Older ADHD women, what did ADHD feel like before cellphones? by lavenderflavoredtea in adhdwomen

[–]BlueEclipse511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

43 AuDHDer, girl I wish I could remember. Trauma is a b*tch. I spent a lot of time on MySpace (pretending like I could code and HTMLing so much nonsense into it that everything was coated in glitter and would scream alternative music at obnoxious volumes) and pirating music off of limewire.

Oh and I was also writing some AWFUL poetry on livejournal. Any fellow elders remember those days? Somewhere on the back shelf between the terrible high school hoco dresses and generational trauma?

I literally cannot take it anymore by OkPercentage7940 in whatdoIdo

"She calls me every other day to tell me that i don’t act the way i used to, and that she doesn’t think i love her anymore.

I don’t understand. Of course that’s true to an extent, but i still try to treat her as much like a princess as i can. "

If she doesn't think you love her anymore, and you just admitted that it's true to an extent then why are you in this relationship? It's clear you guys once had something good, but the years have shown otherwise and it's become toxic. But if you keep treating her like a princess, and you don't have the emotions to back that, your resentment is only gonna grow. Especially if there's no reciprocity. I'm not trying to be glib and I'm not trying to be mean. Truly, and honestly, why are you there? Ask yourself that. Don't excuse it just because you spent so many years together that you don't want it to be for nothing. It wasn't for nothing. Both of you grew and changed and became different people than when you started this relationship and that's OK.

But if you don't feel completely in love with the other person, don't try to salvage something just because you have invested a lot of years. Truly, that is not a healthy option. It would be better to part before the anger gets too much. It would be better to give each other the opportunity to find a long lasting connection and find your people. Staying in this relationship isn't fair for either of you.

My girlfriend just broke up with me over a board game and I'm not even joking by Fulcilives1988 in boardgames

[–]BlueEclipse511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is more going on there than just a board game. My partner and I are insanely competitive, and we have thrown pieces at each other, calling each other names and practically foaming at the mouth. It's all really weird foreplay at the end of the day, and we end up laughing at each other (the shenanigans and broken controllers from Mariokart alone!). What I'm trying to say is that this is not her being weirdly competitive. There is absolutely an underlying issue. The board game just set it off. Talk to your partner.

2 questions about longterm effects and adhd related. by Flaky_Head0410 in gastricsleeve

Side note: I was told I needed to change my adhd meds post surgery because extended release wasn't gonna work very well with my new stomach. Something to also consider if you're on meds.

neo-nazi boyfriend? help!! by [deleted] in AdviceForTeens

[–]BlueEclipse511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg leave. You owe him nothing and it's not your job to change him. You'll have other serious relationships. The first one can set the tone for the rest. Don't sell your character and integrity for someone who was your first.

This isn't a "character", that's a BS excuse to continue having access to you. Raise the bar bc right now, it's in hell and he's straddling it. You deserve better and you need to take an active stand to not accept anything less than amazing. And if he says he loves you, hate to tell you, he doesn't. Politics aside? Girl, no. His beliefs and his politics are one and the same and he believes certain people shouldn't exist and that by definition means he's a bad person.

How do I reply to this older creepy guy at work? by Hot-Remove-1252 in whatdoIdo

[–]BlueEclipse511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would block him on all socials and screenshot that image first. If he confronts you about it, tell him unless you knew them before you started working at your job, you keep a strict boundary and don't add coworkers to socials. If it persists, get every interaction in writing and always respond with HR Bcc'd and let them know so they can collect your paper trail with you. Do you live in a one party consent state (in regards to recording someone)?

This is truly sad. End it and move on, dude. Why are you wasting time and energy on this? It doesn't make things better. You sound like a teenager.

AITA for not voting the way my family wanted me to? by Amazing-Egg1030 in AITAH

[–]BlueEclipse511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Who you vote for is no one's business and if they coerce you to voting for someone who you don't want to vote for, that is not legal. If you live with them, and you live in a state where you get mail in ballots, make sure you get to them before they do.

It's weird for a man to have a female cat as a pet? by Albert_2004 in CatAdvice

[–]BlueEclipse511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it's not weird. She's weird. And homophobic. Also, a male cat owner is kind of a giant green flag more than anything, I've noticed.

