I’ve been at my current job for four years now. For three years I enjoyed it, but then came a new process. I want to quit but the circumstances aren’t right right now. I just can’t stand this newer process, it’s just mind bogglingly bad. And every part of it is like the exact antithesis of what I can accomplish easily with my ADHD. Not that I’m hiding behind my diagnosis, but it just feels like every step of every single thing I have to do is in direct contrast to things I have the ability and executive function for. I want to scream.

I don’t know if there is active prevention, but I’m about to ask my boss to have a meeting to tell her that I am falling way behind because of this switch up. Basically cry for help - but really rather than help,I hope I can just fill a vacancy that deals with our legacy records and data, where my mind works.

You do you, boo. I just want to see what I’m watching ;-;

I guess I’ve gotta figure this out. It’s pretty new and I thought it was supposed to just be able to help with the darkness. But I dunno

Depending on where you live, a bike can do wonders. I hate the gym too, but being able to ride my bike and see different places and things at my own pace is really motivating for me.

This is the version I know. Definitely a banger song

I’m going to second the college info. My ex phoned his CS degree in and didn’t have anything to show for his skills when it came time to find a job.

I hustled, kept my grades up, and was honest with my professors when I didn’t understand something. I got an internship across the country and as soon as I came back the main professor for my major helped get me two more internships while he also helped try to find me connections with his old jobs. I know I’m not the only one he did this with.

But now I’ve been working for a unionized job with my degree for 4 years and am climbing up the ladders.

Put in effort and try to be your honest self and it raises your chances of things working out.

Getting an associates degree can help you a lot if you have the ability to do so. There are a lot of medical jobs that you can nab with a 2 year degree. X-ray tech, cat scan tech, MRI tech, ultrasound tech, etc. You can also do back of house stuff such as medical coding or IT for hospitals. You can also get an associates in chemistry and work in a lab. You can work as an insurance actuary. Maybe look up what certifications your local community college offers. Certs usually lead to jobs.

If school isn’t in your budget yet, or just not your thing, landscaping is almost always hiring, as are construction jobs. They’re hard on your body, but it’s a job to start with. Someone mentioned trucking, a CDL is a great idea. Again, not easy work, but it’ll pay the bills until you feel like doing something else. Forklift certifications are good to have as well, although I’m not positive on how long those take.

You have a lot of options for sure, and you’re young. The world is your oyster, it’s just up to you to put in the effort.

The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity

It’s a new anime and it’s more focused on the kids, but the relationship the main has with his family is so good. Honestly all of the characters are just so darn good. They’re all so wholesome and just good.

One of the jumps startled a couple next to me who had a bunch of snacks and whatever was in their hand went absolutely flying. Every time they moved, you’d hear another thing fall to the ground. It unfortunately took me out of the movie a bit because it was so funny

Dance like nobody’s watching. Get that stanky leg goin

I was. I was scared for the other person, similar to another commenter. Without me, they were going to have nothing. But I got sick of setting myself on fire to keep them warm, and I was crawling out of my skin with misery.

Our divorce will be finalized soon and I feel better than ever. Now that I’m on the other side of it all and healing, I just can’t believe how long I stayed. No one in my support network liked them and honestly I really don’t like them either, now that I’m gone.

And despite all of my fears of them being destitute and depressed, they’ve realized they’re a freaking adult and can stand on their own two feet. Crazy how that works

Yes

I was curious too so I looked it up.

Pens. Lighters. And razors for shaving. Mostly the single use ones.

But also

BIC has drawn criticism for maintaining its business operations in Russia after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

:C

More of an answer to the title question, but absolutely.

I left home at 18 to join the military, but my high school friends were still close knit. We’ve grown apart, but there are so many wild differences in the group as a whole now that we’re full fleged adults and have been for a little bit. We’re all so different now, it’s pretty wild.

One had a kid early in her 20s and struggled to get through schooling while raising a kid and supporting her household. She found solid work and had to drop her degree to focus on that. One got into a big company and has fast tracked promotions until moving to another company for big money. Once settled into that, had kids and now is living the classic American upper middle class lifestyle. One happened upon an internship that completely changed her degree trajectory and now she’s incredibly happy in a position no one would have expected for her. I don’t know if kids are on the menu, but she’s certainly enjoying traveling for now.

And then I’m sort of starting all over after ending a long term relationship and moving and getting a new group of friends locally and and and.

So absolutely everyone has hugely different priorities. Maybe not as self centered as your mate’s, but life has really worked all of us into different paths.

Cleaning. With ADHD I cannot manage enough executive function to do things well, so good enough is good enough.

For example, I hate laundry, it’s the worst chore. But I’ve created shortcuts that are all stupid and mediocre, but it makes the chore doable. I don’t fold my shirts, they just go in a bin, I don’t fold shorts or tank tops, I don’t do much for pants. I don’t care about wrinkles and it’s at least clean and put away and that’s good enough

My first car was $12k USD off the lot.

I just bought a new car after nearly two decades of my first and it was $42k. It’s not even anywhere near upper end, it’s one of the most basic daily drivers there are.

I’m gonna guess Game of Thrones

The therapist I’m seeing now is big on this kind of thing. Not so much as the OP where we’re trying to feel emotions in the body, but more that we’re trying to feel the reactions and bigger emotions in the context of time. As in “How old is this part of you that feels this?”

It’s very helpful, in my opinion, because it’s allowing me to heal parts of myself that suffered the trauma, and it’s allowing the PTSD to feel less like a jump scare and more like an understanding.

Ohhhhh. I didn’t know this. I’ll give it a shot, thanks!

Unfortunately my forgetful and ADHD and idiot nature won’t let me. I have to stick to my end of month routine or else it won’t get paid
