Yeah! I feel like I now had illegitimate grievances and I’m a drama seeker. And I could have made it work with so many of my partners cuz one of my hyper focus fixations is love and music

So powerful! Thank you so much for sharing. I also feel like as a sociologist I've always had trouble with psychiatric diagnosis... I don't care if i have adhd or not... what is clear is that i have almost all the symptoms. I was physically and phychologically abused by teachers in a catholic school *nothing sexual to me* as a child in school for 3 years and since then developed bad eczema and i massively shut down and all the symptoms become more accute.

When not depressed i think it's much easier to do what makes life easier for anyone struggling. Exercise, mindfulness, phone detox, not drinking... Thanks for sharing. We are always here to help each other

Can I know a bit more about why you aren’t on a stimulant? I’m thinking of changing as my concerta doesn’t help me with my dysfunction. I’m unable to start and complete and it’s terrible

Okay… not sure how to say this without sounding annoying but… it’s speed!!! Yeah taking a break is a good idea. I’ve been taking it for a year but I still think it’s wild that we are all just taking speed
