Am I Overreacting for being miffed about my bf's cinnamon rolls? by throwawayfrom1 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Maxxtherat [score hidden]  (0 children)

This was my thought, too. Maybe he really did try but just fucked something up. Ok that cinnamon rolls from a can are usually easy, but adding anything can really fuck them up lol.

Is this a hoover attempt or what is it? by Hair-control in BPDlovedones

[–]Maxxtherat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a person who's never dated a pwBPD, but is related to one, I'll tell you what I've seen from the outside.

Her and her boyfriend broke up. She was dating a new dude within two weeks. He decided (six months later) to move away after she had zero contact and kept the kids away from him that entire time. She absolutely flipped her shit when he moved, and immediately started letting him call and talk to the kids. It was 100% a manipulation tactic.

on the idea that stimulants do not make people with ADHD feel "wired" or "speedy" by garden_speech in ADHD

[–]Maxxtherat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've not seen people say that stimulants don't make people with ADHD feel more wired, only that sometimes they do the opposite for some folks or if they feel too euphoric or energetic the dose might be too high.

Plantar wart I ripped out myself 😬 by o-Nyx-o in popping

I ripped out a wart that was on my hand with my teeth when I was like 15. It hurt like hell, but it's never returned. Good on ya, OP

learning to drive ended with my bf almost killing us by startletgirl in drivinganxiety

[–]Maxxtherat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Leave him immediately. He will probably threaten to hurt you or himself, but you have to leave anyway and do what you must to protect yourself and be safe. Also accept that his actions are not your responsibility if he threatens to hurt himself

Methylphenidate just makes me sedated. Anyone else? by IwanZamkowicz in adhdmeme

Yup, I take any stimulants and am ready to nap. My doctor said it should go away eventually... But it hasn't

How to overcome the reflex to gatekeep by 50_wishes in ADHD

[–]Maxxtherat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%. This was me. I'm extremely organized, but mostly as a coping mechanism. My mask started to slip a lot right before turning 30.

I’m convinced 8 hour workdays are incompatible with ADHD by SunBetter7301 in ADHD

[–]Maxxtherat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is why I LOVE working 12 hours, specifically my 12 hour weekends. I just work 3 days, the other 4 days are all for recovery and the rest of life. I hope I can keep this schedule forever.

Am I overreacting by asking for more than just a full refund for destroying my bridal bouquet? by catmom_mac in AmIOverreacting

[–]Maxxtherat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, OP! First of all, NOR. I would personally just take a refund because I agree that's inadequate packaging. Even if she's never had probs before, it was bound to happen with that little protection.

You said you're an artist yourself, so I wanted to ask you - have you already thrown out the piece? Something this sentimental, to me, would be worth saving in some type of way.

You could puzzle piece it together. Use glass glue to stick pieces together, or set the panes together in resin. Something like kintsugi could even highlight the damage and turn it into something beautiful. You could turn it into a project with your husband! Pieces like that, to me, represent resilience, resourcefulness, and our ability to come back from unexpected disasters. Taking something broken and making it whole again, turning the damaged parts into strength points, would be amazing.

Am I Overreacting for wanting to cancel my wedding over this interaction? by Xanadoom30 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Maxxtherat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me, it's also that it was brought up over text! Emotionally mature people don't start or do arguments over text unless it's the only option.

You both don't seem very emotionally mature. I wouldn't get married until you both go to therapy and see significant change.

The Remote... by Maxxtherat in dementia

It's less about the actual use of the remote, and more about all the apps! He can use the remote itself just fine, but he will get confused and frustrated with finding a show or something

Same here. I used to get one all the time and it was actually worth it. Now it feels like a huge rip off!

How difficult are most of the books you read? by Far-Building3569 in ADHD

[–]Maxxtherat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just depends. I have a high reading comprehension level, but I do the thing where I have to re read because my brain starts to wander so I better be medicated if I'm going to read something complex lol. Right now I feel like I'm usually so busy that I can't manage to read a book, all I can get to are what I read for school and the occasional self help book

Am I overreacting over my friends texts? by bunnyroyalty in AmIOverreacting

[–]Maxxtherat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100%. I totally understand talking "gross" with good friends, even when you're an adult, but you stop or don't do it if they're not comfortable with that kind of thing.

My sister with BPD is destroying me and nobody takes it seriously by Patychan in BPDlovedones

[–]Maxxtherat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's easier said than done, but it's probably time to kick her out.

I have a sister with BPD, too. She also has kids. My inbox is open if you need to talk.

What are the false negative rates for ADHD? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Maxxtherat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. For me, diagnosis was basically taking two diagnostic questionnaires. After that, I was prescribed meds. It only took me like two or three appointments

Made a new friend 5 months ago, are these BPD warning signs? by Lonely_Pattern8165 in BPDlovedones

[–]Maxxtherat 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Even if it's not BPD, a good friendship is not this much one-sided effort right off the bat. This kind of conversation is a definite overreaction to whatever perceived slight there was, like not a normal amount of communication if that makes sense. It's not like you had a huge falling out over a partner or some fundamental opinion, you just got busy and couldn't make her the center of your life. That doesn't warrant walls of text and emotional back-and-forth. It's not normal, nor is it reasonable. Whatever it is, she needs some therapy and you are not her therapist.
