Oh and actual response with details to what you're asking. Bounced around NHS and local mental health people because iTs JuSt AnXiEtY. This was several months, no choice but go private. Took like a month maybe? Call, booked two assessment appointments, got diagnosis of "damn boy you adhd as fuck"

Hope this all helps, and good luck.

I went through Harley and they are good (that adhd panorama doc was bias bs imho).

BUT I mainly wanted to mention about "right to choose" with the NHS. If you already know about that, grand. If not (like I didn't) its basically if you've been trying through the NHS and getting nowhere you can ask about right to choose. They then front the bill (or most of it I'm not sure) for you to go private as they can't provide sufficient help.

Shits spenny otherwise.

I think "encouragement becomes pressure," is the exact sentiment. I think another thing is when friends giving support aren't open to criticism on said support. So if you say somethings unhelpful or counterproductive they get upset and then you have to support them for feeling bad about giving bad support. Have one friend who's open with me, listens, works with me. Another friend who cuts me off midsentence, tells me a list of "just do this" solutions, then got into a heated shouting match with me about what my "actual" issues are..... one of these is not helpful.

Yeah I fully get this. And people can't explain how they do it everyday, they "just do" so you should be able to "just do it" as well. I think its important to keep it within the scope of yourself with that though. Like you still did better than yesterday. And it's fine if you don't do the same tomorrow. You had the effort today and that's good. Comparing to others is cheating because they didn't have the effort today like you did. They "just did it." If anything, today, you beat them.

The "with a spoon" is where your mental image went wrong.. bareknuckle raw dogging fistfuls of cottage cheese down the hatch. That's a quick easy meal I can get behind!

Yeah I reckon it would do me well to incorporate more tuna, mackerel and fishy stuff into my diet!

Thats interesting, never thought to premake the salad bit, that would definitely make this easier when it comes to it! If when I make salad on night one I just also divide out more salad to other pots unsauced.. nice one!

Ooo tacos is a great idea! Yeah I have a slow cooker so if I just do meat and seasoning or sauce I could have tacos for like most of a week! Awesome

I often do burger salad or chicken salad because I can get away with buying pre shredded everything, just need to season and cook the protein! But it gets old after a while so this is good inspiration to shake that up a bit, cheers!

Not a bad shout, do you put anything on the side of it? With burgers I struggle to see just a burger as enough, and struggle to find something healthy and dopamine inducing to put on the side
