Did you know that if you still sometimes think about old romantic partners, it means you have AD/HD?

Good, because it doesn't. AD/HD experts at the State University of New York Albany. reviewed 98 TikTok videos and found half of the claims were misleading or flat-out wrong. Only three percent of the TikTok'ers said they had mental-health credentials, but half of them asked people to buy their products, services or to donate.

Any time you read an amazing claim, ask yourself, "How would this person know? If they're talking about their lived experience, what makes them so sure it applies to anyone else?"

Gaslighting is when someone purposefully manipulates you to make you doubt yourself. It's meant to make you insecure and dependent, so it's usually a long, drawn-out process. Do abusers gaslight their partners by accusing them of gaslighting? Or by responding to accusations of gaslighting with, "Oh, everything's gaslighting these days." You can bet they do.

The catch is, it's not gaslighting every time someone lies. Two people can remember things differently without either trying to gaslight each other. Watch out for memes like this one, that oversimplify toxic behaviors. They can turn your frustration with your partner into suspicion and fear.

Watching the Paul Reubens documentary, "Pee-Wee as Himself" on Max. Along with an amazing success story, there's a sadder, personal one. People who worked with Reubens describe how hard it was for him to trust others. How much of himself he felt he had to hide. How many years where there was no Paul, only Pee-Wee Herman. It's good to remember it's always okay to ask for...
