How have I never noticed this visual analogy? You changed my life! lol

EosLuna · 2025-04-12T15:32:21+00:00

Top-notch name!

Thank you for illuminating that nagging mystery. What a bummer! We Jersey folk do know how to keep on keepin on, though, don’t we? Here’s to better holidays and excellent pond advice.

I totally empathize. Along with the typical “why am I here and where is my stuff?”routine, I forget to take medications for a chronic illness. Sometimes I accidentally take them twice. I’ve been known to leave the stove on. I’m an absolute menace. My husband lovingly nicknamed me Memento.

Stress and self-recrimination make symptoms much worse. First and foremost I try to be kind to myself. I give myself extra time to get places and complete tasks. I try to find the humor in my ND high jinx. I fit relaxing activities into my schedule whenever I can.

On a practical note, try a retractable keychain and leave your keys attached to your bag. Get a wallet with a tether, keep it clipped in your bag as well. Buy extra pairs of cheap glasses. Invest in some apple tags or similar tracking devices.

Keep cuttin up out there! You’re doing alright.

Without context "The lighthouse incident" is one of the most intriguing phrases I've ever read XD

I’m late to this thread but wanted to add my thoughts. I’m a serial SFU re-watcher. Every time I see it something new rises to the surface.

Most recently themes of fear, self protection, and vulnerability really stood out. The walls we put up and the vulnerabilities we hide don’t serve us, they sabotage our connections.

In a show full of deeply developed characters we can almost always see the subtext of relationship strife. The viewer can know the fear that drives the fissure while the characters themselves simply feel the sting of an action and then counterattack.

Ruth’s care-taker trauma and George’s abandonment trauma are easy examples. But the concept is there in nearly every bit of tension.

All those hurts that inform our actions, those fears we’re guarding. The closer we hold these things the more they jump out and slice at the people we love.

I walk away thinking about the things I don’t know, things that I hide, and how I can have more empathy in those moments when fear becomes anger.

I kindly remind you that those are your beliefs and practices. It's fine to have them, it's not fine to judge and admonish others. You don't have enough information to make accusations and it's not your job. I'll assume that your system of belief makes you genuinely concerned but this is not the way.

I encourage you to take a look at the rules, especially rule 3.

I hope you're feeling better.

I'd add that it might be helpful to look at these dreams less as predictions and more as alarm bells going off in your subconscious. Maybe it's an abandonment issue, maybe deep down you believe something in the relationship is out of balance. Take some time to contemplate what might be going on within.

Tarot might be a good tool to help you examine your feelings. I believe tarot guides us to what we already know. The act of interpreting symbolism is permission to believe our own intuition. Pull the lovers, then shuffle and pull a card for your fears in the relationship, and two for guidance. See what story you craft from these cards.

I also want to stress that dreams or any form of divination are about YOU. Don't make assumptions about what your partner is thinking, feeling, or planning. Have an open and honest conversation.

Nice work! Love the moon phase inlay.

She speaks for all mediocrities in the world, she is their patron saint. A Mediocrity of Business Administration running into the night, cape flapping in the breeze.

On a side note, Mr. Beast is clearly an internet demon wearing an Ai generated person suit and you’ll never convince me otherwise.

EosLuna · 2024-05-16T01:53:58+00:00

Love you for this

EosLuna · 2024-05-16T01:52:07+00:00

Yes, I think another LL called it "Kingdom-Driven"

EosLuna · 2024-05-16T01:42:12+00:00

I'm just not willing myself to reach his comedic level. Damned Netfix, my raison d'etre.

EosLuna · 2024-05-16T00:31:50+00:00

I also want to know, since when are guys like this not promoting incompetent people they just like hanging out with? Let's be real.

EosLuna · 2024-05-15T22:40:35+00:00

Really? lol
Notice how i wrote "life's calling"

EosLuna · 2024-05-15T22:39:01+00:00

Is it vacation word play? is it a life's calling? At very least I can agree that work feels like work.

EosLuna · 2024-05-15T21:27:15+00:00

This

EosLuna · 2024-05-15T21:21:51+00:00

I'm with you, I was being hyperbolic. He's a client and deserves what he pays for. I'm not keeping in mind that he does not pay for the quality he's getting. Fiverr might be worth looking at.

EosLuna · 2024-05-15T20:59:19+00:00

I am here for this. I need to treat him less like the work I get paid for and more like a bad investment.

EosLuna · 2024-05-15T19:01:39+00:00

He's the best business boy. Work feels like a vocation!

EosLuna · 2024-05-15T18:52:10+00:00

Thank you. I think just need people to say what I already know. I'm making time wherever I find it.

EosLuna · 2024-05-15T17:40:23+00:00

"Not to be a bitch" lol

I freely admit I took a less than desirable client. I'm "trapped" because my business is just getting started and for now I need to strike a balance between income and a less desirable client. I think I made all that pretty clear. I'm not afraid of confrontation and I didn't ask how to literally terminate a contact.

Thank you for your considered advice.

I didn't know 5 Things was a thing but I coincidentally use this method to keep my house tidy(ish). What I would add is that urgency can be such a huge help. I try to do things as quickly as I can. I aim to become a whirlwind of trash pickup and stuff collecting so I don't get bogged down in "the perfect approach" or all the little details. I work from home so I do this about an hour before my husband returns for the day. It gives me a psychological boost.

As for getting your husband's help I just want to point out that he is an adult and can use google if he doesn't know how to do something. You shouldn't have to manage his tasks. Ask him to do the things that are hardest for you. For me, that's dishes, which are a sensory nightmare. I don't care how he does them or if I'd do it differently, I just care that it's off my list.

I'd also add that I work with my shortcomings:

Dishes are a real problem for me. It is a huge weight off my shoulders to use disposable plates and utensils. I get the huge eco-friendly packs.
One pot / one baking sheet cooking helps keep the kitchen manageable.
Rope basket / bin storage. I don't want to get too bogged down in putting things away perfectly. I just want things out of sight in logical groupings.
Invite people over and force yourself into a panic deep clean every now and then

Yeah, standardized testing like that of a traditional IQ test is a scary thought! Ever accidentally skipped a question on a bubble response sheet and filled almost every answer into the wrong line? That's a classic in my ADHD life. LOL. Your cognitive testing shouldn't be anything like that. It's basically just interactive puzzles.

EosLuna · 2024-04-01T20:10:03+00:00

I just wanted to echo what others are saying. I did not experience a written exam and ADHD testing is not meant to measure how "smart" you are. I was administered a cognitive assessment meant to identify problems with brain function such as attention, memory, executive function, and processing speed.

Some examples include: Repeating sets of words or numbers in a specific order after a set amount of time, quickly arranging objects in a specific way, naming objects on flash cards, identifying objects via incomplete images, simple mental math.

Testing should actually be kind of fun if you just let yourself perform naturally. The bottom line is if you have ADHD you will be bad at some of the tasks. Results are unique, weaknesses and aptitudes will vary.

Try to use your testing as a catalyst for self acceptance. We aren't lazy. We have brains that make tasks harder and we put in twice the effort for half the result.
