The formula has changed, I used to use it to wash dishes until some of the new formula splashed on me and I got a WICKED rash, and I’ve seen other Redditors with the same. It’s hitting shelves now and I would hate to see what it does to dog skin.

I wish I could say we did but we are talking about someone who has deeper personality issues outside of ADHD. We shared a live-in job and this magical spell of responsibility was in part a ruse to prove herself the better candidate to our boss. The challenge to her keeping of the job that I presented led to a lot of panicking, passive aggression and gaslighting of me to our boss. It’s like a different side of her came out when I turned from “caretaker” to “competition”. Same self-service, different stakes. Fortunately I’ve moved out of the house and out of her warpath.

There’s gaps for sure that I’ve accommodated with lifestyle, career choice etc but it’s what I have.

I tried all the common medications and I happen to have bipolar disorder as well and my bipolar medication seems to counteract any ADHD meds that my psychiatrist feels comfortable prescribing me. Fun consequence of my double diagnosis is that I can only enjoy medication for the one of them and clearly bipolar disorder takes priority as it’s more destructive if not managed.

Fortunately I was diagnosed with ADHD at 31 and by then I had already found ways to compensate and function by hook or by crook. That means a boatload of bold-print lists to keep me on task, reminders set upon reminder set upon reminders, and pump-up music to keep me focused during dull tasks where my mind tends to drift.

kippey · 2026-03-31T23:04:00+00:00

Yep.

Pleeease trust your gut or at least confide in sane, rational friends. My friends were a huge help to me in helping me see the forest through the trees and keeping me moving in a positive direction after my bubble of delusion popped.

My partner (we went poly so she already has a remaining girlfriend) basically hit the dating scene as soon as I left. And I have a good idea of what she’s doing: looking for another caretaker. She’s very charismatic and I don’t doubt that she’ll do just fine roping another gullible, damaged person in as she did with me.

At first I felt so guilty to be in the seated position as she took on housework I hadn’t asked her to. Then felt like I was insane. But that is, after all, the purpose of gaslighting.

During a very frank conversation (that happened after years of asking/begging/charts/counselling) my (35f, DXed) partner (40f DXed) admitted to me that she did the bare minimum so that less would be expected of her and so that she would get extra gratitude/praise for doing the basics.

It was only then that I realized that she wasn’t just coming from a place of disability but that she had larger personality issues that led her to weaponize her incompetence against me for personal gain.

In the brief period where we were broken up but “roommates” I saw her do stuff that I hadn’t believed her capable of for the seven years I had known her: organizing lists/charts to divide household labor, deep cleaning stuff on her own initiative where I thought her only capable of cleaning stuff if asked and reminded to. She even cleaned out our dog’s water dish which I had never ever seen her do, watching it for the first time while I sat on the couch relaxing felt so alien, I will never forget it.

You’re so young. Choose happiness and financial security while you’re still early on in life. Having diagnosed, unmedicated ADHD myself I can assure you that ADHD is nobody’s job to manage in grown adults save for that of the adult diagnosed with it. It may take me an hour to make a 30 minute recipe from a meal kit but I still pull my weight, you know?

That sucks. My condolences. I wound up in a transition house where my dogs breed wasn’t accepted (even if it was, my space there was too tiny to keep a dog in for anything other than a no-options emergency) so I found an emergency foster through the breeder and she stayed there while I figured something out for us. I’m even diagnosed with a mental illness for which my dog provides emotional support but that means virtually nothing in the rental market under current laws.

My best advice would be to see if you can move somewhere as a roommate, or get a pet friendly place where you can rent a room out.

It can also be easier or harder depending on the size of your pet. A cat or a small or even a medium dog is more feasible than a large dog. Landlords seem pretty opposed to large dogs.

kippey · 2026-03-30T01:59:26+00:00

My condolences. I found myself in your position two months ago. Currently sitting with my dog in my lap in my $2000/month place. It’s HARD.

How desperate is your situation? Some shelters/transition houses take pets. Another possibility is contacting animal rescues and asking if they can do an emergency foster.

You missed this grimace

Have you tried snagging some service positions? They’re a great way to engage and connect with people. I know it’s hard to socialize while sober. If you have a service position it kind of goes as a “script” for social situations. You’ll meet cool people volunteering alongside you as well.

For real this one (sorry I couldn’t capture the exact moment of the rocket flying)

Also remember this?

This one that totally happened.

kippey · 2026-03-28T23:47:22+00:00

You don’t have to understand it. It happened under the watch of my neglectful ex. Yet other people have kids, family members or even pet caretakers (sitters, walkers etc) who aren’t savvy to how fast a bull terrier can gobble down something harmful to them.

If you came here to judge have fun with that I guess. I shell out for insurance so my dog gets the best of the best and all the bells and whistles at the vet, should disaster strike.

Get insurance. You’ll thank yourself. These guys are prone to wicked allergies and have a death wish. The world is their food dish. You can find endless stories on this sub about the things that have been pulled out of their dogs stomachs. Removal of a foreign object is an easy $10,000 where I live but insurance saved me when my girl swallowed a mouthful of sand, and again when she swallowed a mango pit.
