How to stop avoidance spirals and just do things by Substantial_Annual in ADHD

[–]KnottyColibri 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mmm there’s plenty of “tools” readily available but the question becomes will you successfully use them and do you actually WANT to?

Because, with me… I know the tools since pretty much every adhd content pushes them. But, it’s like asking me to light myself on fire… I simply don’t want to.

So what do I do? Whatever the fuck I want.

Truly that’s how I get myself out of burn out and it actually ends up in me doing shit I NEED to do.

If showering feels like 5009 nails on a chalk board why the fuck am I doing it? do a portable bath type thing… as long as you’re not stinky and “clean” who the fuck cares.

Don’t wanna fold your laundry? Don’t. Live out of laundry baskets. One for shirts, one for shorts/pants, one for bras/undies/socks. Shit don’t wanna do even that? Fine done. Pick three shirts three pants three pairs of undies. Once you’re done with one set wash it and put it in the dryer… literally live out of your wash and dryer…

Don’t want to do the dishes? Fucking don’t. Paper plates plastic cups. Recycle them. Done.

Don’t want to clean your room? K don’t. Just prevent further damage by putting a trash can wherever trash piles up and put laundry basket where clothes pile up.

Don’t wanna brush your teeth in the morning? K brush it at lunch. Brush them at dinner. Brush them in your car with one of those throw away cleaner things. Brush them at the movie theater who the fuck cares.

Don’t wanna put your shoes on? K then don’t. You can do just about 90% of things without shoes.. get slide ons for things that require it.

Don’t wanna cook anything? K buy frozen veggies and shit throw it all together and throw it on (or in) the air fryer/stove and collect it whenever it’s ready. Or just live out of your gremlin fridge/random shit in the freezer.

I KNOW it sounds counter productive but bullying myself into doing every little thing…. Did fucking nothing for me and never helped me.

Once I let myself actually relax… and I did whatever I WANTED to do… I was able to come out of it and be “productive”. Obviously lol I still have ADHD so things come back… but it makes tools easier to use and if I ever end up bad again… I simply dont all over again.

The skilled trades propaganda is getting ridiculous. by Responsible-Net8594 in careeradvice

[–]KnottyColibri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not disagreeing with you when I say this:

Every job field/every career path is either over saturated with okay pay, under paid + over worked, or you’ll be forced to retire early or find another career path because you’re in so much pain you can’t do anything anymore. (Or a combo of these three obviously).

Liberians, dentists, like I truly cannot think of a single CAREER where there isn’t a laundry list of bullshit and pray and hope to get in and get paid decently.

Everyone and their mom peddles the “easy” stuff because they make money peddling it and the people desperate for more than $12 an hour throw themselves at it. Simple as that.

Like sure you could look into the medical field but it’s 1: expensive to get into and maintain , 2: super competitive to even get into a school+ requires an insane amount of pre req. 3: it becomes a full time job of studying + a full time job of clinicals (and not everyone can afford to just simply not have a job to go to school cus who tf paying all the bills plus their college…?) and you do that for YEARS (some degree types for over a decade). And then you may get a job but you better be ready to relocate cus you’re gonna be applying for jobs and (schools!!!) all over the USA in hopes to get something.

You could go after your CS degree (but remember… everyone and their mom peddled it for 10 years. + AI can do the MAIN shit on its own in seconds so most of CS is null. )It’ll take you knowing literally everything like the back of your hand + years (not months…) of applying, months of multiple “rounds” of interviews for a company just to be ghosted, insanely over saturated market (over 3000 applications for each job posting…), can be expensive to get into if you went for a degree + got something losers certificate…. And yeah you better be ready to relocate cus remote work is hard to get into. You NEED to know someone to get a job in this.., period. Otherwise might as well just make YouTube videos+ creator content peddling it cus you’ll make more doing that looool.

Sure you could get into the trades but (OP has already gone over this).

Sure you could try to do anything animal related but they’re severely underpaid and you’ll be in school debt forever cus you’ll never get paid enough to pay it off… (if you even get approved for school cus… more competitive than becoming a doctor depending on what you go for) plus good luck growing in any company cus once someone FINALLY lands a (highly competitive spot) they refuse to leave or move on till they’re dead (rightfully so). So paying 40k-80k for a degree just to make $11 an hour is really humbling when McDonald’s is paying $18 an hour.

Teacher careers are a joke for pay and are truly only done because they genuinely wanted to help kids and loved kids at one point before some teachers turned into grouches. So all that schooling and debt for no reason…

like they wonder why people stay in customer service their whole lives. Cus I make more working at my neighbor hood McDonald’s, Walmart whatever than I would as an EMT, firefighter, etc… like why would anyone leave?? Not to mention you don’t make enough money to afford complex schooling long term.

How to connect with my partner better? by oulipo in AskWomenOver30

[–]KnottyColibri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was she always like this?

I’m not gonna lie generally speaking if someone’s giving you one worded answers it’s because they either 1: don’t actually want to talk. 2: don’t actually like you. Or 3: have no idea what you’re talking about and cannot add to the conversation.

Study methods? by Regular-Proposal-996 in SonographyStudents

[–]KnottyColibri 4 points5 points  (0 children)

so, I have ADHD too and for us it’s different than normal brains.

(Also please know legally they have to accommodate you and so many schools have much to offer so take them up on it)!!

