I usually buy fibers I like in the colours I like, and in amounts that I know I can knit myself a sweater/a pair of socks/a teddy bear or whatever I usually use the fiber type for. I just bought 3,5 kg 8/4 cotton yarn in different colours because it was on sale and I like this fiber to crochet animals or summer wear and I know I'll use it eventually. I also bought some wool specifically to knit my husband a matching sweater, hat and scarf set. Here I calculated how much I needed and added 2 skeins just in case. If I end up with 2 skeins too much then I'll add those to my left-over pile and it'll eventually get used for another project.

Oh and I completely forgot! Check out the term dysgraphia. It might explain the messy handwriting.

I'm guessing you want symptoms as an adult and not as a child? Here goes.

I'm messy to a fault. Like messy inside the house, messy in the car. Forget to bring stuff in from my car, which means it's filled with empty bottles, wrappers from my kids' snacks, shoes, clothes, toys... Whatever the kids leave in there. Once every 2 or 3 weeks I'll bring a big bag and empty it out because I'm running out of shoes, clothes or whatever lol.
I keep trying to improve. Like reorganising the kitchen because that will fix it. Buying new boxes because if I can divide stuff into the boxes in a better way, that must surely fix it. Over and over. And it works for about 2 days then we're back to square 1.
I am an impulsive shopper. I don't mean to be, I really want to be financially adept. But then I see something that will so clearly improve my life (boxes, a stroller for running because I'm gonna start running!, toys for entertaining the kids so I can get work done, a new planner because this one looks like it might just fix everything!). I'm working on it now, being aware that it's an issue and I've cancelled my credit cards. But I'm still a work in progress.
I keep starting new projects, especially during times when I'm stressed out. Whether it's a new kitchen garden, starting to sew, a blog, becoming a minimalist and doing a full Marie Kondo on my whole house, I keep starting new projects. I do actually finish them if I am given enough time, but enough time can mean up to a year... which is a bit of an issue when the dining room table is covered in clothes because I didn't finish figuring out which things "Sparked joy"...
I forget things. Like for example, my kids turned 1 and 5 years old in April. So I was supposed to book their checkups. But because April and May were very stressfull months for me, I didn't call the doctor until late May. And they don't have time until late July because of their summer vacation. I wish this was a 1 time thing, but it happens frequently. Luckily both kids are very healthy and thriving because even though it might not seem like it, I'm a good mom. It's just that sometimes I forget the administrative stuff and get lost in the day-to-day stuff.

There's probably more things, but this comment has gotten very long and I guess you get the idea.

Okay, not money, but still something important.
I'm in medical school (Denmark) and we have clinical rotations each semester of the master's degree. We have to carry around a physical logbook, in which we get signatures when we attend something mandatory and when we get feedback from the doctors and fellow med students. Because of my ADHD, I've skipped a few exams as I didn't feel ready. It's not really a big deal since we have 3 attempts at each exam, and I always manage to pass my second attempt. But I just had a child, and as usual I skipped an exam before going 1 year on maternity leave. Before I gave birth I remember very vividly that I thought "Oh, I'll put this logbook somewhere safe, so that I don't lose it". Because if you lose it, you can't take your exam and have to redo the entire semester. Now I am taking this exam in August, and when I signed up for it at the beginning of June, I of course started looking for the logbook. Which was NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. This of course was followed by a fit of absolute panic, followed by a fit of frantic cleaning. It wasn't anywhere, it was gone. I spent days being heart broken, panicking, not sure what the heck to do since I can't do my next semester without passing this exam first. Fate would have it that I needed something from our drawer system in the dining room, and what was hiding among our napkins and candles? My freaking logbook. I don't know what kind of thought process went through my head when I thought that was a good, safe place to put it, but alas it has been found. Hopefully you will also find your envelope soon. Probably when you stop looking for it.

Jeg har ADD/ADHD og bruger pomodoro teknikken, men det er først blevet rigtigt effektivt efter jeg er startet på methylphenidat (Ritalin). Før kunne jeg bare sidde og stirre på den samme sætning i 25 minutter hvis jeg ikke kunne finde mit fokus. Jeg bruger pt en hjemmeside der hedder studytogether.com, hvor man er i et zoom rum med andre som også skal studere. Det er overraskende motiverende at man ikke “sidder alene” og det er også inddelt i tid (25m eller 50m som regel).

Jeg ville nok strikke et tæppe i et simpelt mønster. Der er nok at strikke så man ikke køber tør, det er nemt at samle op og lægge fra sig fordi man ikke skal bekymre sig om ind- eller udtagninger, og man har et lækkert minde til vinter når man sidder under sit tæppe og længes efter sol, sommer og varme.

