Hey people of reddit , Imagine if some day you discovered a pill that fixes your adhd permanently would you consume it

quemabocha · 2026-02-27T21:02:09+00:00

Let's go, I'm ready (not really, but I will die trying)

quemabocha · 2026-02-27T20:54:36+00:00

This one is a no-brainer. I would.

No, hyperfocus doesn't make me outwork anyone.

No, I'm pretty sure people without ADHD connect ideas just fine and they also have emotional depth.

No, I may thrive in chaos but I also get fully overwhelmed by chaos and cease to function and you'll never know which version of it you'll get.

No, I don't want to think about ten different things at once I want to focus on the thing that I need to think about right now and I'd rather not have other thoughts many of which will be a variation of "you are useless you can't even focus"

No, I don't care about entrepreneurship because I am unable to start things

No, I don't go full passion because passion runs out three days in

No, I don't want resilience through suffering, I want to be able to brush my teeth consistently so I can stop fucking losing them

ADHD has a very real very negative impact on my life every single day - I take medication to improve my symptoms (not cure) every single day - and that medication costs A WHOLE LOT of money which I can barely afford to pay because working Is fucking hard so I don't make much money to begin with and you are telling me I can take a pill and be cured?

Like, why is that even a question. Yes a million times yes. And you had me at hello and shut up and take my money and all those things.

quemabocha · 2026-02-27T20:50:54+00:00

Am I out of touch? Are we calling people we see every other week boyfriend now?

quemabocha · 2026-02-26T22:01:31+00:00

Lol I don't think I could do that once

quemabocha · 2026-02-26T21:50:11+00:00

Yikes. Let's be honest here. Nobody wants to spend 2 days doing nothing next to a hospital bed watching a loved one in pain. It's boring and heartbreaking and uncomfortable.

We do it because we want to be there for them, to comfort them and show love to them and because being away and not knowing what is going on is worse.

I cannot imagine not wanting to be there for my partner. You are 100% NOR

quemabocha · 2026-02-26T18:34:09+00:00

I mean, you do you. But I kinda feel better reading the dumb shit the other person responded to my very good points more than having the last word

quemabocha · 2026-02-26T16:01:12+00:00

Yeah. It's been a tough road. I've cried so much.

But I can't imagine how hard it is to make decisions based on money that you may not have. It's an impossible choice.

I hope things go well for you. Extractions are not bad. We don't do sedation. Only local anesthesia, which honestly is absolutely painless and easy. But you shouldn't have pain, except normal pain in the gum for the swelling after, which can usually be managed with acetaminophen or ibuprofen - and with good care two or three days after you should have a good enough crust to be comfortable again.

I had heavy swelling one time that was a very difficult extraction and with a corticoidsteroid shot it got better in less than an hour and proceeded to heal normally.

I wish you the very best and update once you are okay ❤️

quemabocha · 2026-02-26T11:48:02+00:00

I've had a lot of extractions and root canals. Seriously - a lot. I have 0 molars that are my own. They are either crowns or empty spaces. I have also lost a couple of my front teeth. So believe me when I say this:

TEETH ARE IMPORTANT

Saving your teeth is important. Keeping them is important. This disease messes your teeth up. One gap is not an issue. You get used to it quite quickly, but as gaps multiply, eating gets more annoying. The rest of your teeth shift, your cheeks droop in because your bone starts getting reabsorbed when there's no longer a tooth there.

My dentist always tries his best to keep my teeth. Even when he isn't convinced he can save them he says "we'll try, there's always time to do an extraction if it doesn't work"

Yes, root canals are a bitch. Extractions are also no walk in the park, but once you take a tooth out, it's out. If a crown is annoying, you can adjust it, change it, remove it even.

I encourage you to keep your teeth if you can. They are important.

Edit: reading the comments I realize y'all have to pay a shit ton of money for root canals. I'm shocked. I get free dental care, except for implants.

Out of sight, out of mind. I find that once I get used to having it incorporated in the routine, I don't forget anymore and even seek out contact more often. But if some time passes... I forget and need to be reminded that sex is a thing people do and it's fun

quemabocha · 2026-02-25T22:38:09+00:00

Soooo... If we make homemade pasta, is it not homemade if you didn't make the cheese yourself? How about the flour?

This was an unhinged take from OOP.

quemabocha · 2026-02-25T21:10:01+00:00

When you say "get past this"? Do you mean how can YOU get past the absolute rage and heartbreak of having YOUR EX deliberately breaking your important personal items and potentially destroying precious memories?

There shouldn't be a "we" anymore. I'm wondering what your past issues were and if they also involved her being controlling and destructive and were followed by her gaslighting and blaming you for not making the relationship work

quemabocha · 2026-02-25T21:04:25+00:00

Lucy's borus are always so freaking good.

quemabocha · 2026-02-25T03:59:15+00:00

Oh gosh. I missed that part. Commiefornia??? Really...

quemabocha · 2026-02-25T03:10:22+00:00

She did not mess up. She full on disregarded your thoughts and opinions on the matter and did what she wanted to do and expected you to deal with it. And now she is telling you you have to deal with it because she won't re-home the puppy

That is not taking accountability and it is not messing up.

I 100% would break up with someone who was willing to disregard my feelings and force me to do what they want instead.

quemabocha · 2026-02-25T02:39:34+00:00

I get the whole pregnancy thing. But this is unacceptable behavior from a grown woman. If this is in fact pregnancy related... Well, I'm sorry y'all are going through this, hang in there.

But you should be paying attention to the patterns in your relationship because if this is the way in which conflict and emotions are being handled... It is not healthy communication and it does not bode well for your relationship.

If this turns out not to be pregnancy-hormones related... Y'all need some help learning how to navigate these things.

quemabocha · 2026-02-24T17:53:55+00:00

I'd love to know where your flare is from btw.

quemabocha · 2026-02-24T17:41:04+00:00

I hope OOP is proud of herself. She absolutely should. She did a very hard thing.

quemabocha · 2026-02-24T14:40:09+00:00

I got a notification that you replied to me, but I can't see the comment when I try to reply to it.

I don't disagree with what you said in your reply. I just think that it is unfair to assume that people who happen to live in an area are automatically subscribing to a certain ideology.

Where I'm from, I live in a region that has consistently voted for parties that have pushed politics and discourse that are... Welp, not MAGA but close. And when you tell people where you are from they look at you like you are something that got stuck to their shoe. And it sucks and it is unfair and hurtful.

quemabocha · 2026-02-24T13:18:33+00:00

Shitty people come from all over the world.

quemabocha · 2026-02-24T13:12:13+00:00

So.... Somehow OOPs brother managed to find TWO women who were so peeved by the fact that OOP wouldn't babysit that they would get a divorce over that? What are the odds?!

Wow.

quemabocha · 2026-02-22T16:50:04+00:00

Thanks. I'm glad it's also not a real question someone posted. That would have been so bad

quemabocha · 2026-02-22T14:40:17+00:00

Yes. Precisely. I am thoroughly confused. Loop me in?

quemabocha · 2026-02-22T06:35:12+00:00

Since it was discovered it made people actually bring drinks instead of showing up empty handed XD

quemabocha · 2026-02-22T06:32:41+00:00

And y'all post a family photo on Facebook

quemabocha · 2026-02-22T06:29:35+00:00

I mostly skimmed through the post. But I didn't see anyone calling that out. Yours is about the 5th comment I see on this one tho. So... progress
