laceylaplante so similar. I tried antidepressants for two years in place of the concerta, and it was literally the worst two years of my life. They didn't help anything, just caused other symptoms, which they'd then just prescribe something to help that, etc. it was awful. So now I just have anti anxiety meds and trudge on. I hate my life. It's that simple. Honestly, I can't imagine if Dh didn't have it too. I always say it when ADHD threads co e u here, but I cannot imagine being married to someone with it if I didn't have it myself. It's so challenging, but we get each other. We try to just do our best to compensate for each other. I hope you get adderral soon. It's so life changing to be treated properly. I miss it It's like I got a taste of "normal life", so I know what I'm missing now. Before my dx and before the years I spent on concerta, I knew something was off, but had no idea how truly good I could feel. Good luck
I caught whatever Alex had last week. I am so sick. No stomach issues, just exhaustion, sore throat, cough, nausea, headache. I wanna sleep all day. I'M making myself some chicken soup, I know everyone will complain about the dinner but whatever, I want soup.
David is home sick today. He finally puked last night and was able to sleep. He's better today but his fever keeps coming back. This is the first time he's been sick this fall, which is kind of amazing. He also has to stay home tomorrow because of the fever rule. Sigh.
I've spent so much money on Christmas presents this year. I've totally blown the budget!
We leave for CA a week from tomorrow! I swear this month has flown by. I'm so excited, I cannot wait to spend Christmas with my sister.

DD2 started screaming in a panic last night shortly after going to bed -- she had a gushing bloody nose, all down the front of her pjs, spattered on her comforter, etc.
It stopped in short order, she's fine, but God, it's such a heart-stopper to walk into your kid's room and see them all bloody. Sheesh. And there was quite a bit of mess to clean up.
Thank God for oxyclean. We got her taken care of and re-settled, and I started scrubbing and soaking, and all the blood appears to have come out perfectly from the clothes and bedding. I was worried about her quilt, because the blood was on a white section of the fabric and that sucker was from PBK, but damn if it didn't.
I'm pretty sure I just flunked out of college. I really just want to cry. I didn't realize I was so close, I guess. If I look at my online transcript, it says "in good standing" for the past 3 semesters, even though I struggled with some. (The previous ones before these 3 are all dean's list). I got 1 warning, last year, for falling below 2.0 but I pulled it up and got those dean's list ones.
And now it says academic dismissal. I looked at the handbook and it says it goes warning, probation, dismissal. Don't they have to inform you that you are on probation? I didn't know. nothing said probation anywhere.

Is there a counselor you can talk to? How was this last semester? If you have shown real effort and they haven't made it clear what is happening, I think you stand a chance at appealing this.
I emailed my counselor today. I had passed the last few classes but not the other. (like I passed 1 out of 2 classes the last 2 semesters) I take 2 at a time and just with starting work and things with our marriage, I just slipped. But they still said "in good standing". This semester I passed both classes, barely, but I passed.
I also have 21 credits I could try to transfer over, but I don't know if it would save me. I also asked the counselor about that as well.
I just never got any warnings since winter 2013, where I got a warning and brought it up. I haven't heard a peep. So I'm wondering where this probation came into play and if I truly ever got one.
