I'm sorry he's putting you through this. From someone whose ex was a total control freak but I didn't realise until we split up there is better out there. I remember when he locked me out the house for being 10 mins "late" home and I thought it was normal. Look after yourself and don't let him ruin your self worth.
Because if you listened to them all, you'd think everyone's got it. They don't seem to realise there's so much more to it than "oh haha, look at me, I'm so easily distracted!" 
It's the constant videos "signs you have adhd" that duck me off. Or someone posts on a Facebook group that their kid is so cute and lines his cars up, then you have a million twats yelling AUTISMMMM in the comments. Rips my knitting!I've seen my best friend go through this with her daughter. Months waiting for the meds, months getting the dosage right, months of side effects, then the stress of being told they're unavailable and having to switch to something else.
These self-diagnosing social media idiots are the reason people come out with "I think everyone is a little bit ADHD."
I hope you get your meds soon.
Lucky you being diagnosed early enough that you didn’t have to muddle through life like those in their 30s and 40s
Is this whole 'give us you emailadress' thing another gift that came with Brexit? I can't remember when it started. Because it certainly does not conform with the EU's GDPR directive, and being automatically subscribed to mailing lists and newsletters is also a big no no - you should have to confirm you are the owner of this emailadress first, and they'd have to provide an unsubscribe option in every email they send you.I just say I don't have an email address.
Not the staffs fault and any lurking supervisor can't get round that - short of calling me a liar.
But no receipt means no returnmy name is an absolute nightmare to spell (and fairly unusual) so i hate standing there having to spell it multiple timesand even then they never take it right, i’ve never successfully had a receipt from there! i hate being blunt with shop assistants but i’ve started just saying i’m not comfortable giving my email so either i’ll have a paper receipt or not one at all
i keep meaning to, like said above, start a throwaway email address for them but i’m also very petty and begrudge doing it
Surely those self diagnosing aren’t getting medicated? Therefore won’t affect supply issues of meds- you’d only get medicated if you have a genuinely diagnosed condition..
Exactly and if social media has lead to a rise is people being diagnosed and subsequently medicated, then have some compassion for the fact they will have struggled without medication for years and years!
It is the years of accumulations that does it - bit at a time. That said our Christmas tree will be almost 'paid off' this year - £15 on Boxing Day about 13 years ago - Kids were tiddlers and thought the missus could do with some peace for a few hours - so off we trotted to Homebase in Cardiff - the manager was stripping the Christmas tree display and frantically building a bedroom display - I noticed he had 6 8ft Christmas trees all new boxed - said jokingly how much each if I take the lot - his opening was £20 a piece - I half joking said how about £15 a piece - he only went and bloody agreed.It’s our first year in our home and we have no Christmas decs - used fo not bother when we had a flat as 1) no room and 2) we’d spend the whole Christmas season at our parents anyway.
I’ve spent £300+ on Christmas decor and I feel like it’s really not stretched far at all! And we’ve not gone for expensive stuff, just some garlands and ceramic trees etc. how did our parents used to make it look like such a winter wonderland? Was it the foil plastic stars on the ceilings that did it?
Or, those with undiagnosed ADHD and autism are no longer suffering with anxiety and depression due to finally being correctly diagnosed and medicated.
literally typed out “I told you he was a selfish prick years ago” to my mum and then deleted it again as I don’t want to upset her further. It’s utter madness. You definitely find out who your friends are, Christ, you find out who your real family are, too. Cunts, the lot of them.
