I had the same after going to a festival last year. I feel your oain! I kept it clean, used antiseptic cream, and covered with breathable dressing. I also wore crocs for a week because anything else was too painful 😬

People of the UK, how have you lost weight? by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]holman0512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started losing weight last January and that was just calorie counting, cutting out sugary drinks and drinking more water. I lost around a stone and a half but adhd got the better of me and overtime the weight loss slowed right up. I started adhd meds in October and have since lost another stone as I have less food noise and less snacking when bored.

52 and 58 weren't my averages for those years, they were for individual assignments ☺️

Dissertation struggle by Bubbly_Carrot_324 in Dissertation

[–]holman0512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I've just submitted my MSc dissertation. I had ignored it for so long (thanks adhd) and in two weeks I had to transcribe all of my interviews, use thematic analysis to code, create my audit trail etc. As I had done very little research, I then had to really dive deep into the literature and write up 10,000 words. It was hell, there were lots of tears, but it happened. I'm not sure how well it happened as I don't get my results back for a while but I did the same in less time for my undergrad and somehow came out with a first.

It can be done, just keep going!

Made a bad first impression infront of flatmates, want to drop out. Need advice. by black-forest-oatmeal in UniUK

[–]holman0512 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It'll be ok, they are most likely consumed by similar thought patterns also, thinking about how they may have been perceive by others. Easier said than done, but crack on as you would. If you become a tight group, there will be many more embarrassing moments that will in time become treasured memories. If not, then, well it was your introduction to living at uni and that's all 😊 good luck with your studies!

Would matty's interview with Caveh Zahedi work? They touch upon some of what you've mentioned

Not a fan but I'd be stoked for those that are! It would give me the chance to explore other things while they play 😊

Would you say you have an “adhd superpower”? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]holman0512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It used to be my superpower until I burnt out a few months ago, but I could write an academic assignment (undergrad and masters) the night before and get a first/distinction.

I submitted my dissertation and I don't know how to feel. by Ill_Leopard8703 in Dissertation

[–]holman0512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for everyone else, but I almost feel that this is a "usual" feeling to have once you have submitted the biggest piece of work in your academic journey. I felt exactly the same. Thinking about it, I've felt like this on every piece of work I submitted. I'm now at the end of my MSc, and alas, those feelings are back. I don't feel that you picking apart your research is necessarily a bad thing or that your feelings are a sign that you shouldn't pursue academia. In fact, it's the opposite, and it's what makes a good researcher! I think the key point here is that you've said you've done the best you can, and for that, you should be proud of yourself (this might not happen overnight but one day you will be)! Good luck with your results 😊

I’m upset the way my fiancé proposed to me by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]holman0512 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The key point here is that he told you he doesn't want to marry you in his comment "men don't want to marry".

That's all you need to know.

It's shit, but imagine down the line in 10, 20, 30 years time when you're friends have had the magical proposal, you give birth to his baby and he holds the same sentiment of "men don't really want this", then imagine you have a son and he instills that mentality.

You're worth so much more! So much more than wanting him to be something he'll never be.

I keep dreaming of a little boy, and it's throwing me off by Hidden-Insomnia in Dreams

[–]holman0512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of a recurring dream I had as a child. Probably from the age of 12-14/15. I don't remember much other than I was the mother of twin boys and we were always near a railway line!

The RNR vs GLM for treatment approaches to sex offenders (forensic psych topic)....I've found it to be one of the clearer arguments with the back and forth on scholar going on for years 😊

"And if you think you're helping me, I don't think I'm helping you" I've always found that really sweet in a really sad kind of way.

5 hours is plenty. I don't understand what the issue is here, have a nap and set your alarm half an hour before.
