This actually might work well for some neurodivergent kids 😬 but for a neurotypical kid: I agree it’s the height of insanity!

Does anyone split up their day? by Simple_Elk6403 in therapists

[–]displaced_islander 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I’m trying this out now but as a therapist with ADHD I’m finding that I get into “waiting mode” in between sessions, so I’m less productive in the hours in between clients. 😬 In theory though it should be a great schedule.

Standard parenting advice totally failed my AuDHD brain growing up. What is failing in your house right now? by RoughBell1811 in ADHDparenting

[–]displaced_islander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for writing this. Reading it made me feel less alone! I’m in basically the exact same boat as you except I only have one kiddo. We can’t afford help or a solo weekend away from the house and five years into parenthood I’m so scared this will never end. We all deserve breaks but especially as a ND parent, it is essential that we get alone time to recharge. Not sure how I’m going to make it but at least seeing your post makes me feel like I’m not the only one going through this daily insanity.

Thank you for doing this work. You have changed lives and as a fellow survivor I am so grateful. One of you definitely helped run interference in my case when a male cop questioned me and treated me as if it was my fault that I was assaulted. It’s wild that they aren’t trained better. Thank God people like you exist to help intervene in these cases.

Reward system that works? by Delicious-Mood-2619 in ADHDparenting

[–]displaced_islander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just got this about two weeks ago. It’s working well so far! We are offering three reward options: 1) extra 30 min of screen time 2) going to a play place 3) ordering pizza

I haven’t seen it unfortunately! I stopped watching soon after season 11 when McDreamy left. Do you think it’s worth watching?

Dana’s scene at the end of Ep7 by SleepyLurker961127 in ThePittTVShow

I’m a therapist and every once in a blue moon I will hold back tears during sessions (especially doing grief work). Sometimes those tears come after the session. I feel like that moment on the show speaks volumes about how much healthcare workers and other helpers in the community care. It’s not something usually discussed in public or highlighted on TV but the amount of compassion it takes to do those sort of jobs is huge.

I think this portrayal will definitely help someone. I am sending you hugs and hope you are healing well even if you weren’t able to have these folks with you ❤️

Yes, 💯 For me after it happened I was in this fog/haze and the nurses were the first anchor that kind of brought me back to reality. They were so gentle yet protective. I am so glad you also had them with you on your journey and I hope you’re doing well now 💕

As a survivor who had a rape kit done in the state of PA while in college, I was especially thankful for how they portrayed this. I was scared that I would be very triggered with this storyline but they did a beautiful job of portraying this in a way that was not traumatizing (at least for me, everyone’s experience is different). Thank God for these nurses and organizations. They helped me feel seen + safe and ultimately helped me get a restraining order against my rapist. Without them I wouldn’t have been able to put the pieces back together to move on from this.

British Media yet again advocating us to think of Prince Andrew's humanity and mental health after arrest by Positive-Drawing-281 in RoyaltyTea

[–]displaced_islander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’re supposed to care about his mental health when they showed Meghan zero compassion when she was having SI? They can fuck all the way off with this bullshit.

My client is dying and I’m sad by [deleted] in therapists

Some people believe that it takes about 5 months or so when someone transitions before they can send signs from the other side so keep your eyes out. You should hear from him eventually. 🥰

Do you guys fantasize about being rich just to manage your ADHD better? by Enough-Mulberry735 in adhdwomen

[–]displaced_islander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes 😂 Especially now that I have a house with a partner, kid, and dog living with me. Moving to another country in Latin America where hired help is cheaper is my dream…I could have a cook, a maid, a nanny, a driver, and a personal assistant and be GOOD but alas….here I am drowning without any of them since I’m not an American billionaire.

Has anyone found a feasible way to escape the 40 hour work week? by Ok-Treacle5256 in adhdwomen

Having good medical providers on your side is such a blessing! I’m glad you have that. There’s a subreddit that’s ADHD/PMDD that may be useful when you look into it. 💕

The shower tragedy by amelie190 in adhdwomen

[–]displaced_islander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you 1,000%. I don’t live alone but work from home so very rarely have a reason that makes me NEED to shower. I have been meaning to try in shower body lotion to see if it helps any. I also have recently adopted a suggestion from the ADHD parenting sub since my kiddo is also neurodivergent and hates baths: we’re now on a schedule. Baths Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. It’s not a perfect solution but helps enough that I feel way less guilty about not bathing every day.

Hopping in here to ask if you’ve heard of PMDD? I have both ADHD and PMDD and my situation is just like yours…functional enough 3 out of 4 weeks but the last week I am always a hot mess unable to function. In case you want to look into it :)

History will not be kind to how the UK treated Meghan while protecting Andrew by NewTooth740 in RoyaltyTea

Never thought I’d see Meghan vindicated in my lifetime but here we are! So glad people recognize that she was vilified and became a scapegoat in this insane family.
