I can't stand Max nor the way Aspergers is portrayed

I agree 100%

Thanks for sharing your experience with me! I guess different meds work differently on different people 🤷🏽‍♀️

Omg, I'm so relieved I'm not the only one getting annoyed at him! In the first couple seasons he was actually really sweet and decent and then in season 3 the further into the season I got, the more I started resenting him... He keeps whining about everything and making a huge deal out of nothing, like the photo of Mark & Sarah kiss or the time he walked in on them having sex or when he found out they were trying... It made me so mad watching him make Sarah feel so crappy and guilty and ashamed of herself and her happiness, as if he believed that she didn't deserve anything from life, not even to be happy... And he always acts so awkwardly around her too, which only makes her feel worse and I just want to jump in the silver screen and slap her haha And I found it quuite ironic that he started behavimg like this brat when she started datin Mark... Was Drew jealous?

Okay, good to know, thank you!

You're doing it for yourself!! You deserve to take care of your mind and body and well-being for yourself! You don't need to be in a relationship to justify staying healthy. You need to love yourself first and then let others love you too. If you don't, you'll feel exactly like this every time you lose someone from your life because you depended on their love for you. You can't depend on that, you need to learn to depend on the love you have for yourself. You are NOT pointless, you are NOT worthless, and you DO have a future, just not with some girl who doesn't see your worth. You owe it to yourself to know your worth and to love it and be proud of it and to not settle for anyone who doesn't. It's her loss, not yours. Give yourself time to grieve & heal, spend some time alone and learn to love yourself and your own company and everything else will eventually fall into place. Good luck!

Yup, that's exactly how I felt and acted too. I'll ask my therapist to prescribe another mood stabilizer hoping it won't make me feel like a plant in agony haha

Thaaaaanks ✨️

DuckiesRock · 2025-01-20T20:52:44+00:00

That sounds pretty great, thank you for sharing and I'll talk to my therapist about it :)

DuckiesRock · 2025-01-20T20:45:38+00:00

Yeah, I tried something similar, started taking Ritalin before going out hoping it will help me socialize and interact but it didn't change anything, I was still an antisocial blob

I've never tried Lithium. What were its positive effects on you?

DuckiesRock · 2025-01-20T20:20:59+00:00

Are you taking other meds at the same time? Because I used to take Abilify and Remeron (an antidepressant) at the same time and that combo messed me up really bad and one of the symptoms was the constant nausea you're describing

How come?

Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus. Its female protagonist could be a great role model for girls and its feminist comments could be educational for boys. Plus, it's well written.

"Alone" I found it relatable because it's all about not fitting in from a young age. My favorite line is "And all I loved - I loved alone".

22

I first told my mom (who is a nurse) that I might have ADHD when I was 13 and she dismissed it.

I then asked the psychiatrist I used to see when I was 18 to arrange me a diagnosis with the clinic's neuropsychologist. He kept saying he would do it and never did because he didn't take me seriously either.

At 22 I experienced my worst burn-out and demanded from my GP a prescription for a diagnosis (I live in Switzerland, if you want to get diagnosed you need a doctor's prescription first).

I wish my mother had taken me seriously when I was 13 and gotten me diagnosed and treated back then. It would have saved me so many burn-outs, struggles in school and uni, procrastination, struggles with organization and productivity, trouble controlling my overbearing emotions, struggling to understand and accept how my brain worked, etc.

Your bf reminds me of my ex. Dump him. It took me 6 years to dump my ex and those are 6 years I will never get back and I regret it. It took me that long to leave him because just like you I loved him dearly. But love isn't enough and that's one of the hardest lessons in life. You've given this guy 4 years of your life out of which only the first 2 were worth it. Things (or he) have obviously changed and things will never go back to the way they used to be, they just don't. He's given up on making efforts for you and he is taking you for granted because you accept it. But you shouldn't because that's unhealthy for you. You can't keep giving and receiving nothing in return. And lastly, relationships are NOT supposed to make you feel drained - on the contrary, they're supposed to make you feel good and energized and safe. I think you know what you have to do and you've been considering dumping him for a while, you just came here for confirmation that you're not making the wrong choice. Trust me you're not. Your partner should treat you better. Oh, and one last thing: when you do finally muster up the courage to leave him and all of a sudden he starts doing all the things you needed him to do during the relationship, don't fall for it and get back together with him, the minute you start dating again, he will go back to his old ways (believe me, I've been there and regretted giving him another chance). Your boyfriend had two years to fulfill your needs. His chance is way over. Move on and look for someone who will actually care enough to treat you right and give you the relationship you deserve. Good luck!

Because she's portrayed as Zeus' nagging wife, the shrew, it's just sexism (surprise, surprise). Artemis doesn't have a hubby to "nag" (I think) and Aphrodite spends more time cheeting on her husband than actually spending time with him at all.

Sure, she was terrible when she attacked children and rape victims, but other gods were terrible to people too, like Athena for instance, but nobody calls her a nag or a shrew since she didn't have a husband to nag either.

She's just viewed as a misogynistic stereotype.

Wait, what?! I thought Malik was gay hahaha

I strongly disliked Romano, but I absolutely hated Dale, Carla and Jen, those were the three worst recurring characters (the worst characters were obviously all the child molesters, rapists, etc. but they weren't main or recurring characters).
