Re: Most outrageous/unhelpful/flat out stupid things people say..
Don't get you too attached to that feeling, eventually it turns it to "this is better than a really good sandwich". Not saying that love gets boring or stale, it just gets a tad less exciting once you're older. It has too, would you really want to feel drugged for the rest of your life?

Re: Most outrageous/unhelpful/flat out stupid things people say..
In relation to a power point hanging off the wall with wires exposed when we had an autistic toddler: "well you're just going to have to learn to control your kid then aren't you!" Said to us by the real estate agent managing the rental we were in.

Re: Most outrageous/unhelpful/flat out stupid things people say..
Again, regarding depression rather than ADHD (sorry Flo, hope you don't mind)
"What reason do you have to be depressed about?????" (Telling me about person X's troubles) "Now, he/she has got real problems." "But you were in a good mood yesterday/last week/month/year/in another life, why are you now depressed again?" "Why are you down? It can't just be because of xyz ( mentions heartbreaking/shattering/******* good reason for me to be depressed). There has to be something else." ![]() |

Re: Most outrageous/unhelpful/flat out stupid things people say..
Oh that one. All the time. Often preceded or followed by a look that says quite well "I'm pretty sure I should back away from the crazy person."
Granted, they usually have a point, I can go off on tangents or rationalize things that are impossible in a pseudo medical and Syfy way. (You should have seen me once I decided to figure out how vampires would actually be able to exist. My poor friend. I've gotten better at pulling myself back or not sharing my more 'off the wall' patterns of though. ...I also had a friend once pry a coffee tumbler from my hand with the line "What are you ON?!" and sniff it to see what kinda crazy drugs I was seemingly ingesting by the ton. The drink was hot cider, the drug was me plus three hours of sleep. That's one that should definitely be on here. "What are you on?!" or when they find out you're on meds for ADHD, "...Oh dear god. Won't that just make you WORSE?!" (I'm coming down off a migraine, I tend to get more bibbly and hyper presumably to make up for the time I spend under a comforter making low whimpers and trying to resemble the movement properties of a brick. I'm most likely going to be EVERYWHERE. My apologies in advance!)

Re: Most outrageous/unhelpful/flat out stupid things people say..
If it's not for something important I'll just be straight up and say "I probably will be. Sorry."

Re: Most outrageous/unhelpful/flat out stupid things people say..
My favorites are:
1) you just need to try harder 2) you need to not be such a slob, and then you wouldnt lose stuff and forget stuff all the time 3) ADHD is a made up disorder so drug companies can sell more drugs 4) People drug up their kids so they don't have to be parents 5) Its too much sugar and video games 6) You must have not got your *** beat enough as a kids 7) Its an excuse to be lazy 8) Its an excuse to take speed 9) Adults cant have it 10) Ritalin and Adderall are just like coke and meth 11) Kids are spoiled and that is what causes it 12) Did you take your medicine? Because you're acting stupid. 13) You don't make any sense 14) Can i have some of your pills |
