Hey guys! It has only been a few days since I last did a chatty GRWM but SO MUCH has happened in that short amount of time so I wanted to relax and talk with you guys today! How have you all been? Let me know! Love ya💖

[@dreamerjs]

Don't forget you need 2 rooms for all your backlog of subscription boxes! 🤣🤪 If you guys aren't sure on kids, pls don't let a Dr try and talk you into one saying the pregnancy helps with endometriosis etc. 20 yrs ago it happened to me. I stood up for myself and stood my ground saying we weren't planning on kids so 4 months after I turned 29 the Dr finally agreed to do a hysterectomy. Keep standing up for you! thank you for being so open! You are helping people more than you know! I was stage 3 so I can't imagine 4! Best of luck! Jeanne

[@maryelizabethmcgregor413]

Hey just a thought? This is you relaxing and talking with us ? Or is that the medication really working now . Have a watch back you seem very very different

[@AndiHesk]

I have been out for lunch today for the first time in over a year, it was a lovely afternoon and I am glad I did it regardless of the pain etc I will have for the next few days. And then I get to chill out and watch another Alexandria video, perfect. 😊😊

[@winterbeaches]

Great confirmation for all of us to advocate for ourselves at the doctor's office. I tend to have this 'oh, I don't want to be a bother' attitude that hasn't served me well. Actually, I don't think it helps others either. So happy little Tatter is doing well after the raisins. 🐾💙

[@jenniferdevinney541]

I'm so glad tater is okay! We once had a pup eat several bars of Hershey's chocolate and we called the emergency vet and they told us there's pretty much no amount of hersheys chocolate that will hurt a dog because those practically no cocoa in it which is disturbing all on a its own

[@PinkPaws88]

Only dark chocolate is harmful

[@deliasharpalyce]

fun fact (?), chocolate is toxic at about the same rates it is for humans as it is for dogs! the rule of thumb is 2 oz per pound of milk chocolate, 1 oz per pound of dark chocolate to get into trouble. it's just that uhhhh. we don't. we don't really eat 150 oz. of dark chocolate in one go. whereas a 12 pound dog can actually eat like 12 oz of dark chocolate, since that's an amount of chocolate you'd actually have and be able to buy. white chocolate tho is totally fair game, it only contains the cocoa butter and not the chocolate solids so eat as much as you want and feed your dog as much as you want LOL

[@rachelhansen2417]

It depends on the size of the dog too. I’ve got a 5lb pup who cannot get more than a handful of Hershey kisses without being in danger, but my childhood 67 lb dog was totally fine (aside from being a bit disoriented) after eating a massive larger-than-king-sized amount of chocolate.

[@sheelfjohnson]

Our Bassett hound ate an entire package of Grasshopper cookies and she was okay 😵‍💫. Not that I would recommend that! ☺️

[@jenniferp7497]

Hershey's is not chocolate. It shouldn't even be allowed to exist. 🤢

[@chelsey8737]

I am unbelievably invested in your house hunting drama. I'm so sorry about the family friend! also! Because of you, I've made a doctor appointment for the first time in over 4 years to discuss anxiety meds! I love that we encourage each other- we get you to pursue adhd meds and you directly influence us to keep up on doctors appointments. This is genuinely the best community I'm a part of and I appreciate you so much

[@pluckyspector]

[@jodietester2415]

I’m so happy I’m not the only one struggling. It sure feels like you’re alone in the world!! Especially when it comes to mental health

I've been on anxiety meds for around 5 years now and they have changed my life. I hope you can find ones that work as well for you!

[@kelliwillis417]

[@meganweber3125]

It is a good idea to listen to your gut, but in the middle of the grief of the loss of a family friend and the stress of Tater's raisin ingestion - I would caution rushing in too quickly to a new house. Just some unrequested advice :) lol

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

I'm so proud of you for advocating for yourself at the doctor! It can be really hard to do that, especially since your doctor doesn't seem like the most, shall we say, communicative person in the world😅 Before my husband passed, we would always go in to each other's appointments just to advocate for each other and make sure nothing got passed over or forgotten. If you have a hard time speaking up at the doctor, don't be afraid to bring someone you trust right into the exam room with you, it can really help!!

