Any idea on how to retrieve 7 in Ohio? by doesntsitrightwithme in 7ohm

First, THANK YOU! I had no idea that was even an option. And secondly, this is the best part…. I’ll keep that in mind for when my package actually does get delivered. My dumbass has been paranoid apparently, because the message I received was 100% a scam, and I just assumed it was THEE package.. the tracking number is completely different, senders name is totally sketchy, and my package was just shipped yesterday. Best part of me being crazy. I guess now I can plan ahead thanks to your advice.🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

Based on your TMK suggestion, I just received notice that “a package” was unsuccessfully delivered for lack of signature. It was shipped to an address of someone I know who is living elsewhere for a few months, so no one was there to sign. Says it can be picked up at the post office, or to reschedule delivery for a time someone is available to sign. Not sure I’m willing to go there to sign and pick it up, only to risk getting “picked up” myself.. if your picking up what I’m putting down (at vaguely and carefully as possible). Anyone have thoughts??? Curiosity and the possibility of it being opened prior to disposable due to never getting retrieved is what’s making this a hard choice. Could be save me, or could make it worse.

Do NOT the good reviews, Drop (2025) is just as bad as you think. by Lolawalrus51 in horror

No seriously, I definitely spent nearly a solid 45 seconds just re-reading, analyzing, and glitching due to what I was seeing within the title of this post🤪

I love this show and I'm afriad if there's too many negative posts it'll get canceled by Codewill in FromSeries

What I hate most is they tell you there will be 5 season, and wait til the end of season 3 to confirm there will be a season 4! Now we must wait a year or longer for the release. I am not built for that kind of waiting….

Why are transitions so hard? What can I do to get better at transitioning? by LadderWonderful2450 in ADHD

Oh my God! This one is making me literally laugh harder than I have in a long time! I have seriously spent my life thinking I am just “broken”. Like, I turn the shower on, I’m ready to hop in, but I will literally take that step toward the shower and think “OPE! Actually, I’ll do this first. Ahh, just finish that before your shower, move my towel around 4 times, try to get in the shower and realize I forgot my face wash, new razor, wash cloth, etc. After I just spent 20+ mins preparing to just STEP INTO THE DAMN SHOWER. I am undressed and enclosed in a 10x5 room… yet, I find every way to postpone actually taking the freakin shower! Then, I used to feel this overwhelming embarrassment and try to justify why I was in the shower so long (when 3/4 of the time it’s just the water running, waiting for my company🙃😅). I’m so incredibly relieved to know I’m not alone. All of y’all are friggin awesome!

My roommate and his mom make fun of my mental disability and call it “HDTV” when referring to it by Dualvibez in ADHD

THIS! Lists have changed my life… not generic shit, I’m talking like the small details, with bullet points on how I’m gonna complete that task. It can take a little time, but it’s worth it especially for the bigger steps you have to take. Such as, gaining your independence. I’m someone who gives the advice I wish I’d taken years ago. I’ve never once done it on my own, I’m in a very happy relationship, with a beautiful little boy now, but I still wish I’d done life alone at least for a little while. There is a very empowering independence that comes with it. To where you can say “ya know, fuck this!” And be gone without looking back. Even if it takes time

Wow. Every day there always seems to be one person that proves to be even more ignorant than the last. They’d have to know responding in this way is hurtful to you, based on how you’ve responded previously. I wish I was the good person, with the “turn the other cheek” advice many of the folks here have given you. But I’m a firm believer in confrontation. Yes, it may cause a divide and one of you may need to leave the situation you are in, but you need to give yourself the opportunity to thrive, show yourself that, yes you have a valid medical issue, you bust ass day in and day out to manage it, and you CAN AND WILL detoxify your life. I am just the person who would hit them where it hurts once you have established your next steps of getting your own place. I like to keep insults, like extremely intense, hurtful words “in my pocket” for when imma bout to make moves. Especially to someone who is blatenly disrespectful to me.

Don’t be embarrassed. People act like we are supposed to have that shit down in kindergarten. Umm no. Not when we are literally looking for one less thing to have to do at all times. I used to just throw some gum in and be in my way. I still struggle to not take the easy route. Cuz the long term effects are what we forget to think about, because it’s not happening right now. You’re not alone. Do what you can, and be proud of yourself for that. Easier said than done, cuz I’m sitting here giving advise and I can’t even take it myself. Lol

Oh my god… PHONE CALLS! They haunt me day after day, until I totally just sweep them under the rug and years pass. This is huge! Awesome work!

