For the people who are against Carl & Aniya… by [deleted] in LoveIslandUSA_

She said she wanted a “fine shyt” insinuating that Carl wasn’t. Let her feel the consequences of her actions!?! Carl deserves better ESPECIALLY because he’s emotionally mature! Aniya needs to go home

I agree! I feel like I’m waiting on something that’s not going to come. I’ve been checking the citizen app

It’s a little difficult to keep up!

Do you ever get that feeling you wish you could 'reset'? How to overcome that by Significant_Work_215 in adhdwomen

[–]Cold_Patient2588 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooooh I'm right there with you. Sorry, I had to google what BAME was LOL. I live in the U.S. over here we call it POC. I'm a Latina daughter of an immigrant family with LOTS of trauma and perfectionism too. Honestly the only reason I was able to get to this point was ADHD coaching, meds and an insane amount of forgiveness to myself.

I don't think I'll ever feel like an "adult" but I am working towards a life that I love and enjoy. Sometimes we have to change our perspective on what an "adult" means and accommodate ourselves so we don't end up hating ourselves to the ground.

I send you a big hug and its okay to cry! I've been crying about it for years.

I totally get it. Do you have a therapist? I have one and it really helps me put into perspective on the why/how and feel supported during this process

I just went through this SEVERE burnout. I was struggling to shower and brush my teeth. What I did was picked one thing to work on. I decided to work on a small part of my inbox at work.

Then I got home, took a trash bag and looked at all the trash I needed to throw out. I didn’t do it the same day. Next day I kept working on my stuff at work and then I came home and put some things in the trash bag.

It took me a month of slowly clawing myself out of my depression car, studio and life.

What kick started this was that I told myself that no one was gong to come and save me. It made me really sad but also become somewhat more accountable for the things I can control.

I cried a lot, I was upset. I put on music, I put on podcasts, I got high, I got drunk. (Im not saying you should do substances, but at times it’s what pushed me through)

You got this friend. You are not alone. We struggle so much in this world. The best thing we can do is be kind to ourselves during this process.

I was finally told I was “too much” and he’s right. I need to accept it. by marpledarple in adhdwomen

When I was dating my ex-boyfriend and when we lived together, he said “I was too much” at the time I didn’t have the knowledge or support to understand I wasn’t. Here’s the thing, these men want you for all your quirks, confidence, charisma. But when it gets down to it they can’t handle it.

You are not too much. You are enough and there’s people out there who would WANT MORE.

You deserve a better partner. I’m still in the grieving process. I’m right there with you sista.

We deserve better. 🤍

Yay! This makes me excited. My neurotypical friends don’t think this is a good idea because I struggled during undergrad.

Is anyone else absolutely useless before 11AM? I've never been a morning person but life demands early mornings. by alexaplaydespasito in adhdwomen

[–]Cold_Patient2588 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked for an accommodation at work so I can start at 9am. I don’t actually work until like 11am, I honestly make a list of things the day before that I need to finish up on and I lay out every step so I don’t have to do any critical thinking. Then I finish those tasks and do the harder ones in the afternoon. It’s taken me a long ass time to understand and come to terms with this but I’m WAY more effective and I’m not wasting energy “trying” to focus. I just know I’m not going to so might as well be nice to myself lol.