[@TheGingerNeko]

One thing to note is that both anxiety and depression are side effects of chronic ADHD. When you finally get treatment for the ADHD, it's like night and day.

[@teridoster5840]

I’m wondering if that’s my issue, I have ADD that I’ve never had treated with any sort of medication, but I have depression and severe anxiety as well. A great deal of my anxiety stems from my inability to complete things and procrastinate till the last possible second, I’m just too afraid of being looked at like a drug seeker if I ask to be treated, so I’ve just been spiraling for prob 2 decades. I also deal with fairly severe chronic pain, so I’m def a mess 😅

[@haleyb8285]

​@teridoster5840 did you ever get tested? I'm wondering if there's a test for add/adhd. I want to look into it for myself.

[@teridoster5840]

@@haleyb8285 yes, I had extensive testing with a psychiatrist many years ago and was diagnosed with ADD (I don’t have the majority of the hyperactivity symptoms)

[@haleyb8285]

[@boogiebear3095]

@@teridoster5840I was never diagnosed with ADD but I’ve dealt with anxiety and depression for three decades. Add to it is chronic pain. But man I procrastinate like crazy! Can’t focus on a lot of things on a good day.

[@crystalomic8064]

I relate so much with your ADHD medication story. Once I got on my medication last year, it felt life changing that I could actually DO things. I still find it so hard to believe that other people can just DO so easily when I need medication to get to that point. Happy for you advocating for yourself and hopefully the meds continue to work!

[@heyheyheatherk]

Same! I was diagnosed last year in my mid-30’s and the very first day my brain was just quiet. I had never experienced that before and am so sad I didn’t have this going through college as well. So much of my college experience I can now see was my undiagnosed ADHD.

[@marie-andreec5164]

Same! Diagnosis and treatment for my ADHD was life-changing. I was sad I had waited so long to get to that point but am so grateful that I finally got there and now I tell every woman I can. We are underdiagnosed and undertreated when we finally get a diagnosis.

[@rtre957]

Sure the methamphetamines help to do stuff easily!

[@marie-andreec5164]

@@rtre957 I wouldn't say easily, but yes, taking the correct medication sure does help, no matter what your condition is. Of course, if that's not something you support, that's fine, not everyone's the same. But for some of us, medication was and is a litteral life-saver. People can either judge me because I'm nearly non-functional and depressed about it or they can judge me because I use a medication that helps me focus, which lets me to thrive and be a fully functional person. The choice is not difficult for me to make, I'll take happiness and thriving every time.

[@kittykatmeowers3392]

In university my roommates' 60-pound lab ate an entire box, box and all, of Claritan. I had no car, so poison control talked me through inducing vomiting with a bottle of peroxide. It was awful, but he pulled through and roommate came home and we taxied to the emergency vet. Which luckily her parents covered with their credit card, because it was $$$$. It is so scarey, glad you got through it! Poor Tadder!

[@kelliwillis417]

Tator 🙂

[@kyoyameganebereznoff]

I was once watching some lovely, crazy beagles for a close family friend. I left my purse at the house while I went out to get dinner with my partner. I came back and I realized they had gotten into my bag (they had never done that before!) and they had pulled out my bag of cacao drink mix and eaten a quarter of it. Cue me having to call their mom with a terrible pit in my stomach and her walking me through the process of inducing vomiting with peroxide. Having to wrangle those wild and wriggly beagles resulted in me pulling a lot of muscles in my back and shoulders. My partner was an absolute saint throughout the whole experience even though he ended up staying there for hours longer than we had originally planned for after dinner. Everyone was okay in the end, but I will never forget it.

