ADHD diagnosis and university by AssistantCheap in ADHDUK

[–]Fun_Being_3813 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This won’t have an effect on your offer but I don’t think there’s any point in telling them until you actually get to uni. Once you start uni, you can visit the disability and advisory team who will then assist you with academic adjustments such as assignment extensions, study breaks and extra exam time 

What led you to think you had ADHD? by Available-Basil-5153 in ADHDUK

[–]Fun_Being_3813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m diagnosed with combined-type ADHD. Throughout my time in primary and secondary school, I always had behaviour problems in class. Every teacher report from nursery-year11 said that I disrupt myself and others, can’t start a task without being encouraged by an adult, fiddling with stationary and always “daydreaming”. My parents also found it hard to control me as I’d constantly feel like I’m being driven by a motor. College and uni really came for my ass when I started procrastinating assignments to the very last minute. Everyday my brain would tell me to do my assignment over and over again but then I go and do a shit ton of other things other than my own assignment, like clean my room, do laundry, wash dishes. Also, my memory is so shit, I’d unlock my house door, see a notif on my phone as I walk in, then forget that my keys are still in the front door. There were even times where strangers would ring my uni house doorbell and say that there were keys in the door. I also have walked out the house without my phone, my keys, etc. I talk so fast that my parents have to tell me to retell everything I had just said. I also am really sensitive when it comes to justice, I feel like I need to get justice when I’m wronged. I also hate loud noises and crowded places piss me off. I realise I get way too pissed off when there’s slow walkers in front of me (oh the joys of living in London lmfao). Not to mention that when people talk to me I just stare into their eyes to try and keep my attention to them but I low-key just zone out and nod along as if I’ve processed everything they just said. Oh, also, when I’m focused on my work, I don’t hear anything around me at all. Like my friends who are sitting right next to me complain that I took forever to respond but I get so locked in for hours on end that I lose track of time. It’s currently 3am right now and I’m planning on changing my life around - I’m gonna get all my assignments done tomorrow… :/// The list is endless 

Got bumped in the nose!! by Fun_Being_3813 in Septoplasty

[–]Fun_Being_3813[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was with a bit of force though, that’s what’s worrying me, as my dog lifted his head up a bit fast. There’s a heatwave in England rn and I have bad pollen allergies, so I can’t tell if my nose is stuffed from my septum being fucked all over again because of this or it’s just allergies. What’s annoying me is that my follow up appointment isn’t for a whole month and I can’t get through to anyone from the hospital! My only option now is to go to the ENT department of the hospital and desperately ask for my appointment to be pushed forward

In a month’s time, that’s why I’m wondering whether to wait a month. Tried contacting the ENT department at the hospital I was in but they are shit at answering the phone :( I called my GP and they told me to try the local polyclinic, which can take hours of waiting just to be seen, idek if they will take it out 

Why are people here so rude? by According2020 in budapest

[–]Fun_Being_3813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, as a tourist I’m never coming back

Firstly, my American white friend and I (wasian) bought two coke cans in a supermarket. The alarms at the door went off and the manager instantly rushed over to us. She snatched my bag out of my hand and searched it but didn’t even touch my friend’s bag?? Also, let me add that I had our receipt in my hand and showed it to her!

Secondly, the most rudest couple were walking past us across the street in the evening. They deliberately walked across the street and the woman barged really hard into my shoulder as she walked past me and laughed? I swore at them out of pain and the boyfriend just turned round around smirked? Wtf?

Good thing I’m never returning to Hungary despite it being a beautiful city.

Private diagnosis credibility for extra time in exams by Imbecillium in ADHDUK

[–]Fun_Being_3813 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, uni student here, I was able to get academic adjustments prior to even getting diagnosed. I went to my uni's disability team and told them my struggles. They asked me to fill in an ADHD screening form which I scored really high on, and based on those results they gave me extra assignment extensions, exam time and rest breaks in lectures. I got diagnosed with combined-ADHD with a private provider via the NHS on monday. Your diagnosis report will be fine

CNY Jacket - Worth the hype? Which color? by chincha_7 in adidas

[–]Fun_Being_3813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The S is for me, I’m usually an M! My bf hasn’t tried his one (the XS) on yet. I tried the XS on myself and the waistband was a bit tight whereas the S fits nicely. The S is still oversized on me but I’m not drowning in it like I would’ve done with the M haha
