I just saw my doctor about these things you describe maybe two weeks ago. (Get out of my life!) For me, it’s been going on for a good five years. I told the doctor that I didn’t seek help earlier because I just assumed I am deeply flawed and lazy and dumb and weak, etc. She was like, “Absolutely not. Women do this to…

Im hoping kinja will let me post a screenshot, IDK where it’s from originally but I’ve seen it floating around and I cant tell you how much its helped me with this very thing.

Thanks! I didn’t know deadsplinter was a thing. I knew about the Discord but I wasn’t going to sign up. I’ll check it out.

I have been diagnosed anxiety, depression, and what’s supposedly adhd but I suspect could be more like asperger’s (there’s a lot of overlap with those two). All 3 of those can cause things like you described for different reasons. For example, cleaning the kitchen. Depression makes it hard to even start. With anxiety…

It could also be anxiety. I’ve never been diagnosed with ADHD or been suggested to get tested for it by my therapist, but I identify with a lot of what you wrote. I think because there’s a lot of external pressure at work for 40+ hours a week, the internal drive and motivation to do something gets beaten down. I have…

Thank you for sharing.

I have the problem at home you describe AND it is a huge struggle to concentrate at work also.  I have ADHD diagnosed.  Adderall helps with feeling more motivated and focused which helps wirh work.  Not as much at home, partly because by the time I get home adderall has worn off and partly b:c I just hate  alot if the…

I’m so impressed with your ability to figure that out. Im a problem solver of a similar variety.  Also, l believe you live in Seattle? so also glad you figured it out before you got ticketed. 

So, I have never been diagnosed with anything and I don’t expect you Jezzies to give me a medical diagnosis. Just sort of wondering if anyone else has experienced this and didn’t necessarily want to turn to reddit.

Well, my rotten family managed to “forget” my birthday (happening since I was a little girl and birthdays really mattered) and later, ruined it with a smear campaign and some solid gaslighting. My mother somehow is the victim in all of this drama that she deliberately caused. Nice. A veritable hat trick of callously…

Months ago, my husband lost his car keys, and when he had a locksmith come out and rekey the car, he decided to only rekey the steering column, since he can just use his fob to unlock the door and the locksmith wanted another $100 to do the door. A week ago the fob stopped working, and replacing the battery in the fob …

I’m so sorry, Wallflower. Sounds like there was nothing you could have done, since the police were being called. It’s obvious you would have helped if needed. It might be best for you to try and intentionally visualize this from different perspectives: Try to see that scene from up above, and focus only on that person…

I saw someone get hit by a car yesterday, or the immediate aftermath. It was awful. I thought the car that hit the person and 2 other cars were already stopped to help. Someone was already on the phone with the police so I didn’t stop. I can’t stop seeing it. The story made the news and it was actually quite a bit…

My cousin couldn’t breathe and he had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance (he’s 26, so he’s still young enough to be on his mother’s insurance). Come to find out, his lung collapsed. He’s now in a medically-induced coma because the doctors want his body to heal.

Hi Jezzies,

I think he means she’s out of step with the Democratic Party as a political whole, which is in many ways true — and which, considering someone like AOC is center-left at best in the grand scheme of things, doesn’t say very comforting things about the Democratic Party as a political whole.

There’s an insurance company uses the advertising tagline “We get you”, and it really pisses me off. I don’t want my insurance company to get me, I want it to pay for my stuff if it gets trashed or stolen. That’s what insurance companies are for. Stay in your fucking lane and pay for my stuff, insurance company, leave …

High waisted, short length pants look like you don’t know how to put pants on.

Also, there is no barrel of crackers, which disappointed me.

ALL THIS!!