[@shae113]

I've had a couple dogs who ate chocolate, which wasn't fun! The worst was a 6 lb Chihuahua who ate 6 rising dinner rolls. We thought the tray was out of reach, but she figured out how to grab it. About 15 minutes after she ate them, we noticed she looked a bit bloated. Yeah, rising dough is REALLY bad for any dog, but for a tiny dog, yikes! We called our emergency vet and they had us induce vomiting with peroxide. That pup was so stubborn about throwing up (in general), that it took 30 minutes to get all of them out. I have no idea how she even fit them into her tummy in the first place. Thankfully, she was fine after, though we did have to do 2 weeks of a bland chicken/rice/broth diet until her stomach shrank back to normal size.

[@thequeenmac]

When i started ADHD treatment my anxiety insomnia went away. It was magic that surprised even my doctor! Its amazing what can be done when you arent constantly on 9.5. Good luck!!!

[@KiKianaKi]

So I can explain the pet poison control thing! I used to work at an animal ER. You are not just paying to speak to the poison control people. Once the poison control people speak to you, they come up with a detailed and unique treatment plan and communicate that to the vet staff. Then the poison control folks remain available to speak to your vet staff during the entire case to make recommendations in case something changes. Toxicity is so tricky and so specific and poison control are the experts.

[@hollybrooke322]

Shouldn’t vets know that info? I’ve never met a vet that doesn’t.

[@Sarah_Spang]

Poison control for people works the same, but doesn’t charge you for it. So why is it different for animals? Because they’re “disposable”?

[@Noon-jt7gi]

My vet clinic (UK) are the ones that call poison control, pay the fee and talk to the phone people 🤔 otherwise it can end up as a hesaid-shesaid thing. There’s a yearly membership and you get a big discount on repeat calls 😅 But they don’t call for common things like raisins and chocolate in normal healthy dogs. (Also my only phone call the poison lady was a bit - IDK. obscure medication is not in the book🤷‍♀️might be fine? Might not? )

[@summerlife123]

Human poison control is funded by the government. Pet Poison Helpline is a private company. The government doesn’t fund them.

[@lawyernyc01]

Vets aren’t necessarily toxicologists.

[@sternsr]

I love the mix of chatty videos and unboxing/pure chaos videos!!

[@deliasharpalyce]

as someone who also has done the anxiety-and-adhd thing - it is WILD how much the adhd med helped my anxiety. it's like having your thoughts degunked! it doesn't magically fix everything, but i found myself actually able to *do the coping strategies*. it's the difference between trying to use a computer around infinite pop-up advertisements, and actually having a computer mouse where you know you can just click the X on the corner to make them go away. TURNS OUT HAVING A FUNCTIONING BRAIN IS GOOD AND NICE ACTUALLY???

[@haleyb8285]

Question! Did you have a test for adhd? I'm looking into it for myself.

[@Another_Mom]

I thought you knew Jimmy!! Good for you advocating for yourself and getting your ADHD addressed! I have endometriosis, chocolate cysts, adhesions, blah blah blah blah …. I had a miracle baby after 8 years of trying. Never got pregnant after her. I enjoyed (& survived) all the things about being a girl mom! I wish I’d been able to give my girl a bunch of siblings but I think I was just meant to have 1. Now I’m ready for all the grandkids! ALL THAT TO SAY …. No matter what your family looks like, it’ll be perfect! Thank you for sharing all the fabulous happenings!!

[@dianaw4072]

😂😂 I don’t even think his name is actually Jimmy. I think that’s just what she calls him. 😂

[@muncgrl]

Happy Tator is ok. Glad you spoke up and told the Dr. what you wanted (needed) and are feeling better. Good luck with the house hunting.

