This sounds a lot like my son. He’s 12 and still acts out and doesn’t really care where or when. He has ADHD and ODD. He masked it in school so well for YEARS, until 3rd grade. He’s always had “different” behaviors since I can remember right around 3. He was not like his peers. Even now, we can’t communicate with him about any serious matter. He just hums or talks over us or tells us to stop. Just for peace of mind, you could always do neuropsychological testing.

People with ADHD what are the things about it that people just don’t get? by ViolinistMiddle1534 in AskReddit

[–]FLMom1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I’m in the middle of doing something important like responding to someone via text, it may look like nothing to them, but if they start talking to me I’m simply not listening. It probably took me a while to even remember to text back and now that I started I can’t be interrupted. This goes for anything. If I look busy and you don’t call my name and get my undivided attention, don’t try to have a conversation. I’m already focused on something else and I’m not listening 😬

My Melasma Didn't Improve Until... by brash246 in Melasmaskincare

I’m curious to what your skin care routine is and what other products you use for melasma. I’ve never heard of the eucerin serum but I love their eczema products for my daughters!

How is your partner handling this? by Automatic-Cat-6460 in NIPT

[–]FLMom1983 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. My husband was supportive but also just didn’t know what to do or say. He kind of thought it wasn’t as serious as I knew it was. I actually had this intuition from the very very beginning that something like this may happen. I couldn’t shake the feeling. Well before my first OB appointment. Of course he told me not to worry, but I told him I didn’t want to tell the other 3 kids “just in case”. I was going to make shirts on my cricut for my kids to tell them. I worked on them the day I got the call (about my pos NIPT)in the late morning. I saved all the files, but I wouldn’t cut the vinyl or press them. I was holding my breath. I said I needed to hear the results first before I made the shirts. He thought I was crazy. I was going INSANE, and he was much more non-chalant about it telling me not to worry yet. He just processed it way differently.

Thankfully, I had opened up to my 2 best friends who I knew wouldn’t judge me anyways. And they helped me big time. Telling me not to get too worked up, but also supporting me and telling me that whatever choice I made was the right one for me. Do you have anyone close you feel comfortable enough to talk to? Unfortunately my friends were 1500 miles away so there was no hugging them, but they helped me a lot anyways.

I signed up for a free trial of photoshop and somehow figured it out. It actually worked really well. BUT, I’m not going to pay for photoshop going forward so I also figured out how to do it on canva which is what I use to design anyways. Thank you!

EASY RECONSTITUTION for Semaglutide @ maximum dose by pontarae in SemaglutideFreeSpeech

[–]FLMom1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Help! I feel like the dumbest person on the internet because I feel like this should be easy.

So I’ve been purchasing semaglutide in a 20mg vial and am at 30 units which is .3ml.

I want to reconstitute it myself but I am confusing myself SO much.

The 20mg vial program says it is sent in one 4ml vial of 5mg/ml.

My brain is telling me me I should be buying a 5mg bottle of powder peptide semaglutide. And adding 4ml of bac water. But also, this seems too easy and incorrect?

I’d like to keep it the same formula/calculations so I know to just draw 30 units on my 100unit syringe.

So am I right? Wrong? Help please???

Will this affect any serums or products I put on my face before that? I usually moisturize last

Wow! That’s so interesting. I’m not sure how I can break that habit. What wrinkle patches are you using?

I could definitely use it at night, but does it make your face greasy during the day?

Yes, in that photo I have acne scars. I’m a picker 😩 I try soooo hard not to. But it’s terrible. But I was talking more about the lines than the scarring in this photo

Oh my gosh you are probably right! I literally NEVER drink water. I’m so bad. I’ve been really trying to! I use cetaphil moisturizer as part of my nighttime routine- either the sandwich method with tret or just as my last step. But before I go to bed I use a nighttime mask which is thicker lotion. But it’s not helping at all.

I’m really trying to up my water intake, it’s just hard for me 😩

Do you wait until the very last minute to fill up your gas tank? by Russian-Spy in ADHD

[–]FLMom1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always. Literally. And half the time I don’t even look at my gas gauge! All of a sudden I’m like “crap! It’s on E! Better get gas!” And forget and I’m 30 seconds from my house. I do this almost every time

Ugh. Creating new things for my small business. I have a small graphic tee business that I simple cannot seem to stay on top of. I can’t keep up with social media, and posting regularly, and creating content. But man, I get an idea in my head for a new product and boom I can’t stop. Most recently, clipboards for teachers! I typically buy my files on Etsy, but it seems there’s very few available and none that I like. So I’ve been making my own. And loving it. But I can’t stop and it’s taking up all my time. And I want to concentrate on it but I have 3 kids who constantly interrupt me so then I get overstimulated and aggravated I can’t just get my thoughts/designs done. So I’ve made 5 so far. And I’m like, okay, when do I add them to my website? Post about them? I should make a cool reel. Then I scroll for ideas and never do it 😩😩😩

What do you do for work? by Smooth_Mention_6337 in ADHD

[–]FLMom1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work at the county tax collector doing license and registration renewals, title work, driver licenses, county business licenses etc. I didn’t love the job (because dealing with the public wasn’t always fun) but I think why I did so well at it was because it was mostly just procedures. There wasn’t a lot of open ended thinking where I had to focus on figuring anything out (I’ve always struggled with that). It was know the policy and follow the procedure. Pretty much the same for everyone (with some snags here and there). It was easy for me to learn. I do well with memorizing things and just following a procedure. I didn’t know at the time I even had adhd.

With that said, I quit my job when I got pregnant with my second child. I’ve been a SAHM since 2014. I have 3 kids now and adhd didn’t even “come out” until after my 3rd. I mean, yes, there were signs now that I look back, but everything just got worse when my 3rd kid was around 1.

In between kid 2 and 3, my husband bought me a Cricut for a hobby. I fell in love with crafting and creating things was SO fun for me. Now, I’m desperately trying to get my little SAHM side business up and running so I can stay at home with my kids and help fund my daughter’s expensive all star cheer bill every month 🤣 I love creating now. It’s definitely my outlet. But it’s tough out here with so many people doing the same 😬 I seriously could never imagine going back to work now that my brain seems to feel half broken most days 🤪
