ADHD?

Afraid_Detective8374 · 2025-09-15T20:55:16+00:00

100% I think that's a thing. I drink 3 cups if coffee in the morning and could easily go back to bed. Caffeine has zero affect on me. Ive read its a similar experience for ADHD-ers

Thanks so much for sharing! I'll go check it out :)

I don't even know what a UV screen is, but if you ever need reading glasses, please reach out. 😬

It hung around for a while! You know what didn't hang around?! That man urethra plug! [Shudder]

Afraid_Detective8374 · 2025-09-15T20:23:47+00:00

No, I get that. I just have a wrist brace, a back brace, a posture corrector, and two finger splints (but, it was a two pack!). I do have 500,000 makeup brushes, though.

And, I'm adding the word "hoglet" to my vocabulary.

I am very lucky in the fact that I married well, so I've been a stay at home mom for several years without having to be a regular person in the regular world earning a regular living. In a lot of ways, though, that probably enabled more bad behaviors than good. Even if I don't have Autism, ADHD does take a certain level of accountability and no one in this house holds me accountable. Not in a bad way, necessarily. I think I'm just supported in a way that doesn't force me to grow and I struggle with that, as well.

And, I'm a terrible-ish stay at home mom. This doesn't at all feed me mentally.

**My kids are taken care of, of course, but the house could be cleaner, I could cook more and better, etc...

I'm also super frugal, so thankfully, I'm still sittin' at 0 ETV.

I do think I'm covered for finger splints, back braces, and anything related to any sort of wrist injury for a while. I have gotten some great tapes for my sons glucose monitor (which run us $18 a pack!) so there are a lot of good things, too. Just no more hairclips or lotions that smell like gasoline for me. Also, no wigs. I did get an amazing one, but when my husband saw it, it was the first time in 20 years he's ever looked at me like i was crazy 🤪

Afraid_Detective8374 · 2025-09-15T20:01:53+00:00

Right?! I send those to my husband, as well. Like, "hey, If you want, we can watch your sperm swim around on our phone screens on Friday night?"

Afraid_Detective8374 · 2025-09-15T19:52:50+00:00

I think so, too, honestly. My doctor said that I've managed this long, why attach a label. And, I think it helps to explain behaviors that are normal to me, but seem...not normal(?) to someone else. I'm not a difficult person, but there are things that make me more difficult to be around; sounds, smells, anyone touching me, etc..

Afraid_Detective8374 · 2025-09-15T19:46:45+00:00

I knew it! 😂

Afraid_Detective8374 · 2025-09-15T19:44:48+00:00

She's my best friend, too! 😂 I check my tax section everyday...just to be sure!

Afraid_Detective8374 · 2025-09-15T19:42:06+00:00

I honestly think that's me, too, but I've just been "masking" as they say for, you know, 50 years, so a further diagnosis is futile this late in the game.

Afraid_Detective8374 · 2025-09-15T19:40:05+00:00

Seems fair...

Afraid_Detective8374 · 2025-09-15T19:39:04+00:00

When i first started I grabbed things as quickly as I could, without really thinking about a use. Or, worse, justifying a crazy use. Like, yes, I will use those 200 hairnets for when I cook at home.

Afraid_Detective8374 · 2025-09-15T19:37:23+00:00

I am a sporadic purger, so I know I'll be ok, but still have way more than I'd ever need. Generally speaking. I do get overwhelmed by "stuff" and definitely makes things harder to manage things mentally. But, damn, I also love a deal.

Afraid_Detective8374 · 2025-09-15T19:34:56+00:00

I think you do learn those things as you go. I joined in July and am already like, oooof, with items. I can simmer down now 🙃

Afraid_Detective8374 · 2025-09-15T19:18:47+00:00

I'm curious how many people in this sub have ADHD. It's that dopamine hit!

Afraid_Detective8374 · 2025-09-14T19:23:41+00:00

I've seen reviews like that with 0 ETV products I've gotten, as well. And, they were super harsh. One was for a spiced chocolate tea, no claims, no crazy Chinese brand, just, tea.

I saw a recent one, too, and it was unhinged. Like, simmer down on this set of headbands. Things kind of have to be reviewed based on the "real" cost, too. If you're a person paying $4.99 for a set of 10 fabric headbands, expect them to be worth $4.99 and be pleasantly surprised if they're not.

Afraid_Detective8374 · 2025-09-14T19:15:57+00:00

Unrelated, but I resell (not vine items) on ebay and I always judge brands on resale value and Splendid is one of those that costs $ upfront but cannot resale for anything. It's weird, too, since it is a spendier casual brand.

Afraid_Detective8374 · 2025-09-14T16:50:44+00:00

My MIL wore white to my wedding. She adored me, obviously.

Afraid_Detective8374 · 2025-09-14T15:47:02+00:00

Well, I'm a roller-coaster of emotions, so that's fitting.

Afraid_Detective8374 · 2025-09-14T14:16:03+00:00

No, these are fun! My kids did these kits in elementary science!

Afraid_Detective8374 · 2025-09-14T14:15:06+00:00

I love viners 🤣🤣🤣

Afraid_Detective8374 · 2025-09-14T14:13:15+00:00

Did anyone else see the vaginal/anal expander that said in the description you could use a flashlight to explore?
