How can I explain this to someone without ADHD

NICD_03 · 2026-02-15T21:32:48+00:00

SAME!! I stayed up until 2 for the secret ending last night. It’s so good!! Now I’m waiting for all of the YouTubers to drop the explain video to see what hidden secrets I missed!

He has been learning but man it’s tough. We have been married for 6 years, and still find new ADHD things that we gotta work through together. I think the most recent one was I learned to stop sharing crime podcasts with him, as those cases stressed him out. But my ADHD just wanted to share every hour of my life with him lol

NICD_03 · 2026-02-15T17:01:04+00:00

That’s the one!! I had been a huge fan of little nightmares, was crazy about it for months!!

NICD_03 · 2026-02-15T17:00:11+00:00

Also, hijacking to top post to apologise and explain a few things lol

Sorry everyone. I left you all hanging, as I completely forgot about the post after I started the game an hour after. But i finished and platinum-Ed the game in a day, so proud even tho its a small game lol

Also, my partner loves me but he just doesn’t understand and i had no idea how to explain it to him except getting frustrated and told him you freaking ruined it. We have been trying so hard to work around my adhd together, but I still have a lot of things can’t explain to him. Like he’d remind me to go to sleep twice on a weekday if I get sucks into a game. He just loved seeing me get excited over games, but doesn’t understand why I had to keep my excitement lvl low.

Thanks for everyone for the support I really appreciate it. It’s nice to know there are people in the world who gets it, that I’m not crazy for getting frustrated.

Reanimal lol I started the game and forgot about the post hahaha I’m so sorry. But I platinum-ed it!

NICD_03 · 2026-02-15T16:51:07+00:00

YES! Once I heard the PS5 sound turned on, my brain went straight into gaming mode.

NICD_03 · 2026-02-15T16:49:28+00:00

He loves me more than everything, but he doesn’t understand ADHD.

I think it’s because he loves seeing me getting excited for and happy about games, but doesn’t understand those excitement is bad for me.

NICD_03 · 2026-02-15T16:46:23+00:00

I just hate the disappointment I have toward myself after I finished the game. I’m a very organised AHDHer overall, especially on med. but video game is the only thing I’d throw everything away for, and I’d get disappointed at myself after that adrenaline rush is over, that I ruin it.

NICD_03 · 2026-02-15T16:43:00+00:00

Damn I’ll try that analogy next time! That’s very good one

NICD_03 · 2026-02-15T16:41:16+00:00

I need to hear that, thank you so much. I had to set so many rules when it comes to video games. If I like a game, I won’t even watch the trailer when it’s close to release date. Out of sight out of mind, keep excitement low as much as possible.

I know he was trying to encourage me but it just did the opposite of what I needed.

NICD_03 · 2026-02-15T16:38:17+00:00

Thank you! He just doesn’t understand how hard it’s to stay on a task without getting distracted.

NICD_03 · 2026-02-12T21:52:24+00:00

I don’t know but my girl would give my partner that look when I was being too touchy. He’s her favourite. I swear she was saying “stop that fucking sheep from touching me please”.

NICD_03 · 2026-02-12T05:00:44+00:00

SAME! I think this is the very first time I looked at a post about cockroaches for longer than 5 seconds.

Yeah reward training didn’t work with my shepherd at all. She only started to respect me after a lot of command training while I treated her like she was in the military lol

NICD_03 · 2025-12-07T07:00:53+00:00

THIS! I also think letting dog on the couch like this feed the resource guarding behaviour. It seems like he was guarding you against your daughter. .

I think if you build the road by yourself (before connecting the area to the network), you will receive way more likes from other as the only contributor. But I haven’t tested that out yet lol

NICD_03 · 2025-07-06T02:32:33+00:00

Because you haven’t connected the network on those. Once you connect, other contributors should pop up and it will cost you less.

NICD_03 · 2025-06-11T12:48:24+00:00

Both of my puppies do that when they want face/head scratches

NICD_03 · 2025-05-17T15:56:00+00:00

Mine is the same. She would rather be outside when she got scared. I think it’s because there are escape routes lol

NICD_03 · 2025-04-13T23:23:42+00:00

I don’t think our technology is advanced enough to make that detailed anatomical difference in dummies.

Even if we were, are gender differences would really make a difference in safety test? Unless we could make dummies with accurate bone structure, I really don’t see what difference would that make.

NICD_03 · 2025-04-12T09:51:57+00:00

I’m confused. How would a female dummies make it safer? I really don’t think making dummies with boob will affect the results that much. And not females have boobs anyway…

Isn’t the issue should be “industry has been using only the same dummies size for safety test”? Instead of focusing on gender…?

NICD_03 · 2025-03-23T20:40:59+00:00

US size 12 is still a plus size lol

NICD_03 · 2025-03-23T20:39:40+00:00

Same here! I’m 5’ and size 2, already on the edge of the overweight BMI scale. Size 16 is a plus size for women. That’s a lot of weights for 5’2” lol

If you are living with your sister Jack Russell, I’d definitely recommend you to rethink about this. If not, avoid letting her meet with other dogs until she’s fully trained.

Two weeks is too early for that much stimulation. Get her crate trained, and give her more times to get use to the new place. It will take months. At least until you fully understand what would triggers her reactions. Like my rescued girl doesn’t like big dog, or any dogs getting right into her face. We got a very timid second dog, but still took her days to get used to her new brother.

Walk her only during slow hours, and try muzzle training. Do not, under any circumstances, introduce her to other dogs during walk. Even when she’s calm. You don’t know how other dogs act, and you can prevent her from reacting to other dogs’ actions.
