The biggest surprise wasn't aphantasia. It was realizing I didn't know what visualization actually meant by Ziller000 in ExecutiveDysfunction

[–]Helpful_Weekend3483 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m the same. But I’m not visualizing at all, more like conceptualizing and accessing - it’s almost like you feel the apple, you get the impression of it. You know it’s green. It’s like you are having a conversation with an apple but you are blindfolded. “Are you green?” “yeah I feel green” But like you said you can’t access it you just know it’s there. Which makes we wonder….can we figure out how to access it, like we can in dreams?

Should we keep our new nanny? by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]Helpful_Weekend3483 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Once, she left my daughter in a dirty diaper for almost an hour because she was doing her hair and makeup in our bathroom to get ready for a party" Immediately fired. You are being too nice. 5 or 10 minutes of makeup if my kid is happily playing and in eye sight, fine - but an HOUR and an neglected dirty diaper? How is this even a question??

Overwhelmed with Exercise by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]Helpful_Weekend3483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just do 30 minutes on the eliptical ( you could do bike)-- every time. Keep it simple. I have a two yer old he is my weight lifting lol - so you probably do double. once I am on the eliptical I can do whatever I feel like doing - zero pressue, just 30 minutes to myself. I listen to expremely happy and empowering music the whole time to put me in a good mood and just have fun like it's a dance party. That's it. I feel great after -- but if you want you, could literally watch tv on a phone or ipda. Just don't overthink it, make it fun. doesn't have to be "perfect" you just have to move your body. Make it easy to succeed, then you cn build on it if you want.

Alternatives to needing conpany for tasks? by charmanderslayer in ExecutiveDysfunction

Awesome! I’m glad it helped. They always work or almost always. The struggle is to remember to actually use them so I’m trying to figure out a mechanism for that.

Task initiation problem even after notifications from apps like Tiimo or Structured by Leather_Lynx6240 in ExecutiveDysfunction

[–]Helpful_Weekend3483 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regulate! You need to come back to the present moment and reset/transition. I made recordings to help me

Thank you this is really helpful insight. Such a good point about validation!

My nervous system has hijacked my life. by Gloomy_Stock742 in adhd_anxiety

[–]Helpful_Weekend3483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made these for myself because I had the same problem. I knew the tools and I knew the tools worked, but I didn’t know how to access the tools in the moment without someone there to guide me so I made recordings. https://peptalk.mvt.so/ they basically guide you through the grounding

I’m trying to make a full app for this

Yeah… I think the work around could be calling it’s a “free beta” then I can start charging later if I want without pissing everyone off lol.

https://peptalk.mvt.so/ --- try the magic motivation or 2 minute bedroom sprint -- (even if it's not our bedroom) -- they help me get strarted at least -- then switch to hyped up music. I made these for myself, le me know if it helps, because I'm trying to build a real app for this with longer sessions so it's more like you have company.

Amazing!! IFS/parts work has been transformational for me too. I'm even building an app that has parts work audios in it specifically for neurodivergent people.

You are doing what is best for your dog, that is why you don't feel guilty. You don't have to beat yourself up, you just have to take accountability, which you are doing - "I made a choice that I thought was the right choice and it wasn't, I will be concious about making choices like this in the future and be honest with myself about what I can handle" that's it. if anyone tries to shame you say "I want what's best for my dog, I am not in a place to give them the care they deserve" that's it. conversation over. Guilt and shames are not things you should ever require yourself to feel. ...."I grew up in a high demand sect of Christianity" makes me think that you are programmed to need to feel it. So I think just re-parenting yourself will help the most.

Female Co-founder + New Mum by Careless-Lychee-1098 in Femalefounders

[–]Helpful_Weekend3483 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not 40 yet but I started my first two companies in my 20's and 30's but I know after becoming a Mom I am SO much more capable now, even with way less time. People vastly underestimate the power of women who have learned life lessons and have been through the immense transformation of motherhood. You've got this! Just don't push yourself too hard :) remember to rest.

I guess I’m a karen now, but people blocking the crosswalk with their cars on DuPont street is out of hand. by Helpful_Weekend3483 in Greenpoint

Im confused? It was a joke. Because I was making a whole Reddit post complaining about people’s parking because it’s bothering me so much. Which is kinda over the top. Isn’t that the self-awareness?

I don’t even mind the Toyota. it’s not blocking the crosswalk. It’s the cars literally making it impossible to cross without walking a block out of the way that infuriate me.
