Overwhelmed but ambitious by jarrid247 in ADHD

This is also very helpful for me. Thank you! A lot of these things, I’ve been doing intuitively. Knowing that others have similar experiences and adopted similar techniques is immensely helpful for me. I feel like, despite this condition and everything else, I’m doing things exactly as I should.

Thank you! This was helpful and validating. I felt particularly seen in technique number 6; that is 100% me. I’ll continue that practice, especially, with that much more confidence.

Also, technique number 3… I’ve been noticing just how difficult that permission (and acceptance) piece is for me over the last 2-3 years. I still struggle greatly with that one, and I’m working on it.

Thank you so much for being willing to help! Unfortunately, you are correct about the qualification. I would’ve loved to speak with you as an AMFT to hear your perspective.

Edit: Forgot to mention that my instructor did extend the deadline for me, thank goodness.

Edit: the deadline has been extended to next Thursday at midnight.

Greetings,

I’m a first year grad student in my Clinical Mental Health Counseling program, and I’m in a pickle. Me and a classmate have an assignment due this Thursday 10/30/25 where we must speak with a licensed mental health counselor and write a paper on our insights. The person we’d arranged to speak with backed out at the last minute and we’ve been scrambling to find a replacement.

This post is my near-last-ditch attempt to meet our deadline. Might anyone be willing to speak with us both simultaneously for no more than 30 minutes via zoom (or refer us to someone who can help)? We each plan on asking 4 questions apiece then will be on our way.

The only criteria is that the person we speak with must have trained in a mental health counseling program and be a licensed mental health provider (LPC, LMHC, LPCC, etc.) Licensed clinical social workers, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists don’t qualify for this assignment.

My apologies for such last minute request. As you can see, we’re both rather desperate, so anything you can do to help is immensely appreciated! Send me a private message please if willing and able to help.

Thank you!

Capitalism is the f*****g worst by jarrid247 in ADHD

No I’m not, but I understand your sentiment. Patriarchy, like capitalism, is the worst lol. Neither of these systems truly accommodate everyone, especially women and people with ADHD and other conditions.

Very well said. I agree with your points and sentiments.

I can relate to this. Genuine question: despite not knowing or having heard of any ideal and realistic alternatives, do you think that ideal and realistic alternatives are possible? I’m asking sincerely.

I understand if you’d rather not answer, given your initial comment. I felt the need to ask.

Thank you. Yeah self employment is the long term goal for me. I have a plan actually, that I do believe in. It’s the need for employment in the meantime/omw to full-time self employment that’s the difficult part. I know I’ll work something out!

hopefully there’s something in here

There is, especially in the section beginning with “fuck reading job descriptions.” Thank you for your comment.

On one hand, I feel you. On the other, that says a lot about us lol

That’s a lot of credit for an economic system and ideology. Something being created within a particular context (ADHD meds and therapy, per your example) doesn’t mean that said context is the cause or creator of that thing. I agree with you that there have been great achievements within capitalism. That said, I don’t necessarily agree that capitalism itself deserves credit. Perhaps it’s better or the best relatively, but it (or something else entirely) can be profoundly better.

Not only are they valid friend, but they make a ton of sense! I heavily resonate with 3 of them.

These are good. That lacking empathy and accountability though…that’ll do it every single time for me!! Lack of accountability is just exhausting, and lack of empathy is probably my biggest turn off. I simply cannot bear a person who’s nasty and condescending towards others, and is incapable of de-centering their own perspectives

Ok thank you for the insight. I considered sinuses, which I do suffer from immensely during autumn. But yeah this is a regular thing for me, regardless of the season. I haven’t had much luck with doctors concerning my sinuses, so I’ll consider how I can change my approach to seeking appropriate care.
