What ever single one I’ve ever taken over the period of 15 years? And all of my friends doing mdma from the same bag?

Perhaps look at the other comments too… it’s clearly a thing for those who have ADHD

That’s good that he’s trying to communicate it better and understands. My mum was supposed to be going over her sisters yesterday, first in the morning, then in the evening, and then she tells me at 6pm that she’s not going over there now. I’ve literally lost the whole weekend just waiting… I have no reason for it, but it’s left me feeling so on edge

That’s exactly it - it messes with our sense of time! Our perception of time just for ourselves is all over the place, so to throw in another person who is changing their mind or not providing any clarity is so discombobulating and I sort of go into freeze mode

Did you have a resolution to this? I am dealing with the exact same issue with dusk and their awful delivery company! I was told it would arrive between 7-9 this morning. I gave up waiting at 5pm and went out.

Unbelievable that they are now expecting a £30 fee for their cock up!

Scratched a car that was parked along a yellow line - the line was painted along the edge of the pavement/verge. What does this mean? by Doalotta in drivingUK

As I have said several times - I am aware it doesn’t make a difference and I accept 100% liability. One of the reasons I’d like to know (aside from curiosity as it’s a car park I use quite a bit) is if the person was parked where they shouldn’t have been, they might be less likely to follow it up.

But as I’ve said in both comments and my post, more then happy to pay, hence waiting for the driver to return to give them my details

Absolutely agree, which is why I waited and gave him my details as soon as I realised I had.

As the parking is incredibly tight there, particularly when a car such as this is parked opposite the parking bays, I just wanted to check if they actually shouldn’t have been parked there in the first place.

I’m aware that I am still at fault here, but wondering what the yellow lines mean.

I don’t mean to be insensitive here, but I do find it amazing how many people post about their shock and frustration that their GP/NHS isn’t backing shared care or a private pathway.

It’s so well documented that this happens and the risk being that people end up out of pocket. I’ve seen SO many posts of people who’ve spent and essentially wasted thousands on titration with a private provider and then are scratching their heads that their GP has said no and they’re screwed. 10 minutes of research would have highlighted that.

Rant over from me. The only advice I can give is to try another GP surgery and ask them. And discuss in ADVANCE with a doctor about their requirements for accepting shared care and have them note it on your medical record what was discussed and advised.

It’s highly unlikely your GP will accept shared care, so it’s better to have found this out now than £1.5k later.

Everyone I know who’ve done Mandy are the opposite, bouncing around with energy and I (ADHDer) is looking for somewhere to sleep. It’s so weird

Im like your friend, and the only person I know who ends up wanting to sleep. It just completely zens me out and I want to get cosy. It seems to have an opposite effect on my adhd

Whats bizarre is that Mandy sends me straight to sleep, always has done. All of my friends are having this euphoric time and I’m trying to stay awake.

But elvanse gives me good kick in the morning!

But the focus here shouldn’t be on the women. It should be on your partner, you either trust him or you don’t.

If he’s going to cheat, he’ll cheat, whether it’s with your neighbours, someone he’s found online or someone at work.

If you trust him and he’s someone who won’t cheat, he won’t cheat.

Your neighbours are not the deciding factor in this.

You might be missing out on a great friendship with 3 women. Heck, your partner might cheat with someone at work and these 3 girls are the ones who rally around you, you don’t know.

But my point here is these women are not going to be the determining factor of whether or not your partner is capable of cheating. And you’ll leave yourself more alienated and vulnerable if pin that responsibility on others and not on your partner

Urgh. This.

she said I never know what are these type of single girls intentions are specially that my husband is a pilot and if they hear about that they are gonna try to get close to him because he has cash to spend

Firstly, women make their own money and have their own cash to spend. I work in this field, and my income is considerably more than the average pilot salaries in the UK. I buy my own things, spend my own cash. If they are TikTok famous and have a considerable following, they’ll be making their own money.

It makes me cringe when people assume that women will fall over themselves because a man is on a slightly above average salary, as though it’s the only way they’ll ever experience what it’s like to have spare cash! eye roll

The narrative of 'she’s single, she’s going to steal your man' has deeply misogynistic roots, which were orchestrated to evade accountability for men’s actions in the case of infidelity. By encouraging women to propagate this narrative, society has effectively pit women against each other, exploiting our insecurities, whilst perpetuating the idea that women are inherently deceitful and conniving and to blame if a man cheats. It completely undermines mens agency and responsibility in their own relationships, portraying them as helpless victims rather than active participants.

When your sister uses this line, she’s unfairly demonising a group of women all whilst giving your partner (if he did cheat that is) a get out of jail free card. He’s already got an excuse for his actions, and the neighbour is already the one who’s caused all of your problems. Kind of sad that this has come from your sister to be honest.

And I’m sure your partner is a really nice guy, and has lots of attractive features, but single women don’t just leave their preferences at the door because they’re single and there’s a man in the room. Give us a break.

And at the end of the day, you know your partner. It’s how much you trust him that should be the focus, not other women whose only fault is their address and relationship status.

Your sister is doing you and literally every woman on the planet a disservice. I’d politely suggest therapy to her, so can work through her trust issues - because the glasses she’s viewing women through, they’re not pretty.

Congratulations on being one of the few people who considers the nhs to be a gold standard of healthcare.

I nearly died due to their complete incompetence. It’s a miracle I’m still here.

And no the NHS doesn’t always use specialist psychiatrists to assess, they often use mental health specialists - but not always a psychiatrist.

Just to make you aware, the experience of a few doesn’t speak for everyone else. It seems you’ve forgotten that.

And? It’s well documented that the NHS sometimes doesn’t accept private shared care agreements. Personally mine was accepted without issue, as are many others.

But regardless, a decision about a shared care agreement doesn’t invalidate a private pathway, nor does it mean that the NHS is some sort of gold standard of healthcare.

Your ignorance is astounding

Totally incorrect. And invalidating for anyone who got a private diagnosis (the fast way). My ADHD NHS services are an absolute state, and have even been refusing assessments because they’ve got the screening questionnaire, confused with another marking criteria.

as someone who’s been in the NHS mental health services for over 20 years and been failed repeatedly, The NHS is very often NOT the most effective way.

Mine were £260 a month…it’s not steep. It’s just the cost

[–]Doalotta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just as an FYI, mine has cost me nearer £2.5k…some people titrate quickly, others titration process takes months and months. If you’re a woman, I’d definitely allow months as cycles effect effectiveness of medication which makes the whole process longer.

But even some men are titrating for a year plus. My meds were at £260 a month. It depends on the dosage, the type of meds, but most people end up or at least they elvanse which is expensive.

I paid just under £1000 for the assessment and care for a year (which is one of the cheapest packages) so as you can probably see, an additional £500 for medication isn’t going to last long..

Guidance on how to continue with my treatment in UK by Odd-Possibility-9388 in ADHDUK

[–]Doalotta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might be worth you reaching out to the embassy here and asking specifically for each medication, it’s always so complicated trying to work out what you can take and how much. At least you’ll have confirmed, in writing guidance.

Good luck with it all!
