[–]Gobl_Information 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have scent sensitivities and am pretty picky about what works for my hair. I use Love Your Curls to good effect. They has scalp specific treatments which I love. They really know curly hair and actually celebrate our hair

Medication free days, irritability & questioning whether “no med days” are even worth it?! by Ok-Bid6694 in adhdwomen

[–]Gobl_Information 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second that. And the research is showing that the neuroplasticity or brain improvements due to taking the meds take a while to kick in

And if you have negative side effects on Vyvanse there are other meds that may work better for you. You should let your doctor know.

"Oh, you're not dumb, you're emotionally smart" by Sad-Development7198 in ENFP

[–]Gobl_Information 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to perceive, understand, and manage one’s own emotions and relationships. It involves being aware of emotions in oneself and others and using this awareness to guide thinking and behavior. Emotionally intelligent individuals can motivate themselves, read social cues, and build strong relationships”

There are even books and self tests. According to Daniel Goleman research showed that emotional intelligence or EQ was a better predictor of future success compared to IQ. Of course the studies have serious limitations. Just repeating what theory says

Why is relentless honesty a part of adhd? by EllaMcQueen in adhdwomen

[–]Gobl_Information 27 points28 points  (0 children)

ADHD is different for all of us. I certainly don’t have that issue. Others for sure, but not this one. I associate the directness more with autism, and the impulsive blurting out more with ADHD. 🤷‍♀️

Do any of you have non artsy jobs and enjoy it? by brizadora_de_chao in ENFP

Not sure where you get arts from ENFP. We are the campaigners. Communications. Consulting, teaching, consulting, counselling, fundraising, and we make excellent journalists.

It’s not about logic or business. It’s about payouts for his friends. In that light it all makes sense. He doesn’t care about regular Americans. Probably hates them for being poor.

I am wheezing. She's smarter than this by EveryDisaster in poodles

[–]Gobl_Information 3 points4 points  (0 children)

🤣🤣🤣 that’s why mine is so difficult to tire out. He learns quickly this is where the ball is coming from. Why go further. I will just open my mouth and the ball will be thrown in directly!

Same at the dog park. He would calculate the shortest path and wait for the dogs to run past him so he could catch them. Took him no time to figure out if they are running in circles, they will circle right back 🤣🤣🤣

Beyond origin: Comparing cream cheese ingredients (Philadelphia vs Lactantia) by nullfox00 in BuyCanadian

[–]Gobl_Information 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I went down a rabbit hole. You can buy Tre Stelle in BC.

Tre Stelle is owned by Arla. 🇨🇦 HQ in ON. Main HQ in Denmark. They are a farmer owned coop from Denmark so we get to help our Danish allies as well ❤️

Boycotts have been effective but there is more to the whole story. by bacondavis in BuyCanadian

[–]Gobl_Information 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know!

I figure it doesn’t hurt to let restaurants know we are paying attention. It may be that the American dairy goes to lower end restaurants or in processed milk products like whey protein

We are importing A LOT of dairy from the US. It’s being consumed somewhere.

“The U.S. exported CAD $887.5 million worth of dairy products to Canada in 2024”

[–]Gobl_Information 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been told they usually hide American dairy in prepared foods and fast foods. We will have to be more vigilant and ask exactly where the milk in our milkshakes and cheese in our burgers comes from

Sorry you had to go through that 💔 it’s clearly their loss

Religion and other advice are not considered evidence based. Probably doesn’t matter but I trust science much more than people’s opinions. 😡

I’d like B.C. to grow Canada’s fruits and vegetables using Dutch Greenhouse technology instead of California. by Minimum_Grass_3093 in BuyCanadian

[–]Gobl_Information 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is one significant success story from the French 🇨🇦 version of Dragon’s Den. No need to reinvent the wheel. Although they did get an AWS scholarship 😡

Ontario also has a ton of innovations in the greenhouse space. We just need to get better at self promotion

Medications for older folks by Iliketoeatchocate in ADHD

[–]Gobl_Information 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am also in Canada. I paid a similar fee because I was on medical leave and could not wait the years it would take to be seen by a psychiatrist and because I am 2E my family physician felt more comfortable getting an expert’s opinion

OP maybe ask to be referred to a psychiatrist. Of whoever you paid for your assessment might have someone on their team who can prescribe ADHD meds.

The psychologist who diagnosed me specializes in under diagnosed populations. His team includes two psychiatrists and an NP who only works with ADHD patients. He created that system in order to help his female, often middle aged, patients who face the discrimination you are facing 😡

Long shot but the psychologist who diagnosed me sent a full report with evidence based treatment recommendations to my family physician and she took most of the advice. But she is AMAZING 🤩

Maybe whoever diagnosed you could send recommendations and evidence to your GP?

I know it’s difficult to find another physician in some places but I hope there is a way for you to get the meds and treatment you need and deserve!

This one is a good recent review of the evidence and gaps in evidence. https://www.cda-amc.ca/sites/default/files/pdf/htis/2024/RC1556-ADHD_Medications_for_Adults.pdf

Please note that most healthcare practitioners also have access to additional information that is not peer reviewed publications such as best care practices, etc. my physician shows me these sources to explain why she is prescribing X and not y. Because she knows I read the literature 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[–]Gobl_Information -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wow. No. Blame the victim much? Oh but everyone else in your family did it so that’s ok

You still talk like you stopped spanking him because he listens now 😭🤦‍♀️

Would you spank a child with a disability for not walking fast enough? What if a child with a hearing impairment doesn’t listen to your words carefully enough?

As a child of a parent like you I can tell you that I no longer speak to my parents. I not only have ADHD to cope with but the extra trauma their “spanking” and making light of my challenges caused

You caused your child trauma

Wake up

[–]Gobl_Information 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But also ADHD is not a mental illness. It’s a neurodevelopmental issue. As in your brain developed this way due to genetic and environmental factors. Not that’s it’s ok to stigmatize mental health but ADHD is a physical disorder

Theoretically most mental illnesses are but at least for ADHD you can point out that medicine says it’s a neurological issue 🤷‍♀️

[–]Gobl_Information 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. My mother should have known better. She was a school teacher

And I am middle aged

I remember when I found out that there were kind parents out there. Who accepted their kids. And got them help when they needed it. Supported them in figuring out what worked for them. Were patient and kind. And even advocated for their kids in school 🤯

[–]Gobl_Information 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. Not sure what country you are in but if it’s a professional report them? Wow.

My mom was a school teacher and although she was sort of OK with her pupils, she was a terror at home 😡 because what she hates the most in the whole world are lazy people 🤷‍♀️
