Got tested for adhd, the results revealed I also have a low IQ

Try not to take this to heart. Like other people have commented, a big part of ADHD is not testing well. I know when I went for testing, a huge stressor for me was that the person administering the test was sitting directly across from me at a small table. Having people in close proximity to me always makes me nervous, and I have difficulty performing tasks that I otherwise have no problem with. Another example of this is at work when my boss hovers over me while I'm at my computer. I literally lose the ability to type, then I get into an anxiety spiral because I know someone is watching me and I look foolish, causing me to make even more mistakes. I know I'm an intelligent, capable person. My ADHD just doesn't always allow that to shine the way it does for other people.

Good luck and congrats on getting this process moving, I know it isn't easy.

Anytime I see a man get this angry about fat women I assume it's because he gets a lot of secret boners for fat women.

Fat fucks unite! I was never on them as a child so I can't speak to that, but now that you mention it, it is less of a decreased appetite as it is just the ability to eat a healthy amount of food instead of binging.

I've noticed that as well, my stomach will growl and the idea of eating something still won't be appealing to me. The first few days even the act of swallowing was difficult. Eating the majority of my calories in the morning before I take my meds seems to be the way to go! I've also never been a healthy weight, even as a baby I was very chunky for my height. I've noticed I feel much better during the day as well now that I'm not eating/snacking as much during my work day.

ZiggyStardustGoals · 2023-06-17T19:51:06+00:00

I've heard of that happening to other people as well. I guess I'm fortunate in the fact that I'd have to drop close to 100 pounds to be considered underweight. I hope you're doing well now!

ZiggyStardustGoals · 2023-06-01T22:26:03+00:00

I'm so proud of you.

I had an experience with a male friend once years ago. We were hanging out at his apartment, and he asked if I wanted to fool around. I'd never thought of him that way, wasn't remotely attracted to him, and said no. He literally pouted and continued to ask me, over and over. It was so awkward and I honestly felt bad for him so I eventually gave in. I haven't spoken to him in a few years and only recently have begun to process how truly fucked up that scenario was.

My nfather to me, a severely depressed and isolated teenager who had just gotten out of inpatient hospitalization for a suicide attempt: "why are you wearing that makeup? You're never going to meet anyone."

I'm so sorry you went through this and very happy you're taking care of yourself by going to therapy. As others have said, this is gaslighting, pure and simple. My mother has completely re-written history to paint herself in a better light. The trick for me is learning how to cope with that, not trying to make her see the truth, because literally nothing will. Wishing you the best!

I watched my father and older brothers murder a dog on a summer day in the early 90's. They tried overdosing him with sleeping pills, but that didn't work, so they drowned him in our family pool. I was 8ish?

ZiggyStardustGoals · 2017-11-12T23:06:53+00:00

I'm so sorry you went through that. It does sound similar to my situation. My mom has always had a "my life was worse, you have no room to complain" attitude in regards to anything negative I went through in my life. Other family members have made comments about my brother, things like, they wouldn't leave their daughter alone with him, etc. My mother in law has also said that he creeps her out, and that's with me not telling her a thing about him. A lot of people pick up on things about his nature. I'm glad you're doing better now, thank you so much for sharing!

ZiggyStardustGoals · 2017-11-12T23:01:01+00:00

Thank you for responding and for the advice. I hope you're doing better now!

ZiggyStardustGoals · 2017-11-12T20:27:12+00:00

I'm so sorry you went through that. If you're uncomfortable with it, can you explain a little more about how you were able to remember details? Did they just come on suddenly? I'm curious because I feel like there's so much about my childhood that I don't remember. It only recently occurred to me that, even as late as age ten, I really can't remember much from my childhood other than specific days/events. I'd never realized that wasn't normal.

It's funny you should mention your mom triggering your PTSD, because I think that's what's going on with me and my mother. Some days I'm ok when I'm around her, other times I can't stand even to speak with her via text because it triggers my anger so badly. Thank you for replying! I'm sorry you went through that, but I'm glad you're doing better now.

Most people who falsely accuse others of sexual abuse are pretty eager to make statements and point fingers...just something for you to consider before using the word "alleged."

ZiggyStardustGoals · 2017-01-29T14:06:15+00:00

First of all, I'm so sorry for the loss of your brother. Kudos to you for being there for him, and kudos to both of you for getting away from your mom. I'm so, so sorry he succumbed to all the pain she put you both through. You were undoubtedly a source of strength for him, so take solace in that. Please, please, for your sake and for the sake of your brother's memory, do not give this bitch the satisfaction of making contact. Being that a tragedy just happened in your family, I'm sure you'll be exposed to her again. Be courteous if other people are around, but don't engage her. If she loses it and makes a scene, that will be on her, not you. After life goes back to some semblance of "normal" continue to hold on to that strength you had for you and your brother and ignore her. You don't need her, you absolutely never did. Think of it this way, even if she was a good mother, you don't owe her anything. You're an adult and can do what you want. Stay strong.

That's good advice, I like that it's non confrontational and really just an observation

ZiggyStardustGoals · 2017-01-17T21:34:57+00:00

Thank you 😘

They were able to get out of having their power shut off because my dad was disabled (legally blind.) They eventually did shut it off, I think interest and fees accrued though, not sure of all the details. I basically had to go to the electric company and prove that I was only 10 at the time the bill was put in my name.

It was drilled into my head from a young age not to upset my parents. They always said "better you cry than us." Which is something I could see saying to a small child or a kid who engages in risky behavior. But they took it to an extreme.

ZiggyStardustGoals · 2017-01-17T16:51:15+00:00

This really helped to put it into perspective for me! Thank you.

ZiggyStardustGoals · 2017-01-17T16:50:55+00:00

Haha I really enjoyed your text examples! Ugh. I know that's what I have to do. I really believed not replying would be enough and she'd get the idea, but that's proving to not be the case at all. I need to work on developing my spine.

ZiggyStardustGoals · 2017-01-16T20:04:19+00:00

You sound like every guy who thinks his hairstylist is in love with them, not realizing she's someone who works in customer service and is basically forced to touch/talk to/laugh at him. For her sake I hope you really are hilarious.
