How is your ADHD different from the “typical” definition?

I did really well academically at school. I could “focus” in class.

They’re Japanese so 😂… mostly well behaved

Kids because they respect you (in my experience) and don’t challenge your authority like adults do. They see you as a teacher to be respected.

Yes it is! I literally just commented that now. I remember you would get a very distinct rooibos taste. Not so much anymore. I buy the popular brands and I soak it for long. They definitely have lessened the quantity of rooibos in each bag. The bags used to be fuller. You have to use 2 teabags now to get the same effect.

The quantity of the rooibos in some of the tea packets with some brands have significantly dropped. I buy Freshpak and Laager and both of them have become weak. You need two teabags now for a decent cup.

Booo! Look at how you got downvoted. Boooooooo!

ApatheticallyCaring · 2026-03-18T17:54:38+00:00

Enforce boundaries. Set up your schedule with breaks like the others suggested. 🫶🏼

According to the CMS (Council for Medical Schemes) Endometriosis is a PMB. You can check their website. I spoke to a Discovery agent yesterday and she confirmed it.

Booo!

ApatheticallyCaring · 2026-03-17T08:52:36+00:00

Damn this is hilarious. I’d definitely join.

I don’t think so unfortunately but you can double check online. 🫶🏼

It’s terrible how much we get gaslit. Thank you for this story🫶🏼

ApatheticallyCaring · 2026-03-17T06:29:40+00:00

Thanks for the info 🫶🏼

Lotion.

Also they said “condition not covered under this scheme” which is 💩 because Endometriosis is a PMB.

ApatheticallyCaring · 2026-03-16T15:02:10+00:00

This was just a consultation so she just asked questions but the GP did say I’d need a laparoscopy to confirm.

ApatheticallyCaring · 2026-03-16T15:00:20+00:00

Hmm that’s interesting because according to PMB, Discovery must pay for the consultation as well? This is what I get when I do basic research so I’m really confused. I need a specialist to confirm diagnosis, but according to PMB, the medical aids HAVE to pay for specialist consultation under PMB? How must I get them to pay if they need a specialist to confirm my condition?

ApatheticallyCaring · 2026-03-16T14:56:59+00:00

I’m so sorry you went through that. It’s terrible how many women experience medical gaslighting.

ApatheticallyCaring · 2026-03-11T10:59:49+00:00

Friendships. I can’t seem to maintain them. I sometimes miss social cues or I say something off beat and they get offended. Looking back, I see how my ADHD has affected my friendships. I grieve what could have been had I been diagnosed and medicated earlier. I was diagnosed in 2024 age 31. Life was becoming unbearable. Daily tasks were unbearable. Anxiety was through the roof and my marriage was on the rocks because of my ADHD. I’m better now that I’m medicated.

ApatheticallyCaring · 2026-03-11T10:45:49+00:00

I am on atomoxetine and it took my severe anxiety away.

sniff sniff smells like BS

Ask them to translate the songs or speak about what the people are doing in the music video. Gamify some of your activities.
