ADHD burnout and psych issues?
hi my n dx spouse of 17 years has had numerous burnouts in the last few years where he is incoherent and has taken a medical leave to recuperate
I feel he is currently in another one now - all the signs are there etc. but this time he is incoherent complete denial of it and clearly is symptom blind to it. he has pulled himself off some of his meds (fluxotene) but is still on vyvanse. and is almost manic and running on no sleep and caffeine
because he is in denial - he has made me the enemy and it based on what I’ve read - there honestly is no way out except for him to have a crash and burn and then I may be able to get him to seek help
his nervous system is in shambles (I’ve done a lot of reading on this topic) and the only way to fix it is medical intervention. which he doesnt want because he thinks he’s fine
meanwhile he is in 3 different zones/states - either really mad, middle flat non emotion or 100% himself. when he’s the last state if himself it’s like he has no clue of the other way he’s been acting.
I think I’m dealing with a neurological storm at the moment and needing support

experiences with vyvanse?
i recently got diagnosed with adhd (on top of everything else going on, of course :/) tho i am primarily the innattentive type. anyways i was curious if anyone with schizotypal or just schizospec in general has had experience on vyvanse? or comorbid with adhd...
ive been on it for a couple weeks now. i feel it helps my thinking be a little "quieter" and I am able to focus on my stupid ass job better and for longer! but i feel... idk. i go thru brief bouts of paranoia and suicidality for like 1 or 2 hours at a time or so. it always passes. its also ALWAYS at work... so im wondering if its just "i hate my fucking job!!!!" and not the vyvanse, but i dont know anyone else with schizotypal or any schizospec disorders on top of adhd. my psychiatrist felt comfortable perscribing it, but idk im just a little worried!! i havent had any psychosis or irrational delusions, and anything i have thought was me "slipping into psychosis" just passed pretty quickly (less than a day.)
just looking for any type of advice about it... idk. i think i just hate my job honestly LOL i know stimulants are "risky" for people on the schizospec and they generally dont reccomend it... but I AM ALSO ON SERTRALINE/ZOLOFT... so im wondering if they are interacting.... idk. i see my psychiatrist on the 12th so I'll ask about decreasing the zoloft. im on the basic dose of vyvanse (30mg.) idk im just anxious a bit abt it... if anyone has adhd comorbid with schizotypal I'd appreciate your insight. (I also have BPD but liek my BPD symptoms arent symptoming so i think its okay)

Odd injection with pen
Has anyone injected a 7.5 and counted to 10 but didn’t hear it retract? So I lifted up the pen and some medicine dripped out of the non retracted needle so I pressed it in again. Also, had swelling on the site that I never had before. I don’t know if I got the full dose or enough dose. This was my first up to 7.5 in months after dosing down and starting over more slowly.

I tried a layout experiment and ended up not liking it
# overview
* caps: kam wraith
* switches: kailh white rain (choc v2, linear, 50g)
* mcu: ch552g
* pcb: custom, pcba+smt via jlc
* case: PLA
# layout
the idea was to have a unibody with rotated halves, similar to an alice or reviung, but achieving that rotation by translating the columns individually instead of rotating the keys. my main motivation for this was to avoid the wasted space between the halves, but doing it this way also increases the inter column distance, which sounded nice for my fat fingers.
unfortunately, the other main side effect of this design which I failed to consider is that it effectively becomes "row staggered", where the lower rows are closer to the "middle" than the higher rows. coming from a columnar staggered keyboard (another custom, inspired by the reviung), I found this the most difficult thing to adapt to, and will probably return to a more standard columnar layout for my next board.
# hardware
the ch552g was cheap, hand-solderable, natively usb capable, and didn't require many external components to function (other than smoothing caps and USB CC resistors). also as a result, the schematic is very simple- this just might end up being a template that I copy-paste going forward.
unfortunately, the 10 (practically available) gpio pins isn't enough for 60 keys on its own, so I used a BCD-to-decimal decoder which allowed me to use 4 of those pins to address 10 columns, giving me just enough for a 6x10 matrix.
while it was satisfying to use 100% of the reasonably available gpio, it also means I have no other io left for indicator LEDs or rotary encoders- I'm strongly considering the ch552t for my next board for the 4 extra gpio pins.
# case
I neglected to design in some keep outs on the bottom of the pcb for some small anti-slip dots, so I ended up 3d printing a thin cover for the bottom, which I stuck the dots to instead. once I CAD'ed the bottom plate, it was easy enough at that point to design a top plate to hold the switches in place, and I think the PLA-FR4-PLA sandwich side profile look turned out pretty sharp.

I have a problem
My parents have installed Family Link for the Pixel 3 I got from my mother, (I will not reveal my age, but it is around mid teens.), and they give me about 15 minutes of screen time per day, only getting extensions on long trips or my birthday, which is usually 35 minutes. I also cant use chrome because they have blocked EVERY website in chrome. And I haven't done anything wrong or changed anything, it's been like that since I first got it.
Now, my PROBLEM is that I am an artist who uses IbisPaint, and since I use it a lot, I have a 5 minute time limit on it, and I am a very slow artist, so I can't get anything done
I am currently making a PowerPoint on why I should have extended time on Ibis. but I need a plan B in case it doesn't work. I may update you after I try.
