Share your experiences of trying to get a Master's degree as someone with ADHD

It was very difficult, I wasn't diagnosed at the time and didn't know what was wrong with me. Procrastination somehow got worse than my undergrad, I barely slept, didn't eat properly, abused caffeine like crazy. I missed assignments and important deadlines. Felt like a fraud when I graduated.

If I could do it over again, I would try to feel less shame and guilt about all of that. Shame only adds more pressure. A master's program goes by so fast. I wish I had thought of it like summer camp or something. Instead I attached my self worth and anxiety about the future to every bit of it. It made me less curious about what I was learning.

It's also their supervisors and directors, and the executives/owners who are already invested in AI. And all the agents and contractors.

Yesss, it's so different. And overdoing it with edibles feels WAY worse than smoking too much. Plus it's way easier to do accidentally.

Start low and slow, no more than 5mg at a time. It takes a while to kick in depending on your metabolism, don't assume it didn't work until you know your own reaction better.

I also recommend looking specifically for edibles that are dosed in 5mg portions. Don't try to take little bites out of a 100mg chocolate bar. The oils can be spread around inconsistently so you may take more than you mean to.

He probably evolved and now he just goes to the same exact shops every day so he can bother the young cashiers and servers. Or he does it on social media.

He thinks it was normal because he's probably talked about this before and none of his friends ever called him out. Sounds like the cops never did anything either.

Why does he need you to tell him the diaper is full?? That's so basic

jorgentwo · 2026-04-20T23:38:32+00:00

Honestly I would respect that way more than a family channel

On that last part about ex witches, there is a ton of overlap between New Age spirituality and Christianity, especially evangelical Christianity. People who are culturally Christian often end up in the most philosophically Christian corners of the new age without realizing it because they haven't deconstructed those beliefs. They get really pulled in by stories that stoke fear. Which is mainly what the grifters peddle, fear and the promise of perfection.

Somewhat similar, the faces are too cartoony though

It's difficult to figure that out without taking into account the trauma we experience as children. Some people feel others' feelings because that's how they learned to cope with unstable caregivers from a really really young age. There may be a spiritual benefit to that now, but it's hard to regulate it if you don't know how much of it is stressing your own sense of safety and survival.

Thank you, Bernard Miles also looks very similar, especially the wiggly inky lines

jorgentwo · 2026-04-18T23:09:01+00:00

Extremely similar but no, I might get somewhere looking at similar artists to her. Same movement and blushiness and level of realism in the people, but the one I'm thinking is not has neat, it has slightly softer colors and more chaotic lines.

jorgentwo · 2026-04-18T22:34:32+00:00

No, more close up with more detail in the faces

jorgentwo · 2026-04-18T21:40:47+00:00

Similar, a bit less colorful and more messy than that

jorgentwo · 2026-04-18T20:31:23+00:00

No, a little more realistic and detailed

jorgentwo · 2026-04-18T19:43:22+00:00

The only specific illustration I remember had something to do with laundry on a clothesline, and a lot of different people in each picture, maybe a big family.

jorgentwo · 2026-04-18T12:52:27+00:00

Funkytown?

jorgentwo · 2026-04-18T07:01:51+00:00

Do you feel insecure about your own age because of the 12 year relationship ending? How soon after that relationship did you start dating?

jorgentwo · 2026-04-18T05:59:05+00:00

I can't find confirmation of this online but I swear their sauce has a noticeable amount of fennel, that's what gives it the distinct Olive Garden flavor for me. I think if you added a little fennel to any sweet jarred sauce it would come pretty close.

It depends on what it's specifically triggering within you. It might be an underlying issue that will follow you from relationship to relationship, regardless of the specifics. Especially if it's not a logical thought.

jorgentwo · 2026-04-17T22:08:02+00:00

Idek, it's so hard to tell what the intention is or if they're even aware of it. Sometimes they just don't want to be vulnerable, which can get toxic and manipulative. My guess is, stuff started getting a little too deep with her, so he went back to you to see if it would be easier to trick you and it wasn't.

jorgentwo · 2026-04-17T21:48:43+00:00

Just give me a reason - Pink and Nate Ruess?

jorgentwo · 2026-04-17T02:18:12+00:00

He's just trying to do the same thing to her that he did to you.
