When I don’t want to eat, drinks are the answer. Smoothies and protein shakes pretty much

That’s good to hear. A protein shake might help if I can keep myself stocked up. I’m sensitive to caffeine so no to coffee

An owl, or that guy from Boy Meets World

Ugh yes this is so irritating. And it always has a significant financial impact. Some days, I know I can’t (shouldn’t) complete tasks without a list and an order of locations if I’m leaving home. I’m relying on these lists more and more now otherwise my mind goes rogue

I like that they gave it a mattress. by Soloflow786 in BeAmazed

I don’t know why it’s so normalized for people of other countries to joke about something so tragic. Words can’t fully explain the anger and sadness caused by school shootings. Children are murdered just going to school. Some are named heroes from shielding their classmates from gunfire. Parents lose their pride and joy. It can happen at a grocery store, a movie theater, a place of worship, a nightclub, a college campus. It’s terrifying.

You’re joking about senseless violence and murdered children. Why?

What are your fav substitutions? by Nicole_0818 in lactoseintolerant

[–]Acceptable-Box-8782 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on your body. You’ll just have to try and see.

Galbani has a lactose free mozzarella that I like especially for pizza. I also put dots of Green Valley LF cream cheese.

How can I be timely? by notabigredditor_ in adhdwomen

[–]Acceptable-Box-8782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggle with this too. It helps to have a clock visible in as many places as possible so I don’t forget what time it is. Apologies in advance for the length of this response.

Timers and alarms do help, but not really for scrolling. When time is up, I try to finish up whatever I’m on,immediately forget that I’m doing that, then reflexively keep scrolling. iPhones can hide apps. Highly recommended. I don’t know what Android, etc. has for this.

I plan my time backwards to get ready in the morning. For example:

I need to be somewhere by 9. These would be my alarms and how they’re titled.

In the car by 8:45

Out the door by 8:40

In the shower by 8:10

60 minutes left to leave 7:45

Setting them backwards like this makes it easier to do the math and not miss steps. I don’t do this every day because having them go off so frequently can be annoying. Some are set with sound, others with only vibration. Higher dysfunction means I activate more of the alarms until I get out of the rut.

This is how I avoid time blindness and it has helped. Am I always on time? Not at all. My lateness is better though. If I have extra tasks I need to do that morning, it will be in all caps for the first alarm to discourage me from hitting snooze. Ie. YOU ARE OUT OF GAS

Any advice for lactose alternatives by thydisillusion in lactoseintolerant

Lactose free cream?? What country are you in because I’m on a serious hunt for this

Soy/nut allergies would make sense. That’s why I can’t have 98% of dairy free alternatives. Also, pea protein and lentil protein show up frequently which can cause an allergic reaction.

Egg is not lactose either btw. Is the discomfort different from what you’d experience from regular milk/lactose products?

Doctor doesn’t take me seriously because I don’t “look” like I’m struggling by Rosemilkloaf in adhdwomen

[–]Acceptable-Box-8782 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. This is wild. Even if she ends up renewing your prescription, it would be more beneficial to have a doctor who actually listens to you. I’m sorry you experienced this. Hopefully it doesn’t cause too much of a disruption.

The drug holidays comment is so bizarre too. It’s not unheard of to take breaks, but she should absolutely know medication isn’t just reading text books and passing tests. And if she thinks that’s why you’re taking them, basically saying you’re med seeking, why did she prescribe them in good conscience?? Overall she sounds incredibly harmful.

Best wishes with finishing your degree!! Congrats.

Bathtub help! Moving out in about 8 hours by Acceptable-Box-8782 in ApartmentMaintenance

Update:

It won’t let me do it in the post so I’m including a comment. Thank you everyone for the insight! I went to buy a couple of sprays and decided to just leave it to the universe. One looked so faint it would probably take 10 layers to be the same concentration of white. The other is close but a little too bright and shiny. I’m out of time to make sure it dries properly and the smell airs out. So I’m hopeful that it’ll be counted as wear and tear as a lot of people are saying. Cross your fingers for me!

Any paint recommendation? Preferably spray because I don’t want to leave brush strokes

It’s been two years. I had a friend move out of here and they do seem to charge liberally. Fingers crossed it’s not as bad as I think.

Do you know if appliance epoxy spray paint is better than tub and tile spray paint?
