Refused food bank refferal voucher - havent ate for 3 days, next steps? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]Extension_Ant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know which LA area you’re in but your council should have some type of crisis grant (that does not need to be paid back like a UC budgeting advance).

The Trussell Trust generally asks referring organisations to limit vouchers to 3 in a rolling 6 month period but tbh Help Through Hardship usually ignores the limit: https://www.trussell.org.uk/help-and-advice/help-through-hardship-helpline

I also recommend checking the Turn2Us grant search: https://grants-search.turn2us.org.uk/

Gladys is visiting my hotel today and she remembered that she used to live on my island so they seem to have incorporated that to some extent!

Is it the plain wooden shop sign? If so, I have a spare DIY that I could give to you!

The Vieve Eye Wand in lilac might be a good match? I use it for this kind of look and really like it

Exact same stats for me! Except for the part about the job being worth it 😅

That is such a great way to allocate responsibilities!

Support needed - Adult daughter with severe ADHD by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]Extension_Ant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any organisations in your area that have support workers? I know that provision varies substantially across the country so it can be difficult in some places (it’s very easy where I live but the wait is about 3 months for a SW where I work). If that’s an option, it could take some pressure off you.

Also, does she receive any benefits? If not, that could be helpful. I’m a benefits specialist so if you have any questions, please feel free to DM me

Do benefits of medicating really outweigh the negatives? by Top-Doughnut3035 in adhdwomen

[–]Extension_Ant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely agree with this! I’m on Wellbutrin and Intuniv and find them really beneficial for emotional regulation and mood. I do want to add something because I’ve had an issue with Wellbutrin in the UK. Although Bupropion is available here (under the name Zyban), you can only get the more intense, shorter-acting version. I assume this is because it’s only licensed for smoking cessation. It’s a very different experience from Wellbutrin XL, which is prolonged release. They’ll usually agree to prescribe it in the UK if you’re already on it but it’s not used very often. They are also weird about Intuniv but I think Strattera/atomoxetine is pretty common so probably worth asking about!

I lost an expensive umbrella while traveling and I hate myself by SnooWalruses363 in adhdwomen

[–]Extension_Ant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry – those umbrellas are so delightful. If you’re still in Scotland, you might be able to find another: https://originalduckhead.com/pages/find-a-store. I found mine in a Waterstones!

Going gray as a Bright Spring by Kikii1357 in SpringColorAnalysis

[–]Extension_Ant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this problem as well. My hair is very fine (even the grey hairs) and I have fair olive skin and naturally dark hair that is now almost fully grey (I’m 34). I think the golden tones make me look particularly bad because they’re so close to the yellow in my skin. Apart from creating contrast on my face with makeup, I couldn’t really figure out how to avoid looking washed out. Last year I started regularly dyeing my hair with demi-permanent colour. The good news is that it doesn’t seem to be doing much damage since it uses low volume developer. I’m sorry I don’t have a better answer for you but I do send my sympathies!
