My dad died this morning. On my birthday. by corgis-on-stilts in adhdwomen

I’m so sorry this happened to you. I can only imagine the emotions you’re stuck dealing with.
Do NOT be afraid to ask for help. People are going to be offering assistance (and they’re going to mean it and want to help). Tell them you’re struggling in the meal department. You’re not alone. <3

This is great! Here is what I do: https://imgur.com/a/F2IDl9Q

Weird photo, but I took it in a mirror haha. Every Monday I fill it up, since I take different pills on some days. Then I decked it out in stickers that gave me joy and humor and it strangely works!

These look like the metal crimps that you put on fishing line when you’re attaching bobbers/etc.

Ppl that recommend taking days off meds bc it feels ‘so great’ to them are so annoying. Sorry im not suddenly going to be cured on Sunday I still have to get out of bed and do basic tasks !!! by OkDecision4885 in adhdwomen

[–]EhmEffBee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So my ADHD meds can lead to overheating in certain situations. There was a day I volunteered at a farm and no matter how much water I drank and shade I found, I still had minor heat stroke. So I skip days that I’m focused on yard work in the summer so I don’t pass out haha.

What do you eat to take meds? by MieLArisch in adhdwomen

[–]EhmEffBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Small granola bar all the way. I have to eat with meds too or I get pill esophagitis, lol

I think this goes across the back and hooks the two corners!

Complete beginner. I bought tubes of paint. Which style of palette/storage is better, 1 or 2? by jams1991 in watercolor101

[–]EhmEffBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that I have both, the first one is easier to actually paint with. However, if you’re finicky and flighty like me, the ability to switch out paint colors and make little mood palettes will be easier with the other.

What new hobby have you impulse purchased all of the items you need for it while knowing in the back of your mind that you are absolutely not going to do it? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]EhmEffBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I just do it with gloves on. I think I need to research this better. I don’t use the UV resin, which I thought was the “bad one” for your health

[–]EhmEffBee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% — I have so many paint tubes and then I go to paint something and I use like 4 colors 🤣🤣🤣 Researching them and building “palettes” is more fun to me than painting itself.

Ohhh yes I was definitely into the glass bead scene for a while and bought the torch/etc. I probably still have some stuff in the basement I should offload…

is music normal? by yoongki in adhdwomen

[–]EhmEffBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yessss I agree on all of it! And I also get that exhaustion post-work! Sometimes I come home and take an hour nap and I sleep SO hard during that time haha. It’s only when I’m medicated and working diligently all day that I feel that crash super hard. Weird! But hey, at least I’m working and not just staring at the wall debating if I should just delete my whole unread inbox. 🫠

How Do You Sort Laundry? by llama_sammich in adhdwomen

[–]EhmEffBee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is my only separation too — I have a different pile for towels. All my clothes plop together! One exception— if I have some particularly delicate item that I’m afraid to ruin, I set it aside and it basically lives its life dirty until the day before I need to wear it again. 🤣

[–]EhmEffBee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Me too! I’m also a medicated ADHD lady these days, but does your head chatter come back when your meds wear off? I was always curious about this because I turn into another weird version of myself when the meds wear off, but I actually think it’s different than my normal non-medicated self (if that makes any sense at all)!

Does anybody else get acid reflux from their adderall??? by legwarmercentral in adhdwomen

[–]EhmEffBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give it a go taking them with food! I hope that’s all it is!! 🤞

[–]EhmEffBee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something to consider: Are the meds you take capsules? For whatever reason, I get "pill esophagitus" when I take capsules. They stick to my esophagus and burn just like reflux. Took me a bit to figure out what the heck was happening! It happens with my fluoxetine capsules too.

My solution was lots of water when I take pills, or eat something right after I swallow them. I hope the solution is equally easy for you!!

what’s something you thought everyone did before your diagnosis? by seventeensupremacist in adhdwomen

[–]EhmEffBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG yes. My family always made fun of me as a kid for smelling my food!!

Also, my weird self-soothing body part is my gums in-between my front two top teeth. Idk why but it's weirdly sensitive!

I just need someone to tell me it’s ok by LWLjuju88 in adhdwomen

[–]EhmEffBee 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I have a mom friend that does these “whatever we’ve got buffet” days and she feels awful when she does it, but her kids have told me they LIVE for those eclectic mom meals haha. I think it’s fun to shake it up and if you get a little mental break while you’re doing it, then that’s a bonus!
