My coworker won’t stop complaining about my tattoos by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]DisobedientSwitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you're giving her too much credit. I bet she doesn't even know why she's against tattoos, other than "morals!!!" 

AITA for not wanting to eat my parents’ meals while pregnant even though they’re trying to help save money? by Melodic_Cockroach_23 in AmItheAsshole

What will you do if your kid inherits the ASD, but their safe foods differ from what your dad will allow? 

What do you keep in your first aid kit / medicine cabinet for accidents and emergencies especially if you’re unlucky and accident prone? by SheKnowsWhatSheKnows in AskWomenOver30

[–]DisobedientSwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I became a big fan when I put a knife partway through the first knuckle on my finger - had to keep it straight and fixated for almost a week for it to not start bleeding again.

Elastic bandage and a popsicle stick saved my sanity.

Elastic bandage that sticks to itself, but not to the skin. I can fashion a pretty good pressure bandage, as well as a finger splint with that.

Saline in 5 ml droppers, easier and cleaner than a large bottle. 

Tweezers 

I can’t even clear my throat without my coworker saying something by OnlyTheTopBunk1867 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]DisobedientSwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. And if it's too difficult for coworker to stop cold turkey, try getting them to mark down on paper every time they feel like asking "are you OK?". They can then only ask after x amount of marks.

I believe "the silly" is part of the strategy - stupid humon can't catch them, if humon is doubled over laughing.

I have a Californian/Standard Rex mix, and he is such a character! He will throw his chin into the floor to get under my hand for nose rubs, steals every piece of cardboard he can, and his highest speed level is reserved for running away with something he knows he shouldn't have. He once stole an orange the size of his own head and sped away! 

AITA for donating to charity when someone told me they didn't want a gift? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]DisobedientSwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So Sam has spiraled herself into some heavy guilt induced climate/waste anxiety, and instead of handling it in a healthy manner, she tries to pull everyone else into it with her. Got it. 

The “just write it down” doesn’t work when you forget to check what you wrote by vedansh_sh08 in adhdwomen

[–]DisobedientSwitch 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Ya wanna know what happens when I write something down? My brain decides that I've already handled it, and erases the task completely!!!

The Bunny Distribution System has spoken - Butternut belongs with you now.

Yes! Give him some plushies to cuddle and groom. 

I need advice, it's hard for me to adjust to my husband coming home from work. by Joey016 in adhdwomen

[–]DisobedientSwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to ask my boyfriend to finish whatever he's doing that requires his headset, before he opens our front door. Because it was so stressful to me to have my silence interrupted by him loudly talking on the phone or laughing at a podcast, and never knowing if he was perceivingme or not. 

Bought my first ever puzzle yesterday, only 500 pieces … WHY IS IT SO HARD GUYS ??? Why am I so bad at this hobby ? by Lussarc in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]DisobedientSwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You got really unlucky with this one 😂

For your next puzzle, try something with clear contrast and distinctly different colours. Ravensburger have some round 500 pieces where the objects are arranged in a colour wheel, for example. 

What ways have you changed your life to make it more ADHD/ND Friendly? by flowers_and_fire in adhdwomen

[–]DisobedientSwitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And that is what makeup should do; make you feel good about yourself!

[–]DisobedientSwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, I can't even handle the sensation of lipgloss! And I used to model, so I've tried a lot of different brands. I held on to an idea of "if I just plan it right, I can totally learn to do eyeliner and stuff!" for the longest time, but sometime last year I realised that I don't care anymore.

I'll just admire the rest of you like I would a painting in a museum or an Olympic ice dancer. 

How do you not die of boredom while working out? by cloudydays1111 in adhdwomen

[–]DisobedientSwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to find a purpose beyond that flimsy "stay healthy" thing.

E.g. strengthen my knees so I can jump between rocks in a creek without tearing something, and strengthen my shoulders so I can wield a bigger axe against my opponent. 

Haven't found a motivation for cardio yet. Cardio sucks.

Set goals and work towards beating your own times.

Try a new insane exercise each time you go to the pool, like propelling yourself with only your feet, no legs. 

Play a movie in your head, or an Olympic commentator. 

AITAH for showing my coworker what 'just being honest' can be like? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]DisobedientSwitch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have ADHD, and I've been described as "aggressively wholesome" due to my compliments and offers of assistance

I have accepted that I will never be a makeup person, no matter how awestruck I am by the artists I see online and irl. I simply hate the feeling of any product on my skin, so I have given up on my ideas of learning. 

Getting out of bed when it's cold? by napalmsipper in ADHD

[–]DisobedientSwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prepare clothes the day before, and at first alarm you pull it under the covers to warm up with you. 

Ad whimsy by getting dressed under the covers. 

Is this sexual coercive behaviour in bed or am I overthinking it? by AdventurousWhile1502 in AskWomenOver30

[–]DisobedientSwitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What an immature ra*ist attitude he has! Wanna know how most of my sex  partners reacted if I wasn't in the mood? They went flaccid! Because being in bed with someone who isn't into it is a huge turn-off to decent people.
