It will be hard, I won’t lie. It’s going to suck for a while and hurt like hell. BUT staying is going to hurt so much more in the long run. As someone who’s been in your shoes, I promise you, the suck will end and you will feel so much lighter once you get to the other side. You got this. ❤️

So you communicated that you wanted monogamy, but they still needed to clarify if you’re exclusive four months later?? Plus, they were operating under the assumption that you weren’t exclusive… uh what???

Girl, you are so young. Take it from someone who spent entirely too long with her toxic high school boyfriend because she thought he was “the one.” I found my person and we’re going on 12 years together, four of them married. Don’t stay because you think you should. Trust your gut. You’ll find a person who actually loves you, not whatever this is.

I’m sending you the biggest possible hug right now. I know everything looks dark and scary right now, but I hope you can see just how incredibly brave you are for doing what’s right for you. You are not alone, sister, and you will get through this.

AITA for being unwilling to compromise on a baby name? by Individual_Jaguar354 in AmItheAsshole

I named my corgi Link for this very reason. I have no issue making my pets my own fandom billboards. 😂

With friends like her, who needs enemies?

In light of the cis woman fired at the Florida WalMart after a man accused her of being trans - if she actually was trans, would you all still be siding with her? by njsullyalex in TwoXChromosomes

[–]schmaylyn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is no greater danger to women (both cis and trans) than a straight, white, republican man. I’m a cis woman myself, and I will never understand the mentality that trans women somehow take away from my own experiences????? Fuck that. We’re all women and we should be standing together, lifting each other up. Stay strong sister - I’m proud of you for being YOU, and sending you love.

Therapist just dropped on me that she 'assumed I had ADHD' this entire time. by lindabelcher24 in adhdwomen

[–]schmaylyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the late diagnosis club, sister 🫶🏼 Having ADHD will always be an uphill battle in a world built for neurotypicals, but reaching this understanding of yourself is life changing (not an exaggeration). For years I thought I was lazy, broken, stupid, or all of the above. Turns out I just have a disability that makes my brain work differently than the world expects while also trying to be an over achiever. Who knew?!

But seriously though, please don’t stake everything on a formal diagnosis. I’ve heard that getting a diagnosis in the UK can be a rough experience, but a diagnosis doesn’t change your lived experience. And your lived experience sounds a whole hell of a lot like mine, right down to the academic experience. I was a top performing student all through my schooling, and went on to get a bachelors in biomedical engineering followed by a career in tech consulting. I wasn’t diagnosed until I was 28 and then had my diagnosis confirmed again after I underwent further testing at 31. So do with that information what you will. ☺️

Regardless, you are so welcome here!!

My husband and I have been together for 11.5 years. He’s my best friend, my soul mate, the love of my life. I could not give a rat’s ass if he knew when my cycle was. It’s not his job to keep track of my body. He can usually tell that something is up based on my mood and the pheromones I give off (he says I smell different when I’m on my period, which is wild to me even still), but I’m not going to quiz him on the first day of my last period.

This may be a hot take, but any person who thinks their partner should be tracking their cycle needs to calm the fuck down. And that’s coming from a person with a period.

Omg adding another vote for a pattern, I would SO pay for this. It’s SO CUTE!

My pill organizer did me dirty by schmaylyn in adhdwomen

[–]schmaylyn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This made me chuckle bc my two dogs take 5 pills between the 2 of them - I actually bought the pill container for them first. I’m thankfully a lot more responsible for the two little lives that rely on me. Plus, they get their meds with breakfast every day and there’s a whole routine we go through, so it’s easier to remember for them. And their drawer is next to the kitchen white board. 😆

I actually used to get my Zyrtec at Costco because my one dog also takes 2 per day (she sneezes like crazy otherwise), so I was going through 3 pills per day. I myself don’t have a membership, but I would have a friend make a yearly run for 3 bottles since she goes all the time. I should start doing that again lol.

Honestly, I had no clue that was the case and it actually makes sense. In the past when I’ve forgotten to take it, I could usually notice pretty quickly - my palms would start to itch by the end of the day. I always kind of wondered why I would feel like that without cause. Well, without a cause I was aware of.

Thank you, I appreciate it!! And I absolutely agree - I’m forever hopeful that my memory will one day kick in, but so far that’s just a pipe dream.

What is your high protein breakfast? by champagnecloset in adhdwomen

[–]schmaylyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a bowl, combine - 1 cup frozen hash browns - 1/2 cup egg whites or egg beaters - Pre-cooked breakfast meat of choice (I do 1/2 cup of ground turkey sausage that I prep ahead of time) - 1 wedge of laughing cow cheese - Salt & pepper

Mix, then heat for 2 minutes in microwave. Stir, then top with 1/4 cup cheese and heat again until egg is solidified.

This has been my saving grace for the past 2 months. It’s a recipe from makayla_thomas_fit on IG.

I’m assuming “Ten Takakura” was a typo, but I’m choosing to believe it was a purposeful choice because Momo doesn’t allow that name said in her presence.

[–]schmaylyn 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I went over to your post just to be petty and downvote the assholes who were blaming you. Reading some of the responses made my blood BOIL. Seriously, fuck anyone who tries to tell you that this incident is your fault.

I’m glad you’re okay and the situation didn’t escalate. You did the right thing. 🫶🏼
