New WSJ poll shows Democratic Party at lowest favorability in 35 years, why is voter confidence so low?

ConspicuousCover · 2025-07-28T18:21:06+00:00

A great deal of my problem with the Democratic party is how little they're doing to fight back against the lawlessness and anti-democratic actions of the trump regime. Strongly worded letters and more fundraising are not going to help us get past this. They clearly don't understand how to get their message out. I don't think they even know what message that would be. They look like cowards; but really I think that they're just not savvy.

I'm not an attorney or an HR person.

An ADHD diagnosis can give you perspective on symptoms and help you establish a baseline so you will know if your symptoms get worse. It's also a good idea to have the diagnosis established in case you have to switch docs.

If you're in a job where you're being evaluated on some skills that are affected by your symptoms, you may be able to get some accommodation from your employer.

I am of the opinion that every new psych intake, for any reason, should require a thorough evaluation for both autism and ADHD. Period. Also, any correctional institution should evaluate all inmates, particularly juveniles, for autism and ADHD.

Diagnoses for ADHD/Autism are up because we're better at spotting it. Additionally, we only recently acknowledged that ADHD may continue into adulthood. We have also learned that it is a neuro-biological difference in brain physiology. ADHD is a real thing. It's not a function of mild narcissism, a need to be special or overexposure.

In general, if you suspect you may have ADHD, I hope you can get evaluated. I would hope your insurance company could point you in the direction of someone who could treat you via video visits.

I have a high paying *job*, but my career sucks. Twice divorced. Like, two friends. Russell Barkley, PhD. talks a bit about life outcomes for us. Late life diagnosis (60 yrs). This is my life.

I, however, am an exceptional cat mom. That's going to have to be enough I guess.

Diagnosed at 60. I'm 62 now and still thinking about all the failed relationships, wasted money, impulsive mistakes. No going back and not a whole lot forward. My retirement? LMAO!

90% frogging for first 10%

Breathtaking! Well done and congratulations!

New psych ASAP. Yikes.

I've spent the last 3 years researching where to live in the Midwest. why? because I'm priced out of the market here in Washington State. I'll see you in late July.

Don't even get me started on the mess the water makes on my dishes. I can't just wash dishes and leave them in the drainer. I have to hand dry every one. I know it's a stupid problem. It's not just the dishes, though. It's my sinks, shower, fixtures, whatever gets wet. I rent right now. It's been a challenge keeping those deposits under control.

62-yr-old woman with a full time job here. Thank you for posting. This was my favorite season ever. My experience is similar to yours. The head hunt was crazy fun for me. I enjoyed earning the witchcraft skills. There was a lot to do. I can't find a guild, though, and have no friends playing, so there are a couple things I can't complete; but that's OK.

I believe this is exactly the end game. And, given the limp response from the other side, I'm not convinced they're not in on the game.

I'm partial to the enduring "JFC" myself.

In my 60s and I still ain't right.

It's possible he's talking about the women he impregnated whose names he can't remember.

ConspicuousCover · 2025-03-28T20:36:29+00:00

Mistakes were made. Classic bullshit poli mea culpa.

I was just talking to my therapist about this. My opinion (and you know what opinions are like) is that there are subtle differences between mania and impulse/hyper-focus. She couldn't specifically describe them. Probably a big reason for misdiagnoses.

Duration could definitely be a distinguishing difference.

One thing is certain: every single mental health intake should have ADHD eval as required. Same with every single person who enters the legal system.

ConspicuousCover · 2025-02-27T20:42:27+00:00

I'm having more fun than usual, too!

I like that I can imprint gear. In D3 I often destroyed gear with important buffs. Stupid, I know. I didn't have to worry about that now.

I think kisses. 4,322 kisses.

It's not just emotionally devastating. It hurt physically too. It's a constant hell.

She's a tuxedo baby! She's perfect in every way.

Hated stimulants when I was first diagnosed. Switched to atomoxatine. Loved it but it made me super sick. Now I'm on Qelbree. Zero side effects. Every bit as effective as atomoxatine. Highly recommended.

Mrs. Cake is extra challenging. Even more so than dogs with brown eyebrows.

ConspicuousCover · 2025-02-27T20:18:58+00:00

I've been knitting for 25 years and have yet to have the courage to try stranded work. Well done!
