I live with my elder parents. I seldom spent time with them because of work or because I rather hanging out with friends. But in lockdown it was just the three of us. They are seniors. Sometimes forget stuff, sometimes struggles with technology. Things work slower with them and honestly, patience is not my strongest point. But I learnt to slow down, take time to understand other people and cherish the time I've got left with my elders.

TL;DR - if it feels like something is off with mental or physical health, advocate for yourself until you get answers. You’re worth it.
It took months of pandemic lockdown to figure out why working from home reduced my stress about 80% compared to an office. Despite long term therapy and many unsuccessful treatments for anxiety, depression, and PTSD - I hadn’t seen much improvement to those issues. All the puzzle pieces started coming together after exploring why remote work was better for me, and my first time hearing about inattentive ADHD on TikTok. I researched clinical websites (Mayo Clinic, NIH, etc.) and fit almost every diagnostic criteria perfectly - turns out I had ADHD signs and symptoms since childhood. Even found research that adult women with undiagnosed ADHD often have depression and anxiety that don’t respond to standard treatment… major lightbulb moment. I advocated for myself and got to a psychiatrist, then was immediately diagnosed and medicated. Treating the ADHD changed my whole life. I cried the first day I took meds because I had never known what ‘calm’ felt like before. I have seen dramatic improvements in self-care, mood management, depression, some anxieties, and am even able to work on some PTSD blocks I’d been stuck on in therapy for years. Now 19 months into working from home and having more mental space to learn about managing ADHD in my daily life, I finally have hope again.

But the conservatives have some good ideas too, such as personal responsibility and not relying on the government too much. The two sides seem mutually exclusive, but the fact is that the best approach depends on the situation. Like sometimes it's better to make someone take responsibility for themself rather than help them with charity, and sometimes charity is the better approach. Applying the same solution to all situations is like having only one tool in your toolbox. 1 1point reply View more comments Anyone can write on Bored Panda. Start writing!

I live with my elder parents. I seldom spent time with them because of work or because I rather hanging out with friends. But in lockdown it was just the three of us. They are seniors. Sometimes forget stuff, sometimes struggles with technology. Things work slower with them and honestly, patience is not my strongest point. But I learnt to slow down, take time to understand other people and cherish the time I've got left with my elders.

TL;DR - if it feels like something is off with mental or physical health, advocate for yourself until you get answers. You’re worth it.
It took months of pandemic lockdown to figure out why working from home reduced my stress about 80% compared to an office. Despite long term therapy and many unsuccessful treatments for anxiety, depression, and PTSD - I hadn’t seen much improvement to those issues. All the puzzle pieces started coming together after exploring why remote work was better for me, and my first time hearing about inattentive ADHD on TikTok. I researched clinical websites (Mayo Clinic, NIH, etc.) and fit almost every diagnostic criteria perfectly - turns out I had ADHD signs and symptoms since childhood. Even found research that adult women with undiagnosed ADHD often have depression and anxiety that don’t respond to standard treatment… major lightbulb moment. I advocated for myself and got to a psychiatrist, then was immediately diagnosed and medicated. Treating the ADHD changed my whole life. I cried the first day I took meds because I had never known what ‘calm’ felt like before. I have seen dramatic improvements in self-care, mood management, depression, some anxieties, and am even able to work on some PTSD blocks I’d been stuck on in therapy for years. Now 19 months into working from home and having more mental space to learn about managing ADHD in my daily life, I finally have hope again.

The pandemic did not allow me to go out, not even to Dr. Appointments-All done through the telephone, even still (09/20/21).
The main thing that I have learned is that I totally enjoy my own company. I am really happy spending time with Me! I am a decent person, funny-way too Funny (I keep myself entertained and laughing all the day long). I am my own best friend and I will never let myself down.
I also learned that the world has become a nasty, hateful place. And being disabled and needing to stay home, is not that bad at all. I am actually glad that I stay home.
