Congrats and good luck!

This is becoming a huge problem for me.

So you still wanted the kids? It didn't cause you to hesitate? I knew very early that I wouldn't have kids. Could be because my mother told us that kids ruin your life, though.

This is me every weekend.

 

When I was a kid, I was punished excessively. My diagnosis occurred when I was 25. In the 1980s, I got paddled every day at school and was punished constantly. It made me feel rejected, leading to rejection sensitivity dysphoria. By the time I was 9, I decided life was not worth living and have not changed my mind at 45 years old. I would never have a child to suffer the way I did. I still feel like nobody wants me around. My mental health issues have severely impacted my quality of life. I'm just now figuring out that this might be why I have never felt my clock tick, or thought for even a second of my life that I wanted kids.

Has this happened to anyone else? I wonder how many in this forum might have decided against parenthood due to ADHD effects without realizing it.

Could be a trap though, knowing how bad things are.

I never thought about that, but you're right. I was wondering why that kept happening.

The tech is so opressive. My ipod is my favorite toy because I can listen to music and it doesn't track me and sell my info.

It's sensitivity to rejection that I think comes from being punished way more than normal kids due to "bad behavior." You'd think after you beat a kid 100 times and it doesn't work that maybe there might be another avenue they could consider. Now they want to say ADHD kids are overdiagnosed, and those excessive punishments will probably start happening like it did in the 1980s before people knew what ADHD was.

They accurately recognized my face from a picture that was over ten years old. I no longer look like I did in the picture. This is going to get bad now that our fascist state authoritarians are everywhere jerking off with their riches and superiority. They have this tech and will do terrible things with it. Impending doom...

Why does everyone dislike snap? I just didn't want to use Canonical products, but I was unaware that others didn't like it.

I'm a beginner, and this was helpful. Just wish there was a vpn/security supplementary post. I used to run a ps3 media server off Ubuntu about 15 years ago, but haven't tried Plex or Jellyfin yet. Thanks OP for sharing!