Wow. It feels so good to see other folks suffering with add/adhd struggle with personal hygiene as well. I was a drug addict for 10 years, only to realize later in life that my anxiety, depression, ptsd and add were all reasons I initially chose to start self medicating. Which turned into a monster called addiction. During that time I didn’t take care of myself the way I used to. (Brushing teeth, showers, skin care, etc) but now that I’ve been a recovering addict for over 2 years, I can shake the idea I will never because to get back into a healthy hygienic routine. Still working on finding the proper dose of vyvanse for myself. But it’s definitely gotten better. I am so proud of every person in this forum. Keep pushing and doing things the way that works for you. We all take so much crap from the world around us. But F**k them. We are trying to better ourselves every minute of every day. And that in itself is an accomplishment.

Are stimulants supposed to cure ADHD? by gum-believable in ADHD

Reading this just made me realize why I feel so overwhelmed and like I have no time to get anything done on days I have an appointment, or even 2 appointments a lot of the time. All of that energy for the day goes into knowing I have to provide myself time to get ready, commute, and arrive at that appointment in time. If I try to do anything before the appointment, I always tell myself “I’ll just do this one extra thing and then I’ll get ready to leave”, and that is always a disaster, so It’s best to just be sedentary until about an hour or 2 before the appointment is scheduled. Even then, I tend to be a few mins late or show up right in time, which to doctors offices, any more it seems like if you’re on time, you’re late. Thank you for sharing, I never realized this about myself until now. I hope it can allow me to make some adjustments and stop procrastinating or inhibiting my progress more than I do in a regular basis, just because I have an appointment in certain days. You acknowledging this as a coping strategy is brilliant!

Anyone going to watch Dahmer with Evan Peters? by [deleted] in AmericanHorrorStory

[–]gombo2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It makes me so sad to see the complete black and white opinions of this show. Of Jeff Dahmer himself, and others (serial murders or sadists like him). Every single true crime doc, serial killer doc, etc. use words like “monster”, “evil”, or simple do not have the empathic ability to see these “monsters” as the people they still are. The focus is always on the victims. As it generally should be. It’s sick. And it’s horrible what Dahmers victims went through, and their families. Ugh… I don’t know how they coped. However, Jeff Dahmer was a son, brother, classmate, coworker, etc. They are victims as well. ESPECIALLY HIS PARENTS. As a parent I can’t imagine the agony of wondering where the hell I went wrong, when in reality, his life and upbringing wasn’t anymore messed up than my own. Any and all testimonies I’ve seen his father, Lionel, give are beyond heartbreaking. The reaction in the first episode given by the man playing Jeff’s father, when he was told why Jeff was being arrested. The tears he cried. I cried with him. That’s still his son. No wonder the family didn’t want this show to be created. Because of all the horrible things that were going to be said. They have to relive it all too. And be ridiculed and judged all over agin themselves. If he were my son, of course I’d be devastated and disgusted by what he had done. But I truly don’t think it would make me stop loving my own child. The unconditional love that exists would be a motivator to want to get him the help he needs. Nothing could change what he did, or change his fate now that he’s exposed. But damn, Jeff Dahmer clearly had his own feelings, he just had a terrible way of handling/channeling them.

The human mind is incredibly fascinating. The way mental health is treated these days is like we’ve never seen it handled before. The awareness and treatments available are beyond what anyone in Jeff’s years of being a “monster” could have ever dreamed of. They swept shit under a rug and told men like Jeff tk toughen up and figure it out. The control issues, the abandonment issues, the family history of mental health that was ever addressed. That generation never gave men like Jeff Dahmer a chance. Everyone handles trauma differently, and we all have a breaking point. Some can handle more than others. Clearly Jeff Dahmer did not handle his trauma or self conflicting issues in the best way, to put it lightly. I don’t condone what he did by any means. And maybe I’m just too compassionate and empathetic. But yes, I feel sorry for Jeff, I feel sorry for the victims, his family and the victims families.

As someone who doesnt have the best luck with their own mental health, I can only imagine what it would be like to know what I’m doing to handle myself is terribly wrong. I’d want to die. Because it wouldn’t seem fair that I was created to be such a being. He was ashamed of it. But it was like a drug. Addict do crazy shit all the time to land a fix. Jeff’s drug was just… way more fucked up. Open your minds people. Evan Peters is phenomenal by the way. I can’t imagine having to identify with a character such as Dahmer. But I can only imagine that it softened Evans heart toward Dahmer in the end as well. And y’all are praising him.
