Thank you friend :)
I'm starting to believe what people say about procrastination being a form of self-harm. When you miss something important it makes you feel terrible. I used to get nervous about deadlines but I'm slowly getting over it. The dread I feel after putting something in that isn't perfect isn't as bad as how missing deadlines makes me feel.
Is it the act of doing the task with the deadline or the deadline itself?

The act of doing the task with the deadline.
Glad to see a mental health thread. I suffer from different types of anxiety (social, traveling, when there's a deadline, etc) Im also ADD. I'm on meds for the anxiety but not the ADD. The anxiety meds gives me a bad headache which then makes the anxiety worse lol. For my ADD I'm learning my triggers.
@oops, how do you deal with deadline situation?
[QUOTE=babyblob;5779177]Just want to take a minute to post some good news. I have had 3 weeks 22 days with no voices in my head. My longest stretch ever! The meds I am on are working very well. On one had that is a very good thing. On the other hand I have been feeling very lonely. I have been hearing voice for over 20 years with only a break of a couple days of not hearing them. I have always heard them on some level loud or soft. Right now I am not hearing them at all.
I do very much miss them and a couple times thought about not taking my meds. But I know I can not do that.
I am still having a lot of issues leaving the house and being around most people.
The girl that I have been seeing her name is Kaye has been coming over once a week and we are going to up that to 2 times a week. Longest time spending time together has been 5 hours in one time. That is a huge step for the 2 of us as she has a lot of issues that I do as well.
So all in all things have been going mostly well :)[/QUOTE]
Hope everything is still going well for you.

I am glad you found this thread. Everyone here is a big help and very supportive. I am not great with advice but i will always listen. I hope you will post here when you need to :)
And thank you for the well wishes :)
Thank you. Sometimes I find just having a listening ear helps more than getting advice.

Please share whenever you need to. The worst thing we can do is keep it in till things get out of hand. If you ever need an ear to listen my pms are open.
I've mentioned before in this thread that I have ADHD. Something that often comes with ADHD is called RSD, Rejection-Sensitive Dysphoria. I've known about it for several years but just in the last few weeks I realized that I have it and it's been complicating my relationship with my wife. I feel better just having figured this out. Next I need to figure out what to do with this knowledge.

I have never heard of this. What happens with it?

I'll let [i]ADDitude[/i] magazine describe it (from [url]https://www.additudemag.com/rejection-sensitive-dysphoria-and-adhd/):[/url]
[quote]Rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) is extreme emotional sensitivity and pain triggered by the perception that a person has been rejected or criticized by important people in their life. It may also be triggered by a sense of falling short—failing to meet their own high standards or others’ expectations.
Dysphoria is Greek for “difficult to bear.” It’s not that people with attention deficit disorder (ADHD or ADD) are wimps, or weak; it’s that the emotional response hurts them much more than it does people without the condition. No one likes to be rejected, criticized or fail. For people with RSD, these universal life experiences are much more severe than for neurotypical individuals. They are unbearable, restricting, and highly impairing.[/quote]
