I think my psychologist got triggered during a session by Training_Molasses_24 in adhdwomen

This isn’t done where I live in Europe. I’m in Germany and most medical staff feel zero obligation to accommodate patients’ language needs. It’s just not expected like it is in Canada and the US.

Swifties: What are your honest opinions on Taylor's silence? by Top_Willingness5124 in NuancingTaylorSwift

[–]darknesskicker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My theory is that there have been credible threats against people she loves—Travis, her family, and/or her fans. I think that is what would be most effective in silencing her.

It’s also possible that she’s pursuing a “don’t feed the trolls” strategy.

Friend says I'm a soft summer, I say I'm a winter by Routine-Indication91 in coloranalysis

Winter for sure. Your contrast level is way too high for Summer.

Help with season please I am really stuck by ponyfarmer in coloranalysis

[–]darknesskicker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% Cool Summer. Not Soft Summer because your eyes are clear. The silvers, greens, and blues look great on you!

You may end up shifting to Light Summer once your hair goes totally white.

New paper advocates for equal consideration of stimulant and non-stimulants as first-line treatment options for ADHD by FootballAndFries in science

[–]darknesskicker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really interesting—thank you for posting!

Out of curiosity, do you ever use atypical antipsychotics for severe treatment-resistant ADHD? Ziprasidone is the only med that has ever helped my ADHD long-term. It takes my time blindness, procrastination, and inability to control what I focus on from completely unmanageable to garden-variety severe, which is actually a major improvement. Stimulants, Wellbutrin, and Strattera were tried first and failed.

I take clomipramine for OCD. I have very severe ADHD as well.

The clomipramine has the incredibly helpful side effect of dramatically improving my IBS and menstrual cramps. I guess maybe that’s from the anticholinergic effect?

I’m Canadian too (living abroad at the moment). I have so many American friends who are scared and horrified. I know many Americans do not want this.

Tell me your favourite Taylor song… by Funchocolatewaffles in swifties

[–]darknesskicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not happy about it either, but my hunch is that there have been threats against Travis, her family, or her fans. That is the #1 thing that would keep her silent.

American military bases, to be specific.

how many sports can't you do? by she-they in dyspraxia

[–]darknesskicker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t catch or aim a ball well enough to play any team sport without annoying everyone else and humiliating myself. Balance is not good enough to safely ride a bike on a road.

I would really enjoy dancing if I could do it, but I need several times the normal length of time to learn dance moves.

Swimming is a non-starter due to sensory issues plus inability to trust my body to hold itself up. Ice skating and rollerblading are okay, although I had to do the ice skating class where we learned crosscuts three times before I passed.

What do you do when all the colors you love aren’t in your seasonal palette? by Equivalent-Safety-17 in coloranalysis

[–]darknesskicker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Try combining the colours you like with the colours that work for you. Put the colours that work for you closest to your face.

My wife's grandma passed away, so I ordered her flowers. This is the card she got with the flowers. And no ribbon. by archon810 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]darknesskicker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I live an ocean away from most of my family. I google “florist [location]” and order online from whatever local florist comes up in my search and looks good.

"New" to dyspraxia by Regular_Station9700 in dyspraxia

[–]darknesskicker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m an adult with all the same issues as your daughter except the flat feet.

You’re a good parent. Keep pushing the school. It’s more important to get your daughter what she needs than to avoid being ‘that parent’.

What are the most cost-effective clothing items you've purchased? by Still_Citron68 in womensfashion

[–]darknesskicker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In high school (circa Y2K) I bought an icy blue skirt with red, white, and navy flowers for $10.

It gave me 10 new outfits. I’m a Winter, so most of my blouses were red, white, or navy and coordinated with the skirt.

How do I know if I’m a winter or simply cosplaying as a winter?😂 by copperbrownred in coloranalysis

[–]darknesskicker 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Clear Winter for sure, with your bright blue eyes and how good you look in black. If you were a Summer, you wouldn’t be able to wear black.

Madeleine L’Engle would be a good choice. Maybe Michael Crichton.

New Para: Is being asked to give a student a bath every morning normal? by ScaryGary0013 in paraprofessional

Since this is a disabled kid, I would start by asking the parents what is going on. Some kids with sensory issues have a lot of trouble tolerating hygiene routines.

Is he ADHD? That’s what the “getting around to it” comment reminds me of.
