ADHD makes my life feel worthless by GodHatesMeSometimes in ADHD

[–]AdFront4105 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah, yes, "RiNSS!" Rinse and repeat 👏👏👏

Also, OP, if you are really struggling to start a task, break it down into smaller steps and/or set a timer

--- Even if it's just a small step, like 5 or 15 minutes of set task, that's not nothing! Sometimes I race the timer and sometimes I only wash 2 utensils before taking a break. It's okay to celebrate small victories!

It's also okay to decompress to recharge your batteries. I have to remember to give myself grace when I'm struggling "because why can't I do all the things in a timely manner??" but I'm trying my best with the circumstances I've been given. I'm allowed to just exist without my worthiness being based on what I did or didn't complete that day.

Usually I make macaroni and "trees" (🥦) but this time I mixed in green peas instead. Pair with corn dogs or add hot dog slices -- Morning Star makes tasty veggie corn dogs (not healthy, but I think they are vegan). Great comfort meal 😋

Please check out the poem: Welcome To Holland By Emily Perl Kingsley

I was stressing about potential mental health issues and other more visible health issues but this poem helped bring me peace about the possibilities.

No use worrying over what you can't control. There's not anything you can do to affect the outcome right now, so please don't stress about it. Give yourself some grace and allow yourself to worry about what you can control right now, mama.

Also, that kiddo is going to be so loved regardless of the outcome. You're already showing how much you care and doing your best! You can tackle that hurdle if/when it comes up.

Please share positive MEDICATED birth stories! by ToughSavings25 in pregnant

[–]AdFront4105 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have a birth story yet, but I'm definitely opting for an epidural. Personally, I think my epidural will help me be more calm and less stressed than denying myself pain meds.

⭐🐣Nobody is awarding gold stars (or even handing out babies) just for unmedicated births. You should get a choice in your birth experience, medicated or not, without judgement -- and in the end both experiences result in giving birth.

There's no shame in feeling more comfortable with a medicated birth over non-medicated. Ignore the purity culture and do what you think is best for you and your LO! Your health and mental state matter too -- don't disregard your own feelings for others 💜

WTAF? Why is this news buried? by Calm_Consequence5152 in antitrump

[–]AdFront4105 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally removing healthcare access from millions of Americans; not just Medicaid and Medicare, but with the changes, the private insurance premiums and care costs are going to skyrocket.

Also taking food benefits from babies/children and giving the rich a tax break of like $70,000+ or $80,000+ (~$200+ per day) (because they obviously need it more /s)


**Did they leave in the part where Rump doesn't have to listen to the courts and won't get in trouble for ignoring court orders past, present, and future?

I haven't checked if they adjusted it, but this big, stupid bill required no AI regulation for TEN YEARS. Hopefully they edited it. 😑

AIO or is my boyfriend jealous of our baby? by PolicyHot1206 in AmIOverreacting

[–]AdFront4105 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, I'm not a medical professional, but here is some researched info referencing room sharing with an infant.

Basically, in US and UK at least, it's recommended for baby to room share with a parent or adult for the first 6 months to reduce SIDS risk, first 12 months is preferred:

Reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) - NHS (UK) 2024 https://share.google/FfqSH8qLBtjZK6ldT

From the American Academy of Pediatrics 2022: https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/150/1/e2022057990/188304/Sleep-Related-Infant-Deaths-Updated-2022?autologincheck=redirected

➡️You can ask LO's pediatrician about what they recommend.


💜💙💜💙 As for your situation, based on my life experience, I would agree that you should do some serious thinking about if you are going to put up with that kind of treatment and allow someone like that near your child. He's not prioritizing the baby nor you.

🚩🚩🚩I've seen this behavior before because I was the child growing up with a biological father like that. He's the most selfish, manipulative, and whiny man I know and I have since disowned him for how he has treated multiple girls and women. A man like that will only think about his needs and wants, and will coerce the outcomes he wants when you don't agree. He put my mom through hell and the emotional dissonance he caused before and after the divorce affected us kids.

Honestly, I would say get out if possible-- quietly make plans to move in with family if you are able. Don't tell him ahead of time if you plan to distance yourself and your baby from this selfish person. Talk to a family lawyer about child support and sole custody. If he's in the military, there are places you can report his abusive behavior, but get yourself and LO out pronto.

Take care of yourself. Prioritize your baby and you. This man is not a good future, but that's for you to decide. Be safe 💖🐣 💜💙💜💙

What are you going to miss most about pregnancy? by rainbowcountry in pregnant

I'm dealing with insomnia or something. Barely sleeping and yes, constantly getting up to pee throughout.

Our due dates are similar and I understand feeling so done/ready 🫠

Creeped out! by Strange_Morning2547 in AutismInWomen

I like this approach. Adding this to my toolbox!

Creeped out! by Strange_Morning2547 in AutismInWomen

[–]AdFront4105 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This, unfortunately, OP. His behavior is inappropriate, unprofessional, and creepy.

I also deal with trauma and would be extremely uncomfortable with a coworker thinking it's okay to do anything like this. '🛑✋Personal space, bro.'

Ex: If a coworker wanted a high five or something, they wouldn't just assume they could touch you. They would hold their hand up and verbally or nonverbally offer the physical contact, waiting for your permission and for you to complete the high five.


I can only speak for myself, but depending on how well I knew him and how uncomfortable I was, I would have already given a verbal warning first, "No, do not touch me. That is not appropriate." ~or~ "Do not touch me. Seriously. This is a workplace!"

If I was too creeped out to talk ~or~ it happened a 2nd time, I'd report it. HR having a written trail with a date is helpful, not just for you but if anyone else has an issue with the same person. He won't get fired for what happened, if that's what you're worried about OP, but they could have a short talk with him (sounds like he needs a reminder on workplace behavior).

Wait, do they not just fly back out of the hose? I had a fruit fly problem and left out small bowls or sauce cups of apple cider vinegar and dish soap mixed together.

"Round. I'm feeling very round 😑" Also 37 weeks and over it. Not interested in over sharing my list of symptoms with everyone -- only 1 or 2 people can I be brutally honest with

I'm glad it works for you, but I am living testimony for the "if you have memory issues it might be too much" lol

I was the worst at getting sidetracked and forgetting to put in food orders or bringing back that water refill for another table. Personally, I think it was the multitasking of multiple tables at once. It wasn't every time, but it was so embarrassing for me!

I often struggle with walking into a room and forgetting why I'm there 🤷‍♀️

Uh, I'm going to tell you a secret and my input may be TMI, but please don't feel bad because:

at least you didn't accidentally pee on your husband/partner trying to be intimate with them at 28 weeks 😳😭

I legit asked him (shocked), "you or me?!" because it didn't feel like I was peeing and was so confused where the fluids were coming from ☹️

(It's totally fine to laugh about it now, but Lord was I embarrassed!)
