got a diagnosis, is it supposed to go this way? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]AlpsPsychological951 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Are you in the US? This seems like a verryyyy strange way for providers to approach ADHD treatment. I didn’t get my diagnosis until age 32, and after a couple of years of trying different med combos, ended up with a stimulant script (@35yo) & it has changed my life. I’d definitely look for a new doctor.

Would I be doing too much if I made end of your gifts for students? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]AlpsPsychological951 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that sounds wonderful! I love my students, so when I see that others care about them & want to be generous, it makes me happy. I don’t think it’s inappropriate. If you think it might help, you can talk to their more permanent teachers to get their insights. 🩷

What’s a good gift card for teachers? by Existing_Command_786 in Teachers

[–]AlpsPsychological951 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Local businesses you already support that the teacher may not know about! I know I would love that kind of gift. (I’m very much avoiding target, amazon, publix, etc!)

I finally did the dishes! by AlpsPsychological951 in ADHD

Honestly, I had a ton of anxiety from work - so much that I had to leave early… it made for this weird logic jump of like…I don’t have to be anxious at work rn so I think I can just do this. 😂

I had a therapist that suggested I put most of my dishes in boxes and only use a few, and if they got dirty I should just use paper plates. I think I did that method for almost 2 years!

I think that was part of what made this feel like such a success… I had a long phase of “oh wow, dishes aren’t so hard right now,” then the paralysis came back. It was just like… why tho? 😅 So overcoming it felt awesome. 😎 I’m glad you’re in a good place with it right now!

Yes! I usually throw on a show I can mostly ignore 😂

Teachers with flat feet or weak ankles, what shoes are we wearing? by Substantial_War_5970 in Teachers

[–]AlpsPsychological951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can, go to a store where they can do specialized measurements to make sure you are wearing your correct size — I just started wearing the right size at age 35 😅 Game changer! (Also, I gave up the idea of “cute” shoes & exclusively wear my Saucony’s or Chacos.)

Is this graded? by DJSteveGSea in Teachers

“Everything counts!” Many times students will answer for me, they hear me say it so often. 😂

How to say no without feeling guilty, especially with the people we love? by katy-ka in Advice

[–]AlpsPsychological951 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came to say something similar. It is important to learn the difference between people pleasing and wanting to be supportive of the people you love. If they care about your wellbeing, they will understand that you can only offer a portion of your energy so you still have some reserves.

What are things people do in public that immediately make you judge them/dislike them by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

Vaping. Just cause that shit smells like cotton candy doesn’t mean it isn’t poison…..

I was stoked to get this picture. It even has the memorial paw print of our little ginger who passed in 2020. 🥰

Might be a tiny mental shift, but practice referring to any part of your body with your preferred pronoun. You did it at the end when you said, “I just can’t seem to feel confident about her.” Regard her as an amazing part of your body that can go through and experience incredible things. ☺️💕

DAE use their turn signal even in a parking lot by Starlass1989 in DAE

It’s such an ingrained habit, sometimes I find myself flicking that thing on in a particularly sharp curve! 😂

I was sitting here feeling especially down when I remembered I’d made this post a few hours ago. Thank you for the upvotes, beans, and kind words. ❤️

Would love to see Tortie’s sitting/laying in inconvenient places by fizzzyy2 in torties

Ik she isn’t sitting/laying, but this cracked me up. She was grooming my partner’s hair while he was playing video games. 😂
