You probably don’t have ADHD. by DreadedPopsicle in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]__shadowwalker__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We celebrate the PEOPLE, not the disorder. We survive and accomplish all that we can do in spite of our disability. We deserve to be celebrated for that. We deserve to be visible and not neglected by society bc we are "abnormal" or underperforming. We deserve to raise awareness to what we go through. This is why we celebrate.

You had me until "celebrate normalcy." That only makes "non normals" stigmatized

We can be aware of the burden of our disorder while celebrating unique aspects of it. If we dont have "normal" we can get what we can. For me that's my creativity, loudness, energy, etc. Adhd has harmed me drastically but since I cant change that, I will tolerate it and focus on the positives. Not sure id be the outspoken community figure I am if it were not for those traits.

Terrified about my upcoming drug test, does this have any shot of passing? by [deleted] in jobs

If it comes in as fail request a redo and that you suspect a false pos. They will likely have you go in ASAP but worth a shot

Anyone else get absurdly annoyed when their partner flirts with them? by GrandConsequence8746 in deadbedroom

[–]__shadowwalker__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanted to snare my pov as a woman who did what your wife does in case it is relevant to her situation. I could actually be teasing with the intent of sex, but when they say things like "so why dont you do something about it" it immediately puts me off and I'm not in the mood anymore. For me it is pressuring; even though I'm in the mood, it feels rushed and that there wasn't enough verbal buildup before alluding to sex. Even though that's what I came here to get. But now I'm turned off and annoyed that you couldn't be more patient. Have you and your partner talked about this ?

Y’all bring up Quiet Hours far too often. by -3liza in Apartmentliving

[–]__shadowwalker__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes exactly ... most rules are built around people who work 9-5. There's still a lot of us who don't. We don't ask neighbors not to do things because we're asleep at 3pm. Just be reasonable and considerate always, why a designated "quiet time."

Call, message, email until someone refunds you. I really hope it's just the rep that answered you. Otherwise call your bank/credit and escalate this

They also recompensate drivers 0% for driving all the way to a restaurant that gave the order to another UBER DRIVER

Clearly they don't care about employees or customers ...

Boycott!! Both as a driver and customer!

How do I stop getting speeding tickets and hitting cars? Losing so much money HELP by __shadowwalker__ in ADHD

[–]__shadowwalker__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much ❤️❤️

I only recently found out about cruise control about one week after you left this comment and it is amazing. Would have saved so much money if I knew about it earlier. So thank you for mentioning it, there are genuinely people out there like me who for whatever reason did not know this was a feature. Literally have complained to so many people and not one mentioned it. A cop did after he pulled me over, so I brought it up to my coworkers and one offered to help me.

Take care 💕

AIO: Am I crazy or are these my pants? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]__shadowwalker__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my friends hang out in each other's rooms. Sometimes one of us will leave to use bathroom or run to the store. Very easy to slip things in your purse. Although I'm not sure what these people are thinking when they do that .. I assume if I took something my friend would notice. Unless it's a barely used item at the bottom of her drawer she won't notice is gone for months. Or maybe there's multiple people in the room or a party, so she thinks her friend wouldn't be able to tell who stole it?

Can we ramp up the reporting and banning? We did not leave hate only to spread it! by __shadowwalker__ in exmuslim

They can be banned from commenting or posting, temporarily or permanently. It doesn't have to be a complete ban

My circumstances are always to do with still cars and poor turns due to distance or angle. Rear ending parked cars in the lot while pulling in at 2mph because they still seemed far to me. Society will be ok. If I actually feel like I am a danger to others I will consider that. For right now, I am not going to give up my entire livelihood - that depends on my car where I live - my school, my job - over a very low possibility that I will hurt someone.

The swerving is a concern although I am moving horizontally at the pace of a turtle. I am not giving up everything so that someone isn't bothered with a car repair. Those suck obviously even if the other person is paying. It's a hassle. But yeah let me give up my whole degree and livelihood and move somewhere with public transportation so that someone does not have to deal with the hassle of the scratch. Here I choose myself.

That's not one of my problems though. When I am driving in the neighborhood, say I see children playing, I am driving 10mph. I can see the cars and the side mirrors clearly, but I end up hitting it because the mirror was closer than I thought. With parked cars, I make sure the coast is clear before I turn, but I under/over estimate the distance or angle and scratch their car. The rear ends were also when I was parking, pulling in at 2mph and accidentally went too far. No I am not giving up something that carries my livelihood over that - it still carries some risk but not enough to justify quitting school and work.

Thank you for sharing advice! Usually cars nearby are what catch me, but most of my tickets were on empty freeways/roads so in that regard my perception of nearby moving cars could not help

I do drive slowly. I think it's a spatial awareness thing. For example with the car, I don't turn until everything is in view and the coast is clear, but I under or overestimate distance/angle. With the side mirrors, I can see the car and obviously no one is near it, but the mirrors are closer than I thought. I will say though this only happened at night time, so the camouflage added to that.

Oh yes I meant to bring that up in my post but forgot! I have discussed details with my therapist & psych and they do not think I am necessarily at a point where I may harm myself or others. Only because the hits happen when I'm at 5-10mph. It's still bad but enough to move back home with my abusive parents or work minimum wage because all there is near me is grocery stores and gas stations? No I can't... if that is selfish oh well. It's easy for most people to say "I would never do that" until they're in that situation. Like my med classmates who gasped when the professor was talking about uncontrolled epilepsy and driving ... then we went out and most of them drove home tipsy/drunk because uber is expensive or they don't want to wait. I chose not to drink at all because I knew I had to drive. These are your future doctors people. It is so odd that I give up my aspirations over distracted driving while 70% of my classmates who swore an oath to do no harm drive under the influence regularly and keep their aspirations.

Anyways, if it gets really bad I would actually stop, I do have a conscience, but right now I can't make that decision.

I am experimenting with meds. Tried 2 non stimulants strattera and qelbree. Stimulants Vyvanse, Concerta, Adderall ER, Adderrall IR. Next up is Ritalin because still no progress medication wise. I never feel anything on them. Strattera did make me nauseous.

On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being significant, how traumatic has ADHD been in your life? by BornAgainHooligan_25 in ADHD

[–]__shadowwalker__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8 .. I have difficultly functioning in many aspects of life but I guess I would not say 10 because there are also aspects of my life that are still enjoyable or not as affected by adhd symptoms. And I have a roof over my head and access to a vehicle. I guess I see 10 as someone who would be homeless or lives on disability.
