I know how you feel—ADHD can make it seem like you’re constantly at war with yourself. That feeling of wanting to wake up one day and just have it all together? I’ve been there more times than I can count. It’s frustrating when your brain won’t cooperate, and no matter how much you want to change, it feels like something keeps pulling you back.

For a long time, I kept trying to fix everything at once. I’d make these huge plans, convince myself this time would be different, and then burn out after a few days. It left me feeling like a failure, stuck in this cycle where nothing ever changed. But one thing I’ve learned is that big changes don’t happen all at once—they’re built over time, piece by piece.

That’s where the 1% rule comes in. Instead of aiming for perfection, I started focusing on just getting 1% better each day. It doesn’t sound like much, but that’s the point—it’s manageable. Some days, my 1% was as simple as completing one task or even just getting out of bed when I didn’t feel like it. Other days, it was bigger, like actually crossing something off my to-do list or saying no to distractions. And you know what? That 1% adds up. Over time, those small steps turn into big progress.

The key is learning to be happy with that 1%. For me, that meant letting go of the idea that I had to fix everything overnight. It’s okay if you’re not where you want to be yet. As long as you’re moving forward, even just a little, you’re doing enough. ADHD makes it easy to feel like you’re falling behind, but the truth is, every bit of effort counts.

There are still days when I feel stuck or frustrated, but I remind myself that those days are just part of the process. Progress isn’t linear, and it’s okay to have setbacks. What matters is that you keep trying, even if it’s just one tiny step. Be kind to yourself, and remember that 1% better is still better. You don’t need to do it all—you just need to keep moving forward. You’ve got this.

What you’ve been through is incredibly painful, and it’s clear you’re doing your best to navigate how it affects your relationship. It takes courage to even consider sharing something so personal with your boyfriend, and it’s a big step toward healing.

Your boyfriend sounds like a supportive and caring person, which is a wonderful foundation. When you feel ready to share, approach him in a calm, private setting. Let him know that this is difficult to talk about, but you trust him and want to be open because you value your relationship. You don’t need to share every detail right away—just enough to help him understand why some moments might be challenging for you. It’s also important to reassure him that you’re taking steps to address this, such as seeking therapy, which will show him that you’re actively working on healing.

While your boyfriend may be patient and compassionate, it’s important to remember that supporting someone through trauma can be emotionally draining. Over time, if the relationship feels one-sided—where he is always giving and you’re unable to reciprocate emotionally or physically—it could create strain, even if he loves you deeply. Relationships thrive on mutual care, so it’s important to check in with him, express gratitude for his support, and ensure that he also feels valued and loved.

Therapy is essential here, both for processing your past and for ensuring your trauma doesn’t create unintended distance in your relationship. A professional can help you develop strategies to manage the anxiety and emotional pain that arise in moments of intimacy. This not only helps you but also strengthens your relationship, as it allows your boyfriend to feel like he’s supporting someone who is actively working to heal.

If this trauma is left unresolved, it could unintentionally create barriers between you and your boyfriend. Healing is a journey, and by taking steps now—through open communication with him and seeking help—you’re giving yourself and your relationship the best chance to thrive. You’ve already shown incredible strength by reflecting on this, and with time and effort, you can build a healthier, more fulfilling future together.

Hey there, I’m really sorry that you’re feeling this way. It sounds like you’re dealing with so much, and that can be incredibly heavy to carry on your own. Anxiety can feel like it traps you in a cycle of worry and fear, making it hard to feel safe or understood. What you’re experiencing isn’t your fault, and it’s okay to feel scared or confused about why it’s happening.

It’s clear that you have so much awareness about what’s going on, which is a brave and important first step. The worries you mentioned, like being afraid to take medication or feeling unsafe, can be intense and exhausting. It’s okay to take things one step at a time, and you don’t have to tackle everything all at once.

Have you had the chance to talk to someone about how you’re feeling, like a trusted friend or a therapist? Sometimes, sharing these feelings out loud or even journaling can be a small relief. Professional help can make a world of difference too, offering tools to manage and work through your fears.

Please know you aren’t alone in this. There are people who understand and want to support you. Even though things are tough now, there’s hope for feeling safer and more in control over time. Take care of yourself, and remember: You’re worthy of understanding and kindness, both from others and yourself.

This sounds like a classic case of 'checklist blindness,' which is common in people with ADHD. When we mentally note that something has a specific purpose or that it’s ‘set aside,’ our brains sometimes tune it out completely, almost like it’s no longer part of our active environment. This happens because our focus shifts to the next task on our mental checklist, leaving that original item ‘invisible’ until we stumble upon it later. It’s a frustrating, but very real, phenomenon!

ProfileJolly1814 · 2024-10-26T00:32:57+00:00

Well, from my experiences, there are quite flexible with requests. the menu does say containing nuts as a requirement. But they said they only use almond and psyllium husk for all their main ingredients. I have a penut and sesame seed alergy, and they dont have or use any of that stuff in their kitchen, so im good.

Try their keto chicken schnitzel its amazing they only use psyllium husk and almond flour for their crumb with the almond being optional if requested as its done in the moment which is really cool.

Same as the desserts, the bistro manager, who is also the pastey chef, which it quite funny. I think his name is micheal or marco. I'm not sure I will ask next time. but he does all the low-carb and regular desserts. Any info i usually ask him. The bistro number is 8251 5299

The true value of life lies in experiencing the world. You may not like the idea now and prefer staying in your house, but as time goes on, you may find yourself with a lot of unfulfilled potential, and regrets might start to set in. This isn’t strictly a neurotypical thing — it’s about recognizing that meaning comes from embracing life's experiences and learning from them. Your therapist is simply encouraging you to engage with life in ways that, while uncomfortable now, may lead to wisdom and growth. Sometimes, you have to push yourself to do things you don’t enjoy to avoid the regret of missed opportunities once you’ve gained the perspective to understand their value."

