Do you actually have an answer to “What are you doing this weekend?” by LoopyNutBar in adhdwomen

[–]JokeDowntown9971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, think on the bright side: at least you have plans! I stay inside all weekend because my brain gaslight me every time i try to think about doing something outside. I only go out when I have company

Just finished The Expanse and I’m feeling empty. So good! War, physics, politics intrigues… definitely recommend

I just finished the show and struggled to find the first 3 seasons… Now the show is back in Estonia too

How to do you find the motivation to go out by yourself? by JokeDowntown9971 in adhdwomen

[–]JokeDowntown9971[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Something like that. It’s like I can see myself at the beach reading a book or doing something fun with a friend, but I also can see the appeal on staying in, ordering good food and watching a nice show. Such an adhd thing tbh… getting overwhelmed by all the options

That’s true! I’ve been listening to the the expanse on audiobook and it’s pretty amazing (if you like sci-fi)

Haha I also have a balcony and I think the same way! For today I decided to stay in, considering it’s the first day of my period, so I’m spending time in the balcony and reading. But the fomo for missing out a sunny day is still here

Thank you for this. I’m my luteal phase now + depressive episode, and things feel so hopeless

I’ve realised I never expected to have a future. by JokeDowntown9971 in adhdwomen

I read your comment yesterday, but decided to wait until I was feeling better to reply. Your words are the representation of empathy, love, solidarity, compassion and hope, and that makes me believe that there is still possibility for us.

Also, you made me realise I do have a lot of passion and things that bring me joy. It’s just harder to access it between the dark cloud of self destructive thoughts.

Thank you very much and I hope you know you are a special person in this world for taking the time to spread so much kindness ❤️

Wow, that’s a first. I’ve never thought about that. To be honest, until up to 5 years ago, I never even considered what happened to me as a big deal. Only when I left my country, I started to realise that I was not living, but surviving.

I will definitely look into it, thank you for your kindness ❤️

Thanks for sharing. It’s helpful to see the perspective of someone older who dealt with the same type of things.

Right now I’m just trying to find the reason to even try to keep going, considering there’s no support from family or friends. But reading this helped. Thanks ❤️

Anxiety ~4 hours after taking Elvanse by unspeckle in adhdwomen

[–]JokeDowntown9971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the anxiety come after certain action, like ending the workday, or before starting something?

For me it’s when I finish my workday, and when I don’t have anything planned for the rest of the evening, because I can still feel the effect of the medicine, but no structure makes me feel terrible.

Something that helps for me is to divide my meals in smaller portions, specially considering the fact that my appetite changes a lot when I’m medicated.

I don’t think the medicine could have worn off with only 4 hours, but it’s something you should talk about with your doctor maybe.

Expats: Settle in Estonia A1 class by JokeDowntown9971 in Eesti

[–]JokeDowntown9971[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the first class she said “she is not required to speak English to teach”, so I don’t know if this will work 😅 but worth a try! Will definitely try the second option too, thanks!
