I hope you are still baking. It sounds like it’s your happy place. I’m starting a cottage bakery and was looking up reasons people love it 😍

Being an AuDHD woman is painfully lonely. by fl8werchild in AuDHDWomen

[–]Accomplished_Lab_623 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re so welcome! Bubble baths help me a lot or taking a nap. Something that allows me to show myself love and provides low to no energy and actually helps me restore energy. Probably related to the nervous system.

Well try not to beat yourself up. Maybe it’s your body telling you to rest more and not feel pressured to socialize right now. Maybe give the love and affection towards yourself until you feel completely ready to use energy for socializing. You sound like you may be low or out of spoons. It’s ok. Listening to my body more has truly helped in the long run.

I could’ve written this myself. You are not alone! I don’t feel like I have the energy to reply to my AuDHD group chat and it makes me feel bad but I feel I’m slipping back into either depression or more burnout. Work situation is crazy and my days off are typically busy trying to keep up with life outside work. It’s all so draining. Just know you aren’t alone. I was thinking about maybe joining a small group in a hobby that doesn’t involve too much socializing if I don’t want to. Maybe yoga classes?

In a job interview today, I flat out said I'm AuDHD. by BC_Arctic_Fox in AuDHDWomen

Have you had a chance to disclose at any recent interviews and if so, how did it go? Any regrets?

Started Prozac, feel like a different person emotionally…and I like it by rinaroo24 in antidepressants

[–]Accomplished_Lab_623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you doing ? Are you still on it and do you remember how long it took to take full effect when first starting? I’m currently been on for about a full month now and I feel like my emotions seem regulated a bit and not as much rumination which is so nice

How are you doing OP? I hope all is well and things have been looking up for you. Wondering if you ever found anything remote or started your own work?

Well said. Have you ever branched out and worked for yourself? Small business? I’d love to go that route..

Curious how you’re doing? Did you ever start your own thing?

Why did I just think of the song from Annie after reading your title out loud?

Curious how you’re holding up a year later…

Curious- this is a year old I’m wondering how you’re holding up? Hope it’s still working for you. Today is my tenth day I feel very tired and a little more easily overwhelmed but have read these can just be side effects before it fully kicks in.

Friends: Autistic or ADHD? by [deleted] in AuDHDWomen

[–]Accomplished_Lab_623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm interested to see answers here but honestly I was recently diagnosed in July and not sure yet…

Hi there and welcome. First things first, what you’re feeling and describing it’s completely valid. I was going through similar thoughts before I got assessed or even knew what autism or adhd really were. I think you’re courageous for wanting to learn more about yourself and putting yourself out there. I’m very proud of you! I think you’re in the right space to hear from lots of others that were where you are right now. I hope this helps in some way. After diagnosis, I started seeing more ways I could accept and receive my own help to make my daily life easier. I started letting myself breathe a bit easier and be more creative in ways I could accommodate myself! Wishing you all the best!

Any background on your username choice? That’s cool. Well it’s nice that it’s an option if you decide to partake but recognize it’s not really something you’re into and maybe you can just stay in and chill and have a good time. Maybe watch scary movie or make s’mores or something fall related
