Hello lovelies! I am looking for suggestion on self-care and productivity apps. I struggle A LOT with self-care and motivation to do basic activities of daily living. Does anyone have an app or suggestions on how to build healthy habits without feeling completely overwhelmed? Thanks

Yesterday I had a Walgreens pharmacist deny me access to my adhd medication, even though I have already filled it there before. He told me it was because of my anxiety medication and he told my psychiatrist it was because I have my medical marijuana card (which recreational is now legal in my state so it doesn’t even matter). Either way, it sent me into a really bad spiral because of former issues getting access to my medications and also because I have had extensive conversations with my providers about my medications and their risks vs benefits. I have never talked to this pharmacist before (it’s always one of two people) and so he just came out of nowhere and decided to block me from picking it up, even though it was already filled by another pharmacist and waiting for me to pick it up.
I emailed my psychiatrist and she called me today and told me that she reported him to the board of pharmacists and that my medication will be ready in an hour. She told me he sent her an email that made her very uncomfortable and that it would violate HIPPA to provide him the information he was demanding. She also told the pharmacist she reached today about it and that I have an entire care team who oversees my treatment and that interfering with my medication can send me into the emergency department because of my symptoms.
This was so validating because I have advocated for myself so hard for years without being heard, or being brushed off. My rights have been violated in the past and agencies have not been held accountable, even when I reported it. It feels so good to have a provider who helps me and advocates for me.

Lately there’s been so much going on. I recently went through a chronic illness, my old job didn’t treat me with respect after being there for 3+ years and being one of the most hard working employees but whatever I’m over that. I’m currently looking for a new job. There’s so many things going on in my head there always has been and lately it’s been so hard to focus on anything. But also my family has been playing a huge part in my overthinking and analyzing, all that stuff.

My oldest sister relies on me a lot for her mental health.. while I love being there for her and I love being supportive and showing her I care it can sometimes be too much for me to wrap around my head. I understand her pretty well, and I’m learning more about autism and how to help her, but sometimes I get overwhelmed when she vents/rants/ asks me for advice, usually it’s the same issue, she’ll be stuck on the same issue for awhile which again i completely understand I’ve been there. I just wish she would get therapy, I’ve offered to take her, since she doesn’t have a car yet or know how to drive. I’ve offered her affordable options, I told her she can do virtual, or go in person, or try to find one that’s nearby, I’ve given her resources as well, like websites to find help, and apps to help with your mental struggles. But i wish she would find a therapist, since I know it’ll help her a lot I’ve told her I’m in therapy, and that I love it. It feels like I’ve tried everything. And I know it’s a lot for my mom to deal with, especially since she relies on my parents a lot within good reasoning of course and I’m happy my parents can help meet her needs, but when it comes to emotional help. My parents aren’t exactly the best for that. My dad I love him with all my heart and he’s done so much for our family, and he has so many good traits but he just doesn’t own up to his own actions and he doesn’t take responsibility for his emotions and lashing out on my mom and on my sister. It’s a whole shitshow. This is only the top of the iceberg, and I’ve been trying to help my mom, my sisters, my nephew and niece and my dad. My family affected me a lot and gave me a lot of trauma and I’m still trying to heal and Im becoming the best version of myself everyday bc I’m constant working on myself. I just worry so much about my family and I wish I could just fix all of their problems, but it sucks because I can’t and I’m the glue of the family. And sometimes it’s just too much. 😔 and idk how to deal with it all. Im the youngest sister. Idk what to do. My dad is such a hard person to talk to, his emotions and controlling them are the biggest issue, and he’s so stubborn he always wants to blame it on my oldest sister for him lashing out and having anger issues….. :(

I'm freaked out. My friend wanted me to hang out today, and I delayed it until this evening, but I still don't want to go, but I don't want her to hate me if I cancel, and in my head I know she won't hate me but she'll be disappointed and that's even worse. I already bailed out of a different obligation, which was the excuse I gave her for not being able to come over as early. I am low on money, and my sister needs me to fly out and visit her because she's having a hard time, she wants to have kids but can't yet and she's depressed and I'm worried about her but I'm also depressed! I have a package coming that I'm super excited about, it was supposed to be here Friday but got delayed, and now the website is down so I can't track it or see when it gets here and that makes me more sad which is stupid I'm so focused on physical things. The only happy note is I finally broke my record, and am 78 days clean. #Selfharm #SelfharmRecovery #Depression #Anxiety #ADHD #ADHDInGirls

Keep in mind it crucial to remember that your challenges, whether they stem from ADHD, anxiety, or other aspects of your mental health journey, do not define your entire identity or your potential.

Each moment is just a snapshot, not the whole picture. You’ve made significant strides in recognizing, acknowledging, and managing these challenges, demonstrating resilience and growth. Your experiences and the support you’ve built around yourself showcase your strength and dedication to your well-being.

Your journey is marked by the courage to seek help, the determination to improve, and the willingness to support others. These qualities are a testament to your character and resilience, far beyond any moment of difficulty. No matter how small, each step you take is a victory worth celebrating.

Embrace self-compassion and recognize the progress you’ve made. You’re navigating a complex path with grace and perseverance, and that defines you much more than any challenge ever could.

What can you say to yourself to empower yourself and to help you foster self m-compassion and/or resilience? Like “I am doing the best I can with the resources I have right now, and that’s enough.” #ADHD #Anxiety #Depression #Addiction #MentalHealth #SubstanceRelatedDisorders #Neurodiv #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder #ADHDInGirls