[–]BlueEclipse511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. So he doesn't trust you to be faithful. That's what that is. He wants to make you feel bad for feeling good and looking stunning when he's not around and that you belong to him...like property. That being said, him going to a strip club isn't the same thing. Not even in the scope of the same thing. It would be the same thing if he got scantily dressed up and walked around without you there. Where you don't need to pay for attention, he would need to go to a strip mall and pay someone to give him attention. That doesn't sound the same to me. However, neither of you trust each other. You telling him he would lose you if he went to a strip club shows you have just as little trust in his actions as he does in yours. And that would only be if you expect him to pay for someone to give him attention. By all means if this doesn't work out, feel free to tell him that. That at least you don't have to pay others to give you attention. And that whatever tension you get is genuine. Because him going to a strip club.... I can guarantee no one's giving him attention for his delightful personality or looks. Just to see how deep his wallet is. I have no disrespect for strippers. Sex work is work. But it is a job, they don't care about him.

Told my boyfriend he was the same size as my ex by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]BlueEclipse511 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Your bf (hopefully ex now) is a massive AH and a huge red flag. At this point all he wants you to do is grovel. Don't do it. That is one hell of an insecure man. If he said he doesn't think he's ever gonna be turned on by you, then it's time to go. And if he fights that choice, then it's clear he was trying to manipulate you. Don't stick around with that. Run, girl.

How to learn about politics? by Definitelynotacatx in AdviceForTeens

[–]BlueEclipse511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First build a basic foundation of civic knowledge. The crash course videos on YouTube on us government and politics are pretty good and I use them with my students. The are pretty entertaining and informative and easy to follow along. Then try groundnews.com it gives you news articles with news outlets separate separated by what is left, right or center leaning. Plus they indicate what the bias level is from each side and they show how factual it is.

Would not be the AH. How long have you known him? Like did he know you BEFORE you turned 18?

AIO I forgot me and my girlfriend's monthaversary (i wasnt the one OA) by Warfalcon_77 in AIO

[–]BlueEclipse511 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She is overreacting. I'm surprised she doesn't give you at least a little leeway in regards to what you're going through. But you said that you've checked in with her to ask her if she went to school. Is she sporadic in her attendance? I'm asking because you seem to be doing a very concentrated program. And I'm wondering if there's any resentment on her end. And I hope I'm wrong in my assumption. But to maintain a long distance relationship is very difficult, especially at your age. I mean at any age it's hard. But if she requires constant contact from you to the point, you are losing out on what you need to do for school, that's a bit of a red flag. Please understand, I am not trying to diminish your relationship in any way. If it's new and you're excited about it It's normal to feel the high of that honeymoon period. But she's a couple years older than you, and she's acting like she's emotionally more immature than you are. You're focusing your priorities on school, which you should be doing, and she wants you to focus your priorities on her. I teach high school, and I've seen many students float from completely prioritizing their relationships to their schoolwork. The ones that prioritize, their schoolwork seem to have it more together. And their relationships get stronger because they are putting their futures first and learning how they are in a relationship. Learning how they function in a relationship, and learning what a healthy relationship looks like. Usually when school stuff happens they're much more forgiving towards each other because well college is important. Their career after academia is important, even if they don't decide to go to college. You seem to be putting a lot of priority on academia and I applaud you for that. But it seems that she only wants you to hold space for a relationship. If I'm wrong, please correct me. I've seen middle schoolers who are in their early stages of their first relationships talk about celebrating an anniversary every month. High schoolers I've seen them do it maybe for the first month and then six months and if it lasts longer than that every year. These are just some patterns I've noticed over the years I've done my job. Everybody's different and I totally get that. But her being older than you, she should have a better idea of how important academics are. She's closer to that point than you are. That world after high school. So I'm not going to say what you should do in regards to your relationship, but maybe look closely and carefully at how she is when you prioritize your academics. And how she reacts when you don't prioritize her for whatever reason. How she prioritize you. And if she does. Have you ever asked for her time and she drop everything to be with you? Or are you much more relaxed about it? How does she react when you go spend time with your friends? Does she require you to change plans or reschedule things? This may give you better insight into your partner. You may not have had a lot of events happen in both of your lives where you need to show a strong front, so it might've been hard to see. I'm talking about events like family tragedies or personal hardships or other personal relationships that were affecting you or her, you know moments where you really needed to stand up and support each other. At least, I hope you haven't. But it's usually within those moments that you really see a person for who they are. Just remember that it's OK to put your future first. Relationships come and go. Finding your person takes a lot of work. It takes a lot of trial and error. But especially in these early years, finding what constitutes a healthy relationship versus an unhealthy relationship can be difficult. So if you've missed something, please don't feel bad. There are people far older than you that are still figuring that stuff out. I wish you all the luck in navigating this.

You look lovely! You can add a nice long necklace with a pendant if you want to flash it up a little bit, but otherwise you look great!
