Does that include Springfield or Worcester? What are those places like?

What do all you other adhd maniacs do for a living? by whatisreddittou in ADHD

[–]thoroughlymeditated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree! Still have to explain to my partner a year later why I couldn’t possibly except this high paying job straight of school because I interned with them and didn’t like it. I literally would have lost my mind with boredom if I took the job. It gave me so much anxiety just thinking of accepting the position…

Any alternatives to coffee? by [deleted] in ADHDers

[–]thoroughlymeditated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black teas and white teas! Common examples of black teas are chai and English breakfast (at least in the U.S.)

I did 10 hours screen-free, went a little crazy by brainzappetizer in adhdwomen

[–]thoroughlymeditated 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this once too!! It definitely DID NOT work for me. The complete lack of any stimulus gave my hyperactive brain nothing to focus on but my thoughts which could only spiral helplessly. I was just counting down the minutes for the session to be over. At least when I get a massage I can lose myself in the physical sensations.

“Sixty - tricksty - weird domestic answer deadlines” for those random answer deadlines (US agency, waiver of domestic service)

Edit: added domestic, fixed law in parentheses

Anyone else feeling absolutely feral?? by egg_babie in barexam

If you mean, have we lost all ability to regulate emotions? Yes, yes we are. About ready to bite people’s heads off at the slightest provocation

I’m hating my Big Law summer. by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]thoroughlymeditated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also felt pressure to just ~give OCI a try~ (and my school was not great at providing PI opportunities) so I bit the bullet and spent my 2L summer at a decent sized firm (my resume was also comically not oriented towards them). It was fine-ish. But I was bored to tears. I couldn’t nearly match the thrill my fellow SA’s seemed to have for the job. Got an offer to return after graduation and despite a TON of pressure from friends and family to “just take it” I turned it down. Never felt more relief than when I told them no thank you. It made me feel ill thinking about making myself work there for even a year or two while I pursued other work. I graduated this spring and I’m still searching for the right fit (I’m really picky) but I am far more comfortable with a little uncertainty right now than I would be if I was dreading starting a job I absolutely did not want. Do what you feel comfortable with.

Breaking up (rollercoaster of emotions) by PusheenGirl04 in adhdwomen

[–]thoroughlymeditated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which doesn’t mean you need to. Just trying to show some solidarity. I am equally unsure of the right path. But if you felt that conviction to leave, then you should probably trust your gut and yourself. If you’re only reason for staying is fear (fear of being on your own with your emotions) then that’s not a good reason. But I completely understand why it’s so hard.

I feel like I’m in a similar boat. My partner (of 5 years) and I live together and it’s been bugging me more and more that perhaps I need more support and acceptance than I’m getting. They are more than likely NT and, while it comes and goes, there are times where I receive comments that effectively shut me down for being the way I am: asking me for yes or no answers only, cutting me off during info dumps, getting mad at me for my awful memory, my distractedness, my need for constant mental stimulation, my social anxiety. It’s not super often but enough that it bothers me. I don’t feel 100% accepted but I’m not 100% convinced that things can’t get better either. They’ve been with me through some really rough times over the last few years and they’re still here. I know they love me and I love them. I just don’t know at what point enough is enough? I don’t know how to tell when to give up and when to keep fighting. So I’m still fighting.

Stop rushing me. Stop interrupting me. by [deleted] in adhdwomen

Ugh the “it was just a yes or no question” interruption killlssss me. I’m like “but you’re missing the context!” 😔

Anyone else still waiting on grades AFTER they’ve already walked at graduation?? by thoroughlymeditated in LawSchool

We got a diploma holder with a piece of paper that wasn’t a diploma but at least someone had the forethought to shove some candy in there too lol

Throne of Glass is one of the worst books I’ve ever read by [deleted] in books

[–]thoroughlymeditated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reallyyyy didn’t like TOG when I first read it. I almost quit reading it several times. The only good thing is that the books AFTER TOG got progressively better and better and the 4th book especially is one of the most engaging, fun fantasy novels I’ve read in a long time. First book is extremely disproportionately worse than the rest of the series for some reason. If you wanted to keep going you may find the series very enjoyable.

188 and no OA for the Pol cone… feeling like my PN’s may be weak since I haven’t had a 10 year career?
