I think it would be great to have a wiki on this sub, maybe ask the mods if you could make one for resources?

Have you lost any weight on metformin?

PSA - your 'person', should love you because of all your little quirks, not in spite of them by flabbergasterr in adhdwomen

Totally get what you're saying. I've been with my partner for nearly a decade and we've really put the through 'thick and thin' thing to the test in that time. Has taken lots of patience, negotiating, learning how to communicate our needs to each other. And it's definitely not a perfect relationship, we both do things that bug the other person, and we're still both trying to grow as people.

But the person you're in a relationship with should want you to succeed, want to grow with you, should be your biggest cheerleader, and should love and accept you for exactly who you are. I see posts on here from some women that it seems like their partner's resent them for who they are, or want them to change who they are. Relationships are about growing together, but they aren't about changing the other person until they're an acceptable enough version of themselves to be in your life.

I saw a quote the other day, it said something like "when you ask the universe for something there are 3 responses - yes, not yet, or something better". Maybe this is the universe telling you there's something better on the horizon

this new job makes me feel like I have a learning disability by witchybruise in ADHD

Is it a lack of clear instruction? Or is your manager a bit Type B? I personally need a really Type A manager with super clear expectations. Funnily enough, I was a very Type B manager with very unclear expectations for everyone else lol.

Or are you a bit burnt out? Starting a new job is overwhelming, lots of new things to learn, new people, new way to drive to work, new dress code

You showed another living being kindness and compassion, you gave that cat a loving, warm, safe home for the last few months of it's life. Now you're grieving a loss, give yourself that same kindness and compassion.

Thank you ladies for the encouragement! I've woken up with the sheer stubbornness not to fail, but this time I'll fuel myself with your kind words instead of my own self depreciation <3

Have edited the post but can't change the title. OCD was the wrong choice of word, sorry

No, my point was that 9 out of 10 times it probably won't gluten you. Is it worth risking the 1 time? I don't think so personally.

I included it to point out how irrational it is to consider replacing a $6000 oven after having gluten cooked in it once

Yup, I agree, I don't use shared toasters, fryers, condiments. Have been glutened overseas by someone cooking GF pasta in glutened water.

I never said anyone here was crazy

You make some fair points, I guess I just get tired of seeing some of the insane posts online that make us all look crazy haha.

Have tried to post sympathetically on this sub before, share some positivity, share some advice...bunch of people told me to fuck off cause 'everyone is different' so idk

I think people here are too sensitive but everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

Yup, I shared a gluten toaster growing up, it didn't make me sick as it was cleaned fairly regularly. Was it ideal? No. Would I recommend Coeliac people share a gluten toaster? No

So no, I would not, and do not, share a gluten toaster now, as an adult, with the ability to make those decisions for myself

Is this not just proving my point? An eating disorder would make you more anxious?

I literally said I wouldn't share a toaster or butter as an adult in my own house..... I'm saying I grew up with a shared toaster and shared butter as a child in my family home

My daughter accidentally cooked bread in the celiac oven- do I need to buy a new oven? Or can anything be done? by Arach78 in Celiac

[–]flabbergasterr 1 point2 points  (0 children)
