The therapy take is that this feeling comes about because you grew up in an environment where it wasn't emotionally/physically safe for you to relax. Even as an adult with well managed/medicated ADHD, the subconscious parts of your brain are still trying to protect you, so no relaxation allowed. imo, this is extra common in ADHD folk because even parts of our own brains were mad at us for not having executive function.

In particularly bad cases, this can rise to the level of being C-PTSD. Feeling unable to relax is a big indicator that whatever is going on in your head needs to be addressed. Therapy is expensive, but there's ways to get it covered by insurance, especially if you have an ADHD diagnosis.

Echoing the other comment, I don't think you're being unreasonable or unfair.

It could also be worth seeking out relationship counseling/therapy for you and Cheddar. My perception from reading your story is that there could be a lot of communication gaps in your relationship(s). But it's also clear that you're caring and empathetic, so maybe you're only missing some tools and strategies for properly harnessing your empathy.

Truly curious: do you fit the description of a young, female, middle American?

[–] colonelp4nic@lemmy.world 69 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Agreed. Here's my unsolicited rewrite

Maybe sort by "date" instead of date & site?

Sounds like someone could use some more shut the fuck up Friday in their life 😘

Since others don't seem to be having this specific issue, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling Sync? Maybe some data on your phone got corrupted? 🤷

[–] colonelp4nic@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

That's an interesting idea. Do you write a blog or something where I can learn more?

Armchair General here. When they moved their aircraft further back, Russia greatly reduced their range and ordnance options while increasing the time Ukraine had to prepare for the strikes. Similarly, Russia splitting up their stockpiles to reduce strike effectiveness will have a significant impact on Russia's already-strained logistics network. That's the same reason why a relatively low volume of ATACMS has had such a substantial impact on their ability to wage war.
