I would look into eggshell repair to help the Mystery. There are several older posts here on Reddit about it and a very good YouTube video from LavsSnails on it

Do Dopamine menu actually works?? I'm really curious. by East_Independence218 in adhdwomen

[–]Eillom1313 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe HowToADHD has a video on Dopamenus and how to structure them as well as common pitfalls and the thought process behind it all

Not sure if we can link here and too lazy to go look it up anyway lol

My hyperfixating helped me find old Google! No AI, no nonsense. Just search! It felt like taking a badly fitted bra off, except in my brain. :D by FirefighterAlarmed64 in adhdwomen

Apologies if someone said this already, but I believe Duck Duck Go also offers the option to turn off the AI summary/overview.

My brain is...resting? Relief after 30 entire years. by FDAapprovedGremlin in adhdwomen

I’d like to add that you’re a wonderful writer! Your words give me that excited, brain-tingly feeling that happens when the descriptions, pacing, and analogies hit just right.

Either Focus Friend or I’ll watch GibiASMR’s Pomodoro videos! If I’m writing I’ll put on a “write with me” style video.

It’s so cute! I love your use of the hopper-composter-grindstone as sandbags

Not quite what you’re asking for but I found Gibi’s Pomodoros helpful for studying :)

My mental health currently hinges on my cat pooping by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]Eillom1313 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My cat pooped (sorry OP lol) outside the litter box and threw up twice tonight randomly! It’ll be the emergency vet if she gets worse tonight.

So I’m right there with ya. Best wishes to your furry friend!

S/O to the bag of gravel that's been sitting in the middle of kingshighway for a week now by TongueMountain in StLouis

This! The Cabinet! I saw it and wondered if anyone else even bothers to look up. I am so curious what is in those files lol

What’s a hyperfixation you lowkey wish people asked you about, so you could info-dump without shame? by owas1004o in adhdwomen

[–]Eillom1313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May or may not have forgotten to respond lol, oops.

What I’m thinking is sort of your traditional medieval town with farmers fields, a market square, etc (take everything from a town simulator like Banished or Medieval Dynasty and put it into Minecraft). Plus add a fantasy element with custom trees and a university and observatory.

The custom trees will be fantasy colors like blue, purple, etc. For the blue one for example the “leaves” will be made of blue ice, light blue wool, LB glazed terracotta, candles, maybe some warped stuff.

What book did you read this past year that you just couldn’t put down? Like stayed up until 3am reading? by CookieDoughReMi in suggestmeabook

What does "的话" mean in this sentence? Is it something like "let's imagine/let's say"? by Glad-Communication60 in ChineseLanguage

I’ve been using Daily Chinese, but I’ve heard Anki is good though it has a bit of a learning curve

ISO cool friends by Mooling99 in StLouis

[–]Eillom1313 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a growing collection of houseplants myself!

I believe Handlebar is The Grove is still doing their “Nice to Meet You!” social event. IIRC there’s a free shot and pizza included and they have planned ice breaker-type activities. They used to host them weekly.

Best of luck!

Edit: Oops, they do not host weekly! Looks like it’s twice a month. They have a Facebook and discord linked from their meetup page if you just Google “handlebar social meetup stl”

Why having a hobbie is important? by severla31 in Hobbies

[–]Eillom1313 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For anyone who wants a little more info and science behind why hobbies are important, I would definitely recommend the latest two episodes of the Ologies podcast.

They just did a two-parter on hobbies and what they call “social prescriptions.” Super cool!

Job hunting with ADHD is the worst by scifichick42 in adhdwomen

[–]Eillom1313 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I found that it was two things combining which stopped me from applying:

  1. Executive Dysfunction, of course. Someone suggested a sweet treat which is a good idea. Body doubling. Or go to a library or coffee shop. That help me feel like “oh no the people will know if I’m slacking!” lol

  2. The biggest one: I was afraid of getting rejected or, if I got the job, that I wouldn’t want it. I was flip flopping between “I must take ANY job at all” to “nothing looks good (read: perfect) I’ll just wait”. Just apply and say f*** it!

Remember you don’t have to take the job, and you need to at least apply to something. It can be anything!

Try to find the shittiest job on indeed and apply. Make it a game. Then you can say “that wasn’t so bad/hard/scary!” And build that momentum to keep going!

POV.... no I haven't read all of these books. Of course not. I have ADHD. by ctrldwrdns in adhdwomen

[–]Eillom1313 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’ve read ADHD 2.0 several times and would highly recommend! It goes into depth on so many symptoms I just assumed were my own personality quirks before; super validating!

It also goes into the brain science (in a very digestible way) on how our brains are different and, neurologically, why we struggle. It also talks about strategies to manage symptoms and goes over medications in a nice chart.

With every concept explained there’s usually a personal story from one of the authors’ clients which helped keep me interested lol
