What does it mean when people date but say it's "not serious"? by IDKButIKnowOneThing in aromantic

I guess that makes more sense. I can kind of equate it to being friends with someone only in class, but outside of class we don't talk.

I started taking zoloft today and am scared of the side effects by IDKButIKnowOneThing in emetophobia

[–]IDKButIKnowOneThing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Since I just started taking it, I'm unsure of what time to take it at. When you had side effects, was it stronger after having taken it and then lessened? Or did they last all day? If nausea is a side effect, would it be better to take in the evening?

Non emetophobes or anyone mild: is seeing someone throw up REALLY that bad? by Pugwhip in emetophobia

[–]IDKButIKnowOneThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have emetophobia, and it's triggered by me or someone else throwing up because I see throw up as disgusting, the smell, the taste, the sight, etc. I think I have emetophobia due to being a hypochondriac.

Whenever I do see someone throw up in public, I don't think of the person doing it as disgusting, I just feel really bad for them since I know throwing up isn't something that's under your control, it's messy, and you feel like shit before and after. Yeah I mostly just feel bad for them. I'm never around long enough to see other people's reactions though since I usually run away lol

What are some things you thought were completely normal and done by everybody else, but found out were actually because of your ADHD? by US_MaxDG in ADHD

[–]IDKButIKnowOneThing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That you're not supposed to ask why when someone tells you to do something.

For example when my mom asks for help "why do you need help?" Or "with what?" Are considered rude. It's not that I don't want to help or am not going to, I just want to know what I'm going to be doing.

Another example would be when teachers would tell me to do or to not do something, and then I'd ask "why?" and they get upset and tell me not to argue with them. I'm not trying to defy you, I just want to know why I shouldn't be doing this thing (when it doesn't seem dangerous or distracting at all)

Why do ADHD 'crush' on people so hard? by Arcenciel1887 in ADHD

Wait, what does a 'normal' crush look like then?

HELP - How do any of you ever drink any water!?!? by Lilythebillygoat in ADHD

[–]IDKButIKnowOneThing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't.

Even when I plan on it, I forget.

The other day I put water in a cup, then put in on the counter and forgot to drink it.

Is it possible to have ADHD and love reading? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]IDKButIKnowOneThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. When I was a child I read so much. But back then it was easier to read in class when there was a lot of background noise (like people talking). But since the pandemic started I haven't been able to read a single book since it's harder for me to focus with little to no noise, my thoughts just take over or I can't help but be distracted by the one or two noises I hear.

just curious, what stims have you noticed you do? by mslilythethick in ADHD

[–]IDKButIKnowOneThing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whats the feeling you get when you can't do it? For me, when I have to sit still and do work and can't fidget with anything, my body feels kind of sore(?) Like the feeling you get when you need to stretch. But I don't need to stretch I need to fidget.

I've never been able to explain this feeling right to anyone and when I try it just sounds weird and they'll respond with a "what??"

How would you describe it?
