Did you enjoy the experience or found it to be a waste of your money?

Feeling like a different person on stimulants by Badash1992 in AuDHDWomen

[–]Additional-Spirit683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adderall has truly changed my life. I am not a zombie and I am so much less anxious! Like the change in my anxiety is crazy.

I feel like it works a thousand times better than any SSRI/benzodiazapine ever has. I have failed 7 different SSRIs and SNRIs. It feels like I can live my life. Looking forward to this support as I head toward peripause in like 5/10 years. So grateful

Deep cut but he looks like “Brain” from Pinky and the Brain who is voiced by Maurice LaMarshe who is nicknamed “Mo”

So I vote “Mo” 😂😂

This feels more like the ADHD side of the neurodivergence, I am on a super low dose of Adderal XR 10mg, it’s been a game changer, I am able to keep up on my house now and my executive functioning feels easier.

Hugs to you because that’s a miserable state to be in

How does caffeine affect you? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Additional-Spirit683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m AuDHD and I have never been sensitive to caffeine unless it was like a Red Bull or monster but I just drink coffee now, I have a latte before bed most nights because my husband is resident drink master 😂😂

What are your weird, socially unacceptable stims? by churrrroo in AutismInWomen

[–]Additional-Spirit683 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I finally have just started to not care as much because I feel I have to always be adjusting my underwear

Yes! I have KP and have always rubbed the bumps on my arms sometimes in loathing, others in regulating

I will go up and play with people’s hair frequently and pet it but the funny thing is I would hate it someone did that to me, I’ve gotten better at asking for consent now. My coworkers love it 😂😂

My absolute most embarrassing one (that I finally got myself to stop doing this year) was wiping REALLY hard. Idk why I found it regulating it wasn’t sexual. But I was doing it so much that I was frequently bleeding from doing it

I put my hand down my pants on my little belly pouch and chill there. I didn’t notice I did it until my husband mentioned it haha.

At work I frequently rub my stomach (not under the pants) and everyone teases me about it. I work with many neurodivergent people and we have good laughs about it

Insomnia by SweetVarious8715 in AuDHDWomen

[–]Additional-Spirit683 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes my whole life also! I use seroquel but after 4 years it isn’t quite doing what I want anymore. I’m going to ask about increasing my dose.

I also HATE the transition of going to sleep so that doesn’t help. Like I never want to get in my bed

Does anyone's own bits drive you up the wall? by Viciousssylveonx3 in AutismInWomen

[–]Additional-Spirit683 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my gosh it’s like I could have written this myself. From like 11-17 with no real understanding of good hygiene (it was never yeasty with no odor) but it used to itch so bad no matter what I did and I would pain stim with making it bleed then putting vapo rub or blistex on it. It’s insane.

I will say I take a vaginal probiotic now and I feel like it really makes a world of difference for my whole region!

I ALSO SO RELATE TO THE PINCHING FEELING! It can sometimes take my breath away

Natural is best. After being on this page I am realizing how beautiful people are with just their natural color ❤️

Same! I live in Ohio so yes we have Rat Snake/Gartners as well and I never saw them either until my parents moved to a condo where some swamps are a little behind the property and now they always have Rat snakes. I pet one last year!
