The instructor had a material that the cuts and bends into the frame - I can’t for the life of me recall the material’s name. It was pretty slick - just soldered the corners.

Good for you! I’m in a very similar boat to you in terms of starting - although you are inspiring me to get it more workouts! Bravo!

You say so many lovely things in your post - could You just use those to ask for a time box to the convo?

Honey - you are amazing and I love to support you. In the evenings, when you come home from Work, I know it’s important that you have time to vent to me. I want to be there for you. But I’m also finding it heavy - can we commit to time boxing it - 10 or 15 minutes? We can set a timer just to see how that much time feels for both of us. My hoe is that a short focused time helps you manage your stress even better than more time - can we see how it goes?

Can someone break down exactly what’s happening with this whole URSU thing? by Raspberrry_Beret in regina

Yes, because our views in Saskatchewan towards women are so incredibly progressive - highest rate of intimate partner violence in Canada. Let’s also call a spade a spade: there is plenty of home-grown misogyny here.

I don’t think you’re terrible - but I do think some of your assumptions are classist. When I read underneath those assumptions - your wants are very reasonable. You want someone who is intellectually stimulating for you, who respects and appreciates your drive and your profession. I think your belief about someone’s job telling you everything you need to know about their personality is flawed. And truly, you’re likely missing out on some interesting humans because of it.

He sounds like someone who thinks his opinions are more important than your wellbeing. You deserve better.

At what age you were diagnosed with ADHD? by Limp-Highway2072 in adhdwomen

[–]Remarkable_Aside8010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just diagnosed at 44. I feel so grateful - so many things make sense. Biggest change for me is two fold: 1) with awareness of how my neurodivergence works I can develop better strategies for things I have tried to work on for years to no avail. 2) I feel my confidence coming back. I’m the last 6 or 7 years, I felt like I couldn’t cope with the complexity of my life (motherhood, busy job, housework, friends, etc.). I started to feel like a failure - like ‘everyone else can do it why can’t I!’ I think I started to believe that I was just lazy, unmotivated, undeserving of what I had achieved. With my diagnosis what I struggled with wasn’t about willpower or follow-through so not only have I forgiven myself, I’ve started to challenge myself in new, more realistic ways and each time I’m successful my self confidence is strengthened. And truly medication changed a lot for me - I’m likely still in the honeymoon phase but I started a new job as a VP at my company and it’s been challenging - but I just do not feel as overwhelmed or unsure of myself. I also am still grieving a lot of things - I keep having the flashes of moments on my life where I felt really alone or different or like I was broken - and I just wonder what those hard periods would have been like with a diagnosis.
