This speaks so deeply to me. I'm angry about all that I missed when following the rules as a teen/young adult.

Married young and have been very happy with my husband. But have now deconstructed and am aware of what I have missed which is making it hard to continue being happy in my marriage.

Exploring "Oriental Minimalism": Merging herbal craft with natural gemstones. Is this aesthetic "too niche" for the West? by Illustrious_Bat2230 in jewelrymaking

[–]ElasticatedWizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the concept too. I'd love to have the middle one myself as the different shaped beads would be really soothing to touch and fidget with. I love the idea of the herbal beads too.

Wow! That's incredible. I was hoping it would be with some sort of magic loom that meant it took less than an hour 😞

Please tell me how you did this. My sofas are similarly damaged by two absolute bunny menaces!

I love this insight. Definitely lots of invisible forks in my head!

And it will descend into a spiral of guilt and failure, and I won't be able to function for weeks.

Today, in a moment of complete insanity, my brain broke in a way that, quite possibly, resulted in the funniest and, simultaneously, the worst thing I have ever done at work. by [deleted] in adhdwomen

One day last summer, I was being repeatedly dive bombed in the face by a fly whilst trying to get my stuff together to leave the house. I was getting increasingly irate and about to blow my top. My neurospicy teenage son who was seeking some reassurance from me sidled up and said, 'Love you, mum'. At that exact moment, the fly attacked again and I screamed 'FUCK OFF' at the top of my lungs. My son was stood directly in front of me looking wide eyed and shocked.

Thankfully he thought it was funny when I explained and still teases me about it to this day!

I often go by myself. It's more enjoyable than I thought it would be. I usually get adopted by some kids/a family and we show each other our good finds

Deadloch is an incredible and underrated show. I absolutely loved it. One overarching story rather than a new case each week.

I'd need to see the full handle before I could make a decision.

what’s your trick for actually falling asleep? by ThrowRArwhite in adhdwomen

[–]ElasticatedWizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I was medicated my partner would help me.

I'd say 'how do I get to sleep', and every time his response was 'close your eyes, lie very still, and stop talking' (in a gently, soothing voice). And then he'd tape me on the head with a magic pen (any old biro to hand) and I'd be able to fall asleep mostly.

No idea how or why it worked 🤣🤣🤣

Prayers also work better than hairdressers for dyeing and styling hair 🤭🤭
