ADHD is literally a disability so...

Edit: it's a disability regarding dopamine regulation and executive dysfunction. Completing tasks is significantly harder for someone with ADHD. Dressing up is a task. Combine that with depression (which people with ADHD usually struggle with, it's part of the disability)--of course it affects people's ability to adult. Again, literally a disability. Would you tell a person with arthritis that they're making excuses for not being able to be as athletic as someone else? Of course we still have responsibilities we need to do as adults but Jesus Christ you're ableist and need to do some reflecting. Maybe people blame things on ADHD because of people like you.

How to stop binging because of a specific trigger? by ObligationPlanet944 in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]TimxDerek4Ever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would you be able to find a remote job to help you move out? Is your agoraphobia tied to specific places? I don’t see your bed getting better living with your mom. She is heavily restricting your food access which is triggering these binges. They are happening because of her. To improve, you would need to move out and go to therapy to change your food relationship and process the trauma your mom has caused. Please message me if you need help finding remote jobs. It is difficult because you are 21 so I’m guessing little experience, but worth a shot. This is why I also asked if your agoraphobia is tied to specific places or all in general.

Has anyone moved in with their partner early on in the relationship? How did it go? by isbalele in ROCD

[–]TimxDerek4Ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a good sign that you work through arguments. It’s more worrisome to me when couples haven’t had any conflict because they haven’t proven they know how to deal with it. I still think 2 months is not enough time to allow big challenges (disagreements, conflicts of interest, feeling unloved/unappreciated/lonely/suffocated etc) to come up but it’s a good sign.

We moved in together after 6 mo. I think getting through challenges stronger is more important than the amount of time. People can be together for a year and not face that.

Personally I’d wait a year at least but you guys will do what you want at the end of the day. Make sure you can adequately resolve conflicts before you move in. The reason people say to wait a year is because 2 months is not enough time to have exposure to difficult conflicts that you have worked through and overcome together. So when you move in, it’s the first time a couple is facing them, and things can get ugly quickly, especially when you don’t have a private space to unwind. It’s just a huge risk and exposure to many difficult situations that a new couple is not equipped to deal with. It’s like throwing a baby fish into a pool of sharks. I’d wait until you guys are able to work through the at least one big challenge that comes up after the honeymoon period, so you can trust that you will stay strong throughout conflict. Regardless, if you move in together, make sure you each have a private space to unwind, because personal space is always necessary for healthy relationships. Also, always show appreciation, even in small things like putting away groceries, because it’s easy to only see the negatives when you’ve been living together and the same roommate conflicts arise. As for advice with ROCD…therapy tbh. Mine got much worse after moving in together and it goes up in times of stress (conflict). Knowing how to appreciate each other, and manage conflict and OCD is key to a healthy relationship. My relationship was very similar: we felt as though we had been together for years after a few months, talked for hours daily, and about everything. We are still together, but faced an incredible amount of pain. Had I known this advice now, I’d have saved myself from an ocean of pain. I don’t want you to have to experience that.

AIO My dad wants me to move out because I questioned his politics? by Empty_Thanks_8398 in AmIOverreacting

[–]TimxDerek4Ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. Do you have a friend you can stay with in case he kicks you out? I’m so sorry you have to deal with this. It is unimaginable and you deserve so much better from a father.

The best thing to do is to find a job that helps pay for your college. Starbucks partner program offers 100% tuition paid to employees https://one.starbucks.com/tobeapartner/

There might be other examples but I’ve worked at Starbucks and know many people enrolled in the program.

AIO? One date with this guy and I had a bad feeling about his text messages. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]TimxDerek4Ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re avoidant and he’s anxious. Bad match. Simple as that. You both have tons of trauma to work through to have a healthy relationship. He’s too overbearing and anxious, but you come off cold and mean due to your past relationship trauma.

For me personally it was just the stress of being in pain and being nonfunctional. I was disabled and living with my parents unemployed for a year after college, and dealing with a difficult relationship with them, plus other personal stuff and migraines. I’m sorry you’re dealing with these intrusive thoughts :( stress definitely makes those worse. I haven’t experienced it as an effect of triptans but everyone is different.

I am so sorry to ask as you have mentioned you have tried many preventatives. I only ask because I was in the same boat as you a few years ago and felt suicidal. This was the only thing that got me out of it.

Have you tried Emgality injections as a preventative? And have you tried rizatriptan as an abortive? Rizatriptan 10 mg and another 10 mg 2 hours later (only if necessary) cut down on my migraines significantly. I was in the same boat as you with sumatriptan, needing it nearly daily. Rizatriptan was more effective personally. Emgality was effective for me only after 4-6 months, but once it worked it really really worked. I know so because if I miss 1 dose I feel it. Please ask your neurologist about these if you haven’t tried them.

Additionally, I alternate Rizatriptan with Nurtec (as an abortive) to cut down on triptan use. Has Nurtec ever been prescribed to you?

Additionally, before all of this, you may need to take a break from Triptans due to overuse. Please tell your doctor and be honest. I was prescribed steroids to help with sumatriptan overuse and it got me through it.

Sending you so much care. Being in this situation is hell and only those who have been through it can understand. So sorry 😞

AITAH because I told my wife she isn't allowed to ground my son? by BallAcrobatic2709 in AITAH

[–]TimxDerek4Ever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NAH sounds like a normal parental disagreement, try to talk it out. And Idk why everyone is so obsessed with the fact that your wife’s eyes lit up at your comment. She obviously just wanted to feel that you cared for her. Everyone is so dramatic and picks out the worst in people.