[@Anna_Dawson]

In regard to tater shaking at the emergency vet; it can also be the smells. Because there’s other nervous, scared, or possible in pain animals… and dogs are really good at sensing that stuff. I had to take my dog to an emergency vet once (never been there before) and he was acting the same way; shaking and freaking out

[@hollywebster6844]

I'm so glad the ADHD medication is helping you! After several years of behavior management, dietary management and everything else we could think of, my son went on a low dose of Focalin. It was such a positive change for him and made his school life much, much more bearable. I hope you continue to have positive results.

[@anitamackeigan108]

You never actually met Jimmy!!! LMAO. As a social worker for child protection in Canada, I'm thrilled you would consider adoption ❤. I think you would be a fantastic mom. As a fellow ADHD survivor, Adderall has saved me. My symptoms are exactly the same as you, so I understand the frustration, anxiety, and anger at myself. Adderall isn't a cure all, I still have the negative life long coping skills to break, but life is definitely so much better. Good for you for being your own advocate!!!!

[@leonnahofer9138]

Years ago I used to be a dog groomer. There was a springer spaniel that came in one time named Rafer. He and his mom jogged 3 miles from home to our shop so he would be tired out and behave. He was always a good boy just too much energy lol. Well this time I hear and saw this projectile vomit coming out of his cage before it was his turn. I immediately got him outside to get it out and in looking at the mess I see there are cupcake wrappers and chicken bones. Lots and lots of wrappers and bones. We call the let mom and she discovered he had gotten into and eaten 29 chocolate cup cakes that were for her daughter’s classroom and he got into the trash for the chicken. He was okay but that was so scary for his mom.

[@aerynparty]

Im so sorry you got so much on your plate. I struggle with Anxiety Disorder and I totally get it when things get very overwhelming. Much Love to you, Tater, and hope that you can have more relaxing days ahead. EDIT: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ADVOCATING FOR YOURSELF!

[@janisabbe5549]

In addition to the finishes look into the big ticket items- furnace/ac, roof, windows. These items would be on the end of their life if original. We moved into our house and spent a ton on replacing appliances that passed inspection but did not function properly. It ruined our joy for a while afterward.

[@marie-andreec5164]

You're not lazy or a procrastinator. Quite the contrary, you've spent every second of your life fighting to get ahead. You're probably "gifted" as well since you've accomplished so much despite the struggles. You are one impressive young woman!

[@drakat332]

Late diagnosed ADHD here, too. It made such a difference in my life to get treated. Better living through pharmacology!!!

[@SheriLynNut]

I’m so proud of you for advocating for yourself at the doctors! I’m hopeful this latest change will make a big difference in your life! I’m sorry for the loss of your family friend and for the scare with your baby boy. Life can really throw a lot at you at once sometimes. Hang in there Alex, you’re doing great 🫶🏻

[@MollyMcCarthy8]

Learning to advocate for yourself in those kinds of situations is so important! And what's more, most people want you to advocate for yourself! You know your body and mind best. Doctors, makeup artist, massage therapist, etc., they can only go off what you tell them! Learning to speak up for myself and find the right doctor who listened to me has changed my whole relationship with doctors and myself!

[@edwinaspikes9156]

Almost same thing happened. I was sick a month ago (haven't been sick in very long time). I had an appointment with the doctor Dr and decided to leave my senior dogs out of their kennel because had no energy. I was doing self remedies that included tea, honey, vapor rub on feet with onions. I threw the socks away in the bag was tossing tissues in. I really was so sick that I couldn't think straight. I came home to see torn up tissues and the socks with no onions. I honestly didn't have any money and didn't know what to do. I cried and called a friend who was willing to meet me at the emergency vet. My dogs never got sick or reacted and turned out to be okay. But I was truly devastated, but grateful they were okay. It happens, but we just have to be hyp aware that they get into anything at anytime. I'm glad the babies are okay!😊❤ You are not alone in this.

[@lesap8889]

Alexandria, I want to thank you so much for saying that adoption was a way to grow your family! People see it as "not their own children" or something "second best". we have grown our family with 3 children adopted. No matter what you think of doing, thank you for saying that!

