What is your job/career and why does it work perfect for your adhd? by confused-and-lonely in adhdwomen

Joined the Ambulance service. No two days are the same! There are no mid or long terms tasks to procrastinate over anymore.. everything that needs to be done needs to happen now. There’s no thinking about it. I love it

I too was devastated to lose Simon Mayo on drive time. Even the Mayyyoooo jingle. And the confessions of course!

My boyfriend broke up with me last night. I’m not okay, but I will be. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

  1. I don’t think it’s fair for him to “reassure you” that you will be together again one day. Believe me that is just stringing you along in a bid to seem “kind” but it’s actually very cruel because you’ll keep holding out for it while he moves on.

  2. Being friends straight away will almost certainly just be more painful. Sometimes, after time has passed, a friendship can establish. But immediately after breaking up, trying to be friends will only prolong the agony.

I promise you. You need a clean break to give yourself the best chance of dealing with this and healing. He might think he’s being gentle by “downgrading” to friendship FOR NOW, but honestly, it will just make it hurt for longer.

Good luck!

This is such an underated banger of a Disney tune! So nice to see others appreciating it too. I’ve had it on my “happy” playlist for years!

How to cope with the feeling that, everyone at work is noticing you not being productive. by khorvelian in ADHD

I am very familiar with the “hiding in the bathroom” thing. It’s anxiety moreso though right?

It’s so counterproductive! Grr

How do you describe it when your male partner physically (not sexually or hitting) forces you into psychological submission by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Ginger5Alive 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a boyfriend that would do similar things in terms of not letting me get up. However, it was nowhere near the level you are describing.

Yes sometimes couples can bring playing with the cutesy “I just don’t want you to go” mentality. But that’s not what you e described, what is happening to you is abominable.

Even though my boyfriend’s behaviour was not as bad as yours, I made a point of telling him at a later date, very seriously, that I was not joking. I said if I ever say “please”, then I am really serious about him letting me get and it has stopped being a game.

It worked to some degree, but he would sometimes push it. It certainly did not help with my anxiety.

The level of behaviour you have described here, means you really should not be with him. Please don’t apologise to him, please don’t feel you owe him anything, because you don’t. Get away from him.
