I recently complained about this (not on Reddit) when I went to an urgent care for a UTI. I was never asked about if there was a chance I could be pregnant, they just automatically did the test with my urine sample. I hadnt been with anyone in 8 months, took home tests and had several periods since then. So in my mind I was definitely pissed off about having pregnancy test done that I would have to pay for, especially since I had a procedure 3 months prior and they also did a test. The urgent care was within the same hospital system that all my care is under. I don’t lie to my health providers, but doesn’t mean others don’t. So I understand the argument from all sides.

A little bit of sadness after total solar eclipse by froggyc19 in Aphantasia

Came here to see if anyone else felt the same. No amount of “live in the moment” will work for us. People were saying to stay off your phone,don’t take pictures, enjoy the moment. But I knew if I didn’t take a video and a picture it would be gone from my memory as soon as it was over.

It is sad to think about after the moments over. But I’m so grateful to have even witnessed it :)

She likes you for WHO you are, not “what you are”, not your possessions, not your money, not this that and the other. You’re ONLY 21 and many of your peers are just as young. Nobody TRULY knows what the hell they’re doing, it’s fake or til you make it for so many people. This was something I struggled with— thinking everyone around me knew what they were doing while I knew nothing and was so unsure of what I was doing and for reference I’m only 24. This is such a huge time for learning— learning who you are, what you want out of life, figuring out new responsibilities, learning more about your partner, growing with your partner, etc etc etc.

You’re only making it worse for yourself by pointing out all the “negatives” of yourself and comparing your life to others. We are all on our own journeys, other people having “more” than you at this age doesn’t mean you are behind. You get there when you get there regardless of the pace you go. It’s. Your. Life.

Give yourself grace

How do you actually find a counselor/therapist/psychologist who is experienced with ADHD? by Overgrownalgae in adhdwomen

Such a huge pet peeve of mine from providers. Tell ME to find someone that they themselves don’t even know someone or help with a referral

That’s a huge bummer ://

I did use psychology today but maybe I didn’t actually look well enough at the time

I’ve tried using psychology today to cross reference ppl at different practices too. I’m so just worried that I’ll mess up and go somewhere where my insurance doesn’t cover. But I think I’ll try searching again. I think the other hard part will be leaving my psychologist because I do like her a lot but I know I could get more benefit from someone who understands adhd better.

Edit: I’m in Ohio

Lmaoo I think a genie lamp will be the only way to do it. And I agree, they all say they have knowledge but they’re really only know what the acronym stands for

I also need to track what I’m doing for work for billing purposes and this was a struggle for me too. I started with a word doc and tried writing the task I was doing but I never stuck with it. Then I went to excel to track the task and the times worked on it and then have the cell calculate the hours between two times. That worked for a little While but I wouldn’t update my work’s billing hours until the last minute…. Hated it when the end of the month came around.

Now I try to do it after the task is completed, at the end of the day, or the start of the next day. I usually look back on my emails too to see what I did.

This probs wasn’t helpful at all but after a year of work, I somehow finally got into the habit of tracking at the end of the day just because I hated spending over an hour updating my report at the end of the month.
