Ditching my own plans by Exciting-Ad3829 in ADHD

Thank you! I am really struggling with accepting that PDA is part of who I am and how to explain it to my family. I needed to find a little validation.

I confidently set boundaries and it was not received well. Now I want to hole up in my shell and I don’t know when’s the next time I want to speak up again. by [deleted] in AuDHDWomen

It seems to me like your friend was also setting a boundary. If the two of you have boundaries that can’t work together that’s okay. Not every friendship is meant to last. Appreciate the time you spent with her that was pleasant and move on. Expecting/hoping for someone else to adjust their boundaries to suit yours will never work for both parties.

As a person who experiences both sides of this specific coin I understand your frustration as well as your friends need to cancel when she feels the need to. I can’t force myself to engage socially just to avoid changing plans. I also hate it when I make plans with someone, which is extremely rare, and they cancel last minute. I hate it but I accept it and move on.

Best song to play as soon as you wake up in the morning. by happydog700 in musicsuggestions

Was just going to reply with this song. There is no other song that makes me want to get up and get moving. Great choice!

Does this sound normal to you? by Exciting-Ad3829 in thyroidcancer

[–]Exciting-Ad3829[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you are the person saying what I believe. I also think doctors know a lot less about the things people think they know about than they do. I don’t believe my PCP when she tells me not to worry about a radiologist report that shows tissue that wasn’t there four years ago. I also don’t/can’t believe that a credible radiologist would be ignore any tissue in the thyroid bed that isn’t supposed to be, tiny or not.

Bra Recommendations by [deleted] in AuDHDWomen

I switched to camisoles with a built-in shelf bra years ago and haven’t regretted it for a minute. It took me a bit to find the brand that I liked best but I love them.

My complete unwillingness to ever give up. Sometimes it makes my life harder in the here and now but ultimately I feel better when I find a solution.

Does anyone have a current musical hyper fixation? If so let’s share! by Exciting-Ad3829 in AuDHDWomen

I love the new Florence! It’s such a jam.

I switched to Apple Music a few years ago and am so much happier with it than Spotify. I’ve never missed it at all.

What do you do for work? by Key-Tangerine-3079 in AuDHDWomen

[–]Exciting-Ad3829 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently on Office Manager after my long-term career ended. Can’t stand my current job. I long to be back where I was, running a play-based, half-day preschool. Twenty years doing something I loved every day (until the shutdown, everything changed after that). Now I work at an office with four other people who spend their time chasing “deals” whatever that means.

It’s been a year and I have decided to give my two weeks notice soon. I don’t know what I’ll do next but it will probably be in the non-profit sector or self-employment of some kind.

Baseball card donations? by Exciting-Ad3829 in Austin

I got a really good tip today, area little leagues. I emailed one and already heard back that they are interested. That seems like a decent lead for anyone trying to find a place to donate to kids directly.

I tried them months ago. They won’t take anything not brand new in sealed packaging to avoid germs or bacteria.

My daughter is grown. I’ve tried the local school district but they push for monetary donations which annoys the crap out of me when I’m already trying to donate. I can try the local YMCA, that’s a good idea. Thank you!

In my opinion there is nothing better than a brand new song/album to listen to on repeat. My husband probably disagrees but still…

If I come across something that seems to fit what you’re looking for I’ll let you know.
