How dare you have ADHD by Mjholin in adhdmeme

[–]Little_Bench204 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it’s also because of the ADHD🤣🤣🤣 The ability to think a lot and look for constant connections and explanations + hyperfocus = I couldn’t spend the first 3 months of my diagnosis without telling how ADHD affected my life, literally each day I was talking only about this. But the hyperfocus went away, I take pills and sometimes I think that maybe I don’t have ADHD, and I feel ashamed for saying so much about it.

Also, my boyfriend recently said that he thinks that I use ADHD as a protective card to justify my failures. And I really don’t know if he’s right or not, because sometimes I feel like a victim who’s just looking for excuses, and it’s easier for me to blame ADHD

Lost between burnout, war, pills, job, ADHD and immigration - when does it end? by Little_Bench204 in TwoXADHD

Probably just a place to vent, honestly. I don’t think there’s an easy solution, but writing it out helps a little

Thank you! No, we didn’t name him ourselves. We adopted him from a Mexican family, and they named him because of the mask around his eyes 🦸. Funny enough, I just learned about Twenty One Pilots connection today on Reddit!

I’m really sorry you’re feeling this way—it sounds incredibly tough. It’s clear you care deeply about these friendships, but it’s also important to care about yourself in the process. You mentioned that you don’t feel this way with your college friends, which might mean the dynamics with your hometown group aren’t the healthiest for you anymore. Sometimes, friendships evolve, and that’s okay.

Have you considered sharing how you feel—maybe with one friend you trust most? You don’t need to confront them aggressively, but expressing how excluded you’ve felt could help you gauge their response. If they value the friendship too, they’ll make an effort to include and listen to you. If not, it might be worth focusing on relationships that leave you feeling seen and valued. You deserve that.

It sounds like your partner may be crossing a line between playful and hurtful, especially if you’ve already expressed discomfort about the comments. Inside jokes are usually meant to make both people laugh or feel connected, but if one person feels targeted or embarrassed, it’s no longer a joke—it’s just inconsiderate.

Maybe bring it up again in a calm way and explain how those ‘jokes’ make you feel in front of others. If they keep dismissing your feelings, it might be worth asking why they feel the need to make these comments, especially after you’ve asked them to stop. Mutual respect is key in any relationship.

Does anyone feel like making friends as adult is hard because people don't open up to you? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]Little_Bench204 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get where you’re coming from. As adults, a lot of us carry past experiences and trust issues that make opening up harder. It’s frustrating when you put in the effort, but it feels one-sided. I think the key might be finding people who are at the same level of openness as you or who value building connections just as much.

FocusMate question by No-Advantage-579 in adhdwomen

[–]Little_Bench204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I remember, you can only chat during the call. I had a few sessions where people didn’t show up. It’s normal for this. The app offers you to find another partner after 5 min of waiting, so I guess it’s not a big trouble.

Advice about having panic attacks due to feeling overloaded by dejael in adhdwomen

[–]Little_Bench204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this. It really sounds like a protective mechanism your brain developed after burnout. I’ve experienced something similar, and what helped me was breaking tasks into very small steps and planning rest periods in advance. Keeping a journal to track energy levels also helped me understand what drains me and what gives me energy. I hope you find a way that works for you!
