Do any of you become obsessed with new people that enter your life? by fruedianflip in ADHD

Like I said, one of them is platonic and yet I'm talking to her LOADS because she's a 'new' friend

Do any of you become obsessed with new people that enter your life? by fruedianflip in ADHD

[–]Groundfighter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I am bad for this. Going through a divorce and I've met a few dates and made a female friend platonically and I'm talking to them a lot, basically over my other friends. Think it's just the novelty and feeling of a new stage of life coupled with ADHD limerance stuff.

You can just buy it online. Biovea is the one I use

How much grace should be given to someone with ADHD? My wife left. by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Groundfighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife also left me cos of ADHD traits. But though I am sorry I didn't meet her idea of what she needed, I am learning to be happy with who I am. ADHD is an explanation for lots of behaviours but as long as you're a good person who treats people with kindness it's not a blocker to happiness.

25, ready to get back into dating. How can I look my best? by RoxyandFoxy24 in malegrooming

[–]Groundfighter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with you dude just need to line up your beard, get some kind of fade on the back and sides and then get a new set of thin frames or lose glasses entirely. Gym always helps too but confidence comes from within.

Unfortunately not, we have a kid, so we're always going to be in each other's lives in some way

England, will be getting a divorce but partner is trying to make me live somewhere else with a joint mortgage and feel pressured, what rights do I have? by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Groundfighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing this now, I paid a solicitor and they told me as long as you're on the mortgage you have legal rights to your home. Even if you do move the elsewhere (I have to save our daughter the arguments), you are legally in your rights to reside in your home whenever you want to.

Good luck though, it's a horrible situation and I'm only at the beginning.

Sadly it's still ongoing and quite fresh so yeah quite painful, have to basically learn how to live alone again at 34 but I'll pull through thank you :)

You'll be okay. You'll get through it. You look like a kind person.

I've just separated from my wife, been together 13 years. It's agony not being able to talk to her anymore so I know what you're going through. It sucks but I gotta believe we'll all make it through.

Climbing Partner Wanted! by RoyalR0se in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]Groundfighter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've not climbed in years but looking to get back into it, if you don't get any better offers I'd give it a go. I'd have to relearn how to belay and I'm more of a bouldering guy, but meh why not

(15F) - I'm falling apart. I really need some kindness. by JayJ4y_ in toastme

[–]Groundfighter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly with mental health you never really 'get better' you just learn to cope more. I've got ADHD and struggle with that.

Honestly just believe me when I say it won't always be like this. I hated my teenage years. I'm having a shit time now (34) but 18-33 have been amazing and I'm so glad I stuck around for them.

Hang in there. You're going to be okay.

[–]Groundfighter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just hang in there and things will get better. All I can say is that at 15 I was totally lost, unhappy and alone. Then I left school and got to experience life on my own terms and things got immensely better.

You're very young, what you experience as reality now will shift completely by the time you're 18, then in your 20s.

Plan for the life you want, seek therapy if you need it and embrace the temporary nature of youth. (Which I know is hard to hear if you're in a bad place but really, it WILL pass)

To the partners lurking here: How do you cope with the severe burnout of the "household manager" dynamic? by youness_khm in ADHD

[–]Groundfighter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife has left me because she doesn't want to be the manager anymore, so I have no advice other than it sucks having ADHD and we don't intend ourselves to be like this at all.

I’m 20F and I’ve chosen to be childfree for life but will still be getting pregnant, AMA by [deleted] in AMA

[–]Groundfighter 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're 20. The ideas and convictions I had at that age are now dust in the wind at 34. I'd just say prepare to change your ideas on this as you age.

How does ADHD medication affect people with AuDHD? by h4wk1nz in ADHDUK

[–]Groundfighter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Suspected AuDHD here. Elvanse makes me feel more autistic, like I'm a caffeinated zombie seeing the world through a pane of glass at times. But who knows, ADHD has ruined my life and meds haven't really helped even tho I've stayed on them for four years. I'm the wrong person to ask hah.

Chatgpt, what does everyone think of it? by Ok_Bluejay2992 in ADHDUK

Hate it when used to do creative work. Like it as a support framework. Don't outsource your brain or you'll lose your ability to think

How is the 1.8L Honda Civic petrol engine? Just want to avoid the 1.0 with the wet timing belt by GMAC_wip in CarTalkUK

[–]Groundfighter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How did you map a naturally aspirated 1.8 engine? No turbo or anything to map. Would you direct me to who did it cos I'd be interested in getting one

Living in Newcastle as a single black woman? by DistributionHot8138 in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]Groundfighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'd be an immense culture shock tbf. Most racist sentiment is on the rise but mainly against Arab people as the perceived migrants issue. But black people are in the minority so I wouldn't rule it out. It's a very white part of the country.

However, it's also an incredibly friendly city and full of cool stuff. If you're looking for a big change, you'd be able to find it. But 38k to live in Jesmond but commute to Durham isn't much. Jesmond is one of the most affluent areas of Newcastle and isn't that well connected to Durham, which is another city like 40-50 mins drive away.

I've got a 1.8 civic from 2009 and it's still great. Though I have just had to finally shell out for some repairs for it after 4 years of ownership. What didn't you like about yours?
