I am so tired of being the subject of my coworker’s ire. I’m this close to breaking point and I’m seriously thinking about not reapplying in April. I’ve been working five days a week since September and not had a real break and if she thinks I fuck up then maybe SHE should see how the work piles up when I don’t do it.

Bleh. Coworkers like that suck. I'm sorry you have to deal with that, OP!

I talked to one of my supervisors about it and they suggested I take a couple of days reprieve but I’m not sure. In any case they know about her reactions and stuff now

Oh, that's good. Hey, why not take a couple days, if they're on offer? Treat yourself. :D

I'm glad the supervisor is paying attention and taking it seriously.

I’m taking the day off but I was told they’re rebanding the job to a level 3 instead of the level 2 it is now. I’m starting to wonder if I should’ve just quietly plodded along in my suffering.

I dunno anything about levels and such, but I'm glad you're taking a day.
And I hope things settle down there and you can just do your work without issues and hassles and stupid coworkers.
Be well!!

I'm gonna have to deal with a coworker during the week, and am dreading it already. I work nights because the post has no coworkers on it, but they've scheduled me for a week of training someone new for the alternating nightshift. Can't the outgoing person on there train them? Why do I have to do it? I hate dealing with people, I like being left alone to get on with it with no annoying small talk.

Yet another round of "America's healthcare sucks." My dad needs a nursing home. But my parents only have Medicare. They don't qualify for Medicaid in Texas because we stupidly didn't expand. And Medicare doesn't pay for nursing homes.

The whole thing is a headache and a half, trying to find a place they can afford and will take care of him.

I'm 5.5 weeks into taking this bullshit fucking medication the sketchy psych doctor prescribed me because he apparently doesn't believe women can have ADHD*, and it's basically counteracting the help I was previously deriving from my Modafinil prescription. I'm currently so unmotivated I can barely feed myself, and I'm struggling to conceptualize the steps I would need to take to do anything more complicated than like, laundry, at the most. I'm going to taper off of it at six weeks, I think. I should probably keep taking it until I have a follow up with this asshat, but I don't believe he's going to help me no matter what I do, so I'm not sure it's worth spending another two or three weeks doing nothing, thinking in intangible useless circles, and wanting to cry when I think about having to figure out dinner.

*This is unfounded. He IS full of shit, and the vast majority of the many scathing reviews for him online are from women, who he has a tendency to dismiss and condescend to out of hand, so I kind of suspect he's an old-school asshat who thinks psychology was right all along about ADHD being a boy's condition and that women are only getting diagnosed now because it's fucking trendy or whatever. But I can't prove that. I'm just furious, that's all. I mean, he prescribed me a med that's indicated for seizures and mania, neither of which I remotely have. It's not prescribed for anything I'm diagnosed with, and even its off-label uses barely mention ADHD. And the internet is full of other people--mostly women--telling the exact same story: they don't have any of the conditions this drug is prescribed for, but it was the only drug he was open to prescribing.

i would be trying my hardest to get a new doctor if at all possible

I plan to try. Unfortunately I'm going to have to prepare for a very long wait. My father asked for a referral to an ADHD doctor last March, and was given an appointment for October 2023 (as in eighteen months from when he got the referral). His doctor was able to get the appointment moved up to January, so he only ended up waiting eleven months. (He's diagnosed now.)

I can pay for an ADHD assessment and get it much quicker, but people on the ADHD reddit sub for my geographical area are saying that many doctors are refusing to fill prescriptions based on diagnoses gotten via paid assessment.

So I'm definitely going to ask for another referral to get a second opinion. But I'm anticipating it'll be this time next year before I actually get to do the assessment. :/ Hence why I haven't completely burnt the bridge with my current psych doctor even though I basically think he's a POS.

Is it possible you could find some telehealth doctors from https://www.psychologytoday.com/us ? I had to find a doctor online because I live in rural nowhere.

Sorry you had to deal with that.

For myself, I'm torn between being glad I can forget how much it sucks when my body decides to just randomly be in pain when it's not currently happening, and being blindsided by how much it sucks to remember that oh yeah my body hates me when it does.

Especially when I have stuff to do. Stuff=laundry to lug to the laundromat, trash to put out, groceries to buy, and I need a shower. At least I made a pot of soup before my joints and muscles started screaming FUCK YOU in chorus, and I took two ibuprofen before the headache that comes along for the joint pain could kick in.

Ugh. Can't stand people like that.

Adding on to work complaints, not only did I not get my time off request approved, it wasn't even acknowledged AND my supervisor decided to add a mandatory meeting first thing in the morning on that exact day (two days' warning, sure, if you ignore all the work already on my plate). It'll involve higher ups and I assume they will have lots of questions I'm not prepared to answer and won't have the energy to. I haven't had a real weekend off this month since a prior engagement had me going out of town. I needed that day off to recover, not get grilled for fucking shit. Wish me luck I guess.

Update: well, something even wilder happened at the company level and now all the focus is on that. I'm a mix of relieved and annoyed. Could've had that day off and didn't have to waste so much worry on it that it showed up in my dreams. On the other, now I can focus more on what to do.