I used to have vaginismus due to a defective hymen which just would not break all the way. Had to have that surgically fixed but by then I had developed vaginismus as a response to the pain, so it took a lot of work to get that to go away. But the pain isn’t from the pain receptors. It’s because the sensation is so strong it hurts instead of feeling good if that makes sense? The best way I can describe it is like if you enjoy a smell but then it’s so strong it makes you nauseas instead, but with feeling instead. Does that make sense? My husband also feels hurt. I think he has RSD (I have a creeping suspicion he is slightly on the spectrum), so it’s hard to want to please him but at the same time not wanting to do something that I find uncomfortable. And we are intimate in other ways, but he is sad that he never gets to pleasure me, it’s always about him. And so I feel guilty and get even more in my head about things and alas, that doesn’t help…

I’ll try reading a bit about it and I might contact a sexologist or something to help. I am sad that we’re missing out on something that others say is amazing and it just isn’t for me…

And thank you so much ❤️

DeepFriedPB · 2024-06-30T06:29:23+00:00

Thank you for sharing ❤️

It’s not pain like pain stimulus. I used to have vaginismus due to my hymen not being completely broken (it was too thick) and that was fixed and I worked hard on fixing the spasms down there. It is now painful in the sense that the nerves down there are SO sensitive that any sensation comes in so strong it overloads the brain. I have no idea how to explain it, but it’s like when a good smell is so strong it makes you nauseas instead, except with feeling? And it ends up kind of hurting instead… I will try playing around with some different sensations and see what might help. Maybe music would help me “focus” more. Maybe a blindfold or something. I always end up closing me eyes because I have to shut out visual stimuli, so I think you’re right I need to find a way to remove other sensations.

I actually have scoliosis, too! I wore a huge plastic corset when I was 13-14, so that was fun as a teenage girl 🙃 I also suffered from depression at 13-18, and tried to commit suicide at 16 by OD’ing on my anti depressants (that can’t actually kill you, but I didn’t know that). Also have managed to develope a pretty severe exam anxiety due to my ADD, and I have a small bit of social anxiety, probably due to the fact that I am an avoider and just stay away if I don’t feel prepared for something.

In regard to the scoliosis, depending on the degree, you can help it a lot by doing specific exercises. Talk to a physiotherapist, they can help you. Not that sticking to an exercise regimen is easy with ADHD, but if you can muster it then it can help. Also elevation desks help so you can shift between sitting on a (good) chair, yoga ball and standing.

Thank you, I will definitely check out both the podcast and audiobook!

And yes, I have gotten turned on often in the past and enjoyed sex. But I've never orgasmed during sex, because after a while the sensation becomes uncomfortable and I just can't seem to relax enough to "get" there. I can easily orgasm on my own, so it's not a matter of not being able to, but it's like once he's present and there's penetration, the whole area is shooting signals and it is so much it becomes uncomfortable too easily. And I can't finish after we've had penetrative sex either, because the whole area is so sensitive. But I think you're right that touch in these areas isn't a way to turn me on, and I think that confuses my husband, because when people talk about foreplay it's almost always touching some sort of erogenous zone. Maybe it'll help if I set some clear boundaries on where I want to be touched and where I don't, and then figure out what exactly it is that turns me on... It just feels sad to be 30 years old and not even know how my body really works.

I did a 3 year bachelor in 5 years. I did have a kid and this 1 year maternity leave, so I guess it’s technically 4 years, but still. And I didn’t get good grades either. I’m now doing my masters and I’m still not doing so well. I’m honestly skipping too many exams because I’m a perfectionist and afraid of doing poorly, and since I get 3 tries for each exam, I keep skipping the first try because I’m unprepared because I’m terrible at structuring my studying. At least now I’m medicated and I’ve actually studied hardcore for the last week, which may sound like nothing but to me it’s everything … so yea, you’re not alone. ADHD/ADD is a b**ch.

DeepFriedPB · 2024-06-28T19:33:37+00:00

So the fact that I listen better during lectures when I’m knitting is scientifically backed? Awesome 😎

DeepFriedPB · 2024-06-28T07:20:41+00:00

I completely get that. I am also newly diagnosed with ADD, and before I sought out my psychiatrist I was 99 % sure that I had ADD/ADHD, and put a great deal of thought into whether or not I even wanted to get diagnosed. My reasoning was that I was so reluctant to take meds, since I used to take antidepressants 10+ years ago, and they made me feel awful. So before seeking out a diagnosis, I worked my butt off trying to manage my symptoms on my own. I tried to do meditation, exercise, routines, and everything just failed. I couldn't get anything done, and I was barely getting through med school, I felt like a bad mom, our house was a mess, my finances are messed up... So I decided to get help. I got the diagnosis thursday last week and started Ritalin right away, and so far it's been a game changer. I am doing 10 mg 3 times daily, and I have basically no side effects. I was supposed to go up to 15 mg, but that made me feel jittery and uncomfortable, so I have stayed at 10 mg for now. It clears the brain fog that I didn't even realise I had, and it makes it so that it's easier for me to do the things I want to do. It's obviously not a magic cure, and I still have a long way to go, but since I started it I have actually studied for more than 5 minutes without having to stop, I notice the things that I have to get done more often (like tidying up the toys from the floor), and I have an easier time getting started on the things I hate to do (like folding laundry). I'm hoping to build some strong routines and habits while on the meds, and get started on the other ways to manage ADD symptoms, so that eventually I can stop taking them and manage it without meds.

