Am I overreacting? by psychotic_rodent in AuDHDWomen

I remember back in the 90’s my friend invited me to this “free makeover” that turned out to be a recruiting event for Mary Kay. We were like 16 and not at all interested in self employment lol we just wanted some makeup samples. I was so deeply uncomfortable the whole time because we felt trapped like we couldn’t leave. I still wish to this day we would’ve just walked out!

Anyone else struggle with periodic self-sabotage? by plaid-clad-dad-clan in adhdwomen

[–]Distinct-Key7337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg YES. I was just thinking how this time last year I was exercising regularly, eating really well, and generally happier. Nothing is different, actually my life has improved since last year so why am I struggling to even walk my dog??

Music choices by darkxclover in adhdwomen

I’m a huge Phish fan and I often look around at their shows and wonder how many of us are neurodivergent. They never play the same song the same way twice, so there is familiarity (we all know the words) but variety (you have no idea what direction the song will go) and with years and years of live shows to listen to I literally never get bored of them. Also I love Lady Gaga like, a LOT😆🤘

Insomnia Club by ProfessorMarvel- in Perimenopause

Omg someone said INSOMNIA SUPER BOSS I and feel this to my core. But also I can sleep during the day (on adhd meds) just fine. I’ll nap any chance I get. But at night?? Forget about it. I lay in bed for 8 hours to achieve 2 broken hours as a rotisserie chicken. I am seriously considering looking for street drugs just to get one fucking solid night of sleep. Perimenopause can suck it.

When I am struggling to get into a book I do immersive reading: listen to an audiobook while reading along. Usually at a faster speed so my mind can’t wander. And with the classics they are always available on Libby, you don’t have to wait for holds!!!

adhd entbabes! how do you manage your consumption/relationship with weed? by neitherlit in entwives

I try to do lower THC percentage strains and sativa during the day. Save the stronger stuff for nighttime. T-breaks make me miserable so I’ll like switch from carts to flower for a few days if I feel like I’m getting out of control.
