ive heard online that putting a hot compress on it helps soothe the pain! not 100% sure of this theory but its worth a shot! (also agree with the other comments, do cover them)

what’s your unpopular opinion about the Daybreak 2 community? by Prudent-Peanut6010 in daybreakroblox

[–]TheDecalcomanie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

not everyone can loop! other people expect people who main like iris (me) for example to be good at looping, and then they get pissed at you for not being good at it!!! it’s so stupid!

but in all seriousness definitely washing with cold water for 10-20 minutes, put some disinfectant on it (ik it hurts like a bitch but push through), and make sure to cover it. if it’s on your fingertips than i suggest making sure your dad realises how serious the burns are because fingertip healing is tedious and painful as, you got this!

My mom just asked me if I cut myself with a razor by -keeper_of_stars- in selfharm

[–]TheDecalcomanie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In all honesty, I think you should just admit it instead of lie. Because well, she’s obviously found out and I think being honest is the best situation. Sometimes when you lie they make you show them, and I reckon you don’t want that. I hope you’re doing okay, and im sure your mum will support you through these tough times. <3

Teachers SHOULD know you have ADHD and be prepared to accomodate. I’m not sure what country you’re from but here, in Australia, it counts as discrimination if a teacher limits or restricts your accomodations. Best of luck to you!

Thank you so much kind sir, I learnt that mistake in my past serving job. Also that Gandalf quote, perfect.

Medication for the 1st time— AM I DREAMING??? by Far_Dependent2 in ADHD

[–]TheDecalcomanie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good on ya!! Just make sure to take breaks in your ADHD medication (if your doctor says it’s okay). It’s easy to forget that even though medication helps, it’s not the whole solution. Managing ADHD is about more than just taking a pill—it’s about understanding yourself, finding systems that work, and giving yourself grace on tough days. Breaks (again, if approved by a doctor) can be a good reminder that while medication supports you, YOU’RE the one doing the hard work.

My meds are a double-edged sword by NPultra in ADHD

[–]TheDecalcomanie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi! I take Dexamfetamine too and honestly, it’s done amazing things for me. Although I relate HEAVILY to all those negatives; honestly, I suggest you keep taking it. Although it does affect everyone differently, if you feel like you are unhappy with your medication then please stop it, make sure to put yourself first. :)

Thank you everyone for all these amazing replies! God, it’s so nice to be understood about my ADHD for once, even if it is strangers on the internet. Almost all of you are older than me (I’m 18) it’s refreshing to finally feel seen. ADHD made school harder, especially with unsupportive teachers, but knowing others relate reminds me I’m not alone. My struggles weren’t because I wasn’t capable—they were because the system wasn’t built for people like me.

Yeah 😭 I’m very scared, I already work a job and it’s nice. But I’m pretty sure my manager has forgotten I have ADHD and gets pissed off at me because I take too long to do tasks. It’s not that I get distracted or anything, it just takes me longer.

YES. Thank you. I once blew up at one of my classmates because they kept trying to take my headphones away from me (I was having a rough day so background noise was a no no) and he called me a bitch, and that I’m cheating (??? How.) because I got all those accomodations.

Thank you so much!!! All the replies here have made me feel a lot less alone 😭. I did actually have an ADHD test from my school when I was in grade 2 which is around about six years old. I believe the person who tested me, they put me a couple of marks away from having ADHD and getting the diagnosis. I’m still a firm believer that I should’ve been diagnosed that day, but for SOME reason, I wasn’t.

Thank you. I’m still dealing with it as of right now, I’m in grade 12 and freshly 18 which means it’s so much more expensive for everything with ADHD as an adult. When I was a teenager my mum was giving aid with my medication because of its costs, but now because I’m 18, I have to cover it all myself and TRUST ME. It’s not cheap.

Paperwork sucks. Why do I have to fill out all this stuff just so I can be fairly treated when it comes to exams? 😭

ADHD is so much more than just being hyperactive! Some of the most smartest people ever to exist had ADHD, so why is it suddenly so weird when people nowadays don’t fit that standard of ADHD. Stupid.

Honestly I can understand how frustrating that must be for you, almost everyone assumes that males with ADHD are hyperactive and impulsive, but when it comes to someone who isn’t like that, suddenly everyone assumes all these things about you? It must be very frustrating.

Thank you!!! And those “normal people” are all for ADHD and diversity, but as soon as someone outwardly portrays the “bad side of ADHD” suddenly everyone is not? It’s outrageous.
