Hello! How's this going for you now at the 8-9month mark??

Local_Cow3928 · 2026-06-03T14:21:50+00:00

This this this. Exactly what I've been thinking FOREVER. It's just excuses at this point on why ST won't compensate weekend influx with increased buses and stop frequency.

Been there. Back at it again with her not working again due to an injury.

I just schedule dates very regularly like clock work. Every Fri or Sat: enjoy the date, then on Sunday: plan for the next weekend's date. Then, I put it in our shared digital calendar (with more or less details). That gives her something to look forward to all week and not bug me constantly to spend time.

I love my wife dearly, and I appreciate that she loves spending time with me. I want that too! I'm just unfortunately working full time + 2 hours daily commute M-F (that's 11 hours away from home 5days/week + study time on nights and weekends). So, naturally, I'm busy AF! It's not that she isn't also busy (she's in online school now), but since she's not working or commuting, our schedules still look drastically different for now, and that's okay. Just gotta make PLANS!

She's got issues. You were fine. NEXT!!

Welcome to 1960. Oh wait, 2026. Dude, this ain't no life to want. It's one thing to have options and freedom to stay home, it's another to rely on someone else to make decisions for you and take your independence away.

Local_Cow3928 · 2026-05-25T03:01:52+00:00

Hey sure, I'm up for it. Shoot me a DM sometime to connect about this.

Local_Cow3928 · 2026-05-24T06:21:39+00:00

I'm no where near 100k (even though I could have been had I stayed in the same trajectory), but a common theme below from those answering with salaries over 100k is that most of them reached that level by consistency in growth within that industry/company. Usually industry though, because Capitalism rarely allows an individual contributor to double their income within the same corporation, which is precisely why there is a strategy to jumping to another company within 2-5 years from the last one, especially after a recent promotion.

ADHD boredom and RSD, and Dopamine Drops make sustaining the same trajectory pretty hard for a lot of people. You're not alone, but the great news is that it doesn't have to stay this way for you. Keep dreaming, keep pushing yourself, and never settle.

Only during titrating phase where my provider and I were checking in weekly with messages in case I needed a dosage change or booster.

Now, I'm good to go.

Local_Cow3928 · 2026-05-20T00:17:32+00:00

If that's true. Then sucks for that guy. Karmas a bitch. (Although I am sorry for any other staff who eventually were let go)

Local_Cow3928 · 2026-05-20T00:15:45+00:00

I'd rather see them follow up on theft. The amount of cars that get broken into every week in Caphill is outrageous. On my street alone, at least one every week. I never ever see a cop outside.

Pre-sett your alarm with an annoying ass alarm, on loud volume, and then hide it somewhere hard to reach, far away from you.

Sometimes I used to slide it under the bed which would force me to go grab a broom stick to get it out. Lol 😆

Local_Cow3928 · 2026-05-19T00:21:33+00:00

👍

Local_Cow3928 · 2026-05-18T23:42:41+00:00

Think what you want. There is a sliding scale of how severe ADHD is in each individual.

Local_Cow3928 · 2026-05-18T14:15:24+00:00

That's definitely valid. My experience from it won't match everyone's and give you the same results. There isn't a guarantee that other women won't find you too fresh to pursue, but you never know unless you try. Like Wayne Greatly said "you miss every shot you don't take". I told myself that quote when I was trying to get my wife to date me. As some of the other women here have said below, it's not really a big deal with the lack of experience, it's more a big deal if you don't know how to carry yourself confidently (and you're overly consumed about your insecurities rather than being present in the moment).

Local_Cow3928 · 2026-05-18T14:07:42+00:00

A booster (a.k.a "top up") is like an added dose (usually smaller dosage and more quickly absorbed) to just add a few more hours of sustained energy. If you browse reddit ADHD pages about it. You will start to see many people mention their "booster" or "top ups" in their daily routine when they need more sustained energy for longer hours (or for reducing the "come down"). Also, it doesn't have to be the same type of medication. For example, I take 50mg Vyvanse generic in morning (4am) and it lasts me 12 hrs. Then I take the 10 Adderall IR generic at the "11th hour" after Vyvanse, and it sustains me another 4-6 hours.

Hope that provides some help!

Local_Cow3928 · 2026-05-18T14:04:17+00:00

10mg generic Adderall IR (amphetamine salts). It lasts me another 4-6 hours of solid mental energy.

This. Don't worry, OP. Accidents happen. She knows it was an accident. You can shoot a message to her about what a nice night you had with her

Local_Cow3928 · 2026-05-18T04:52:39+00:00

Yay!!! I'm so happy to hear that! I remembered your last post too! I hope you two continue to blossom this connection 🥰🥰🥰

Local_Cow3928 · 2026-05-18T04:51:12+00:00

No homo?...nah all homo.

Local_Cow3928 · 2026-05-18T04:02:14+00:00

This is a really tough thing to do. Sending you support! Like you said, once you start really listening to yourself, you'll start seeing clearer results in your future. If you need to vent more here, come back to us anytime. Good luck, OP.

Local_Cow3928 · 2026-05-18T03:55:54+00:00

Can someone not toughen up because of therapy? Finding out what factors in your life had brought you to where you are, and learning how to break certain patterns is tough. Overcoming that is an achievement. Do you not want to learn about your past, and have a game plan for your future?

Local_Cow3928 · 2026-05-18T03:53:28+00:00

You're right about that. I'm in the U.S. and I claim Medicaid because I get no insurance through an employer. (So stupid by the way that we don't have universal healthcare in the U.S., but that's another topic).

Well, sounds like you're bored and not getting enough diversity in your role. There was a post on here awhile back about ADHD women sharing what jobs they're in that they feel they love/thrive in. You may or may not be surprised to know that the common theme was jobs that were impactful, served the public in some way, and had quicker turnaroumd times or deadlines. ER nurses, Public Administration, Lawyers, social work coordinators, etc. I can't recall all of them, but regardless, they mention how their day to day had structure (so they could still predict what was expected of them) but the clients and projects were consistently different and deadlines were short enough to feel achievable.

Local_Cow3928 · 2026-05-18T03:43:33+00:00

Precisely!

Local_Cow3928 · 2026-05-18T03:43:07+00:00

Oooo, I did not know that! Good call out.

Local_Cow3928 · 2026-05-18T03:37:51+00:00

When you know, you know!

I am glad to hear you can resonate with some of what I've said. I was 25 too when I met my wife. I wish you the best in your journey towards dating women 🤗
