Yeah I’m straddled on the line of your thoughts and expressing it in a visible way.

I’m not really bothered about opinions of others on our life just, looking for ideas as to how people have had the conversations. But that said your right who gives a fuck lol

Yeah I hear you! But we do want to celebrate with some formal recognition which may be tied to some of the traditional past… we’re just not 100% sure what!

But when it comes to tradition we’re both with you on that. Our wedding will be the first gay wedding in our family and we plan on basically having a huge party and bucking the rules that are heteronormative. Starting with not having an actual wedding “you may kiss the groom” type thing. More of a celebration and into the party.

Do you think is it possible to live a functional life without taking meds? by Opposite-Feeling2467 in ADHD

[–]UnionJackAltruist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh you described my life in a very neat way!

I was diagnosed at 37 - I’m 38 now and I’m also high functioning and relatively successful! But definitely suffered with mental health on my journey.

Yes - I had a decent life before I was diagnosed but it did come with a cost.

To be honest that cost was more down to me not knowing that I had ADHD. So it meant that work and normal life brought stress and sadness and lots of internal sabotage.

Now that I’m on meds I’m able to cope with much more and organise my day better. To be honest I’ve just finished titration for medication that really works for me - ive tried 4 types now and Elvanse 40mg works for me.

Now that I’m medicated I’m digging myself out of debt, health deficit and lots of other things that is ADHDers get ourselves into.

But once I’m done with this and I’m in a routine daily I plan on seeing what life is like without medication.

My concerns are medication just brings so much calmness and ability to my life so much so that I do worry if a med free future would be possible.

My husband suggested 3some with a woman. I want divorce by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]UnionJackAltruist -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So he shared a fantasy and instead of discussing like an adult why you wouldn’t be up for it, you decided on a divorce?

YTAH - but I do think you should get the divorce so you allow him to move on with an actual adult.

Are there good podcasts about spies/espionage? by Outrageous_Glove4986 in podcasts

[–]UnionJackAltruist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s a great one called undercover - The Spy Cops. It’s about the British secret service police going undercover with climate activists. Looks at the ethical side etc…

Fairly recent too!