[@cherylfelton4030]

So sorry for the loss of a family friend, praying for you and your family. I would love to see videos of after unboxings you do a 'get ready with me' type of video trying out those products.

[@dianachristner]

I’m so proud of you for being assertive with your med care! 😊. That’s a very positive step. Just wanted you to know I didn’t get a driver’s license until I was 35. Talk therapy really helped me take that step as well as with other anxiety & depression. I think it it’s a nice compliment to medication. And it’s it a lot easier now since it can be done online. Last thing, our doggie (now 10!) managed, as a 3 month old puppy, to find 2 raisins underneath a cabinet on the kitchen floor. My daughter & I ( both crying) rushed her to vet hospital & she had to stay overnight. Poor little baby had been with us less than a week & likely thought we had given her back to the shelter 😢. Love your channel!

[@mildlydistressed]

As an extended-release adderall person, it really is a game changer. I'm glad you're feeling better!

[@KinniMoo]

It makes me mad that you are in the middle of a crisis with your furbaby and they have to run an $85 almost scam. Why would the vet waste precious time making you call poison control just so they can give you a number, charge you, and send you to the vet who should already know how to handle???? Poor Tator and poor you guys!! I am glad to hear about finding a potential new home but sorry for the loss of your family friend ❤️❤️

[@morganthurston7975]

The vet normally consults with poison control once the patient is presented to them. Poison control employs board certified toxicologists that advise ER vets (who are not toxicologists) on the best treatment plan. And, unfortunately, since pet poison control is not government subsidized (like human poison control), they have to charge a fee to keep offering the service. And since it's over the phone, they need to collect payment first, or else people would just hang up after getting the information. It's not a scam, it's just the reality of healthcare with no government funding.

[@dianaw4072]

I thought the same thing when my puppy got ahold of a prescription pill. I was mad at first but then I learned what Morgan ^ shared and after I calmed down, it made more sense. Dogs are so different than humans who have a huge amount of healthcare support and research to help our providers take the best care of us. It sucks but it’s like that to make sure our fur babies make it in a crisis. Thankfully mine did. The vet was super honest with me and told me that she might not have if I had waited any longer or had not found her eating the medication. It was an empty capsule(it’s extended release and sometimes I only need half the dose)but even just the tiny bit of residue that was left could’ve killed her since it was vyvanse. 😭 Dogs can get into so many things and each “toxin” is different and needs a unique approach. That being said, it was quite possibly the worst night of my life aside from having miscarriages. I really thought I was going to lose her and it would’ve been my fault. I still have no idea how she got the capsule. I’ve taken more precautions now though. She’s only 3 pounds so it wouldn’t take much. 😭

[@dianaw4072]

Also, I WISH my vet bill had come out to “only” $800! Ours was more like $2k. 💔😭 Rip to our credit card bill and vacation we had planned.

[@brandydurham9936]

When you were speaking about your med fix I audibly said “wow.” I always find it amazing when someone who truly needs adderall, gets it - the incredible impact it can make. Good for you!

[@ObsidianNebula00]

As an ADHDer, I feel you on treating the ADHD before the anxiety. A lot of ADHDers have anxiety *because* of our ADHD symptoms! I know I would feel a hundred times less anxious if, for example, driving weren't so exhausting and stressful for me because keeping my attention on just the road and the whole road for extended periods of time weren't so fiendishly difficult. So happy for you!

[@laurel259]

Just a little observation about your meds (not a Dr, but been on psych meds for 15+ years). They basically have you on two 'uppers.' If your Wellbutrin is the XL version, that stays in your system for 24 hours. For some, not everyone, this can exacerbate the amphetamine effects of the Adderall. If you have trouble sleeping, ask your doc for the regular version of Wellbutrin.

