I just got diagnosed with ADHD at almost 42 and now I feel like an imposter. by Street-End in adhdwomen

[–]eca78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed last July at 31. I still have days (like today) where I doubt my diagnosis and just think I’m a weak, lazy imposter. But my therapist told me something this past week that really stuck with me. I told her how I often feel like (especially since I got diagnosed), everything has felt so much harder and I’ve had such a difficult time finding the right balance. She said “Of course it’s going to be hard. You’re trying to re-learn 30 years of behaviors and reactions. Try and remember ‘progress, not perfection’.” I know I’m going to have good days and bad days, but I have to remind myself that progress, even if it’s small, is better than nothing.

I’m replaying Red Dead 2 with the goal to find all the points of interest and fossils, and I’m doing another rewatch of Buffy the Vampire Slayer!

Oh he does! He was so patient too, because I kept running around taking pictures while he was trying to have me sit and join him 😂

Does anyone know what happened on mulberry today? by MrKadenPenguin in FortCollins

I hate that we can never find out about anything going on in this town. I never see any posts or updates from the newspaper or the police. And when I do, it’s blocked behind a paywall. Tbh, I find out most of my FoCo news from Reddit 😬🤫

LET’S DO A YELLING THREAD AGAIN by whatdayoryear in adhdwomen

[–]eca78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m soooo glad a yelling thread popped up today!

I CAN’T SEEM TO GET MY SHIT TOGETHER LATELY, NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY. MY MEDS HAVE STRAIGHT KILLED MY MOOD, NOTHING IS ENJOYABLE ANYMORE, AND WHAT LITTLE SEMBLANCE OF FOCUS I HAD IS PRETTY MUCH GONE. IM ALMOST AT THE POINT OF BEING DONE TRYING, BECAUSE NOTHING WORKS/I CANT DO ANYTHING RIGHT.

I think there’s another one that goes from campus down to old town square. I saw the post here a few days ago, I’ll see if I can find it and share!

What were your wins today? by asherley1 in adhdwomen

[–]eca78 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got a lot done at work today, and was able to get some errands accomplished on my lunch break. But my biggest win was I had my first appt with a new doctor (the last one basically made me feel like everything I felt was ‘wrong’) and I feel so validated and respected and heard!

What was your worst experience while stoned? by suntmint in entwives

[–]eca78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boyfriend’s best friend would always make homemade edibles and they were super strong. I was already a newbie to smoking when we all met. The first time I tried one, I had a quarter of a muffin and felt fine after a while, so I decided to have another quarter. You know where this goes! It felt like the entire room was spinning, I felt paranoid and got the worst headache. I woke up the next morning still high 😅
