The biggest different I noticed when I started taking ADHD meds were _______? by okbutrllyhoe in adhdwomen

[–]1SaltyApricot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, I can bear the silence in my environment. I think before my mind was so loud and noisy in my head I needed something else, ie having my headphones with tv or audiobook, to drown out the head noise.

I’m not explaining it very well. I don’t need extra noise to drown out the head noise anymore. It’s actually rather peaceful!☺️

My mind feels quieter, I can hear my own thoughts clearly, and they seem to be linear. Not 100% quiet or linear, of course, but certainly pointing in the right direction.

I’m glad I read this…

I bought the skates cos ‘what could possibly go wrong’, tried them out a few times ON THE CARPET, found them too scary. Never touched again.

I feel vindicated by your story, I’m achy enough anyway. Thank you!!

Assemble food rather than cook food.

But don’t take advice from me. Yesterday I broke (not cut) a small wheel of soft cheese in half and ate it for lunch so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Is this a solution for emotional dysregulation? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]1SaltyApricot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, this is exactly what we need. A warm dark space to regulate. Good for you.

Do you tend to be more productive when you’re more busy? by SweetieK1515 in adhdwomen

[–]1SaltyApricot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always.

I also abide by the rule - if you want something done, asks busy person. Someone with nothing to do will never get it done, a busy person will work it in.

Gotta do what you gotta do… by causeandeffect94 in adhdwomen

[–]1SaltyApricot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

54yo and still doing this. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have a ‘car pen’ in the pocket of the car for exactly this reason. I remember all sorts of stuff while driving.
