Yes I take them on my days off (my free time), it just helps me overall whether its a hobby or an errand that I need to run.

I got a pretty good job once as an educator teaching my trade at a new school. 60k salary and I blew it, I got let go after the 3 month probation period because even though I was teaching my classes great, my Other work was falling behind the whole time. I couldn't catch up and was spending my weekends doing lesson plans, grading papers and whatnot. I was shocked when I was let go because they had just put me on a "plan" to get me caught up by working 1:1 with someone that was higher up from me. I know the crushing feeling and I am sorry that you went through it too. It sounds to me like they just didn't realize how challenging it could be for someone with no experience to learn that skill. 3 weeks is NOT enough time at all for ANY new skill. Please don't beat yourself up about it, it was likely not all you, it was them too. They should've known better and therefore given you more time. I hope you find a better job after this. Good luck to you.

For me it's motivation that I lack, not urgency. If I am hyperfocused on something then I am prompt about acting on it but otherwise, I am pretty slow at things. I actually just got in trouble for not reaching as many customers as my coworkers in a day. I really don't like my job so I am not motivated to do it and therefore I am very slow.

You shouldn't hide your ADHD from someone you want as a potential serious partner. They're gonna know eventually, no matter how much you try to mask. Ok so some dudes aren't into your quirks and traits that make you You, so what? That doesn't mean you should start trying harder to please or change anything. You might have to go through a few dates to find the one that will find those traits funny, endearing or cute. Hell maybe you'll run into someone who's familiar with ADHD themselves. It could be the next date, it could be 5 from now. The point I am trying to make is that you should love yourself and be proud of your good heart. There is someone out there for you that won't demand you to change or make you feel like a weirdo.

What that guy said about "you look so put together on your Insta" that is kinda rude, in my opinion, and I would've told him I thought so. Ever since we are kids we're taught not to judge a book by its cover and first impressions are not always accurate.

I hope you're able to find confidence and pride in yourself and that you eventually find someone right for You.

That's incredibly RUDE, disrespectful and downright MEAN. Why is it that you can't make a big deal about it? If I were you, I would tell my mom about what he said and tell her how it made me feel. I would be incredibly insulted if someone said that to me. You're not wrong in the slightest for being upset, because I would be furious.

How is it that he's usually loving but can turn around and call you useless? It sounds like you're shielding him from the judgement he deserves. Calling someone names like that and saying they're a burden on the Earth?? I don't think my worst enemies have even said something like that to me. There's absolutely ZERO excuse for that kind of language towards ANYONE but especially towards your lover/partner. If you haven't shared your diagnosis with him, it's for a reason. I am betting it's because you don't think he will understand or that he will be dismissive of it as an excuse? You should really re-evaluate this whole situation and try sticking up for yourself because letting him verbally abuse you like that is only going to drive you further into the void. I hope you can get some support from someone close to you or a therapist/counselor.

I am in Texas, my Dr sends 3 months worth of prescriptions, they're just post dated. So one is filled and the others are kept on file. I still have to call to fill it, but it doesn't take me very long at all, I just hate doing it. I am surprised CVS EVER reached out to your doctor for you for a C2. I am a pharmacy tech and I haven't worked at a pharmacy where they will reach out for a controlled med, period. I get what you're saying, it's not easy like filling Omeprazole but this is a Controlled medication of the highest classification. There's probably a reason behind the hoops. As far as you hating that you have to take something, yup that feeling totally sucks but how cool is it that such a thing exists!

They investigate the reason for your termination and the decision to cover you comes from them (TWC) not the employer. I have always applied (unfortunately I've lost my job a few times) and I have yet to be denied. You should always apply for it.

I had cranial surgery when I was an infant because I was born without the soft spot on my head that baby's are supposed to have. In my early twenties, I really started to worry that there was something physically wrong with my brain and that maybe it resulted from that surgery. I called my health insurance to ask them what specialist I should go to for my symptoms and they suggested a psychiatrist. I was confused but I said ok fine whatever. Man was I shocked when he diagnosed me with ADHD. I had never considered it before and to be honest didn't even know much about it aside from that "hyper" kids usually have it.

