  • This is great advice, coming from someone who pondered using the “Mother was really sick and had to manage her illness and passing” excuse if I ever went back, as it was true for me too. (I’m sorry for your loss, it’s a really painful life transition, I know.)

    I ended up taking a slightly different approach. I worked in IT project management before I retired early. My LinkedIn resume shows me currently employed as an “IT consultant” and will until I decide I need another job or I kick it.







  • OP, this person knows what they’re talking about. One of the screening questions when I was diagnosed with ADHD had to do with clumsiness. My own parents used to call me, “An accident waiting for a place to happen.”

    I have slowly been able to improve my clumsiness a little bit, by exercising regularly with a trainer 5 days a week. One of those days is a balance-focused day and after 2.5 years I’m actually able to hold poses and (mostly) stay upright and steady. But it was SLOW going.

    The night before my 50th birthday, after I had been taking this class for 7 months, my husband and I were on a sunset cruise and his phone fell out of his pocket and over the side of the ship. I reached out with one hand and successfully caught it. THAT KIND OF THING NEVER HAPPENS TO ME!

    I celebrate that day every year as much as my birthday now. I managed to show off hand eye coordination before I was 50!

    Get screened… :)


  • I vape most evenings after 5pm. I have ADHD and comorbid depression and anxiety. The strains I like to vape keep me motivated and help me unwind, enjoy my evening, get things done around the house, and stretch/do yoga, or some gentle exercises before bed.

    I fall asleep easily each night after weed helps me get all that done. I dream just a little, and they’re often lost the minute I stand up.

    When I take a break, every few weeks or over vacations, it’s harder to go to sleep initially, but my dreams are a little more vivid when I do.

    My most vivid dreams occurred when I was taking Prozac, which wrecked my body in every other way, so I don’t associate dream intensity or recollection with overall health anymore. I’m physically and emotionally much healthier off Prozac, vaping weed most nights, than I ever was on the stuff.

    Edit: Seeing some usage discussion, I go through about 1/2 an ounce every 4-6 weeks vaping.
