Once again, let’s be human and check in with each other.

How are you doing? How do you feel about the week behind you and the one ahead of you? Any rants or raves? Share whatever feels right!

Discussion can be about ADHD or off-topic.

As I am not a mod of this community, I do not have the capacity to pin this post. I plan on making a post on Sundays where we can check in throughout the week as needed.

Please let me know if there is a better way of doing this - any ideas are welcome :). Grateful to be a part of this community.

    I’m sorry you had a rough week. Asking for support is so important, and it sounds like it may have led to a new beginning, a door opening up. I hope you make new friends and connections! And maybe this coming week will be better.

      Thanks you for asking. I’m still just learning to even be a human, but little by little I’m getting there, and having friends I can call and ask for help means a lot. I feel so sorry for guys who are suffering from the stigma about asking for help with feeling and emotions. Are you feeling okay btw?

        It’s so hard to maintain a tough exterior and not ask for help. I really feel for guys and really anyone raised to be that way, not showing true emotions and afraid of reaching out.

        When you say that you’re just learning to be human, I seriously want to reach through the screen and give you the biggest humanest hug possible. Of course, our lives are different and your definition of “learning to be human” is different from mine, but… I’ve been there in my own way. I hope your journey is as smooth as possible while still being challenging in a positive way. We can’t grow if we don’t leave our comfort zone.

        I’m feeling much better now, I had a chance to replenish my energy with both alone time and some social time with the right people. Thank you for asking!

          Of cause. I think everyone sometimes needs helps, and asking how they are doing is the first step sometimes. If you ever need to talk or something feel free to reach out :) <3