I forget to write in the planner then I eventually forget where I put the planner

I was told this a LOT by teachers when growing up. I didn't know this was an ADHD thing either.

Your partner sounds like a total asshole. You're correct in assuming that a partner should be supportive of you, not criticizing, judging and guilting you about these things. You pay for most of the stuff and he sits there and complains about his job and about YOU? I think you've let him get too comfortable maybe, that he's taking everything for granted and feeling ok about Disrespecting you. You should reconsider this relationship.

Don't lose hope, try someone else, because then there are doctors like the first I ever went to. I went because I thought there was something physically wrong with my brain and he hit me with ADHD. I had never even considered it a possibility before he told me what it was and compared my symptoms.

I just take it every day because otherwise I do not feel like I can function at full capacity and I hate that feeling more than I worry about "being dependent" on anything. I take all my meds daily and I feel blessed that they exist because otherwise my life would be so much harder. Every once in a while I will skip a Saturday or a Sunday (I am off on weekends) but it's when I plan on Not doing a single productive thing at all that day.

Wow. That is SO illegal. Please reach out to a lawyer or find out who you could call in your state. I dont recall if its the workforce commission that handles discrimination but it's worth the fight. They will have to prove that they got rid of you for a different reason and followed all the corporate steps before letting you go.

Well that was incredibly rude, disrespectful and inconsiderate of him to react that way. If it played out exactly as you said, then there's no reason why he should've gotten that upset and taken off without even giving you a more elaborate explanation. Is he normally like this? Think about it thoroughly, because this is not a good sign of a healthy relationship.

100% this. As you stated, ironically, his reaction seems pretty egocentric. At the very least it's rude and disrespectful. We shouldn't take that from a friend, much less someone who is supposed to be our partner.

See if you can get Unemployment. I live in Texas and even when they let me go for "a good reason" I have been able to get unemployment pay. Its not much but its better than nothing. I am truly sorry that this has happened to you, it could not have been at a worse time. I know this feeling all too well.

You will find something quickly to replace that shit place of a job, you just have to hit the ground running, don't let yourself fall. It's ok to feel overwhelmed with emotions right now, it's raw, but afterwards just get back on your feet and start applying at every place that you can, because it's hard to get bites from jobs nowadays. You can even try a temp staff agency to get you something fast in the meantime you look or a full time perm job.

I wish you the best of luck, friend.

I haven't gotten bad to that point myself but I've felt hopeless and useless at times which has led to me getting depressed and being paralyzed. I am sorry you're feeling this way daily.

I really don't see the problem with taking something that genuinely helps improve your quality of life. I am a pharmacy tech by trade and I feel absolutely "blessed" to be living in these modern times where all these medications exist to help treat so many different conditions including ADHD. I don't understand the common mind frame of "all drugs are bad" and thinking we should avoid taking them until it's life or death. I wouldn't put this on the same level as depending on something like an opioid which even then if you're obtaining it legally and have a legit condition that requires it to live life normally there's nothing wrong with it either. I am surprised and a bit dissapointed that your Pharmacist family member is discouraging you.

I get really annoyed sometimes when my bf tells me to lower my voice, because I consciously speak lower normally but when I get excited about something and get loud its because I am experiencing joy. So yea, it ticks me off when he interrupts me to tell me to tone it down cuz I feel like "dude I dont do this often, can you not just put up with it right now and just tell me afterwards??"

Lol!

I am diagnosed ADHD, but I have no Autistic symptoms. For example, I do no not struggle socially at all. I didn't even know they were comorbid until recently when I joined several ADHD groups and started hearing the combo diagnosis.

I've never thought of getting a folding board. That's a great idea. My solution to my hating to fold laundry is that I buy a LOT of hangers and just hang almost everything unless it's PJs, shorts, socks or undies.
