Any of you ever get the feeling of wanting to have a break from yourself? I sometimes fantasize that I drop everything and run off, but then I realize it would not change anything because I can't outrun myself. I can only describe it as being exhausted of having myself around all the time...

Today is the second day I didn't complete an important task at work despite telling my coworkers I would do it last week. Instead I spent over an hour on Reddit. I couldn't even go home and actually have some nice free time because I didn't manage to get up to pack and leave.

I am now at home, overwhelmed because there are at least three different people I have been wanting to call for several days now

Context: I am not (yet) diagnosed, but I suspecting and am trying to make sense of my experiences. I cleaned up this post using AI.

I have this recurring "symptom" ever since I entered the professional world, and I was wondering if any of you who are diagnosed have similar experiences.

I work with many stakeholders, including management. It is stressful because I am always on high alert during meetings, trying not to say or do something wrong. The most painful part, though, is the feeling of "dread" I get after meetings with people I don't know well (i.e., I don't know what is important to them, what they dislike, etc.), especially if they are higher up in the hierarchy.

It is hard to de

Hallo zusammen, ich hatte nun das zweite Jahr in Folge bei einer Mehrtagestour (7-9 Tage) Schmerzen im unteren Rücken, und frage mich, was ich prophylaktisch noch machen kann.

Ein bisschen Kontext: Ich bin weiblich, ca. 68kg schwer. Ich mache seit ca. 6 Jahren jedes Jahr Mehrtageswanderungen von Unterkunft zu Unterkunft. Letztes Jahr war ich zum ersten Mal mit Zelt wild campen. Letztes Jahr waren wir so 7 Tage unterwegs, dieses Jahr 9 Tage.

Bei diesen Mehrtageswanderungen mit Zelt hatte ich nun in beiden Jahren nach ca. 3 Tagen Schmerzen in der LWS. Bei den Wanderungen mit Unterkunft hatte ich das bisher noch nie. Die Schmerzen sind tagsüber unangenehm zwickend, aber nicht so stark, dass

I have recently learned about myself that I may have ADHD (and currently trying to get a doctor's appointment).

Since I had the realization, I am viewing a lot of things from my past in a different light. Something that I can't entirely make sense of, however, is how the first covid lockdown (in Europe) positively affected me. I think I was never so in much at peace with myself before or after.

I was worrking in academia at the time and had a desk job. I had to move from the office to work from home entirely. I was staying in contact with my coworkers online. It was spring, and I spent so much time on the terrace of my flat, enjoying the sun. I had routines that I managed to keep up real

I recently made the discovery that I may have ADHD. I am in the process of finding someone that can diagnose me (but that's a different topic).

Since I started my suspicion about ADHD, I have been observing potential symptoms more closely - realizing that there were a lot more symptoms than I was aware.

However, since then I have the feeling that the intensity of the symptoms is increasing. And I have been wondering wether that is something that you have observed as well? Even my bf has made a comment in that direction.

I feel more clumsy and forgetful. And procrastination is a lot worse than usually (may be linked to the fact that a lot of people are on vacation right now, and I struggle

Let me start by saying that I am not diagnosed (yet). I have already contacted my former therapist to ask whether they are doing ADHD Diagnostics or know someone who does.

I am in my mid 30ies now. It NEVER occurred to me that I might have ADHD until a few weeks ago.

My brother has severe ADD and was diagnosed as a kid. A few weeks ago Iearned that my dad thinks he and his dad both had undiagnosed ADHD. That was when I learned that there is a high genetic factor to ADHD and that women often get diagnosed only later in life because they are better at masking.

Despite this, I doubted I have it, too. I was always good at school (despite being lazy), did a PhD, I am successful at work. But t

This is a short horror story, but I still shake my head about it. Not sure it fits the "SA" trigger warning, but it contains inappropriate behavior at minimum.

Many years ago, I was very interested in RPG but only had played one session before. So I was very excited when I got an opportunity to play again:

My bf at the time was playing a campaign with some of his friends online. His character had a love interest in the campaign, which was an NPC. When I got to know his friends, the DM had the great idea to invite me to one of the sessions and let me play said NPC for one session. For reference: I (f) was around 19 and my ex was 1-2 years older than me. The DM (m) was in his thirties, an

My posts have been constructive until here, but I really need to vent today.

I have had Gastritis for over four months now, it's my second time, and it is slowly getting better. I am not the most patient person, but I am doing my best. Step by step.

However other people seem to be so much less patient than me. It's disbelief over and over again, like it is my fault that I am not fully recovered yet. Sorry, it takes forever to get a GI appointment here - what do you want me to do? I am so happy that I am feeling slowly better, but they just see that I still can't eat "normal".

Now we have a team meeting and we are going to a cooking class! I mean I understand that we are > 20 people and n