[@simplelittle]

I’m glad Tater is okay. Back in the day when I was young, (we are talking before the internet was so prolific) I had NO idea grapes were bad for dogs. My dog loved grapes. Fortunately, it didn’t appear to have affected him, he lived quite a long life. YIKES.

[@Voodoofairy88]

👏👏👏 Proud of you for advocating for yourself!! I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 9...in 1983. Which for a girl back then, was almost impossible. Every time the Army moved us, my mom would have to argue with new doctors over it. Then again when I turned 18. At 21 I had my first fight with my work insurance that I just HAD to have "grown out of it" 🙄🤦‍♀️ Then again at 29, 35, 40....now at 50 I FINALLY have a doctor that realizes I am both ADHD & Autistic

[@pennyandtaylor]

[@knottynumbers44]

In the next 8 weeks, I have an appointment with my regular doctor, the dentist, having my first bone density scan (I'm in my early 50s), the ophthalmologist, having a colonoscopy (colon cancer runs in my family), the dermatologist, and the gyno. Good times! (UGH) I've always been of the opinion that I'd rather go to the Doctor and find something early, than not go to the Doctor and wish I had. Do I love it? No. Do I find many physicians a bit difficult to communicate with? Absolutely. By the way, my father is a retired Doctor, and my mom was a Nurse. I wish I could say that makes dealing with the system any easier, but these days especially, it does not. High credit to you for taking care of yourself and going and being self-aware enough to be able to talk about what your concerns and priorities are to your physician. Sometimes you have to try a couple things before something is a good fit for your system. Sometimes you also have to try a few doctors before you find one that listens to you and helps you appropriately! Thanks for sharing, too, it is encouraging to many out here on the other side of the screen. xo

[@janebellco]

So glad you are feeling better!!!!

[@christybee3029]

[@mikkilewis5312]

So scary about Tater, and I'm so glad he's okay! My condolences on the loss of your friend. House hunting can be so tedious! Inspection for the flipped house, for sure! Yay for advocating for yourself! I hope this new combo continues to work well for you!

[@jacquelinelayden7979]

I am so happy that's the meds are working and making you feel better ❤xxx

[@laura6796]

Glad little Tater is ok! It's great you seem to have found a med that works!

[@yokokuma89]

you seem so much happier and i am so glad you stood up for yourself

[@ninalopez3210]

I feel we are so similar in so many ways…like it’s crazy’s around the same age, both deal with KP, and anxiety issues. I too thought I might have some type of ADD OR ADHD. We have to be able to stand up for ourselves and you did a great job! Been following since almost the beginning. ❤

[@Alexandria-Ryan]

Thank you❤️❤️

[@annasorelle2700]

I’m so happy that you advocated for yourself!! And that you are feeling better!

[@consonyastovall5858]

First, I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend. Second, I think we would all LOVE to see a pic of Jimmy🤗 Third, I'm soooooooo glad Tater is OK. Owning 3 fur babies myself, I can totally relate. If they even look like something is wrong, there's a phone call to our vet. And last but not least, good luck on the house hunt ❤ God will lead you to the right one. I just love these videos.

[@kimwall9973]

I am so happy that you did the hard thing and advocated for yourself!!

[@bobbieamdahl1811]

We love these videos!!

[@Alexandria-Ryan]

I’m so glad you enjoy them!

My Samoyed (60ish lb dog) ate out of a few raisin canisters and boxes many years ago. We had no idea it was toxic and he was fine each time, but 100% you did the right thing especially for poor Tater with all his conditions. I’m certain I also have adhd but I’d be too scared to take medication to resolve it (I don’t even take aspirin but I’m not opposed to physical health-necessary medications for myself) but I’m happy for you that it’s working out. Not shading at all to be clear I’m just scared of potential side effects for myself

[@jessicaphillips1003]

I love that you share your journey with medicine. I have been on paxil since about November. And I have been feeling the same way for the last few months. I am always so tired and unmotivated. And just no energy to do anything. I feel like I should have the same conversation with my doctor. So thank you!!

