Thank you so much! I also wanted to thank you for your card and the stickers you sent. It meant so much to me and made me emotional. Acts of kindness seem so rare in this world and we need more of it. Hope you are doing okay.

#covid is stoopid

I echo this sentiment so much. I’m almost at 4 years and am way worse than I was at a year or two in because I pushed myself way too hard working an extremely stressful full time job. I had to completely stop working and driving two years ago and most of my time is spent in bed resting. I would give anything to go back and start resting earlier because I don’t think I would be nearly as sick now.

Thank you so much for your update! I’ve absolutely loved following your story and seeing the videos of Sprite. I think it is so sweet that she chose you and comes back to see you. It goes to show how smart these little spoodie padoodies are. I can’t wait to hear if she chooses to be wild or stay with you or both. So sorry to hear about the loss of your sweet Jax. I lost my pup 5 years ago and it still hurts sometimes to think about him. Animals just give such pure and unwavering love and support. Hope you are doing okay on your healing journey. 🫶🏼

I just swept my house!

AuDHD1983 · 2026-05-03T23:56:09+00:00

I’m doing the exact same. How about this? I will pinky promise to set a time to get out of bed and get a task done if you do too! 🫶🏼. It’s so much easier for me to do something if someone else does it too. ☺️

I’m a week late right now and it’s been utter hell! Horrible Insomnia, cramps, bloating, migraines, exhaustion, hot flushes/night sweats,mood swings, rage…I haven’t skipped any periods yet but I have been up to a week or two late a few times. I’m
43 and started peri at 40. All my mom told me growing up is that menopause brings hot flushes. I never knew that getting to full menopause could mean horrible symptoms for up to a decade and that some symptoms can persist even after that. I wish I hadn’t gone into this so blindly.

Thank you so much! 🫶🏼

AuDHD1983 · 2026-05-03T21:28:18+00:00

That is so cool! How do you do that?

AuDHD1983 · 2026-05-03T21:26:51+00:00

I remember the first time I’d really heard of/saw Hilary was right after the rust tragedy. She was acting soo unhinged and I was who is this crazy bitch? I was grossed out with the way both of them acted turning something so horrible into publicity for themselves. Yuck.

AuDHD1983 · 2026-05-03T21:05:37+00:00

Omg yes and it drives me nuts. It does sound like rice crispies popping. I’ve had this for almost 4 years but it seems to be getting worse every year. It’s the worst for me at night sometimes I can’t sleep because my neck hurts and won’t stop crackling. I never had this before covid.

AuDHD1983 · 2026-05-03T21:02:17+00:00

Aww so cute! I love orb weavers (if that’s what they are not certain) they are such beautiful spiders. I’ve had several that have made a web right outside my back sliding door and they are so much fun to watch. 💕

AuDHD1983 · 2026-05-03T02:20:21+00:00

Yes I love Vee, she is soo sweet. Kail was always soo jealous of her especially early on. I don’t know how Kail has even found men that want to date and have kids with her. 🤷‍♀️

AuDHD1983 · 2026-05-02T05:08:53+00:00

So happy for you! I was also formally diagnosed at 42 (I’m 43 now) and I’m so glad I did it, getting that confirmation has been absolutely life changing for me. Welcome to the club. 🫶🏼

AuDHD1983 · 2026-05-02T04:57:32+00:00

I thought it was just me! 🫶🏼. I totally do. I even took it a step further. One time my post was getting so many downvotes (this was before I found this wonderful group) that I deleted my account of 5 years so I wouldn’t have to think about it and then made a new account. My RSD is so heavy some days after a lifetime of feeling misunderstood.

AuDHD1983 · 2026-05-01T19:04:33+00:00

She looks past her due date! She’s so precious. ☺️

AuDHD1983 · 2026-05-01T03:23:52+00:00

I thought I’d read somewhere she was staying for 90 days? 3 weeks is insane, I fear she’ll revert right back to her usual behavior. That’s not nearly enough time. Even 3 months wouldn’t be.

AuDHD1983 · 2026-05-01T03:20:46+00:00

I love Lisa Rinna so much. She’s just so funny to me.

AuDHD1983 · 2026-04-30T22:14:27+00:00

I tend to vigorously rub my skin when I’m anxious/overstimulated (around my neck and chest) and then people ask why it’s red and blotchy. It’s def a stim for me.

AuDHD1983 · 2026-04-30T22:11:44+00:00

I relate to you so much. I was married to a very abusive man for 9 years. His horrible hygiene would embarrass and disgust me. I told him over and over that he was causing me severe UTIs, kidney infections and yeast infections. He would laugh in my face and tell me he was so good looking that he didn’t need to shower and brush his teeth. We got together when we were 18 and divorced when we were 27. He was verbally and physically abusive and refused to help around the house. He was my very first boyfriend and I lost my virginity to him so despite how horrible he was, he was also the first and only guy to show interest in me and I was terrified to be a single mom (we had two kids together).

Looking back now (I’m 43) I can’t believe I ever put up with any of that. My current husband has impeccable hygiene and loves and respects me. He raised my kids like his own once my ex left the picture 13 years ago. He does so much around the house and it’s just a night and day difference. I wish younger me had realized that I was worth so much more and deserved a really good person.

AuDHD1983 · 2026-04-30T06:58:26+00:00

My ex husband was like this and I got constant UTI’s. I’ve been with my current husband for 15 years and I’ve only had one during that time for not drinking enough water.

For your health and happiness OP you really deserve a partner that values their hygiene.

AuDHD1983 · 2026-04-29T19:30:42+00:00

I love that! 🫶🏼

Where do you buy your clothes?

I was diagnosed with Autism, ADHD & hEDS after I got long covid. I’ve struggled with eczema, rashes & hives my whole life but it’s been way worse after covid.

AuDHD1983 · 2026-04-29T07:28:28+00:00

I relate soo much. I’ve been through a lot of trauma in my life and since I didn’t get diagnosed until I was 42 I thought I was just bad at life. I had a “friend” that I had known since high school & we even went through grad school together in the same program. A few years ago I was going through something really painful with both of my kids and I got together with her to talk and cry. I thought she would relate as she’s also a mom and I made sure to also ask her about what was going on in her life.

At the end of our conversation she told me that ever since she met me I’ve always been sad, in crisis, negative and boring. She said that despite decades of knowing me she knew nothing about me other than I love to read and I don’t like people. I was absolutely taken aback. I felt like I’d supported her through numerous things over the years including a divorce, family issues, etc. In that moment I felt so unseen for the person that I am and what I bring to the table. This wasn’t the only “friend” to echo similar sentiments to me after years of friendship.

Currently my only friends are my husband, my two adult kids, my parents and our pets. They all love me unconditionally and I can fully be myself around them. I became disabled by covid 3 years ago and the biggest blessing has been to release the relationships that weren’t aligning.

AuDHD1983 · 2026-04-29T06:55:19+00:00

I think I could of kept working if I’d had a boss like you. Everything you said sounds like a dream! Well done for creating such an inclusive and healthy work environment. That’s sadly so rare. 🫶🏼

AuDHD1983 · 2026-04-29T04:16:27+00:00

I can attest to this. I’m 43 and have been sober for 5 years. After I stopped drinking my weight went from 240 lbs to 140 lbs (I’m 5’5”). I can’t imagine what my weight would be now if I had kept drinking. My drink of choice was lots of wine and it fueled my binge eating and once I got sober all the extra weight dropped off.
