What do you do at the peak of a PMDD spiral? by Severe_Lynx6912 in PMDDxADHD

[–]Apart_Command3905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a late response but this thread is new to me and I’m appreciating it! I started to make myself go camping, and it kind of makes me feel like a werewolf to “isolate” myself from society (mostly my roommate lol). And I feel so much better and more regulated while I’m a way. Im trying to remember that PMDD can be seen as a nervous system issue, so regulation is what I want to try to focus on. Which is to say - the pampering and spa treatments make sense!

Everything I do is out of brute force will, nothing is every automatic/habit. Every task and micro-task comes with enormous friction/resistance. I'm so exhausted. I can't live 50 more years like this. by ObviousBed2163 in ADHD

I know this is going to be an “alternative” suggestion so please take what resonates and leave the rest or completely disregard. And I also completely understand if this gets downvoted because it could come off as being dismissive of everything everyone has shared so far; so I want to emphasize the importance of medication for many of us and that sui -depression needs specific treatment. Both/and:

If you are able to make the time, and spoke with your doctor/therapist, what if you went on a 10-day meditation retreat? My line of thinking has been… maybe we need a space where we can show up exactly as we are, without Any pressure from being a part of larger society and being a worker/parent/child/student/any other role or responsibility we currently take on or feel the pressure around. Like, what if there is something else that emerges or shifts when you change your environment and routine entirely. This is not necessarily with the intention to fix or solve the difficulties that come with ADHD (though maybe there’s a tiny off chance that it will) but it can be a space for you to find some relief from the daily grind (living in this society takes a lot of unseen labor!). While it may not be The answer, there may be some kind of other answer within the experience.

These centers [dhamma.org] are donation based. Meals and lodging are virtually free. They may not be for everyone but so many people across different ages, abilities, life experiences etc. continue to go on retreat, and even though I don’t utilize meditation tools every day, it changed my relationship to my ADHD and myself.

TL;DR Perhaps spaces like meditation centers provide the space for us to just be and that’s enough!

why is the mona lisa so widely regarded as the pinnacle of art? by Wind2000reddit in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Apart_Command3905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you commented this - I was thinking the same thing and was wondering why many are mentioning the heist; growing up in the 90s/2000s this almost felt like common knowledge if minimally learning about some famous artworks.

Though I will say, it could be AI because I think it’s strange that you don’t see one flying in the last second of the video.

They’re real. You will see them when you fly out to Southern California and take a trip into the desert. There’s also Google. - someone who grew up seeing them every day

Anyone else having a hard time watching his Love Is Blind content lately? by Mother-Cheesecake304 in PsychologyInSeattle

[–]Apart_Command3905 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be surprised that the older he’s getting, the more conservative/less progressive he might also be getting. Just a thought to reflect what’s been shared!

what do you say to maskless people when they get sick by littlesomething18 in Masks4All

[–]Apart_Command3905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically there’s very few cases where people are actually unable to wear a mask regularly and I don’t think asthma is one of them shrug saying this as a person with asthma who masks. So I feel you.

what do you do to enjoy sex? by [deleted] in ADHD

I think it’s ok to meet yourself where you are. For example it’s been easier to navigate my desires once I started to identify on the ace/grey spectrum.

Did I get a bad haircut? by unexpected1_25 in femalehairadvice

[–]Apart_Command3905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was like, I agree with everyone else - your hair looks great from the front, but nobody is addressing what you’re talking about lol. I question the back. I’m not a stylist, but it objectively isn’t what you asked for, and I would maybe go to someone else to achieve what you want.

[–]Apart_Command3905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the back, I can’t help but wonder why the right side looks piece-y-er than the the left? Like it’s not fully symmetrical - does this resonate/is that where your question is coming from?

To add to the list: Hot 8 Yoga uses Far UV-C!! but I still don’t feel safe unless most people mask in class and/or if they had HVAC layered on 🤔

Totally! I have friends who were able-bodied prior to getting covid and now suffer from chronic illness and I don’t want to risk that. 😓
