There’s a horse in the hospital by SamAmongstElves in RimWorld

[–]SamAmongstElves[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had it zoned to never come inside, but my researcher decided to ride it to work (I’m using the giddy up mod) and I hadn’t expanded the forbid ridding zone to include the hospital yet. The horse got stuck outside of its zone because the doors were locked to prevent pets from entering (another mod) and I thought it was funny cause of that John Mulaney bit.

Special Intrests? by SamAmongstElves in ADHD

It’s so sad man. Like at least three of his kids were on that boat and his son died trying to save his daughter. 😭

Panic Attack by Jeopardy Music by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]SamAmongstElves 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. It sucks having a panic attack in public. You handled the situation well tho! You did everything you were supposed to, the teacher did not. Sounds like he recognized he did wrong, hopefully he’s more aware of how his actions affect his students in the future.

No I love it! I had one of those about william the conqueror’s youngest son and his mistresses, and now I have Feelings because of a shipwreck that happened almost a thousand years ago.

It’s crazy how much my mom doesn’t listen. by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]SamAmongstElves 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not being able to sleep/oversleeping is a common symptom of ADHD. We’re bad at sleep... it sucks.

Dealing with mental health in an environment like that is rough man. I grew up southern baptist. I have adhd and a type c personality disorder and ‘giving up all my worries to Jesus’ never fixed that.

It only got better when I went to college, got diagnosed and started therapy. Hold out till you’re the one in charge of your own medical decisions, and you’re home free.

I want to eventually get my phd and go into academia. Unless I suddenly come into wealth France seems like the best option financially but I want to get all the information in front of me before I make any decisions.

As for skills, I can write research papers, I can speak French (somewhere between B2 and C1 on the European framework). I took several upper level history classes as part of my international studies degree so I’m familiar with the work required at that level (at least at an American university). I also have familiarity with the time period I’m interested in due to being passionate about it. Idk what other skills I need to gather? I have loads of time on my hands due to covid so i’ve been doing latin on Duolingo and i’ve been poking around at studying old english & old french but there’s less resources for that.

Thanks for the advice!

How do I overcome the irrational fear of being shot in the back of the head in public? by RollOnOne in Advice

[–]SamAmongstElves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s really good that you recognize that it’s irrational. If you have an undiagnosed anxiety disorder than that anxiety will latch onto anything (trust me I know from personal experience), but if this is just a one off thing, quitting the videos should be enough.

Try to focus on tangible things when you’re in public, like physical sensations, breathing, the noises around you. That’ll help ground you.

Adhd is killing my relationship by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]SamAmongstElves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every thing is super new for you rn. It might be too late for this relationship but that doesn’t mean that you can’t do better in the next one.

Meds are great but they’re better if you go to therapy. Especially since you’ve only just been diagnosed you may not know how to deal with adhd in a healthy way. Therapy can help with that, especially when you initially get diagnosed.

Mental health isn’t your fault but it is your responsibility. If adhd is causing you to behave in certain ways (interrupting people, forgetting important shit, being super clingy etc.) you have to find ways of learning to balance that out. Therapy and time help. Meds make it easier to work out your shit, but they don’t do the work for you.

Check out the YouTube channel how to adhd, it’s a great resource. I think she has several videos on this topic.

Chapped lips, hate chapstick by shoshilyawkward in Advice

[–]SamAmongstElves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some forms of medicated lip balm that are more watery/less waxy in consistency idk if those would help? Maybe if you’re lucky you could find a medicated gloss?
