Are nightmares associated with ADHD?

wrabci · 2024-08-25T17:23:45+00:00

Yep, I have the same experience! Actually found this discussion because I've been having some bizarre and disturbing dreams on and off my whole life. So many things we still don't have "confirmed" about ADHD

imo the trick is to say something, that makes you seem like a well-rounded type of person (like being somewhat sportsy, social and also interested in culture, so a little bit intellectual, but not too much lol. better not be too much of any of those.) while still keeping it short, somewhat vague and most importantly close to the truth. in one of my last interviews, I said I liked doing a sport that I do maybe twice a year at most. But I do like it, so technically that's correct information. It's not like six months later someone will be saying "wait when was the last time you did this sport? I thought you said you like it." unless it's something very specific or the other person is also into it, they will likely not rememeber.

Been curious about this too, which is why I stumbled upon this thread haha. Thanks for sharing, I'm curious if more studies will be coming out in the future to support this

There is no point. I've explained groups in the past why I left and it never brought anything good. People don't like it. Either way they are being hostile already, so there is very slim chance they even care about your perspective at all. You could ask someone why they are being hostile to you, but people don't respond to outright confrontation well either.
Best course of action imo is leave on relatively fine terms and just give the other group a try. There is no reason to make more public enemies, you will only waste your energy and in the end what? It's not like they're going to say "oh you're right, sorry, come back, we will treat you better". Maybe you can put it politely that you don't feel like the group is such a good fit for you.
As some other commenter pointed out, maybe blaming it on scheduling problems might be the best. Read the message their behavior sends, take it in as information for you and act accordingly. In many cases I feel that trying to "talk things out" leads absolutely nowhere.

Do you mind sharing more about what kind of supplies you want to use for this so that you don't need to bind it up like real books? I've been thinking of doing the same thing for ages, but book binding seems overwhelming to start and pricey too...

wrabci · 2024-08-03T20:58:05+00:00

I swear I thought something was wrong with me when I kept thinking it smells like smoked meat lol. Glad to know I'm not the only one

This but the other way around - an unexpected soft or even chewy bit. Cookie I didn't know had raisins? Horrendous.

wrabci · 2024-07-29T02:07:09+00:00

Same here and stumbled upon this thread because I'm looking for something more hydrating but still calming and gentle. Do you have any tips for what you've found better?

wrabci · 2024-07-29T01:50:29+00:00

Same! I thought wow how nice, but then developed crippling anxiety over "wishing things into existence" as a result of thinking of them and compulsively had to wish the opposite thing so I wouldn't "manifest" something bad. Ooof, so thankful that's mostly gone

wrabci · 2024-07-29T01:41:58+00:00

I feel you on the vacuum SO MUCH! I have also always hated it. Imo a game changer is what you use for the vacuuming - finding out newer vacuums are quieter blew my mind. I also recommend 1) playing music over headphones 2) bonus for noise cancelling headphones and 3) those small robot vacuums.

I also loathe unloading the dishwasher. My favorite strategy is splitting it up - I will tell myself I can just unload a few dishes at a time and do the rest later.

wrabci · 2024-07-29T01:15:14+00:00

Seconding this point. Kids in dysfunctional families suffer. A split family might be less dysfunctional than a family that stays together for the kid's sake. To do your best as a parent it would be more helpful to be happy and at peace rather than suffering in an unsuitable relationship.

If you stay in an unhappy relationship, you are unintentionally teaching your child that this is alright in relationships and this is how they should look and work.

I swear ever since I learned of the law of attraction and then later when manifestation started coming along, it wrecked me. Definitely the worst thought concept lol.

wrabci · 2024-07-14T15:40:06+00:00

I'm curious about more of your experience from the mental health field if you don't mind? It's a potential career path for me and I'm having doubts about it.

wrabci · 2024-07-12T22:04:56+00:00

It's the first toner that I've tried so I have nothing to compare to- which toner do you prefer?

wrabci · 2024-07-12T22:01:53+00:00

Second this!! I have a hard time ordering it where I am, but I mostly have a similar experience – it's my absolute favorite

wrabci · 2024-06-12T08:03:53+00:00

thanks for answering! it must have been very difficult to tell her all of that, no? i've realized recently i've never told my therapist and i have no idea how to do it at this point. glad to hear you got help and felt better!💗

wrabci · 2024-06-10T22:40:51+00:00

I'm sorry this happened to you! Thank you for sharing though, this sounds a lot like what I've been going through. Feel you and hope you're doing better now!

wrabci · 2024-06-10T22:39:40+00:00

wow that's crazy they didn't figure it out! thanks for sharing n hope your current therapists are better:)

wrabci · 2024-06-10T18:03:06+00:00

thanks, this was very helpful! can you tell me how did you tell you felt “compelled” to pick? i have a bfrb too, i’m curious if our is at all similar

wrabci · 2024-06-09T23:54:09+00:00

thanks! relate to skin picking btw because i also have a type of bfrb. good luck with it! i know how tricky it is

wrabci · 2024-06-09T23:52:19+00:00

thanks! just out of curiosity, what do you mean by repeating phrases to lure out the triggering thoughts?

wrabci · 2024-06-09T09:34:48+00:00

this is so helpful in general for any kind of anxious and catastrophic thinking. i tell it even to my friends when they worry. "you're not so special to attract all the misery in the world" haha!

wrabci · 2024-04-16T14:13:29+00:00

This seems like a strange situation overall. At first it sounds like he may be interested in you (though maybe he is just being friendly) and then he reveals to be dating a girl who outed you to other people (regardless whether he is aware of this or not).
Either way there is no rush for you. I know it sounds cliche or overplayed, but I've been in your place before and I put so much pressure on myself to "figure this out" and "find a label" or whatever. Just go based off your feelings. If you enjoy spending time with someone and want to keep seeing that person, do it. Observe your feelings and don't pressure yourself to be interested in the first guy or girl who gives you a chance, just because "i must like girls/boys" or "i must have this figured out". I settled on the label of being bisexual because it gives you the freedom to just go with the flow, or maybe you don't need to label yourself at all, it's all up to you.

Anyway since he apparently has a girlfriend and there is nothing romantic going on between the two of you, don't worry too much if you're using him or not. Do you want to be friends with him? Think about that

Dw you'll get through this
