Club should make a clear and firm statement against this disgusting homophobic booing

Not only is it morally reprehensible, but it puts their own team off the god damn game. Speak out against it, do not mince words.

Edit: jesus christ they’re real; the same people i’m talking about actually know how to use a phone AND make a reddit account

Diagnosed with “severe” ADHD as a 30 year old- finding it tougher than I thought

I knew something was wrong for a fair while- it took me a really long time to be able to commit financially and time wise to get fully assessed and supported.

I was honestly really worried about being stigmatised because of how many people say they have ADHD- it feels like every second person you meet, and to me it had seemed like a lot of people were shirking responsibility and choosing an easy out, even before actually being diagnosed or seeing a professional.

Since finally being diagnosed, which involved reviewing old school reports, recounting my life so far, everything has felt quite overwhelming.

Suddenly i’m aware that I bite my hands/fingers as hard as I can to focus on my work, aware that I’m racing in my head to hurry to every meeting, run to everything, speak as soon as I get spoken to…

And it goes back. All the isolation I felt as a kid, other kids not being as engaged with me as I was with them, getting in constant trouble for losing things or forgetting homework, struggling with my emotions, years of self harm and a few suicide attempts, inability to even land a job as a dishwasher because I’d be inevitably sacked.

Learning that this entire journey- this constant fight to just be normal and not get sacked, or maintain a friendship or do basic chores- is not because I didn’t do good enough. It wasn’t because I was a failure.

After 30 years… I never had a chance to actually help this stuff. How could my parents not have seen the school reports, forgetfulness or these struggles and helped me instead of making me feel even worse? (Its not their fault ofc).

My healthcare plan gets sent to my GP this week. It’s been a lot of emotions since the diagnosis. What were your memories of being diagnosed and did it affect you?

Question: why are people favouring Geelong so heavily here?

Does their home stadium really disadvantage teams that much?
Does Sydney have a really poor record at GMHBA?
What else am I missing? Just for my tips, not gambling

My partner works with a single, straight male who is very close with her.

In addition to working all day together, they regularly call, and hang out almost every day including both weekend days.

If my partner has any spare time, she will find something to do with him (it feels like).

I personally would never be this close with a girl while in a relationship, as it would just feel wrong. It feels like in everything but label and actual intimacy, they act like a couple.

I have no reason to suspect she has cheated, and I have never seen anything intimate take place with them. There is another girl close to them who I feel would tell me if something had happened.

There has been a lot of tension where I’ve expressed feeling uncomfortable with the amount of time they spend together. She even wanted to drive and check on him because he was in an exam and hadn’t contacted her in 5 hours or so since starting it, and this caused an argument because I said that seems way over the top and unnecessary for people who are just mates to be doing.

Each time it causes tension, I am made to feel like i’m being insecure or unreasonable because they are just best friends. And i really try to process it and be fair, however i can’t get rid of the feeling in my gut.

Today I had expressed wanting to hang out and do something together, she said she needed to do some shopping. She eventually said she was seeing this man to do the shopping and some other things together- she left five hours ago. I called her to say I thought we were hanging out together today, she said we had been and she still would when she got home. It’s 6pm now and that has not happened, she is asleep by eight.

Last night we were at a close mate’s party, she left to hang with this bloke because he had gotten a qualification from an exam and eventually picked me up a couple of hours later. I would never control my partner’s time and though I have expressed my discomfort prior, I would never say “no you can’t hang out with him”.

I also think this man is holding out hope and wants more, but my gf insists she has set a clear expectation that she doesn’t feel the same and nothing will happen between them.

I’m seeking advice on how I should be feeling here- how close is too close for “platonic” friends when one is in a relationship? I am absolutely here to be told if i’m out of line if I am.
