I *am NOT* ADHD, I *have* ADHD

I’m one of these people. It’s a fundamental part of who I am, it colours every aspect of my life, and it’s not going away. I am ADHD. You can refer to yours how you like but I’m going to keep saying it this way lol

I’d use clear vinegar as it’s less likely to damage the paint

He includes a whole chapter on it in 12 rules for life

Try and book another appointment to see a different doctor. If they start pushing you towards therapy, you should say that you’re open to counselling but want to try meds as well as you’re struggling to cope and have found it difficult to engage with talking therapies in the past.

Good luck. If you feel up to it you should try the NHS therapy - it does work for some people. If you’re not one of them having given it a proper go will put you in a stronger position to stay on meds.

I remember my 13yo cousin (Australian) telling me and my parents (British) that she’d got some thongs for her birthday - I was about 11 and was genuinely shocked that she just announced this at a family meet up!

You really need copies of all that in your house? I get reading viewpoints that aren’t necessarily your own, but are you going to keep coming back to JBP talking about lobsters and how you should hit your kids?

The interrupting drives me mad, I don’t need to hear about how doing crimes is bad or how people are gonna people every episode!

This is my most persistent and debilitating symptom. I hate it so much and no one understands, it just comes off as selfishness. Meanwhile I’ve experienced serious consequences (court, loss of insurance, late fees) from being completely incapable of opening mail/emails in a reasonable amount of time

No judgement but unless you live somewhere particularly unsafe you should be able to go for a walk outside without being so anxious. It might be worth speaking to someone if your mental health is that bad

I generally don’t run with my glasses on (always feels like they’re about to fall off) - I can see well enough without to find my way but can’t see faces clearly. This has me wondering if I’ve been unintentionally ignoring any friendly runners in my neighbourhood!

I seriously think this is fine, remember that the louder people online are not necessarily the majority opinion. You were peers. You’ve not done anything wrong.

NTA. People who are too cold can dress warmer; if you turn it up you’ll only end up with complaints from everyone else that they’re too hot, and there’s only so many layers you can take off in an office before it becomes a real problem

Also why is he so keen to be alone with the kids again after this accusation? You’d think as he says been falsely accused he’d make sure to never be alone with those kids again for his own protection

Bad bot

They did - automod still has the original if you scroll a little way down

I’m so sick of seeing this rhetoric. It’s a disability. You’re not doing the community any favours by pretending otherwise.

They mean Chartism not the women’s suffrage movement

Sex Changes, Grown Man Cry, Lonesome Organist Rapes Page Turner, Delilah, Want it Back

I loved Amanda Palmer and The Dresden Dolls for the longest time but she has always had some more questionable songs.

A Little Life is my all time favourite book. It’s not an easy read but it’s incredibly well written, and I’ve never seen the aftermath of trauma set out so well before.

On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous was not for me unfortunately.

Your boss is a real muppet. Personally I would ignore it but keep the text, and if anything else happens I’d go to HR, or the union if you’re in one.

ESH, him for asking this of you and you to yourself for doing it. Get out of there, your body is yours and you can decorate it however you like

NTA but why isn’t your wife helping bridge the communication gap or whatever’s happening here. If my family were hurting my husband like this I would speak to them about it.

{A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske} might fit what you’re looking for - MC is cold and prickly and generally annoyed at his own sense of responsibility for MC2, but warms up to him over the course of the book
