msbelle, please don't stop talking about what's going on with you. We love you, and we are your support network.
Edibles from dispensaries come with dosing information, which I imagine you did not have with homemade hash brownies.
However, that dosage information is still a YMMV thing. One square of 420 Chocolate (the recommended serving!) was not fun or sleep-inducing for me.
You may want to look at tinctures. They were the most effective and consistent thing for me.
The reason I'm laughing is because my answer is: "Uh, I have a LOT of anxiety and want to continue to get paid." That's honestly it.
Yeah, but isn't that basically at the root of most people's work processes? At least the part about getting paid. I hear you about the anxiety, but I think that's a really nice compliment from your manager and coordinator, and you should spend some time being smug about it.
I will continue to post. Today Mac skipped two classes and I am currently parked outside school waiting to pick him up since he cannot be trusted. The plan for the short term I guess will be to take him to school and pick him up everyday. I'll work from home after picking him up since he cannot be trusted.
I found part of a vape pen in his room when I half ass tossed it this afternoon after getting the call from school.

Oh, I am definitely flattered, and I feel like it should earn me one free late article.

This is true, but it still made me laugh. Because I didn't think of it as a process as much as distilled anxiety.
I'm sorry you're going through this, msbelle. I am glad you're posting.

My anxiety usually results in LESS timeliness and Getting Things Done, so....

Ugggghhhhhh.
Has it gotten through to mac just how close you are to breaking? Not in a yelly way, but telling him that you're really at the point of checking out and looking into getting hospitalized? Sometimes it's when the "intervention" gets through to how much ones behavior is affecting the health and welfare of others that it starts working.

This place was surely my support! Of course I was a zillion times worse than my boys or Mac when I was a teen. Kiss my mom goodnight sweetly, go upstairs to bed and right out the window. Pack my school lunch and books and leave at the normal time, but not go to school. I sucked, but I believe turned out okay.
It's a lot, msbelle, and I'm sorry you're going through this.
Have you considered disengaging from him completely? I know that's super hard to do, but sometimes taking all attention away from a kid who's acting out is the only way to get their attention.
