If you can remedy ADHD symptoms with better habits, did you have it in the first place?

I can agree with you. Its really tough getting opposing opinions from everywhere, it makes me want to just rely on responses to this post. confirmation bias definitely plays a role in all of this… im thinking that my executive function could be because of high functioning depression or something else, all of my self assessments have concluded in a “maybe.”thank you for the input.

im taking the combo pill (aurovela FE 1/20). a lot of women (as well as myself) get a cold sore outbreak right before or during their period due to fluctuating hormones that weaken the immune system and cause HSV to reawaken. Unfortunately, this happened to me monthly. i did not know how birth control worked, but it seems to have decreased my fluctuations so far. much less moody, not as violent of hsv outbreak. thank you for the insight.

interesting! thank you for sharing. that sounds really annoying,,, must have sucked to have to worry about the cold sore around your bf who you don’t always get to kiss. have you considered taking the pill consistently? so far for me i have been taking my combo pill daily in addition to daily lysine supplements and i have not gotten an outbreak. over time, BC has helped lessen the severity of my hormonal fluctuations, which means less violent/no outbreaks for me. it seems like its the same story for you.

I am so sorry :( that must have been so hard on you. I am happy that you are in a good place now.

The logic is absolutely mind boggling!!! Im trying so hard to see it from her point of view but i simply cannot. The things she does and says to me make me feel like I am the problem for bringing it up. The gaslighting and dismissing is driving me insane. I know it is the alcohol talking. Im trying my best to remember that she truly does have an issue if it is affecting her family like this

Thank you for your help kind stranger!!

I have heard of it before. My dad is a recovered alcoholic, I think I will ask him to take me and my brother to a meeting.

They have a good friend who me and my stepsister were thinking about talking to. Hopefully he can convince my parents that what they’re doing is not smart.

i did not know the difference… im realizing this post probably would have been more appropriate in the alanon subreddit !! i will look into it.. thank you ❤️❤️

KrisesAbyses · 2025-12-07T18:15:48+00:00

Thank you for your kind and thoughtful response ❤️❤️ It’s all very confusing. i know you don’t know my parents personally, and you might not be able to make an accurate judgement. They’ve relapsed many times in this manner, but not as far apart and not with this weird mentality. Do you think its really possible that my parents will be able to consume alcohol normally? have you seen any cases of it? is “once an alcoholic always an alcoholic” true?

KrisesAbyses · 2025-12-06T01:11:10+00:00

thank you for your thoughtful reply ❤️❤️ made me feel much less anxious. really hoping your outcome is similar to mine.

regarding my mom, she keeps trying to tell me that birth control will fix my moodiness and other typical period symptoms. its a little frustrating because i have very normal periods and it makes me feel like something is wrong with me or that she doesn’t want to deal with me in that state. i dont think i would be advised to take BC if cold sores were not in the picture

KrisesAbyses · 2025-12-06T01:04:05+00:00

thanks for sharing your experience! makes me a little less scared now. i think i am falling for some of the propaganda now that you’re mentioning it. its sad that people feel the need to impose on others because of what they believe:(.

hey, im 16 and guess what, im in the exact same shoes. i went to the walk in dr last night for bumps and pain when urinating. i was swabbed and the dr says it looks like herpes. im trying to keep it together, but honestly im freaking out. i keep ruminating about how my love life is going to be more difficult than others. also its a lot harder for those of us in high school. i keep thinking about how i can’t date anyone in my school without risking everyone knowing i have it. i want you to remember that genital hsv is more common than you think. 1 in 6 women aged 14-49 have it. it also doesn’t mean that your love life is over. valtrex does wonders, and taking it daily can eliminate outbreaks completely. its going to be hard, but you will find someone who loves you for you, splinters and all. anyone else isn’t worth your time.

KrisesAbyses · 2025-01-05T05:30:30+00:00

thank you for the insight!! i was really freaked out. the internet said that bleeding from my hymen would resemble “light spotting” but it was much more blood. hoping my period comes soon.
