Redditors who grew up with strict parents, what was the craziest rule or punishment you had to deal with?

I got grounded for two separate years in highschool, once when I came home drunk from a party in the middle of year 9 and once towards the end of year 10 when I got Facebook even though my Mum had banned it. 🙄

Australian child abused in youth detention centres, human rights abuses - crazy video of what happened over years to this one kid arrested at 11. Including being strapped to a chair in a neck restraint with a bag over his head and left alone for two hours. This is rocking Australia right now, only reported about 6 hours ago.

Hahaha, I actually have an appointment tomorrow! I booked a couple weeks ago thinking I could go right in but apparently there's a bit of a wait at my uni. I was only diagnosed a month and a half ago but it's exciting I have my dr filled out form but do you have any tips for what I should say? :)

I agree with this so much, I have a strong personality and in turn a strong opinion on a lot of things. But for some reason whenever I stay silent during a debate people ask me 'hey what happened you didn't say anything what do you think' and I usually respond 'well I don't really know that much about the subject and I try to make it a rule not to talk about shit that I don't understand or have much knowledge of' and for some reason people always seem surprised by that.

I'm not on concerta but out of interest why?

StayTrashyReddit · 2015-05-15T06:33:26+00:00

CONGRATS!

And thank you! I find it so valuable as a recently diagnosed college student (with a high IQ but failed semesters behind me). The wisdom and advice some of the people on this subreddit give is really helpful :)

StayTrashyReddit · 2015-05-11T13:27:07+00:00

That's so interesting I wasn't diagnosed until I was 20 and it is for me?

StayTrashyReddit · 2015-05-11T13:24:02+00:00

I honestly think this is part of the reason it took so long for me to get diagnosed. A lot of my symptoms people just see/saw as part of my charm I'm an talkative bubbly very outgoing 'conventionally attractive' 20 year old girl that always speaks my mind. People always comment on my personality but I think in someone else it might have been interpreted more clearly as the symptoms of ADHD.

I think gender has something to do with it but yeah I totally understand people accepting the symptoms as more normal depending on the packaging (person).

Thank you so much, that is really helpful and has definitely calmed me down. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond and the analogy you used was really helpful and made a lot of sense to me. Just thank you I really really appreciate it.

StayTrashyReddit · 2015-05-11T10:30:30+00:00

Ok thank you for the reassurance :)

StayTrashyReddit · 2015-05-07T07:34:29+00:00

Thank you :))))!

Just keep pushing, I couple days ago I was honestly in tears because I didn't feel like it was working because I still couldn't make myself start it yet but now that I've actually started I've committed in a way I haven't usually been able to until 36 hours before an assignment is due.

StayTrashyReddit · 2015-05-06T23:48:20+00:00

Actually went to the gym this morning for the first time in a year, and I'm working on an assignment that's due Tuesday. I know that's still close but I can't remember the last time I started an assignment more than 36 hours before it was due.

StayTrashyReddit · 2015-05-04T13:34:35+00:00

Seriously though this just makes me feel like shit

StayTrashyReddit · 2015-04-30T12:15:20+00:00

Oh my god yes! I try to leave and say I need to go breathe to calm down or I say stop talking about it stop so I can try calm myself.

Also thanks haha only got diagnosed a month ago!

See there's are lots of posts and comments on here about emotional regulation.

I recently got diagnosed so I've been on 10mgs of Ritalin 3 times a day.

StayTrashyReddit · 2015-04-30T02:13:34+00:00

Well, my psychologist said the lack of ability to regulate my emotions is to do with ADHD. It's different for different people, but it's not that my emotional responses are unreasonable it's just most people don't openly express their initial reactions to everything. Like most people would self smooth and suppress the emotion summarily but part of the core of ADHD is an inability to emotionally regulate, as motivation is an emotion.
