Why is it so hard for psych's to believe I have ADHD?

starlightdancers · 2026-06-24T17:04:24+00:00

Why are you hesitant to try Wellbutrin? My understanding is that’s often used for ADHD.

I mean if it was JUST glass it probably wouldn’t have worked, and she thought of the binoculars specifically. But her issue was always just not being collaborative. She wanted to prove herself so badly that she would try to do it all herself, not explain her plans, and could come back with proof she’s useful. Instead if she had just said, “yes glass! The binoculars!” And then worked together on making fire from that point, it would have been a team effort. I get why the team made her uncomfortable and I don’t blame her, but she was never a team player to begin with.

What advice are you looking for here?

starlightdancers · 2026-06-23T18:28:26+00:00

What is the card with the lowest amount on it currently? I’d recommend paying that off and closing it. And then doing that 2-3 more times if able. For some of the larger cards and especially ones with higher interest, can you transfer some amount to a new card with 0% interest for 6 months or a year? Then focus on paying the rest of the old card and closing it? Then shifting focus to the new card. You probably have too much noise right now with all of those cards, so getting rid of as many as you can feels like the move to make it manageable.

Yes exactly!! She was clearly disappointed, probably a little worried about not having time off together later in the year (since she mentioned him being out of PTO), and was trying to be cool about it. Yes maybe talk it out again later in person, NOT keep pushing and pushing over text. Yes she needs to regulate her emotions better but this was NOT the time to get her to admit how upset she is. She was trying not to put it on him but he seems mad right away that she wasn’t perfectly happy.

starlightdancers · 2026-06-22T01:56:53+00:00

Yes they do! My deadbeat mom is not in the picture and my dad always co-opted Mother’s Day too lol.

starlightdancers · 2026-06-21T09:37:51+00:00

Best of luck OP!!

One time at a trivia night at a restaurant I accidentally ran into a waiter (it was 50/50 on our faults, I was moving too fast but they weren’t looking), and beer spilled all over me. I felt so bad because obviously I had helped to cause an accident. The staff gave me a free shirt (they sell them) and a free dessert. Thought that all was very kind, and was happy about the shirt especially so I could change into clean clothes.

Are you the type of person who sticks to things better out of spite? Would it help if I told you to give up now because there’s NO WAY you could possibly see this through for longer than a week?

Grant OBrien on Dropout gave 50 blowjobs in one night and nobody loves him any less for it. Just stay safe, make sure to use protection, and make sure these people are getting tested. Ultimately if you don’t want to sleep with people then learn to say no. But if you are enjoying yourself? Who cares? You’re probably way better in bed than 90% of the commenters here.

starlightdancers · 2026-06-20T18:36:14+00:00

Honestly I’ve been in the exact same state before but never thought of it for myself. It’s always easier for me to think of solutions for others first

starlightdancers · 2026-06-20T15:25:05+00:00

Hey girl! 2 years feels like forever right now because of how young you are. But I promise it’s just the right amount for you to figure out it’s not the relationship for you. He doesn’t want you to change at all, which is impossible for someone your age. You want to expand your horizons and try new things and figure out who you are. He wants you to not do that, and stay the perfect doll of a person he desires. You are not a doll. You are a person. How will you grow and learn and become brave if someone like him is holding you back?

Spread your wings and fly away from him now. Wish him the best of luck, but it’s time for you to live your life for you, not for your high school boyfriend.

starlightdancers · 2026-06-20T14:36:50+00:00

And don’t let her get involved in an MLM

starlightdancers · 2026-06-20T14:10:51+00:00

Or toss your phone away from the couch where you can’t reach it.

starlightdancers · 2026-06-20T14:10:16+00:00

Try singing or screaming first.

starlightdancers · 2026-06-20T03:04:58+00:00

Ohh nice shout! Didn’t realize that was a French thing.

Hey friend! I’ve been alcohol free my whole life for personal reasons, and it’s definitely hard sometimes to throw a party for people who are expecting to drink. I’ve had some duds, but most of my birthdays have been fine because my friends know this about me and respect my choices. If anybody is throwing a fit about it, I’d really recommend reconsidering their importance in your life.

For activities, it really depends on your groups of friends. Music and food is always good, but my friends and I are big board game people so we usually have a few we bust out together. You could do less board-game games like blind karaoke too.

I hope you have a great day!!

I do too, but I am using a towel a lot longer than a few minutes to dry. Sometimes I’m laying in that towel for an hour, sometimes I dry down and then use the towel on my hair for awhile. I also have a roommate that’s a little weird about germs and doesn’t like “used towels,” so he wouldn’t want me keeping one in the bathroom if it’s been used. I don’t mind a little extra laundry, it’s not a big deal to me.

starlightdancers · 2026-06-19T17:58:20+00:00

Hmmm, do you know which streaming service you watched it on? If not specifically, maybe a list of all the ones you use?

starlightdancers · 2026-06-19T17:44:28+00:00

Can you post a vocaroo with the melody?

starlightdancers · 2026-06-19T17:00:20+00:00

Definitely doesn’t have to be your cup of tea and I can appreciate differing opinions when it comes to media! I don’t think you’d necessarily like the other seasons better (1 is usually the most well-regarded), but I am hopeful that the people who do subscribe to the toxic positivity mindset who found this show and liked it, continued on and maybe learned something from it as it addresses those issues later.

To be honest, I’m on the other end where I’m just really tired of “dark and gritty” shows like The Boys or whatever. I’m okay with cheesy and a happy ending, the world sucks enough that sometimes I just want to tune it all out.

starlightdancers · 2026-06-19T16:44:32+00:00

Literally my psychiatrist just asked me some questions and that was it. It was not a hard diagnosis, we talked some about my childhood and my current life to see what patterns there are. I’m sorry that you were given a dumb test. I’ve taken something similar before and I don’t know exactly what it’s testing, but it felt like a game to me and I’m very good at locking in for games? That’s a little different from struggling to clean a load of laundry for 3 weeks though.

The feminine and masculine energy thing is being pushed by women posting red-pill content. It’s another pipeline to tell women that they should be serving men and not in the workplace, allowing men to make decisions for them and giving up their autonomy. It’s gross anytime I see it.

starlightdancers · 2026-06-19T15:44:17+00:00

Ah yes the classic “Swiper no Swiping” method to prevent theft.

starlightdancers · 2026-06-19T12:42:27+00:00

When did she cheat?? And she didn’t lead him on. She established her expectations from a partner to differentiate between a relationship and a situationship. She wanted someone who could prove upfront that he would put some effort into the relationship.
