reminders/awareness and last chance or cut down to launch or highlights only?

I can't find any inspo, I'm especially stuck on how to show emails, and I'd like to do so effectively since emails were the most important, revenue driving piece.

I'm feeling so rusty, I've been out of the game since January and need some visual material to inspire me. Every portfolio I'm finding tagged as art direction has been more on the branding side, really striking out over here. Any advice or inspo would be super appreciated.

I'm gonna poke a hole in my iPad screen one day I stg

TLDR: How did your relationship to dissociation evolve or change, if applicable, post ADHD diagnosis and stimulant medication?

God I've been going through it.

I believe I was in functional freeze for months last year, fully divorced from the emotional impact of the myriad experiences I was having that should have produced significant distress. I had stacking stressors that ran the gamut last year starting in April and continuing through this January, major illness of a loved one and anticipatory grief, significant financial strain as a result, family circumstances that repeatedly triggered core traumas, I moved, career changes and workload pressures, and a relationship that was highly triggering attachment wise.

I was seeing a therapist and psychiatrist during this time, and despite having a history of severe trauma and dissociation, I kept telling them both I was doing great, I said idk how but I'm just like, super resilient now I guess, their reaction was mostly, wow, you go girl 👍

Obviously that wasn't real.

In January I lose my job and insurance, 3 months pass and I meet back up with my therapist, everything I went through last year I see through a new lens.

First my therapist was dead set that I was bipolar, I don't think bipolar pops up at aged 37 but maybe I'm wrong. Then she says it's likely a strong period of depression, I'm telling her I think I'm struggling with dissociation, she says well being unable to process emotion is a hallmark symptom of depression. She suggests I either get more medication or maybe less medication.

I see my psychiatrist, my psychiatrist is like, yes it's depression. She does prescribe me another med (Abilify for DR/DP + I already take wellbutrin, pristiq and vyvanse). She suggests I take a break from vyvanse because it can increase the feeling of emotional detachment, she's like, 'Some people find when they stop taking it, they start to feel more like themselves.' I don't know how to even relate to that statement, I don't know what it feels like to "be myself", I've been a collection of mental illness symptoms my whole life. Surely this cannot be what it's like to "be myself."

Everything sucks so much worse when I don't take vyvanse, yes I am more emotional but it's reactive emotion because I'm overstimulated, irritable and frustrated I can't think or function. I think the internal chaos brings me even further away from being able to meaningfully process anything. My psychiatrist very much wants me to stop vyvanse for now since I'm not working and I'm worried because I cannot fathom having to deal with the full force of unmedicated ADHD on top of being stuck in freeze plus eventually I need to start applying for jobs, interviewing and then working, I only have so much time on unemployment.

I started vyvanse in February of last year and I was having appropriate reactions to stress until August during/after I moved, this is when I couldn't handle it anymore and in hindsight when the dissociation started.

Both my psych and therapist have pointed to vyvanse as exacerbating dissociation and it's my opinion that medicating the ADHD reduced overwhelm that I have a clearer picture of what's always been happening internally, it unmasked the dissociation. I have MDD and it's been relatively medicated for 2 years or so and I think that played a bigger role in how long I was able to stay in functional freeze last year cause in the past depression would become so strong and so debilitating I physically couldn't move. That's always been the force that pulled me down, it didn't happen this time around so I just kept going until life smacked me down.

I don't know. I'm just so frustrated.

If anyone can share your experience with your treatment of ADHD, ADHD co-morbidities like MDD and how those medications intersected with your dissociative disorder that would be so helpful to me. If it is vyvanse that's affecting me I'll pause with an open mind but I'm losing faith in the advice I'm getting.
