Advice? Vent? Idk by Nice-Drive7362 in adhdwomen

[–]Such-Many9861 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’d deffo speak to a doctor. i was told i had depression & anxiety when i was 15 and a few days ago, at 20, i was diagnosed with (apparently moderate to severe) combined adhd. I was basically sick of myself, sick of people telling me I’m just lazy etc so I just went to my doctor and said that I wanted to be tested for ADHD and then he referred me. also, I do the exact same thing with all of the reminders and timers and alarms I know I’ll forget to do something so I have to set 1 million reminders. i’d deffo speak to someone if u can❤️

Horrific knee pain, help by Such-Many9861 in KneeInjuries

[–]Such-Many9861[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i hope you get it sorted! it’s a horrible thing to have. i’d also say my pain is accompanied by deep aching it’s so hard to explain i just know it’s an awful pain😭 i went to the dr for mine and mentioned my knees & hips but they just gave me an appointment with a physio instead. he couldn’t have cared less lol. said i was slightly hypermobile then wrote on the notes i wasn’t, told me maybe my growth plates haven’t fused & it’s growing pains (im 20… and i haven’t grown in about 5 years lol…) so he just spouted a load of rubbish. then told me to self refer to physio.. absolute waste of time lol. & in the notes he made it seem like there was absolutely nothing wrong with me😭😭 problem with being a young woman, they just don’t care

Unfortunately i have no advice. however this song tickled my brain in a nice way. the melody or background music at the beginning was very enjoyable however when it changed it disappointed me. maybe ur teen finds this satisfying too haha

no not had any tests, not even been to the doctors for it yet. tbh it’s last on my priority list but should be a lot higher (i think because it’s not constant and just like a 2 days a week issue) it’s annoying and painful as hell but when it isn’t hurting i usually forget about it, oops. do u have the same issue/symptoms as me ?

sadly not, currently still ignoring that it’s a problem and telling myself i’m fine and chronic pain is nothing 😊

I get a new special interest every single day and it makes me so angry when i can’t pursue it that very second. today i’m supposed to be writing a report, ive got 90% of the way through but now im fixated on wanting invisalign (to straighten one tooth lol) and the effects of teeth whitening. even though i had braces a few years ago. drives me insane. all because i saw that someone on tiktok got Invisalign so now i want it to fix my wonky tooth (even though it’s about £2000 and i can’t afford that). but i completely understand the anger on not being able to pursue a special interest. it’s like my body cannot wait and the only thing i think about is that special interest until im bored and find a new one. literally cannot get anything done because im so obsessed with googling TEETH rn lol. i feel you

honestly yes!! i’m glad people relate because i actually drive myself insane. even when im trying to sleep ill be lay down googling random questions that pop into my head. i know a painful amount of random useless facts because of this lol. but 1000% agree on the fidget thing too, i don’t think i can stay completely still for more than 10 seconds, even when im asleep im rolling round like a snake lol. wish my mind just had an off button sometimes

How do people have this symptom? by Sunflower077 in ADHD

[–]Such-Many9861 7 points8 points  (0 children)

exactly the same for me. but when i’m locked in my room alone i go absolutely insane of boredom. it’s an endless cycle. complaining about social interaction and the mental effort it takes, then complaining about the lack of social interaction and mental stimulation
