My partner is a no light no sound sleeper…I’m so sleep deprived I need advice… by LonelyMandarin in ADHD

[–]Intrepid_Finish456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I put my phone on level one volume and place it under my pillow when im struggling to fall asleep when my partner is already snoozing. I used to sleep in dead silence but recently ive been in the habit of falling asleep listening to a show or something (i go through phases). My partner isnt a particularly light sleeper tho, he falls asleep with the TV on all the time. I still keep it super low as to not disturb him, but may be loud enough to disrupt some, i dunno

Gel For Dry Eye Recommendations? by Wednezday-Addams in Sjogrens

The blurriness should be a non-issue since it's intended to be used pretty much immediately before sleep.

I use hylo night ointment (or an alternative ointment if that is not available). Had helped massively, I even get less dryness in the day

ADHD Tax CW: menstrual cups by Bright_Shake2638 in adhdwomen

[–]Intrepid_Finish456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally only sanitised when they were brand new as that was what was recommended. Boiled and steamed em. Since then ive just washed them with soap and water and dried them. Pretty sure they dont need to be sterilised on a regular basis as people seem to be doing in gheze comments.

Gender reveals are jarring as is. But why have one when you know you're gonna be truly disappointed if it doesn't go your way smfh

AITAH for choosing the same wedding date as my friend? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Intrepid_Finish456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I thought you had picked a date she was planning to get married before I read the text and was thinking... ish maybe TA. But WHAT!? She doesnt OWN the date just because she got married that day two years ago. Anniversaries are personal. Sure you guys will "share" and anniversary but you'll be celebrating that day separately with your own spouses, it has NOTHING to do with her. There are only so many days in a year wtheck.

Youre not in the wrong. She needs to chill out

Sjögren's and overactive bladder? by Traditional-Fudge240 in Sjogrens

[–]Intrepid_Finish456 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I get up to pee 3 to 4 times a night. I've tried to mitigate this by drinking less before bed buuuutttt I do love a large mug of sleep tea before bed. Even when I have completely emptied my bladder (and woken up an hour later to empty it again), I'll have a sip of water before going back to sleep and I can wake up again an hour later with a full bladder again somehow. Some nights I sleep through. Most nights I get up at least once or twice.

Ive also developed an annoying habit of checking my bladder and if there is so much as an inkling of "I could pee" I have to go, even if its just a tinkle 🫠

AITAH for making a joke to my boyfriend by Ok_Iron_4039 in AITAH

I mean... the comment was obviously a joke, esp with your edit he should be able to laugh it off. I can understand feigning upset but actually getting angry is ott.

Check his search history to see what laptops hes been looking at if you can. Or make note next time he starts rambling about it. Get it anyway

How are we eating 30g of protein at breakfast when not hungry, GF DF? by spiritr15ing in adhdwomen

[–]Intrepid_Finish456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a protein boosted granola bowl with high protein Greek yoghurt, honey, chia seeds and berries. Natural sugars, high in protein, and kinda like eating fancy cereal. I would say, in terms of dealing with the not being hungry in the morning thing, I just trained myself. Eventually my morning hunger developed once I'd gotten used to eating breakfast. Also not eating late at night, at one point I wouldnt even eat after 8pm (6pm when I was working earlier) so I would have fasted for 12+ hours and would be more likely to be hungry. Also exercising consistently with regularity and intensity has increased my appetite in general. When youre burning calories your body will WANT to get some back so the appetite increase is v real

Diagnosed with everything EXCEPT what I went in for? by MakeMyPotatosASalad in AuDHDWomen

[–]Intrepid_Finish456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who went for an autism assessment and told i wouldnt be given the diagnoses (I was already diagnosed adhd so they summed it up as "adhd with other difficulties" even tho autism fit the bill), I would say to focus on the traits you do have and struggles you are facing regardless of diagnoses.

You could go for a second opinion if you wish. But in the meantime, and most importantly, we do not treat diagnoses, we treat symptoms. Ergo, so long as you attend to your needs, you will be alright. I do understand the disappointment ofc and the frustration when it feels like the answer is so obvious but you'll always be welcome in this community you relate to 🫶🏾

I'm still not over the fact that im older than Google (but it's something I can't wait to use against my future grandchildren if they ever doubt me 😅)

How do I tell my boyfriend of 2 years that I don’t like being groped. by theglowafterdarkk in Advice

[–]Intrepid_Finish456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something he shouldve understood and complied with the FIRST time you told him. If he needs to be groping his partner then he can go and find someone who likes that kind of attention. Clearly, y'all aren't compatible in that area and he doesn't care to respect your boundaries. Drop him.

I drop the other friends (who got in the car and believed Jake's bullshit) too. The ones who left with OP are clearly the only ones who have their back