[@shirleyq3023]

A home is what you make it 😊sending love and hugs ❤

[@photogbrandie5744]

I’m so sorry for your family’s loss Allie. It’s exciting hearing you talk about acquiring kids because I think you’d make a wonderful mom to humans, just like you’re a wonderful mom to your dogs. Good luck with your house hunting and enjoy life with a less distractable brain!

[@gabbyedwards5334]

So proud of you for advocating for yourself at the doctor! Love these chatty grwms! Keep em coming!

[@drinkzcoffee5183]

I'm so very proud of you for advocating for yourself! It can be so hard to do but you did it and you did it well!! Great freaking job! And I'm incredibly happy the new med is already helping! ❤❤

[@nickennard2446]

You are amazing Alexandria and I hope your Dog Tater is soon recovered from his cookie incident. Your energy is great to watch and fingers crossed that the house hunting goes well. X

[@grungegyrl3876]

Hi Alexandria, I have quite severe ADHD and could never go back to the way I was before getting diagnosed and treated. I still have anxiety but it's nothing compared to how it used to be. I think you have made the right choice in advocating for yourself to get treated for the ADHD. Anxiety is caused a lot by untreated ADHD. Also, I just wanted to mention that I have been subscribed to your channel for years and live it. Jackie

[@jojomart]

Hey Alexandria. I was thinking about the problem with the moldings in the house, and the problem with the tracks on the closet doors. Sometimes, you can get stuff like that fixed as part of the purchase. You tell them the sale depends on if they will fix them. Can't hurt to try! xoxo

[@anxiety4daysmusingmedic891]

Im so proud of you for being your advocate! You did so good! I know this struggle well, im about the same age as you and have been diagnosed with life changing diagnosis. ADHD was so helpful and i noticed immediate calm. My OCD diagnosis made my intense anxiety make sense. You are so kind and polite and you were heard by your doctor. Really, i am so proud of you!❤

[@tracyhernan8617]

The house looks great. I love the kitchen, we have been doing a total renovation on our home and I mean total renovation from outside to the inside and our cabinets are grey and I love them. Good luck on the house.

[@caribeads9772]

I’m so happy for you , you should be very proud of yourself for speaking up to your doctor and advocating for yourself! I’m also so glad that you’re feeling better. The house looks very nice, keep us posted 😊

[@amberkeenan7213]

I love your chats ❤️ your so amazing and caring.

[@Alexandria-Ryan]

Aww you are so kind❤️❤️❤️

[@m.service5584]

Agreed!!❤

[@rosemarybelore6622]

I’m so sorry to hear about Tater! That poor little guy has been through so much 😢 Thankfully he’s doing ok now❣️ Also sorry to hear about your Dads best friend 😢 It’s so hard to lose someone so close and then to have to pass by his house all the time would be even sadder. I’m happy that you might have finally found a house because it seems like it’s definitely time to move! I hope it all works out for you and you can finally spread out more and hopefully get a handle on your boxes lol I love your videos and I’m sure hoping your new medication helps you focus and get all the things done that you’ve been wanting to do. That I’m itself is anxiety inducing for sure!!

[@Porka1987]

Beautiful and honest woman, thank you for sharing your ADHD story, I went through the same thing ❤

[@lindaball403]

I am so sorry about your family friend! That house you looked at, I love it. That kitchen and living room is gorgeous! The grass in the yard is so much and green. I am so happy you were straight with your Dr. I have been on antidepressants for a good 15 years and I am so tired. I want to get off of them now. I probably only needed them for a little while, but here i am. I am glad your baby is okay! ❤❤❤

[@AnkaaraEnor]

Im so proud of you for advocating for your health! I take paxil, Wellbutrin, and abilify to treat depression, anxiety, and OCD. They are working well for me thank goodness.
