The way I look at it is that the prep work is a large part of it, at the end of the day training with 3 square meals of biscuits won’t see results, fail to prepare, prepare to fail and all that!Hi all, sorry to derail slightly - it's obviously the time of year to think about it but does anyone have any tips for improving their fitness/losing weight? I lost a load of weight when I was on Elvanse but now I'm unmedicated I always eat crap for the dopamineI also don't have anyone who could be a gym buddy to help motivate me, so I feel a bit stuck!! Ant advice much appreciated
Thank you I'm going to be productive and call Monday morning. The annoying thing was I'd practically done a countdown to the appointments and still ended up missing the calls. Thanks so much for your reply really appreciate it xI think you have 3 options with this one, either help from technology (reminders/alarms/calendars), help from a friend/relative to remind you, or take you (if that's what it takes), or help from the practice - explain what the situation is, apologise and see if they do anything for people with memory issues to help them remember and get to appointments?
Would recommend reminders… I tell Siri to remind me about everything (I literally say ‘hey siri’ when it pops into my head), it’s the only way I get something important done. Even if I snooze the reminder a few times, I’ll eventually get it done but means it doesn’t fall off the radarI think you have 3 options with this one, either help from technology (reminders/alarms/calendars), help from a friend/relative to remind you, or take you (if that's what it takes), or help from the practice - explain what the situation is, apologise and see if they do anything for people with memory issues to help them remember and get to appointments?
The fact that this meant so much to you and you still managed to miss it screams ADHD to me.Thank you I'm going to be productive and call Monday morning.

Thank you! So annoying I felt like a weight had been lifted when I booked the appointment and felt so down after, I thought this is it finally going to sort my life out, but third time lucky it is instead! XThe fact that this meant so much to you and you still managed to miss it screams ADHD to me.
Try not to beat yourself up about it, we don’t mean to do it.
It’s hard isn’t it, I had a similar thing in the workplace a few years ago. It turned out they weren’t people I’d have really wanted to hang out with anyway, but it still stung.Hi all,
I’m diagnosed and medicated for ADHD
really suffering with RSD atm (rejection sensitivity). Was left out of a non-work event with people at work where loads went and only a few of us were not invited. I feel like I’ve been punched and like a proper loser. I don’t know what to do 🥲
The receptionists speak to hundreds of people per day, they won’t remember you had other appointments, and it may not be the same doctor each time calling. If it’s brought up it’s great evidence for why you’re struggling and need an assessment. If you can’t face the cringe factor check if they have ePatient facility on their website, you can request appointments or admin online with an eConsultHi I really need some advice! It's stupid really because I know what I need to do but basically my daughter's school called me in to say they wanted to send her for a adhd/asd check. We have had our first phone call and the doctor has accepted her now waiting for the meeting date. When looking into autism / adhd I realised I think this is what I have. I've got major OCD, been on sertraline for anxiety for 8 years and always struggled with day to day life I just feel like I'm drowning constantly and don't stop doing things yet get nothing done. So I was productive and booked myself a doctors appt, my doctors have a system where unless it's an emergency and you need an appt that day they book you in for like 4 weeks time for a telephone appt. Well by the time they called I missed the call even though it was on my calendar so I rang back really embarrassed and booked another appt waited a month and same thing happened it was now the summer holidays and I missed the call. I'm too embarrassed to ring back again and say I've missed it again it's been months. Really can't afford a private appt I know I need to sort this but I'm just so rubbish with appointments.
Oof that’s rough, I’m so sorry, had similar at the weekend where my neighbours all arranged a night out and mine was the only house not invited 🫠Hi all,

Are you me? I feel EXACTLY the same! I get so anxious that I’m going to mess up and be too weirdDoes anyone have any advice on friendships. I'm really sociable and good at greetings but it doesn't go much further I really struggle to have friendships on a deeper level? I had a friend recently who was really negative and everytime I saw her she just wanted to gossip about people it was so draining I couldn't see her anymore. I have someone I've become friends with but I am so fond of her I'm worried I'm going to mess up the friendship? She's going to realise I'm quite strange. Sorry this all sounds ridiculous i know.
Same and I feel like I'm constantly texting afterwards to clear up things I've said. Like I even find myself annoying I don't know how anyone puts up with me! Eg last week saying goodbye at the school dropping kids off she said "bye have a great day" I reply "Hi" or she says "enjoy swimming" I reply "you too" when she's not going I am just weird stuff. I've tried meditating so I slow down and actually think about what people are saying and how to answer but it just doesn't help.Are you me? I feel EXACTLY the same!

Have you ever had a friend who also is, or suspected to be adhd? The few I’ve met are an instant click and I never feel like I’m on eggshells in the same waySame and I feel like I'm constantly texting afterwards to clear up things I've said.

I don't think so I find it so difficult even with my own family. I've learnt when not to talk, feel like I've been biting my tongue my whole life to be honest until I met my husband. He is the only person who completely gets me. Also I like to keep people at arms length it just works so much better until I feel lonely or realise I'm lacking certain friendships.Have you ever had a friend who also is, or suspected to be adhd?

I've found this too. I've got a neighbour who is so much on my level with the ADHD although I've not asked him if he has a diagnosis, and we get on so well. His (adult) kid says its impossible to follow our conversations though.Have you ever had a friend who also is, or suspected to be adhd?
