My husband [dx]was diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago and one thing we’ve always struggled with is whenever I bring up something that’s difficult for me. He tends to put a positive spin on it and then gets easily distracted and talks about something else. I know he sold me in the past that he struggles with having serious conversation because he wants to be joking and laughing all the time, but it’s getting seriously hard to deal with it. I’m diagnosed with bipolar two and I was telling him today how sad I felt and sometimes I don’t even realize when the conversation is switching over to something else, but somehow we ended up talking about something else completely meaningless and I just feel like he doesn’t understand the serious gravity of things and gets easily distracted when I talk about serious things I try to give him the benefit of the doubt because I know that having an ADHD is super hard, but it gets a little bit annoying after a while

Wondering if anyone was diagnosed without lap. I know it’s the way only to confirm it and ultrasound doesn’t always show. But for those of you who were diagnosed without it, did you go to a specialist? How did you push to get diagnosed without surgery? And what methods did they use?
My symptoms if anyone is wondering
- pain in my anus/rectum during sex, especially missionary
- same pain during my period, using the bathroom is so painful and I have the stabbing shooting pain there too especially when I’m cramping
- cramps have gotten worse over time, I do have 2 4cm fibroids that could be the culprit of that though. My doctor told me that my fibroids are pushing on my bladder.
Anyway, I’m going to get properly diagnosed of course, I just really want to avoid lap as much as possible.
I was let go earlier this year because I couldn’t find a new project ( PDM talent model). The job search has been absolutely brutal. I am still looking and it feels like there’s no end in sight. Looking to hear some of the experiences of people that had to look elsewhere post Deloitte. Maybe some happy stories to give me hope?
I was recently diagnosed and got put on lamictal. I’m not a therapeutic dose, just the starter 25mg. First few days felt damn near sedated but in a great mood, I felt really “calm” now it’s been 2 weeks, I’m buying wigs, rebranding my IG, one night I couldn’t stop staring at my instagram thinking how genius my rebrand was and how amazing I looked in my pfp. Now I’m back to barely sleeping.i can’t stop the racing thoughts again. I know ris really naïve to think that I was healed on a baby dose but I genuinely my thought I was getting better. The good thing tho I haven’t experienced a depressive episode, which are usually right around corner. I am, however not feeling super motivated and kind of ambivalent towards my hobby. Ugh. Anyway, I am asking, if anyone had similar experiences starting lamictal and does it get better?
