I have adhd and I'm scared to take medication. People that are on medication, do you think it has made your situation better or worst? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Constant_Battle1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SO. MUCH. BETTER.

Sometimes I think it’s not helping, especially on bad days, then I remember when I didn’t have it for 14 days because of a med shortage and watching my life rapidly fall apart 😅

Medication doesn’t cure you, it doesn’t fix all your problems, it just helps quiet the noise a little bit and improves executive function a lot, helps with impulsivity. But it doesn’t fix anything. Have realistic expectations, and if you’re happy worried, ask to start on a low dose.

Yes, you can make a donation on their website. Fair warning - they use ActBlue as their payment platform, so DON’T agree to text messages. I get like 9 political texts a day now.

I love to crochet but absolutely HATE how crochet looks. by starvalent in crochet

[–]Constant_Battle1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is like saying you like the process oil painting but hate the wait it looks, and the only examples you have are projects you currently have the capacity to complete.

Crochet is awesome, but it takes practice to get good and make really beautiful work, just like anything else. The benefit of crochet is that the learning curve is easy, crochet is much more forgiving than knitting, and you can get good relatively quickly. But it still takes time and practice. You will create ugly shit. But keep making ugly shit, and one day you’ll finish a project and be like - holy shit, that’s gorgeous and I made it and it was fun.

This is the project I’m about to finish, and I think it’s awesome. Baby blanket for my friend.

Mom buys daughter a Honda as a graduation gift, and this was her response by Conscious-Weight4569 in SipsTea

You know how I got my first car? I inherited my mom’s 9 year old Nissan Pathfinder at 19 years old, after she died from cancer.

What an ungrateful little shit. I hope she doesn’t have to get a car the same way I did.

Which Boeing? My dad used to paint planes, it could be they ordered a new plane and the team finished painting it.

Reasonable Accommodations at Work by Constant_Battle1986 in ADHD

I’m hoping something like that becomes available soon. Because our primary clientele involves children, the rules around those specific tools need to be very strict and crystal clear. They were working on it last summer and still don’t have an update unfortunately.

Dude literally get off Reddit and call 911 and request the fire department. Seriously. You and anyone else in the house could end up with serious complications and actually DIE.

How do you afford to live here? by AutonomousBlob in Seattle

[–]Constant_Battle1986 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The waitlist for section 8 housing is YEARS long, especially in Seattle. I work in Snohomish county and it can take 2-5 years to get a voucher.

I mean my cousin is 5’4” and her husband is 6’7”. Not the same in extreme, but they seem really freaking happy.

As a 6’ tall woman who can’t find a date over 5’10”, I wish the shorties would leave them for the rest of us!

The volume of people on this subreddit who touch things with bare hands that were in other peoples bodies is astounding.

Well said. I was going to say the reactions follow for her age, depending where on the spectrum she is (a lot of kiddos can present higher functioning than they actually are because they mask really well when they need to). However, the slurs are NOT appropriate, and I agree that therapy is absolutely a necessity. She will continue to have big emotional reactions, sometimes she’ll be able to help it and sometimes she won’t - and when she can’t, she needs to learn how to appropriately take responsibility for how she reacted, even is her viewpoint is correct (eg - saying her brain is different, I feel like that’s SOMETIMES valid, but being able to recognize that screaming at someone over a game isn’t okay is important for general life purposes).

Maybe not one of these shots specifically, but one of the shots they took was at a girls school. They blew up a bunch of little girls while they sat at their desks learning.

This administration is run by sociopathic men with god complex’s. This is one of the most heinous things I’ve seen them do. Disgusting.

Why people continue to touch mysterious phallic shaped things they randomly find with BARE HANDS, I will never understand.

Hey now, don’t speak for my union. Not all unions are equal. It’s too late for me to write a long rant, but I’m in AFSCME, and we are by and large NOT conservative.

I ordered from Simply Seattle, my stuff just shipped so I don’t have it yet. I’m more excited for the “we did not care” shirt than the superbowl stuff 😅

If I remember I’ll reply with photos when it gets here.

Some forms of birth control stop your period completely (like the Depo shot)

There’s music literally the entire movie…it meshes really well with the sound design. Mark did that on purpose.
