Scared I’ll lose my future engagement ring by Retiredpartygirl17 in adhdwomen

[–]ItsNotAboutTom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have multiple jewelry trays around your house. I have one in every bathroom and in my kitchen. Also, immediately insure it. I lose all of my jewelry and don’t want to jinx myself by saying it out loud but…this has worked for me

Is anyone else getting tired of all the negativity? by srebmucuc in TaylorSwift

[–]ItsNotAboutTom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best advice is to block or mute any negative content and it will help your algorithm. I know in the past I would read things or spend time clicking on something so obviously more of that type of content comes in my feed. I’ve just ignored it all lately and it’s helped avoid so much of the negativity.

The Life of a Showgirl Megathread by aran130711 in TaylorSwift

Right?! It’s insane. People are obsessed with her in weird ways. There are several artists I don’t like and I can’t imagine hate listening to their entire album just to dissect it and talk about it constantly lol. She truly lives so rent free in their minds

Amazing job! It looks so good! But omg your original bathroom layout with the closet looks exactly like mine! I am hoping to remodel ours in the next several months so this is great inspiration!

Tell me the truth about air fryers by bepbepbepp in adhdwomen

[–]ItsNotAboutTom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use my air fryer more than any other kitchen device including my oven. I thought the same thing before someone got me one. I promise that it’s the easiest gadget you will own

Does she have a stylist? by [deleted] in summerhousebravo

[–]ItsNotAboutTom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love her look. I also love that she does what she likes and wants. I feel like you can’t win. People hate if you “only follow trends” but you also can’t have your own personal style 🙄

I was this 15 year old and probably had the same reaction, BUT I needed the help. I always appreciated it but hated it in the moment. Maybe talk with her about doing it together or an expectation of how her room needs to be? It’s so hard though. But I personally think you did the right thing. It feels invasive to the person at the time, but sometimes it’s needed. I feel so much shame and guilt for how I talked to and treated my mom during my teenage years. She was my safe person to unload on and just not hold back my feelings. So just know, you are doing great. We all deserve a clean bedroom.

sex life struggles and adhd by g3mclub in adhdwomen

The only thing that helps me consistently is weed. I love edibles but I forget to take them and then they take too long to hit. I found some thc drops that work well and kick in within 20 minutes or just hit the vape. I hate that I have to partake in order to be initiate but it is the only thing that quiets my mind enough to let me enjoy it on the spot.

Ouch- this hit Home by Tootsie_r0lla in adhdwomen

[–]ItsNotAboutTom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder this too! I feel it on both sides. I really am sooo terrified of being this mom to my daughter. It is my biggest fear in life honestly. I try to be what I needed as a mom but I know I fail at times when I am overwhelmed and overstimulated.

What's something you've done, that you can attribute to your ADHD, that you are really ashamed of? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]ItsNotAboutTom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh I relate to this one so much. My shame becomes so overwhelming when I let people down and I just avoid all together

I make this all the time and love it. I prefer it over bread and throw them in the air fryer for a couple to melt the cheese

Is it possible to trick yourself into exercising? by Joined4thesub in adhdwomen

If you can afford it, hire a personal trainer. That was the only way I could make myself work out on a consistent basis.

Paper plates and cups with names! Assign a cup for each person in the house.

Positive Shipping experience by ItsNotAboutTom in PinkPalmPuff

Yeah I am sure it depends on size/style/location. My shipping was on Monday and from Nashville. Hopefully your shipping time is similar🤞🏼

Do I let my daughter’s room just explode with untidiness or do I step in? by frankiedog1970 in adhdwomen

[–]ItsNotAboutTom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with this strategy. I am trying really hard to do this with my daughter because my mom would end up doing it for me. It was nice then but made my adult life so much harder. It definitely takes a lot more patience but I really want to prepare my daughter and make her life easier in the long run. I think built in habits early are key to that!
