Like is it because culturally most of them are store bought? Or their preparation is based on the fact that there is a stay at home parent cooking all the time? It's just made ahead for the week? Because I love korean food, but it's a lot of cooking to have a few banchan on hand! And not a lot (if none) of these dishes can be frozen. The methodology must be very implicit for people eating this way culturally, but I just can't see to find a way not to be in the kitchen the entire afternoon if I want a full korean-inspire dinner with delicious banchan!
I'm sorry if this sound daft, I ask with the noblest intentions because I want to get better but wonder if there is a trick!

Salut! Je vais être dans la grande ville ce week-end et je me demandais si vous connaissiez des bonnes adresses de friperie et magasin d'article de seconde main spécialisé pour les enfants?!

Merci et bon long congé à vous!

Hi. 35f diagnosed AuDHD at 31.
For those who tried atomoxetine and decided it wasn't for you, what was it?

I'm one year on it and my symptoms are in fact worst than before starting it. Big mental fog, no train of though, hard time finding words or finishing sentences, heavy analysis paralysis, diving my focus in unimportant things and loosing time, inability to initiate anything, to make decisions, very meh mood all the time.... So I talk to my pharmacist to increase the dosage but they told me after a month at this new dosage, if I don't see any improvement, it would be better to switch med.

I have to say, at first, the first month or so, atomoxetine was great. I could focus, I had a little bit of drive to initiate task and switch when appropriate. My mood was more leveled, I wasn't always in reaction mode. But it didn't last. I'm starting to think it was perhaps the placebo of finally being medicated. Of course there is also major nausea and constipation at every dose change which is off-putting, but I could live with that as it seemed to subdue when dose stabilises, it's just that it does nothing. Not "it's effects are now soft and throughout and goes unnoticed", but "I can't think about the next word I need to communicate my idea because I'm trying to talk at the same time as going upstairs for the 5th time in a row because I keep forgetting what I need there".

I started super low at 15mg and I'm now at 60mg. I know the dosage could go up to 100mg, but the pharmacist wasn't very optimist it would change anything at this point if I was feeling as disorganised.

I'm super sensitive to drugs in general and think a very low dose stimulant (Vyvanse?) with an anxiolytic (Wellbutrin, Lexapro, Buspar?) might be my golden ticket because anxiety is my biggest comorbid symptom.

All that rambling just to establish context, but I wanted to know, if you tried atomoxetine and it didn't work out for you, what did you try next?

Thanks ✌️

For me it's shoes.
I went from wearing a 6.5/7 to a 7.5/8 after my pregnancy and it took me a little while to realise what was going on. Now I have to change allll my shoes because everything hurt badly and I feel like it's an impossible task. There is always something bugging me because I'm so sensitive, not only in how my feet feel in the shoe, but also to my image. It's like the vein diagram of my needs is a unicorn that doesn't exist. I'm stuck in analysis paralysis and it's worst because I need like 3-4 pairs for different needs - so many choices need to be made. And that 99% of all I will try on wont even fit. The toe box, the arch, the heel, the general space, the outsole flexibility: so many sensations and requirements to account for. Ugh. I wish I could just put on a croc and call it a day. Do neurotypical people struggle so much too to find shoes and clothes? I'm exhausted and my feet hurt so bad.
So what have been hard for you to find because of your ND disposition?
