Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I need some advice. Tomorrow at 16:00 I need to pee into a cup at the doctor's office for a drug test and I am a very shy pee-er. Should I hold my morning pee from 8:00 to 16:00 to make sure I have enough of it or should I pee as soon as I wake up and drink water throughout the day and hope I have enough? Thank you all.

Do you forget to throw things away sometimes? by ppag in c/adhd@lemmy.world

I once threw away an empty plastic water bottle while on vacation. Just before I threw it away I thought to myself: "Maybe I should keep this, it might come in handy. I've been carrying it around all day and it has been supremely useful. Throwing it in the trash as if it was broken or not functional feels like a waste. Let me ask my wife about this." I asked her and she said I should throw it away. I did but first I kept it in my hand while we took a photo so I'd have something to remember it by.

I still think about this often.

Once I achieve I lose motivation (lemmy.ml)

So I've noticed a pattern in my life that I was hoping someone could empathize with.

I've been training for over a year for a physical test that I really want to pass. The other day I tried to do the exercises that I'll have to do in the test and I completed all of them successfully and now I feel that I've lost some of my motivation to get better. It's as if I was trying to prove that I could do it and I feel that I have, although I really haven't since I haven't taken the test. I've noticed this before. A couple years ago I tried really hard to get into a prestigious degree in a reputable university through my own merit. I managed to get in and soon after I lost interest and quit. Has anyone experienced something like this before?

Thank you for your time :)

Ps.: I'm not sure this is related to ADHD, I just figured it might be and the people here might be able to advise me.

Is this a scam? (lemmy.ml)

My wife and I both received message requests on Signal from the same "person". I assume this is some sort of scam but since it was the exact same name and profile image for me and my wife I wanted to see if anyone else has seen this so I can figure out how targeted this attack was. Thank you.
