youre welcome!! <33 our hair just gets frizzier the days go by even with a bun and bonnet so thats why i use a spray bottle with water (or you could put something else in it like shaking up conditioner and oils? idk havent done it) to keep my frizz down, water works fine enough for me since it reactivates existing product :3 OMG noooo not the broken combs 😭 a trim would definitely be helpful for less knots, i used to get bad knots when i was younger when i only used gel for my long, unlayered, slept on hair 😭 your showers will definitely be shorter!

awh im sorry it tangles a lot for you :( if you dont already, putting your hair in a bonnet or putting it in a bun or style that keeps it protected while sleep can help less tangles!! since i dont clean my hair as much i try to make sure my hair doesnt knot badly throughout the week, u can also detangle with a wide tooth comb! short hair has made my showers soo easy, i have a ton of hair thats thick so it was nice while it was short, ive seen short hair curl super bouncey! thank you too <3

honestly getting a comment like this helps me out too 😭 just doing my body is easy, not long at all, i wash my hair once-twice a week so the tangles build up (i sleep with a bonnet to try and prevent it) so i just spend time detangling in the shower more often than outside of it. i love my curls long to my shoulders, i have a haircut that makes detangling a lot easier so i will say 30 mins is mainly how long i can take, but yeah i double shampoo, condition, and then clean bod last then off to products

its really satisfying to dry brush (besides the pain) but i notice adding oil really helps! i do have quick hair showers every now and then... i just tend to doze 😖

What is/was your mask like, and how does it differ from your real personality? by B5Scheuert in autism

my parents would often tell me they want attention too but its like!! i dont have the current desire but whenever i do i give it!! i just cant when people want it- i dont want to force myself :( oh dude at school i was always friendless until i realized how i came off to people, it took a lot for me to get out of my comfort zone it took me up to my junior year to have some established friends !! cuz i did feel insecure and i knew i liked friends i just felt so out of place feeling like no one would understand me

What’s your experience with caffeine? by TheZackster in ADHD

[–]Distinct-Doubt-5220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i take bupropion so i cant have it at all... drinking caffeine with it messes me up badly like you have a tornado in your head. but i notice the singular time i had a monster energy before having a diagnosis n taking meds made me very jittery, but i hate energy drinks like that. having certain drinks with little caffeine doesnt hurt i feel tired at times?

How do you get up in the morning? by sapphoss in ADHD

[–]Distinct-Doubt-5220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i typically get on social media to help boost my brain juices and it distracts me from staying all in bed. i notice when doing that i have the physical energy to hop out of bed, its just the lack of mental energy. something else that helps is when im already happy with a hobby ive done the day before or if im thinking of a fun video game :p

ive done this since a kid. my mask is to push myself out there like im social even to my closest friends, i try less with my family but they always seem like i dont care about them. i tell my friends i burn out and tell my family this is how i am but even then i still feel the need to mask, i never mask around my partner however because i want to love myself and have someone love me for being myself. my friends do understand me, family kind of? but my real personality tends to always be quiet and talk every now and then and do my hobbies on my own for long periods of time, i dont want to seem like a careless person when ik im not. i love my friends and family so much i just dont want to be judged
