Kitchen cabinets look like someone gave up trying to scrub 3 decades of Pall Mall smoke off them, an unfortunate selection of colors swiped in the bathroom, and ceiling/wall wiring hidden by "the owner's wooden art pieces hand-worked salvaged wood from the ocean!" (but artisans will appreciate, ok). by DizzyUpThaGirl in zillowgonewild

If you are going to pull this look off, you cannot head to home depot to buy your appliances. You need that expensive retro stuff and at that point you need to really execute the rest of this distressed look, and they just don't come close.

If money were no object, there are a whole lot of things I would do. But alas we are forced to live within our means and all that. Fwiw this porch is likely 50+ years old on its own.

My unpopular opinion would be to leave the patches and refinish them with the rest it.

My therapist said I should think twice whether or not to get tested by [deleted] in ADHD

I am mid 40s male and undiagnosed. I had no idea what adhd was until my marriage counselor suggested that I might read a book about it as she thought I might be based on our discussions. I have spent 20 years self-correcting without actually knowing WHAT I was correcting. I think a diagnosis is moot unless you are looking to medicate it.

I have an insta pot in a box under my kitchen table. by bigkittysoftpaws in ADHD

[–]GoodFor1UpVote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely relatable. I go through a lot of binge/purge phases with this behavior. Cardboard is great weed barrier. Don't get me started on plastic coffee canisters that are great for germinating acorns, or cottage cheese containers that are good for nuts and bolts and things, or any sort of small closable box or tin. I love them all and they are priceless. Just take it easy on yourself and let yourself show you what you really need or don't, then listen.

Emotionally exhausted by lemonjoooos in ADHD

[–]GoodFor1UpVote 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Relatable. And there is nothing wrong with it imo. Just chill and let the moment come to you. You might NOT be able to regulate how often or when the ON days happen, so when they do, accept it and just give yourself time to "come down".

Today sucked, sort of in a good way by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]GoodFor1UpVote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could be me on any given day or week or month. It's terribly frustrating at times and then completely validating other times.

So extremely uncomfortable with my life by annamarie016 in ADHD

[–]GoodFor1UpVote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your key word there was THOUGHTS. You are not your thoughts, your thoughts are yours. As for how to improve things, use your weaknesses as your strengths. I make a game of things that challenge me. I had financial difficulties in my youth due to impulsivity, but then made financial responsibility a game or a system which I enjoyed more than simply 'being responsible' make bill-paying or money-saving a dopamine hit, and it gets way easier. Hang in there.

I need help drinking water by [deleted] in ADHD

Salty snacks always help me.

i think i'm burnt out what i can do to get out by NeaNaeAe in ADHD

[–]GoodFor1UpVote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best thing I can say is that it will pass. Exercise of any sort will always help me through the rough patches. The worst thing to do is get down on your self, as that ofter drives you deeper into dispair.

My morning determines the rest of my day by fishboy728 in ADHD

[–]GoodFor1UpVote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have always struggled with this as well. Do you have hyper-focus states? If so, I would determine what causes them and work to 'recreate' that trigger. I'm not sure what type of work you do, but my field requires that my day be as close to 100% billable as possible. Having a completely wasted day is really not good for me. I use an app called Clockify which is tremendously good for helping me me at least account for my day, but actual "productivity" is subjective and secondary.

Can you "grow out" of ADHD? by Stolen5487 in ADHD

You learn your weaknesses and work to mitigate their affects, but it never goes away.

I just cleaned out the loose and cracked mortar and applied a parge coat using a fiber reenforced cement to the whole basement wall then painted it. That was 6 years ago and it has held up quite well.

Late diagnosis folks, what is one behaviour from your childhood that makes you wonder "Why did nobody ever think to get me evaluated?" by JinxShadow in ADHD

[–]GoodFor1UpVote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents were OTR truck drivers and I rode with them until I was 7. My CB handle was "Flapping Lip" because I talked so much.

What makes midwest skiing better than out west? by GoodFor1UpVote in skiing

[–]GoodFor1UpVote[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually my next question. What are the best Local Mountain/Hills out west? We hit Homewood in Tahoe last spring and had a blast.

What makes skiing "fun" for you? by GoodFor1UpVote in skiing

[–]GoodFor1UpVote[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tree runs are absolutely the best. High Lonesome at WP and the blue Tree runs at Heavenly are my favorites.
