I seen €900 initial assessment and €70 adhd review but that's hardly it, seems too good to be true.

Also, does he offer online appointments or only in person?

I have to get my diagnosis, my GP thinks I have ADHD and it is the source of my mental torture and anxiety but she can't prescribe anything without it and I just want to be able to function and am exhausted of feeling this way. That being said, I can't afford to spend €2000 on a diagnosis without being sure it is a reliable doctor. Nearly went for the Newcastle Clinic until I've seen this sub!

I met my now fiance when I was 20 (he was 44) and working in a bar. We instantly had a connection and I fell hard for him. He was going through a divorce and showered me with gifts and money . I really fell hard for him but when I graduated college I moved away . We kept in contact and he would visit me but we weren’t in a serious relationship. Fast forward to a few years later my job continently had me move back to my hometown , where we met and where he lived . (During this time I’m 23)We connected and reignited our relationship. Although it has been strong sometimes it feels like I’m an object of attachment rather than love. He always says how he’s always been attached to me and even only dated women who looked like me after our first time in relationship. We have a lot of similar interests and I love how he is . But he has changed a lot to seem to cater to my specific interests/type. I’m now 26 and sometimes I feel like I won’t find better since he showers me with love and gifts , but I also get the weird feeling like I need to be with someone my own age to feel normal.

Edit - it is clear I have not been groomed rather manipulated or love bombed .

I (22F) have been with my boyfriend (28M) for almost 2 years. Overall he’s been good to me, but his “dark humor” is starting to destroy me.

My mom passed away from cancer 3 years ago. It was the worst thing I’ve ever gone through. I’ve told him multiple times that jokes about her are completely off-limits.

Last weekend we were at a small gathering with his friends. He joked that my mom “must be relieved she doesn’t have to deal with my emotional baggage anymore.” A couple guys laughed. I told him right there it wasn’t funny and to never say anything like that again. He rolled his eyes and called me too sensitive.

Yesterday it happened again while we were alone. He said something like “At least your mom doesn’t have to see how crazy you get during your period.” I lost it. I told him that was his final warning — if he ever makes another joke about my dead mom, I’m done with the relationship.

Now he’s saying I’m overreacting, that dark humor is just who he is, and that I “knew what I was getting into.” His friends are also texting me saying I need to chill and that I’m trying to change him.

I feel like I’m going insane. I’ve been crying all day. Is it really that big of a deal to expect basic respect for my dead mother? AIO?

TL;DR: Boyfriend keeps making dark jokes about my mom who died of cancer. I gave him an ultimatum and now everyone says I’m too sensitive.
