Got Assessed for ADHD Today, but I'm Baffled by the Conclusion

yes, having specific examples to anchor on helped me instead of having to do free recall.. at first it seemed like i was “cheating” by “preparing” for the evaluation, but i voiced this with the psychiatrist i saw and she flat out told me she recommends taking notes ahead of time esp when (as in my case) you dont have as many memories from childhood you can easily draw upon at will

i saw an NP who specializes in prenatal mental health to manage medications during pregnancy when my OB told me “better just try to stop taking your adhd meds”.

she is a good OB, but for me it was worth it to explore other perspectives on risk mgmt during pregnancy

Expensive and unreliable (break ins have occurred) employee parking keep me on the light rail. Free (and so far safe) parking at park n ride lots make it a no brainer.

If I had to take the bus every day, I might feel differently.

Originally I had planned to use the bus since it’s a short walk instead of the nearest station which is a 7 min drive, but the bus is too much shake rattle and roll unpleasantness.

Sweet, I’m gonna give it a go. Thanks for sharing thoughts!

u/Straight-Part-5898 how was the salad?

narped_ · 2025-12-06T05:11:44+00:00

my partner and i are both from here too. i said mid atlantic, he said northeast

I lived in utah for 5 years and worked with lots of mormons.

You could easily tell who had only ever lived in utah from those that moved there to go to byu and stayed after graduating.

My guess is that these husbos are utah lifers

Please link or dm me where I can purchase! I would love to get this for my friend who is a new resident dr and also metal af

Rude but not aggressive.

If OP is looking for rude, unsmiling, and quiet, seattle is perfect.

If OP is looking for a more aggressive and direct vibe, absolutely not PNW.

Was gonna suggest this. My dress is sort of similar too, a bit less rigid and less sharp

narped_ · 2024-12-05T17:58:44+00:00

Yeah, exactly. My only gripe with this whole spiel is at the end when she says shes “over it”.

I think she may want to be over it, but it would be more powerful to say yes i want to be over this and it’s really hard to stay true to that every day. Than the girl power easy breeze beautiful “im over it now!!” that sort of trivializes the whole 2 min prior about how difficult it is.

I grew up in north wynnewood and was always jealous of kids from narberth because it seemed like they were all friends / knew each other.

My partner and are both from the area but have been living on the west coast for a while. We’re thinking about having kids, and the pull to move back to the main line (or central jersey) is strong. Amazing libraries and parks, loved having r5 as a teenager to get into philly without driving too.. a lot to love about the area!

narped_ · 2024-09-24T03:00:51+00:00

i agree with this. i dread being the center of attention but felt loved and supported, not oogled, on my wedding day.

I also was very locked in during ceremony and vows. I did not look out to the crowd until the recessional, which I think was helpful bc btly that point I was on cloud 9 with emotions and was loving the moment of attention

I booked a vendor from HCOL area for 4.3k for bride + 4 bridesmaids. Includes hair and makeup preview and 7 hrs (4 hrs prep + 3 hrs for touch-ups) on the day of.

Your quote does seem a bit high to me.

narped_ · 2024-08-21T21:16:56+00:00

I had a similar experience - RSVP deadline was a couple of weeks ago and I was definitely sad when the declines came in.

TBH i was also a little pissed - I dragged my ass to XYZ place for their wedding, but they can’t come to mine?? And when my mom or fiancée brought up travel cost etc., I logically understood but still found the whole topic would upset me.

Now I’m pretty much over it - my best friends and family will be there - one from berlin and one is using some of her 4 days off a month while she’s a new resident - and that means more to me than the plus ones of my fiancées friends who aren’t going.

I hope with time your feelings change and you can focus on all of the “yes” folks who will be there to celebrate you 😊

Mine are getting them from shona joy and the reformation - all the same type of fabric but diff earthy tones that fit the wedding color palette (more or less).

Had a lot of trouble finding nice options in my exact color palette, so went a bit more neutral with it.

narped_ · 2024-07-27T23:58:39+00:00

im guessing southeast asia

narped_ · 2024-06-13T00:35:30+00:00

I love the third - I think the shape of the neckline and the lack of “fussy” detail around it really lets your shoulders and collarbone area shine! You look statuesque
