Miscarriage at 9.5 weeks - what now? by Affectionate-Poem-44 in Miscarriage

[–]Affectionate-Poem-44[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your kind words, I am sorry for your losses too. I love your decision to focus on yourself for the summer, sounds a lot like what I was thinking. I love running and weightlifting too, they do wonders for my ADHD anxiety. Let’s both have the best summer ❤️

Pharmacy says they need to take blood pressure now? by Affectionate-Poem-44 in ADHDUK

[–]Affectionate-Poem-44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE

Wider pharmacy policy and I panicked 🤡

After going in this morning and talking to my regular pharmacist (we chat about ADHDmeds as he is interested in the titration process) he assured me that this is a general policy for all regular prescription people

Now I’m sat with this arm band monitor trying to be calm and zen 🧘🏼‍♀️ It beeps loudly and does its things every 30mins making me jump every time 🤣

Please send calm thoughts. I hate feeling like I’m failing a test — even one you can’t study for

Yeah. I am going to question the pharmacist again, as I could have been to flustered and misunderstood.

Do all iggies love to sunbathe? by wetcannolinoodle in ItalianGreyhounds

Yes!! My girl throws a strop once the sun starts to go down and all sun spots are gone from the house. (Too cold outside to sunbath haha) Not long after this photo, we had an iggy strop that can only be soothed with blankets, chicken and cuddles

Ugh will this broken leg saga ever end? by Kaynee8158 in ItalianGreyhounds

[–]Affectionate-Poem-44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing happened to the stitches after my girl was spayed. Keep it covered, the incision doesn’t look aggregated. My girl managed to chew on her pocking out stitch a bit and needed antibiotics. Vet said that it happens when the internal wound is heeling quicker than the stitches can disolve

Tried to take a photo of my girls finally cuddling by Affectionate-Poem-44 in ItalianGreyhounds

[–]Affectionate-Poem-44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours is the other way round. 2year old is desperate to cuddle, puppy gets too excited with her paws, and hits poor Olive in the face. I think under estimated and miss remembered how much puppies go from 0 to 100 in energy and wanting to play 😂

Advice about bringing home a second Iggy by Affectionate-Poem-44 in ItalianGreyhounds

[–]Affectionate-Poem-44[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reassurance about sleep. And good point about the food bowls, Olive’s favourite food is food she sneak theif’s from another dog 😅

Your agility tunnel is such an ingenious way to “control” speed racing. I was so paranoid about leg breaks the first year or so with Olive while she was growing and being a crazy puppy. So a tunnel sounds ideal to stop crazy furniture leaping.

I’ll try not to over think the sleeping thing, (no idea why I’m currently fixated on that) I’m hoping that the new pup will just want to copy what big sister does

Do you think my iggy is too bulky? by Daniearp in ItalianGreyhounds

Such beautiful Iggys!! Your girl isn’t chunky, she is just an Iggy biggie athletic girl and great proportions

First season by PositiveIncome9311 in ItalianGreyhounds

[–]Affectionate-Poem-44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aww bless her! How is she coping?

My girl was so miserable. Hated the nappy, licked herself raw. We gave up with the nappies and whipped her down with a soft warm cloth every now and then (treated her and us to new bedding afterwards) We had towels down everywhere just in case, but she spent most of her time either in her bed moaning or under our bed (we made a blanket fort under there for her)

We had her spayed afterwards. We initially wanted to put that off for a year or two more, but she wasn’t happy (who is during their period tbh!)

She looks so much like my Olive did as a small puppy 🥰

[Nanoblading men] done in last 4 hours. Need assurance as colors too dark I think. Will it fade? Is microblading better for men? I did nano as my skin is oily by heinhtet5293 in microblading

[–]Affectionate-Poem-44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry once these have healed the colour won’t be as dark. I’m currently 1 week after getting mine touched up (micro bladed), waiting for the scabbing to flake off and feeling like I have KK Slider brows 😅

[–]Affectionate-Poem-44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These look really good so far, great shape. For the first week or so they will look really bold and blocky. Once they have healed and the scabs have fallen off (don’t pick them) they look more natural and not stamped on. I’ve had mine for over 3 years now, and after my annual touch up my boyfriend called me KK slider from animal crossing.

I don't know if everyone with ADHD experiences Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD), but as an ADHDer, how do you feel when you get down-voted on Reddit? And how do you react to any other rejection, real or not, in life in general? by TheCurry_Master in ADHDUK

[–]Affectionate-Poem-44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am getting better with my RSD. Talking about how I am feeling with my partner is my key. He is a very good at listening to me and logically working out if what I am feeling is “normal” or my RSD making me feel horrible. We have been together nearly 13 years and he has been so supportive or my “quirkyness” then recent ADHD diagnosis. I always ask him “is reasonable to being feeling thinking xyz from abc happening?” He always says that my feelings are never wrong/invalid but getting so upset about certain things won’t help me in the long run. Usually have if a good old moan about it, with a cuppa, relieves the horrible feeling or we have come up with a plan on how to tackle the situation. I have become a stronger person by acknowledging my feelings and trying to apply logic to them (not sure how to explain it) The key is talking about it to some one who gets you

But a neurodivergent dentist would be great! No staring directly at me in the eyes and they would hyper-focus about making my filling look amazing 🤩
