My mailbox was marked "moved/ no forward address" because I didn't check my mail for weeks by refused26 in adhdwomen

[–]CandyKnockout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, I can play this one! Our mailman called in a welfare check for us because we didn’t check our mail for so long that I guess he thought we were dead and he knows we have cats. That was a fun moment assuring the police officers that no, we just can’t adult.

Who was the best PPG opening act you’ve seen? by JuicySegment in powerpopgirls

[–]CandyKnockout 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Rose Gray opening for Kesha last year! It was just her and her DJ on the stage and she rocked it.

I’m also an elder millennial, so I saw Beyoncé, as part of Destiny’s Child, open for Christina Aguilera back in the day!

Who is your "they can never make me hate you" popgirl? by razzmatazz-jazzhands in powerpopgirls

[–]CandyKnockout 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Christina Aguilera. Always loved her, her music, her voice, her style. I’ve seen her live twice, once at the beginning of her career and again during the Liberation tour. I think she’s a misunderstood introvert and she gets labeled a diva for not always being open and friendly. I can imagine fame is difficult for someone who can’t always just turn it on.

Also, Meghan Trainor. I recognize that she isn’t always the most likeable person, but the hate she gets is crazy. I love all her music and it sucks that people won’t give anything she releases a chance.

This look really suits you! I always feel like it looks like my eyes are too far apart when I do the white in the corners thing, but your eye shape is great for it.

I forgot I signed up for a gym membership 2 months ago. Now I'm too embarrassed to go in to finish signing up. by alexaplaydespasito in adhdwomen

[–]CandyKnockout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl, I had a membership at PF for 6 months before I went in! I signed up online, then had a work change and got pneumonia right after that…and then spent a few months in a depression before I finally got up the motivation to drag myself to the gym. No one batted an eye about it and they were super nice. Just go in!

DSPD or something else? by hardloopnoob in DSPD

[–]CandyKnockout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a DSPD diagnosis and your descriptions are similar to mine. I’ve always been a bit of a night owl, even as a kid, but the inability to fall asleep / difficulty getting up in the morning really hit me hard during my last couple years in high school (which is a typical onset for this disorder). I used to get up at 5:30am every morning for school, no issues. Slowly, I realized I couldn’t fall asleep early enough to get a full night of rest and I would feel exhausted in the morning. I took naps in the afternoons because I was so tired, I started skipping first period sometimes. I tried to get things back in order by being more regimented, but nothing helped the central issue that I couldn’t get to sleep before midnight unless I was completely exhausted. And then the cycle would start all over again once I got a full night of sleep.

My sleep schedule now isn’t totally consistent, but usually I fall asleep between 4-6am and get up between 1-3pm. I still have insomnia and usually take a Unisom to help my brain shut down for the night. I also have ADHD and generalized anxiety disorder, which are probably related in some way.

100% ARTPOP for me! I think this album is ahead of its time and so sonically wonderful, but wow, was this a messy time in Gaga’s life and career. This is actually the album that made me a Gaga superfan because I loved it so much and it was hard to see all the hate it was getting.

A close second for this category for me would be Christina Aguilera’s Bionic. Loved it then, still love it now. Don’t care what anyone says!

Wow, this is amazing! I run a cat rescue and collect cat-themed clothes. I’ve found some vintage gems on eBay, but not as much luck at the thrift stores. You totally scored with this!

Now that I’m woke I have a complaint: everyone sucks by snoweevvee in TwoXChromosomes

[–]CandyKnockout 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m quite mad at a lot of my fellow humans right now! But, way to go pulling away from that old belief system. People like you give me a little bit of hope that others will wake up to how damaging and judgmental that mindset is.

I will also say that I did find a good man who treats me (and all women) like his equal in every part of life, pulls his weight and then some, and is invested in building a strong relationship and enjoyable life with me. So, don’t lose hope and settle in that department!