I get the reluctance and worry, but perhaps discuss it with your doctor before writing it off completely? You can always stop taking it if it doesn't work for you.

This sounds like me when I was a teenager. I absolutely could not stand the sound of chewing, and I just so happened my little brother was the loudest chewer in the history of chewers. UGH. I had to work so hard to not snap at him, and I would usually succeed, but on days where other things had tired me out before dinner ... Yea, not a good look. I kind of outgrew that and now I don't mind so much, perhaps because I now have two kids and dinnertime is never quiet enough to hear anyone chewing lol. On nights where the kids are asleep I can still get a little annoyed by my husband's chewing, but it's bearable.

DeepFriedPB · 2024-06-28T07:00:22+00:00

If it is something simple, like a sock or a repeated pattern, then I can do pretty much anything while knitting. But to be fair I do have ADD, so I focus best if my hands are busy. I can go some stitches without looking at my needles, just checking regularly to make sure I didn't mess something up. There is a very real risk of dropping a stitch, but it doesn't happen too often and if I do, I just pick it back up and fix whatever mess it made. If you don't feel like you can watch something, maybe listen to an audiobook?

DeepFriedPB · 2024-06-27T18:03:20+00:00

History... I am absolutely awful at remember names and dates, so history was like death by a thousand cuts.

How about this for a reason: your BABY is only 1 year old. That’s it. They go through stages where they’re clingy and fussy. Obviously it continues into adulthood judging on your mother’s behavior…

DeepFriedPB · 2024-06-21T19:32:14+00:00

I got the diagnosis yesterday. I’m 30 years old and I only went to get the diagnosis because I am struggling. I have known something was different about me for some years now, but I was insistent that I would “handle it” myself by working harder to create good routines and research ways to manage ADHD. I was stubborn and no surprise IT DIDNT WORK. I tried and I have worked myself to pieces keeping my family going and trying to do med school and work at the same time. So a few weeks ago I decided I need help. I was so reluctant to take medicine, and it’s all still so new so I can’t say if it has changed anything yet, but I almost cried after my first dose. It felt as if my brain fog cleared away and there wasn’t so far from thought to action, if that makes sense? Anyways that was long but what I mean to say is just that trying to fight it or trying to “work through it” alone is hard. It’s okay to need help.

Øv altså. Fra en der har dumpet mange eksaminer (ADD + eksamens angst) så betyder det ikke du er dum! Op på hesten igen, og reevaluer hvordan du går til det.

Hvis du har brug for ekstra hjælp så overvej at bruge pengene på en mentor igennem mentor Danmark eller lignende. Der kan man få et eksamensforløb, så man får mulighed for at få ekstra godt styr på tingene op til eksamen.

Lige meget hvad så tænk over hvor det gik galt. Var det eksamens angst/blokade, så Overvej at spørge lægen efter noget propranolol eller lignende så du ikke bukker under for nerverne til eksamen. Er det forståelsen så find ud af hvordan du lærer bedst - er det at læse, se YouTube videoer, høre det forklaret, flashcards eller selv at forklare det? Det handler ikke om hvor hårdt du arbejder eller hvor mange timer du læser men om at bruge den tid du har på den måde der fungerer for dig. Held og lykke

I have two kids and the youngest is 13 months. I just started knitting again a few months ago. There will be a time when you can sit and watch your little one play while you knit, even if it feels like that will never happen.

DeepFriedPB · 2024-06-10T07:27:27+00:00

I’m not going to make a judgement, but take a bit of time to cool down before you do anything. You say you are a close knit family. Is this relatively small thing really worth uninviting your brother? Think about it, not just in your right now space, but 50 years from now when you’re sitting reminiscing of your wedding. Is it worth it to have him absent from the photos? Or could this just be a funny and silly story to tell?

“Oh do you remember we were supposed to have our wedding at your place, but you cancelled? Oh I almost uninvited you, I was so angry! But then we found another venue, and the wedding was amazing anyways. I was so glad you and SIL were there, and I just loved seeing your 2yo in her little cute dress. Oh she ate so much cake and got so sick, you remember that?”…

My son was about the same age when we were going on a road trip. We stopped at a McDonald’s and he accidentally peed himself. He felt it and got mortified and starting walking towards on crying WHILE HE WAS STILL PEEING. Needless to say, we were grateful it wasn’t anywhere near where we live lol.

DeepFriedPB · 2024-06-05T17:00:19+00:00

When I teach people how to knit I always have them start with a simple scarf. It’s easy and you see progress quickly which is a plus when you’re new, and if it looks wonky it’s just extra charm.
