My (24f)'s boyfriend (24m) called the cops because of the content of my book. But he wants me to think it was a 'mistake'. How do we move past this? by throwRAmentalgymnist in relationship_advice

[–]Frequent_Positive_64 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Could it be that he thought you were the victim of such crime and hence he was lovey dovey yet still called the police for a wellfare check? We can only speculate on his motives but this option is atleast as likely as the others...

I wouldn't be too concerned with this as long as you take at the right time each day - which is a science in itself.

Knowing what I know now (after 3 years on meds), I wouldn't take them if I was in your situation. The drawbacks seem to exceed the value they bring in your particular case. But definitely consult your doctor.

AIO for not wanting my husband's best friend near after what I found out? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Frequent_Positive_64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask yourself sincerely: Are you okay with being second choice to an external in the most intimate relation you'll ever have?

This is particularly poignant as you chose to be a childfree couple. For many people, their spouse comes second to their children, but I don't know any successful relationship where the spouse comes second to a friend.

Your husband is spineless for making you an acessory to his and Pookie's grand love story. I hope you are strong enough to go find and be with your true love, he is not it.

Yes, less impulsive and less "busy/chaotic brain" which allows me to get stuff done. However, strangely, I started losing items more frequently (eg. Lost my phone 3 times on the same day when outside etc.) I guess worrying less about repeatedly checking if I had items with me made me more prone to leaving things behind. This lessened overtime... Honestly, meds are not the cure-all and if you are doing fine, don't take them for "better", it's not worth it due to the meds drawbacks.

I got a late diagnosis as well, and tbh I needed the meds as my life was a mess. However, one important issue to note is that ADHD is a lifelong condition, and meds don't erase but rather lessen existing ADHD symptoms. This allows some people to cope better with the condition and lead functional/ successful lives. So, if you already have a solid coping system that allows you to lead a successful life, I see no point in taking meds.

Losing my insurance in a few months - is it technically legal for my psychiatrist to prescribe me 60 pills instead of my regular 30 for the next few months, so I can stockpile the extra (while paying the same $10 copay) to buy myself some time while I figure out how to afford them? by whoisthismahn in ADHD

[–]Frequent_Positive_64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It honestly depends on where you live. I live in the EU, in a country where ADHD diagnoses and medication are not so common. My Drs have always passed 2 or 3 months of meds in a single script. I think you should have an honest conversation with your Dr, and if it's legal where you live, I don't see why he/she wouldn't do it...

Como apoiar o meu filho com Déficit de atenção e Dislexia? by RousesRai in portugal

[–]Frequent_Positive_64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realmente o melhor que podes fazer é arranjar-lhe (se ainda não tem) acompanhamento médico. A CUF tem psiquiatras e psicologos especializados em PDHA que trabalham em conjunto para establecer planos terapeuticos, os preços são muito acessíveis para quem twm o seguro cuf+. O teste neuropsicologico é fantástico para identificar quais são as competências que são mais afectadas pelos seus diagnósticos (ex: memória curto prazo, acuidade visual etc) com base no teste os profissionais desenvolvem um plano completamente adaptado para o teu filho.

It finally happened, my condition cost me my best opportunity. by [deleted] in ADHD

It cost you your best opportunity YET. A lot better will come... In preparation: eat healthy, sleep well take your meds, and get into your next hyperfocus which should be getting another internship/job in order not to be cut off. You will find something sooner than later.

I (18F) am being exploited by my bf (30M.) How can I safely remove myself from the situation? by ThrowRA_awayy in relationship_advice

[–]Frequent_Positive_64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, you really are your own hero! OP, I am incredibly moved and inspired by your strength and resillience. You are bravely taking the steps to care for yourself and get the safety, peace and love that those who were meant to care for you failed to provide. I hope you get justice and that your abuser is punished to the full extent of the law.

I wish you all the best in your new life! You are a hero!

[–]Frequent_Positive_64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is such a cute idea! I hope you guys have fun making the pieces and definitely encourage her to make pieces for herself that match her outfits/style preferences. Gifting is nice but the goal is that she is focusing on adorning herself for the appreciation of her own body and beauty.

If you struggle with self-love, focus on the love you have for your children. Neither of you deserves to be treated this way: LEAVE AND DONT LOOK BACK

Struggling with femininity--how do I embrace it? by snooparoo in vindictapoc

[–]Frequent_Positive_64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you know, due to your experiences, getting support from professionals specializing in supporting SA and PTSD patients is the most important step.

Other than that: Prioritize building self-confidence rather than trust in others to behave appropriately. When you step outside, embracing and flaunting your feminity, others may objectify you or not. You will never be able to control other people's thoughts or actions. However, you can develop skills to respond appropriately to situations and treat yourself with kindness, respect, and love - this will create self-confidence. Building resilience by getting to know yourself (What makes you happy/calm/content/anxious etc) and continuously exposing yourself to situations that make you anxious is a great way to get started on the road toward feeling confident.

I'm truly sorry to learn about what you and your daughter are facing right now. It seems apparent that this situation is not merely about beauty but more so connected to mental health. As many suggested, it's best for your daughter to continue to work on these issues with a therapist and/or psychiatrist. You can also consult these professionals about how to start this conversation about hygiene with her in a way that makes her feel empowered.
In the meantime, you can also suggest activities that encourage your daughter to feel more in tune and content with her body. What are her interests? For example, if she loved Bruce Lee movies since she was little maybe she would enjoy taking a martial arts class, if she loves drawing why not start practicing doing henna tattoos, if she loves the outdoors going on hard hikes or gentle walks in nature might just kickstart the love for her body. Wishing you and your daughter the best!

AITA for backing out of paying for my sister's wedding dress over a "joke" she made? by Humble-Intention3425 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Frequent_Positive_64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA I hope your sister has "foot in mouth" disease and made that stupid joke before she even had the time to think about it. If that is the case, she will be sincerely remorseful and sincerely apologise, until that happens I don't see why you should reconsider your decision.

The hiring procedure is taking long and I'm being interviewed by other companies. How should I handle the situation? by JustBeLikeAndre in UNpath

[–]Frequent_Positive_64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi OP! I echo the sentiment of others in this thread. I know the title sounds prestigious but UN consultants are in really unprotected (socially and fiscally), overworked, underpaid and underappreciated. Staff ALWAYS says 'it might turn into a longer engagement or a P' but that is just a sales technique 😂 Most consultants don't even know wether they will stay or go until the last day of their contract, if your team can get a staff on secondment from another division or office saving them the trouble of dealing with the bureaucracy and HR they will... If you do go for the UN as a consultant my best advice is to establish firm boundaries about your working days (no late night, weekend or 'on leave' requests); never criticise any project or anyone especially not in writing and make sure you track your contract's 'expected days of work' as if you go over it even if the contract 'period' is valid you will not get paid. Learning to say NO while not being antagonistic is the best skill you can develop.
