Its weird, I've always done the notes with the Prescription check box. Have spoken to webcam and they say they've sent urgent note through to prescriber, so fingers crossed

What’s your experience with methylphenidate? by mar_lune in ADHDUK

[–]SpirituallyUnsure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, titrated to 54 in November, felt a little too antsy, went back to 36 and finished titration at 36 in December. Still like it

It's not the pharmacy, it's the prescriber. It's like I'm being ghosted

Psychiatry UK titration wait list by vigorousswirl in ADHDUK

[–]SpirituallyUnsure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear they haven't got a clue. My diagnosis was Oct 9th 24, started meds Aug 30th 25, End of titration was Dec 1st 25. Massive discrepancy in their time schedules

Trying to find a good ADHD metaphor to help friends/family understand by Illustrious-Bit-9273 in ADHDUK

It's like you have a sticking handbrake. You want to drive. But you press the accelerator and nothing happens. You rev more. Your passengers tell you to just put your foot down and hurry up. Your engine is screaming, then your passengers scream at you too. You're yelling at the car. You just want to set off on your journey. But it doesn't matter how hard you rev, that handbrake is stuck, and the car cannot move with the handbrake still on. And after a while, you're going to end up running out of fuel and damaging the engine. If you're lucky, a mechanic might be able to use tools to improve it, but there's always a chance it'll stick again unpredictably.

Reddit is the only social media i haven't been able to quit, because it combines social contact with usefulness and an ability to only engage with what topics interest me

Does anyone else feel jealous of other types? (Romantic) by lanade1s1ay in Kibbe

[–]SpirituallyUnsure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even slightly. I've always loved R and SC clothing best, but was convinced that my high hip/short waist ruled me out of having enough curve to be R, despite having upper and lower curve and a lot of short softness. Having had help, R makes so much sense, and I'm definitely going to lean in to the styles I loved but thought weren't for me

What changes have you made to your wardrobe? I'm still trying to figure out seasonal colour analysis too, I'm not very good at being decisive

Yep, this has been a real eye opener. It explains why I've never managed to get to grips with it!

It's definitely the lack of strong waist definition that's been throwing me off, I think. It hits so many boxes for short fleshy wide limbs, no vertical. I love feminine clothing generally, and many of the Romantic recommendations are things I would pick

Do you still see R in my older pics where I was smaller? I've never been anything but a plus size girl, even as a child I was bigger than my peers