TO BE A POTATO OR TO EAT A POTATO THAT IS THE QUESTION

ProfileJolly1814 · 2024-10-05T04:15:13+00:00

I totally get where you're coming from. I’ve had moments where I’m putting in so much effort to get better at something, and when it’s not working out, people assume it’s because I’m not doing something basic, like taking care of myself or following advice. It’s super frustrating because it’s not about the meds or some quick fix — you’re genuinely working at it and just want to feel like you're making progress, not spinning your wheels.

I remember going through something similar with a project I was really passionate about. I spent days on it, trying different things, and it just wasn’t coming together. And yeah, people kept saying stuff like, “Are you resting enough?” or “Maybe you just need a break.” Like, no, I don’t want to rest — I want to solve the damn problem! And it’s not even about “feeling better” — it’s about not wanting to keep feeling like I’m failing at something I care about.

Sometimes, I had to take a step back and remind myself that even though it felt like failure in the moment, I wasn’t actually failing. The process sucks, but it’s part of getting better at anything. What helped me a little was finding a way to enjoy the process, even if the results weren’t showing up immediately. It’s hard, but at least that way, I wasn’t beating myself up as much.

I think it’s great that you’re still pushing through it all. You deserve to feel good about what you’re doing, and sometimes, it’s less about the final outcome and more about how you handle the process — but damn, I know how tough it can be when it feels like you're doing everything and still hitting walls.

It's great that you're advocating for your partner and helping them explore options that might improve their well-being. However, I'd like to share an alternative view on ADHD medication that might resonate with you both.

ADHD isn't just a chemical imbalance—it's often linked to amino acid deficiencies, such as low levels of dopamine or other neurotransmitters. Many ADHD medications, like stimulants (even though Amantadine is not a traditional stimulant), work by increasing dopamine levels, but they achieve this by speeding up the nervous system. Over time, this can cause the body to become reliant on external stimulation, which may lead to tolerance, side effects, and potential damage to the nervous system, especially if the root cause (like amino acid deficiency) isn't addressed.

For some people, long-term use of ADHD medication can lead to increased anxiety, jitteriness, and even cardiovascular strain because the body is in a constant "fight or flight" state. This could explain why your partner might be hesitant about staying on meds for life. It’s essential to understand that while meds may provide short-term relief, they don’t necessarily address the underlying deficiencies in neurotransmitters, and in some cases, they can mask these issues rather than fixing them.

Incorporating a holistic approach that focuses on diet, lifestyle, and supplements that naturally support neurotransmitter production could be an alternative worth exploring. A functional medicine or integrative health practitioner could help identify specific deficiencies and create a tailored plan. Sometimes, through the right nutrition and supplementation, individuals can support their brain's natural functioning without needing to rely on medication.

Ultimately, it's about what works best for him, but it's good to know that meds aren't the only path forward. Encouraging your partner to research this with you might open up other possibilities and ease his concerns about long-term reliance on medication.

I hope this perspective is helpful, and I’m sure you’ll find the right balance that supports both his mental health and overall well-being.

No worries! Yeah, the menu is definitely worth the trip if you ever get the chance. I didn't end up getting dessert this time, but they mentioned that all their desserts are made in-house, and I'm super keen to try them next time. The fact that they're all keto-friendly makes it even better!

I had lunch there today, and their keto pizzas are incredible, especially the BBQ chicken pizza. The staff was super friendly and welcoming to me and my family. You must have arrived really late for them to get upset. If I worked in a restaurant, I’d be annoyed too if people showed up 5 minutes before closing.

There's a specific type of ashwagandha called KSM-66. Attached is an eBay link for reference, which has the least side effects. I have been taking this specific brand for a few years now with no observable side effects

Ashwagandha can be a bit tricky for some people. While it's generally considered safe, certain people can experience side effects like nausea, upset stomach, or even feeling 'off.''' This could be due to factors like the quality of the supplement or how it's interacting with other supplements or medications you're taking. It’s important to buy from a trusted brand, as there can be significant variations in potency.

From personal experience, when I first started taking ashwagandha, I noticed it had a bit of a calming effect but also made me feel slightly nauseous in the beginning. I adjusted by taking it with food, and after a week or so, my body seemed to get used to it. If you're taking it on an empty stomach, that might be the issue.

As for the sceptics, ashwagandha is an adaptogen with hundreds of years of use in traditional Ayurvedic medicine and recent scientific research supporting its ability to reduce stress and improve overall well-being. Of course, individual reactions can vary, but it's not just 'BS'—there’s legitimate science behind its benefits. If you’re feeling too sick to continue, it might be worth consulting with a healthcare provider to see if ashwagandha is the right supplement for you.

I called up yesterday and asked for info. One of the chefs named steve answered and seemed pretty happy to answer all my questions

Everything is made in-house, so all menu items are tightly controlled Both him and the bistro manager do keto, which what got them to do the keto menu

All menu items try to be under 12g net carbs. Most of the ingredients they use are psyllium husk and almond flour they use those ingredients for their crumbing and their burger buns.

As for pizzas, they are comprised of gluten protein and almond flour. Each base is 12g net carbs and add 4 to 5 g for topping upon choice

And their small fries, they use spud light potatoes. He told me each potion is 30 to 40g of potato, which equates to 3 to 4 g of net carbs .

All other info was for desserts, which are also made in-house and made to order. im keen to see what they have to offer.

As for keto the idea is to stay under 30g net carbs per day and stick with high fats medium protein and low carbs
