I just wonder if it actually did get worse or it just seems like that because as an adult you have a lot more on your plate than you did when you were a kid/teen
I’m 50 and I have my ADHD assessment in a month. I’m in software too similar to OP. for me the impulsiveness has gotten worse where i react with deregulated emotional outbursts that are affecting me and my family. I’ve got a bunch of processes to handle a lot of the symptoms but impulsiveness was never something I noticed I had until recently. I’ve always known i don’t have much of a filter, blurting out whatever is forefront in my head. I’ve asked a number of my medicated friends and I’m told the medication does help with the emotional impulsiveness, providing the time to filter. but it does feel weird doing this at 50 🤯
yeah I’m also starting counselling really just to talk around the issues and to get a sense of understanding of them. i concur, meds are one part of the solution. self awareness through study and conversation are another significant part. however I’m stuck on how to interrupt impulsiveness when it’s the impulsiveness that comes before the interrupt, if you get what I’m saying… so i think i need to slow the machine down, give it time to interrupt myself 🤪
because I’m one of the good guys. it’s my responsibility to assist the human race continue, by bringing up kids who are loved, cared for, educated, free of all prejudice, and can be whomever they want to be. There are too many assholes in the world and we need some good people to offset the craziness. there are obvious issues bringing kids into the world of climate change and burgeoning ww3 but my time is limited on this earth, I can’t wait for a better time. i have two beautiful children, 11 and 6, girl and boy. both are amazing. being a parent is the hardest job ever. but the most rewarding ever. to all you good dad’s out there. you rock. grow into the man you want to be to share your life with them. they don’t stay tiny for long. enjoy every moment. be there. sacrifice. do whatever it takes to bring up the best children you can. we all got this

The only way a yes is possible is if it goes hand in hand with political education of what each party stands for and the history of their policies. You can’t force people to vote without ensuring they understand what they are voting for, else you must get a scatter gun effect at the pols of random votes or uninformed votes and we saw how that worked for brexit. Manipulation is too easy. Education education education to coin Tony Blair, but start political eduction at secondary school. Then in ten years make voting mandatory. Also limit voting to under 70yrs, after that age you don’t really have a good grasp of current issues so you shouldn’t be able to vote on them. Leave that to the younger population who have more invested in the future…
that’s exactly what I had a few weeks ago, horrendous sore throat, pretty grim all over, negative COVID tests. figured it’s a new variant or the tests I’m using are too old I’m in NZ for perspective
just legalise it already I’m so over this BS attitude of how it will harm society. let the government tax it and take the money from the gangs. saying that, the NAct move to return pseudoephedrine is just going to wash the country in cheap meth and cause a massive societial issue, way more than smoking weed will ever do www.1news.co.nz/…/pharmacists-fear-reversing-pseu…
I’m so happy with this. NZF screw everything they touch so making National and Act work with NZF is going to stick on their craw. its beautiful. but then a right wing government truly sucks. expect more asset sales and more crappy policies helping the rich and screwing the poor. just a shame we didn’t get enough for labour/tmp/green coalition hopefully they’ll fuck up so badly everyone goes green/red next election

Anyone else feel like their ADHD was always there but got progressively worse as an adult?
I just wonder if it actually did get worse or it just seems like that because as an adult you have a lot more on your plate than you did when you were a kid/teen

Why did you decide to become a parent?
Just that. Can be accidental pregnancy. Can be that your partner wanted to have kids, but it has to be why YOU made the decision.
