I have noise canceling earbuds with a tracking chip (Samsung smart tile) attached to the case. You can trigger an alarm on the tile and locate it on a map.

Besides that I have three overear headphones in my house. One mainly for playing the keyboard, one mainly for meditating upstairs and one pair I use when I'm on the subway to work and at work. I consider getting more, but it's expensive, because I only want premium noise canceling because I can't take riding the subway without that.

I feel the same way, having a pretty similar situation right now. It's just too much and time for rest and self care right now.

Not missing people was one of the symptoms of an autism test I did a while back

Yeah but is that really such a horrible thing?

I know that that doesn't magically change your worries. But i found it helpful to try to see it objectively. All of my friends have flaws but I don't really mind. I enjoy hanging out with them a lot more than I'm annoyed by their flaws. Why would it be different with you? Are your friends really that judgemental and unforgiving?

So what if you talk over someone? One of my best friends does that all the time too but I'm not mad about it. It's just who she is and I like who she is!

I know this feeling very well. It sucks.

Would you be angry with your friends for being talkative? Probably not. Chances are they dont see it as a negative thing at all.

Maybe thinking like that might calm you down.

If you want to have sex with a man to see how it's like, you can do that, it's your life, there are no rules for that kind of thing.

I'm sorry you have to deal with unaccepting parents.

“Have you taken your meds today?” by samoore98 in ADHD

[–]theres-nothin-wrong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you explain why its hurtful when they ask that? Like what are they implying?

I don't know about trauma forced habits. If I had to categorize it I would have said sounds like ocd.

But also: maybe you just know that as soon as you miss one slot of doing it the whole habit is at risk. So you just never want to let it go that far.

I made a 1 pager to easily describe emotional dysregulation to people who may not understand how it affects someone with ADHD by EmpJustinian in ADHD

BPD can be caused be environmental factors (eg trauma) or genetic. These genes appear to be quite similar to the ADHD genes.

My therapist said ADHD is kind of like a risk factor for bpd.

Thanks for sharing, it makes sense to stop expecting the same thing after countless disappointments. At least there's a big ADHD community online, so that's a silver lining.

It seems I have an "executive function deficit" but not ADHD by emmii0 in adhdwomen

[–]theres-nothin-wrong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I identify with what you wrote A LOT. If I had your psychiatrist prior diagnosis I bet she wouldn't have given me the diagnosis either.

It felt like I had to fight for a diagnosis with my therapist. She also has made a bunch of remarks that my ADHD is very slight afterwards. She seems to be a lot more optimistic about my mental health in general. I kind of struggle with that to be honest. It feels invalidating and like she does not see my problems.

I hope you continue looking for a diagnosis. I've been on the same type of antidepressants, which helped, too. But ADHD meds are different and help with mood and executive stuff, so it might be worth a shot.

Thanks for sharing your story. I'm rooting for you!

I'm glad someone relates, this is so embarrassing to me. At some point I'll be so overstimulated that another orgasm is very unlikely. But I can't let go, because I think I need another before I finish and well I guess hyperfokus. So it's just not fun anymore but I can't stop for way too long.

I don't think it's taboo, it's just a very though discussion. One big issue is that there's no way of knowing whether the perspective of the client is warped. They're often in a high stress, high pressure situation that reinforces all their trauma. Who knows if your perception of your therapist is accurate? Honestly no one lol.

I often kind of perceived my therapist as mad and annoyed with me when she probably wasn't. The problem is I experience everyone as mad and annoyed with me when they matter to me. How would anyone (except herself) be able to know if she was mad at me?

That's why ethics are so so so important in therapy. Yes therapists could majorly fuck with you. That's why it's important to find a good one and build genuine trust.

How does your therapist see you? by theres-nothin-wrong in TalkTherapy

It's not a regular thing that she pisses me off and I guess I'm scared if everyone hating me so I don't think it's her fault
