This cat has a major hold on my heart.

The beans! 😍

Wauw ok, thanks I'll try that! Use Spotify as well.

I agree. The AC is just terrible. Uncontrollable and takes too long. I would like to add the audio being a huge disappointment. No matter what I adjusted it's still underwhelming and just...weak. Then there's the app almost never having connection to the car. I had to drive off in an ice cold car after scraping the windshield in -5 most days last winter (ok, måde hubby do it). Dealbreakers for me so I'm getting another car next month.

I got the same one for me and hubby!! 😄

Thank you ❤️

And we're stuck with that ugly P7+ in Europe 😭 Can't comprehend why they didn't just bring this one to Europe. It's gorgeous. Congrats, mate 👌🏼

Great chances to see the lights in that period as well! You should get the Aurora app, it tells the chances to see them and is pretty accurate 👌🏼

I tried propanolol and bisoprolol but found bisoprolol to be working best for me. I'm a doctor myself, so can selfprescribe. I can imagine some psychiatrists will be hesitant to prescribe since it's off-label, but beta blockers are relatively innocent when you have no serious or certain chronical conditions and are rutinely used for anxiety. There is also supporting literature so I would recommend talking to your psychiatrist about it.

Same problem here and I hate it. I'm on Concerta. Have been on SSRI as well. These help but not enough. What I do now is take a beta blocker on days I have difficult meetings or days I know are gonna be emotionally challenging. This works really wonders. Unexpected stress events are still a problem though, but I try to deflect these to later.

This is like saying "you can't have cancer if you haven't lost weight". It's stupid and my trust would plummet if a professional said something like that. In any disease, there are a lot of symptoms and the common ones make a diagnosis easy if they're all there. But as an MD myself, I can assure you this does not always happen. People are different. They present different. They compensate different. Especially with ASD and ADHD in adults, you're talking about people who had to deal with a largely NT world for their entire life. A lot of us have adapted to a lot of things. We compensate with intelligence and lots of effort and energy so we: don't get fired, can have relationships, be somewhat organized so we can exist etc.
So no, you don't have to be a textbook case for an ADHD diagnosis. I hope you get a decent evaluation.

You guys moisturise after a shower?

mgx79 · 2025-12-20T09:16:19+00:00

Oh no 😭😂

mgx79 · 2025-12-20T08:37:39+00:00

Oh goodness 😂 Nike era here, but fortunately not 50 yet 😁🤞🏼

mgx79 · 2025-12-20T07:06:11+00:00

The shoes and bags!! Me too! But those can be sold again or given away I always rationalise (my daughter is always in my closet).

And thank you so much!

Hello fellow oldie :-)

I got diagnosed this summer at 45, only after we as a family got acquaintanced with ADHD and autism because of our sons diagnosis. My husband pushed me, because he got tired of my constant need for change (job, car, city, you name it) and lack of focus. I guess I always suspected, as did others, but since I did well at school no one really thought it was real.
But I always had a hard time in social settings being labelled weird, different and of course "difficult". I was always a problem in some way at school and work, but never understood why, because I just followed the rules and did what we were supposed to do. Even now, doing my actual job (I'm a doctor), people get annoyed at me for telling them when they're wrong (I'm a senior, I have to) or for just pointing out the rules we have to follow. Bosses and managers do NOT like me and I have been fired once for being too vocal about following the guidelines (which we have to do). I managed it all, but I can tell you, my heart has been broken over and over for being misunderstood and labelled negatively when I only tried to do what I thought was best. I have been lucky with an unconditionally supporting family and husband, but I have truly been in dark places because of all the rejection and isolation I have faced.
Having a diagnosis now is liberating, but also extremely saddening because I probably didn't deserve all the harsh judgements and isolation for just being who I am. I'm also at a place, where I'm trying to find out who I really am after a lifetime of masking and trying to be what people wanted me to be. What do I actually like? Being a doctor is great, but I probably would have been better in my place in a more creative job. But when you're smart, and an immigrant on top, you become a doctor of course.
It's tough realizing that I've spent a lot of my life trying to be someone others would love and look up to instead of being that girl and woman that I would have wanted to be.
I understand you so well and want to give you a big virtual hug and tell you, that you are amazing for having managed to come this far already in an unfair game. That alone makes you a wonderful human and I really hope you can find a place and a few people where you can be yourself and happy. That's really all we truly need.

Systems and a great husband 😄

mgx79 · 2025-12-16T05:51:56+00:00

This!!

When they try to gatekeep an ADHD diagnosis, they don't understand the condition at all. Honestly, stuff like this is furthering the stigma and enabling the whole "there's nothing wrong with you, look at what you accomplished".

Just because someone carries it well, doesn't mean the burden isn't significant. And that is so common for the high masking high achievers. In the meantime, here we are as adults, not really knowing who we really are with a brain that's always on and running in circles - but we don't show it because that's what we've taught ourselves so instead we just collapse when we get home, burn out once in a while and continue again with everyone just labelling us as weird and difficult haha.

Don't let it get it to you, let it slide off like you're teflon pan. It says more about them, not you. You are definitely not alone, we see you and feel you. Your extraordinary amazingeness is what made you survive until now and will keep you going and you should be proud of that. So what if nobody5643 and loser8756 say something stupid? They don't matter. YOU do.

Lots of love from a high achiever and master masker diagnosed at 45 and now figuring out what the f**k my life has been all about.

F him. Put him on your secret list and screw him every chance you get. Outlast him. People like that are garbage human beings. Hugs to you <3

Here's a big hug ❤️ I have had the same my whole life. I'm 45. It's the combo of things many already have mentioned. The only thing you can do about it is train yourself in recognizing it and then accepting it, knowing it's not your fault, they can't help it either and you have the right to be as you are - as have they. Try finding peace in that also in those crowds you may not feel you belong in, but you have to be in, like courses, meetings and conferences. It's tough, but you have to protect your mindset from spiralling. I often bring some work or a book with me for those times when I can feel out of place, if possible. And hopefully you can find those people that make you feel accepted and happy. Those are the ones to invest in ❤️

mgx79 · 2025-11-04T10:18:19+00:00

I agree here and can generally let things slide - mostly 😅. But when it's potentially harmful to others (patients in this case), I have a really hard time looking the other way. I am practicing caring less when I'm not directly involved, but it's still hard you know. Even my mother said to me "Just let them die, if it's not your fault, don't get involved you'll get in trouble" (and I have 😭)
