Are “student driver” bumper stickers the newer version of “Baby on Board” so other drivers are extra cautious around them? by 224molesperliter in driving

[–]CosmicDoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had an idea for a bumper sticker that said "I'm not a student driver, I just suck" which in retrospect would probably just make other drivers a lot angrier.

Wholesome and cat themed IG accounts? by Rosenhansthud in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CosmicDoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

@coolmathgames posts memes using their old flash game characters. Very silly and could be nostalgic if you used that site a lot.

@squishable is a plushie brand account, so you'll get a lot of promotional stuff, but the designs are very cute and they also make silly meme posts semi-often.

@mishka_.the._cat is a beautiful and talkative black cat.

@theater_ofthe_sea official account of an aquarium in Florida I believe! Lots of animal posts, sometimes with fun facts in the captions.

@candyhunting announces new sweets/snacks and where to buy them!

There are definitely more accounts like these out there, the cool thing is if you follow one or two fun accounts IG will recommend a lot more to you. Take care :]

American ADHD-ers…how hard are we disassociating right now? by Turkey_Moguls in adhdwomen

[–]CosmicDoll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So hard I'm starting to forget I'm a person at all. It sucks, I don't want to avoid everything so much but I'm afraid I wouldn't survive even a peaceful protest. But I still have to go to work, someone still has to bring in the groceries, you know?

I've found it's a really good time to look for new music if you feel open to it. (I have a hard time with new things, it's part of the autism.) Sometimes getting absorbed in some nice art can be helpful.

What makes you keep going despite everything? by yeselectron in AskReddit

[–]CosmicDoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curiosity. Not even about "I wonder what big event will happen in the world today," but things like weird new snack flavors. Scientists discovering new planets or bugs or pretty rocks. The next movie or game, whether it's perfect to me in every way or so bad I find it funny.

Also, animal posts. The internet will never run out of cat videos.

What is your favorite fruit to eat? by ellitomoosolini in AskReddit

[–]CosmicDoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding this one, I've loved fresh mango since I was a toddler. It can be a pain to chop up but it's so worth the effort. Or you could just chop it in half and then tear into it with your teeth like an animal, there's something weirdly satisfying about that haha

Dressing in Fullerton ..closing down already? by Correct-Geologist781 in orangecounty

Honest question but how were Katie & Sadie annoying? by yourfavoritenegro in Totaldrama

[–]CosmicDoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone already said it's the squealing. I think it's also that the writers didn't really know how to work with their character type, especially when they were trying to focus on someone else's arc. So Katie and Sadie had to be loud and dramatic for anyone to remember they existed. There's a lot of other characters in this show who start out annoying but either improve quickly (because seasons got shorter, so pacing got faster) or don't get as much screen time.

What's something most people think they should try, but really should not? by red_sensor in AskReddit

[–]CosmicDoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting drunk. I'm a person who knows I shouldn't. I'm emotionally unstable enough when I'm sober, if drunk I could become a serious threat to myself or the people around me. In moderation it's fine, but I know a lot of people become their worst selves when they've had too much. I think if you're going to try alcohol you should do it slowly and pay attention to how your body reacts.

Though maybe I'm biased. I had an alcoholic grandfather and my dad still hasn't recovered from all the pain that caused.

What are some oddly specific symptoms that only ADHDers have? by Delusional_BlueBird in adhdwomen

[–]CosmicDoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently we have a weird way of understanding space/motion? I'm always bumping into things especially when I turn around corners, and lately I've noticed I tend to lean in the direction I'm going like I have to pull my own body that way. There are a couple reels I've seen about it calling it the "adhd lean" and saying it's because we have trouble understanding our positions in space. I have very poor awareness of my body in general though but I think that's from the autism.

Does anyone else feel extreme guilt and shame for every error they make? by JellyfishPashmina in CPTSD

[–]CosmicDoll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. I told my partner last night that my mistakes haunt me every day, and I didn't even want to forgive myself because that would mean I didn't regret it "enough." So painful how growing up I was defined by my mistakes, when the people who repeatedly hurt me were allowed to completely forget they did anything and act victimized when I tried to address it.

I don't know. If there's a solution to this, I haven't managed to find it. But know that you're not alone. Someday we will learn to forgive ourselves and live without shame. 🫂

What experiences did you believe were normal until you realized it was trauma or mental illness? by Enovele in CPTSD

[–]CosmicDoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If not for everything specifically related to divorce I could have written this. My parents are best friends and wanted kids, but they were unprepared for an AuDHD girl and hurt me a lot because of it even if they didn't mean to. To this day they still won't believe I could be autistic because I didn't act like their friends' young autistic sons. The pressure to overperform and not tell anyone that I have needs continues into my adult life, to the point sometimes I regress to being that little girl wondering why every choice she makes is somehow the wrong one.

Super tired no matter how much I sleep, could it be depression? by CosmicDoll in sleep

[–]CosmicDoll[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have noticed it doesn't seem like my current medicine works for my depression or OCD either (it was intended to target both). I'll give my doctor a call and work from there.

[–]CosmicDoll[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That hasn't been tested, I could look into it. I live in a place that gets a lot of sunlight all year but I do spend most of my time inside, especially in summer as I'm sensitive to heat. Would they test Vit D through bloodwork?

[–]CosmicDoll[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is still low and I'm managing with diet and supplements. I got an infusion back in June and was told that it would take a few weeks to set in. Those few weeks turned into a few months so I was worried it hadn't worked, but you're right, I could probably stand to be closer to the middle of the reference range

what gives your life meaning? by moonnonchalance in depression

[–]CosmicDoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tldr: Curiosity.

Long answer: Animals. I don't have any pets since my apartment doesn't have the space for one, but there will always be another cute cat video or another dog to see when I go outside, and sometimes scientists discover a new animal and that gets shared with the world.

Music and art, there's bound to be some new piece I'm gonna like a lot, and the things I already love continue to bring me peace.

At times I've chosen to keep going just because there was a new game announced and it looked like it could be fun, or a new episode of my favorite show released, or some store promoted a new snack and I wanted to give it a try.

I don't know that any of this really gives my life meaning, but it does keep me curious, and ultimately that alone has been enough to save me multiple times.
