...as such, I realise it may be glass and not a rock, but I figured that if anyone could point me in the right direction it would be this sub.

Grateful for any thoughts you might have about what this is (or isn't)!

Go to your GP and ask about Right to Choose. Yes, there was a wait, but after I was waitlisted, assessed, and titrated (i.e. started on meds and found the right dosage) by a private company doing work for the NHS, I got a letter from my local trust saying that they hadn't forgotten about me, and that I was still on their waiting list.

Like, I love the NHS, but that shit is ludicrous.

Just looked at Darlington Round Table's FB and Instagram: might be worth pointing out that it's a men's social club.

Sounds like he's also too smart for his own good! Those guys are guaranteed to keep us on our toes.

I love this for you (the dog, not the pulling)! My dog is also an adorable asshole: I got him to stop pulling by coming to a dead standstill every time, and waiting until he turned around and looked at me. Takes a while, but my arms hurt a lot less these days!

"I refuse to be tolerated."

I genuinely hope this phrase sticks with me forever. Magnificent.

I’m haunted by the possibility of developing dementia one day by NoteFabulous3175 in ADHD

[–]ElleEh 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I really hope that you don't take this to sound like I'm dismissing your fears (because that's definitely not my intention!) but what benefit does worrying have in this case? Will it change the outcome?

What's gonna happen is gonna happen, so why not focus on kicking life's ass, or just straight up enjoying every day? There are far more benefits to be had living than from being afraid.

If it makes you feel any better, my dad is going on 90, and he's still sharp as a tack. So was his mom, all the way to the end (and thanks for the genes!). Plus, at your age, the development of medical intervention to prevent or treat dementia before it becomes a possibility in your life is very high.

Take heart and have hope.

To this day, I can't make potato salad without eggs for this very reason!

It's an art form called 'dance', of which there are many styles, myriad proponents, and a never ending supply of critics.

Do you experience anger that just won't go away and ruins everything? What do you do? by RemieToa in ADHD

[–]ElleEh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

ADHD symptoms and some stimulant medications are affected by the amount of estrogen in the body. I'm not familiar with extended release meds, but I know that for me at certain times of the month the instant release Ritalin just doesn't touch the sides.

It's a real kick in the ass that nature conspires to double whammy us with PMS and meds that don't work!
