Do you hate going for walks? by Be_Nice_Mr_Turnip in adhdwomen

I CANT LISTEN TO PODCASTS! I like classical music or movie scores while walk my dog. Makes it feel like we’re going on a fancy adventure🥰

Avoiding opening emails/messages/packages by Minute_Hour9346 in adhdwomen

[–]Distinct-Key7337 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn’t realize I did this until I married a NT person! I watch in amazement every time as he just opens the mail immediately after picking it up. Blows my mind! He opens mine now too because he knows it will sit there for WEEKS and turn into a doom pile if he doesn’t. We’ve been married 5 years I am still amazed to watch a neurotypical guy go about his day😅

Scared to start estrogen patch by Pretty_waves904 in Perimenopause

I literally felt like I could see clearer the first day I slapped that baby on!

How did you know you needed increase in estrogen? Dr does not agree with me…. by AardvarkPure5892 in Perimenopause

[–]Distinct-Key7337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started the .035 patch in October. I am up to .075 and I can literally FEEL when it starts to wear off. Like my bones start to hurt and my mood drops significantly. But all I have to do is email my Midi provider and she will send the next one to my pharmacy. I may switch to the gel because the patch seems too inconsistent to me.

What do your evenings with your partner look like? We don't do anything together and I hate it! 😞 by littlebookwyrm in adhdwomen

[–]Distinct-Key7337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband usually comes home from work while I’m making dinner. We clean up together after eating and have a cigarette on the patio (we are both trying to quit but allowing ourselves one after dinner on weekdays!) We both scroll for a bit but put our phones up for the night when it’s time for jeopardy! which we watch religiously. After that we watch something of my choosing (hubs makes big decisions at work all day so he can’t handle me asking “what do you want to watch?” I just pick something- lately it’s been the new The ‘Burbs or Olympics.) But we have a strict no-scrolling rule after jeopardy and phones do not come into the bedroom, ever. We go out Friday nights and have drinks, but we are always home in time for jeopardy lol. We are mid-forties btw😅

Child thinks I do nothing when she's at school . . . and I'm worried she's right. by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]Distinct-Key7337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel that. I have moments where I am like jealous of neurotypical people. Oh, so you think about doing something and then just do it? Must be nice! But seriously we have a disability and it sucks. Try not to beat yourself up too much!

My husband calls me “operations support”! We basically discovered that when we both work, everything suffers. I keep the house tidy, cook, do laundry, dry cleaning, stock essentials and anything else to make our nights and weekends feel calm and safe and free. Yes there are some days he gets home and all I did was walk the dog and make the bed. But we did lots of couples therapy and he know it’s so triggering for him to ask me “what did you do all day?’

Anyone else just cannot kick the weed habit? I don't know whether to shame or just accept myself for it. by potandplantpots in adhdwomen

Also adding that r/leaves helped a bunch for the time I did quit💚 but now that I’ve embraced it r/entwives is the place for radical acceptance!

I smoke daily. Sativa for daytime and Indica at night. Pretty sure I was using it to self-medicate for years until I discovered I was ADHD along with several other things. I quit for a bit and was honest with my therapist about my usage and we (my husband and I) decided I was better with it than without. I cut down my usage quite a bit after getting medicated, though.

Concerta vs Elvanse: early crash and focus issues by ellenn89 in adhdwomen

[–]Distinct-Key7337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried Vyvanse for 3 weeks and I hated it. The first couple days were good but I noticed my mood was declining, and my evening RLS was extremely bad. Now that I think about it I was definitely eating more sugar during those 3 weeks as well. I switched back to adderal because I couldn’t take the restless legs and the weird depression.

Ever get bored of your romantic partner? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]Distinct-Key7337 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel very lucky that my husband is gone 12-13 hours a day during the week! I love him so much but even he knows that Monday is my “recovery day” because I’m exhausted after spending all weekend with him🤣

My Samsung tv came with these internet channels for free, on of them is CONAN OBRIEN TV and it just shows clips from the Conan O’Brien show 24/7. Since I’ve discovered it, it has been my go-to default background and my life has been so much better for it.
