Oof, I know how you feel! Our delivery person is an absolute joke. One time I ordered something online (a one of a kind thing too) and it got lost at some point between the post office near me and my mailbox. Took 2 months for them to figure out what happened to the package and finally deliver it properly.
And more recently, an Amazon delivery person dropped off a Christmas package, not at the door, but at the very front of our property (mind you, my house is on a back lot and a corner of the property reaches to the road I live on). Guy just tossed it into the dry brush, out in the open for everyone who drove by to see, and considered it a job well done. My mom was so livid once she found out what they did

It's like they do it on purpose. Especially with big packages and on holiday season.
This time I had two tall boxes, almost as tall as I am. And I found the delivery person in front of the city hall where he was looking at these live sheep we have in a manger scene...

That being said, do you magi peeps want some potato chips? I still have 39 bags left...

I absolutely hate Amazon's new delivery service. At our building, all legit companies (USPS, UPS, FedEx) have access to the building and can leave packages. Amazon keeps refusing to deliver because we can't let them in. BF and I are both gone all day so we can't let them in with our buzzer. I've tried to make it so they just leave it, but this last time they refused saying they couldn't find a safe location. Next day they end up delivering it inside the building to the package drop off place. No idea why they couldn't do that the first day...

Ughhh I’m so frustrated. I dont know if I have ADD or not. For this type of thing, I should really visit a psychiatrist, but I do not want to at all. Not to mention I don’t have the money for it...

If I do have ADD, it would explain so much - why I struggle to focus all the time. Why I have to fidget incessantly. Why school has always been miserable for me and I feel like I never learned anything. Why I literally cannot finish large projects, no matter how desperately I wish I could, and no matter how much I apply myself in the ways people tell me to.

I’ve been told that I can’t possibly have ADD because I can sit at the computer for hours on end, doing the same thing, as long as that thing catches my interest. But then I learned that that’s a myth - people with ADD can actually be laser-focused on things sometimes, as long as it catches their interest.

The thing is, if I do suffer from ADD, then that means I’d also be suffering anxieties at the same time, which makes some of my symptoms a bit confusing and conflicting. Like... what I read said that people with ADD are generally always trying to get out of the house and find lots of things to do. I don’t. I wish with all my heart that I could get out of the house more often and do lots of things (I want to travel the world!), but my anxiety prevents me from that. I’m too terrified of everything. I’ve also read that people with ADD constantly interrupt people and are bad listeners. Although I do struggle to listen sometimes, I hate myself when I interrupt people and talk too much, and I’ve learned that talking a lot makes me feel embarrassed and regretful. So I shut up around strangers and barely ever say a word unless I’m asked. (Although I tend to be slightly more open on the internet lol)

Basically I’m torn. I don’t like self-diagnosing, because then it’s so easy to get things wrong and give yourself all kinds of problems, but I’m also too afraid/too broke to see a psychiatrist... and I kinda feel like a ton of the symptoms of ADD fit me perfectly and explain so well why I can’t do certain things that I’ve always wondered why I can’t do.

When I was diagnosed, I really didn't have basic inattentive symptoms. I mostly struggle with getting myself motivated on tasks and will put them off until the last minute or just won't do them at all. Now that I realize I have ADD, a lot of the things I do make sense to me.

Also, my therapist was saying that if they put me on meds, it would be very easy to tell whether I was ADD or not. People who aren't ADD will be off the wall with the meds, but if they are needed they will help with focus. When I first started with Adderall, I would be so hyperfocused on the task at hand that I wouldn't stop until I got hungry (which wasn't until about 4pm since it really suppressed my appetite). Vyvanse was what worked great for me. I was able to function again and feel happy and not be constantly distracted by thoughts and feelings. Sadly, my insurance won't pay for it.

But it's work checking out if it is bothering you. I went through all of my school years without a diagnosis. I was a "smart" kid. I was in higher level classes, I did my work, I paid attention. But looking back I was always fidgeting with something. My notes from then are covered in doodles and scribbles. I had a hard time staying organized the way I wanted to. Maybe seeing a psychiatrist will put you at ease? I even had my first psychiatrist not diagnose me at all with ADD, but my second one diagnosed me immediately. It just helped to finally have that suspicion confirmed. My dad spent so much time telling me I didn't want that label, but it was better to know what was going on and be able to get help than to be afraid of being that kid.

And if you want to talk more about it, my inbox is always open.

I am very happy that my meds had an immediate affect on the withdrawal symptoms. My mind is so much quieter today and the world doesn't feel like its spinning around me anymore. I feel a lot more grounded and way less tense. Although I did tense myself up so much the past week that my knots in my shoulder are huge.

Can't remember if they come up randomly - but best I remember I got them all by alternating which paths I took doing the quest.

I got fired yesterday.

This is the first time I've ever been fired from a job. I'm nervous about finding a job before my rent is due, but I'm mostly just embarrassed. :/

Wish me luck guys.

I almost got fired once because my boss thought I was lying about being sick... Good luck on finding a new job. Hopefully you can still at least find a temporary one. What job were you doing before?
