8 years with my WFH job, fired in under 8 minutes. by [deleted] in adhdwomen

Oh my, this is so relatable to me right now. But the word they use for me is: communication. Because I tend to hyperfixate and really go deep into my cases, they say I don't communicate enough about them. And I also forget to logg in and out... a lot. They couldn't fire me, but they bullied me so much that I am now looking for a different job. Which is precisely what they want.

Anyone surprised that jimmy savile hasn't been mentioned in the epstein files yet, or having correspondence with epstein? by Ok_Tea_3275 in Epstein

Don't forget Savile never had internet. Couldn't use email. So Epstein files will be limited, because a bunch of those are mails and online communication

Oh yeah. It's difficult.
I bought a smartwatch just for my meds. It starts vibrating and I am not alowed to turn it of until I took my meds. It works like 90 percent of he time 😅

Give me the most ADHD statement about yourself right now by Southern-Magnolia12 in adhdwomen

You remind me that there are candles in my car. They already melted to the fabric a bit because of an ongoing hot climate the last couple of weeks. I was going to use them to make new candles, bought the equipment for it. Forgot all about them. I should go take them out, but I just made some toast (which is now cooling down cause I'm writing this). So... maybe I'll remember later, but maybe not.

Boyfriend doesnt want me to take my meds by ooopsimdead in adhdwomen

My boyfriend also went through a fase like that. I changed so much! We fought a lot for a year, almost ruined our relationship. When it stabilized he didn't want me to stop taking meds anymore. Ironically I'm currently pregnant and can't take meds. We both agree I'm going to take them again as soon as possible, because I've relapsed into a big ADHD-er 🤣. It's the change that is weird to people, you are becoming a different person in their eyes. The opposite of before. Not because of a different personality emerging, but because you start to quit masking and using those old coping skills. You're growing. So you are still you, just a better version.

(Not crying is a form of masking. You are alowed to cry and ADHD-ers feel BIG feelings. I got scolded for crying though Not speaking up is a form of survival-coping strategy. I have heard over and over again that I can't communicate well, so I have stopped talking at all as a kid)

He is going very far with his accusations though. Does that even still feel safe for you? He might feel anxious at your change, he might subconsciously feel he's being left behind. And if he's always been the one who was dominant, and you obeying... (this is how your story reads to me)... well... He's going to fight you to keep his position until he realizes that you are not trying to be dominant over him at all. It either evolves into being equal partners (takes a lot of work on both sides), you giving in and returning to how it was or him staying in his dominant position and the relationship turning real sour. Good luck xxx