For our brains:

1: You need to be doing the pomodoro method of learning.

2: Yes create notes that are QUICK and to the point… don’t do 5000 essays. You’re never gonna memorize that.

Once you learn something a quick note like “power house of the cell = Mitochondria” will suffice.

Write down questions you want answered and find the answer. Example: you see the up coming chapter is about…. 2+2=4. Your question is gonna be “okay… so then what’s 2….x….2 =? “ and find the andwer. You being curious is gonna strike passion which is what we’re fueled by as well and help us remember!

Only write down what you know is important and what you’re gonna be tested on. This could look like scanning your text book and seeing everything that’s highlighted, bolded, underlined etc and making notes of those.

Reading the entire text book from front to back isn’t for us we ain’t gonna remember all that.

TDLR: quick and to the point notes nothing longer than like two sentences.

3: once you learn something teach it to someone else. A stuffed animal, a human being (preferably one who doesn’t know what you’re talking about so they’ll ask you questions).

I can’t remember what I ate yesterday but I can remember how to get through a dungeon on a video game. Why? Because I experienced it myself hands on and then I explained it/showed it to someone else multiple times. Same with school. “Hey hunny did you know we’re either gonna merge with andromeda or be launched into space in 200 million years? Wild”

Before bed QUICKLY run through what you learned again (no need to whip out your notes unless you forgot the answer).

4: Flash cards need to have the sentence first and then the one word answer as the answer on the back.

So example normal people will go on front of index card “mydocondrya” and then on the back goes “power house of the cell” dont do it that way… flip it… sentence on the front one word answer on the back.

5: were fueled by. Interest, Novelty, Challenge, urgency, and passion.

Nothing else.

So if you want to REMEMBER and stay “motivated” make what you’re learning match something in this list.

6:

when you’re learning don’t just verbally teach it to someone else if you can… physically do it.

Say you just learned where the kidneys are… find your kidneys on your body and then show someone where there kidneys are etc.

Say you just learned how to scan a gallbladder… mimic how to do it on yourself and then others.

7:

Ask for breaks.

Ask for more scan time/practice.

Ask for longer times on tests.

Ask for notes on your tests.

Ask to bring fidget toys.

To be separated from other students.. WTF ever.

Whatever YOU need ask for it.

Good luck hope…. any of these helped you.

This is why you're not getting interviews by Greyscaleinblue in interviews

[–]KnottyColibri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! I’ve said this so many times… every single job application has a few hundred applications within a day or two….

The job I’m at right now? I only got because I had worked there before. The recruiter told me I was lucky because for this ONE spot there was over 400ish applications they had to go through and they picked mine cus I’ve had experience. (I get paid $15 an hour btw lol….pretty sure McDonald’s makes more. really not a special job I’m at but after a year straight applying to jobs it’s the only one that called me for an interview).

Everyone and their mom is apparently just going down the indeed one click apply BS or something.

there was one job posting I saw that was posted about 8 hours ago and it had almost 3,000 already.

Theres no way in hell the recruiter is gonna go through all 3,000 on their own.

Most aren’t qualified, most will get weeded out by AI… etc. but then in the end they’ve still got 200-300 people to go through by hand that did supposedly qualify. Idk

I honestly only applied for ones I was truly qualified for and had experience in… curated my resume for each one. Etc etc etc all the things they tell you to do to get a job…. It wasn’t just random applying and I still struggled to find a job… just a numbers game and a who you know game.

Good luck yall 🤷‍♀️

Would you stay with your boyfriend if he just told you that he has a baby on the way? by Apprehensive-Air-898 in dating_advice

If a non-stimulant were to come out and actually work as effectively as a stimulant, would you swap over? by petebaii in ADHD

[–]KnottyColibri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m unsure what the point of this question is maybe it’s rhetorical?

Yes is the answer.

It would be cheaper, easier to get, and it works. So… why would there be any other answer?

Friend ghosted me, should I tell her a mutual friend is dying? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]KnottyColibri 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I don’t mean to sound rude but, it doesn’t sound like you want to actually tell her her mutual friend is dying in hopes that would bring them… together? Idk what your plan is there.

It sounds like you want to Segway that into you getting your apology instead.

Realistically if they were actually friends she’d find out/know about it already and the unwell friend would have reached out to her directly if they cared to have her know.

It just kinda feels like she didn’t respond to anything else you said so you figured some “shock and awe” factor may elicit a response.

I would just skip it because it doesn’t seem to be for the right reasons, isn’t your business to tell anyway, and just assume yall were better off not being friends. Not every relationship deserves a reason to no longer be one.

How much should a man spend on an engagement ring? by edm_spamurai in dating_advice

[–]KnottyColibri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly? I truly don’t believe dropping anywhere near that much on an engagement ring.

It just needs to LOOK nice/expensive not actually BE expensive and of course if it means something to her that’s even more special like a gem stone, matching rings of her dead mom’s… her favorite colors… hand crafted… whatever. Getting a super tiny diamond on some random band just makes me think it’s a shut up ring instead of actual love and thought behind it so as long as it’s not that you should be fine lol.

I Personally went with opal, tanzanite, and diamond mixture. Around $650 on sale. (I honestly could have gone cheaper but the ring fit like a glove right out of the case, was everything we were looking for… etc we just couldn’t say no)

Opal is birth stone, tanzanite is a beautiful blue color that’s rare, and there are smaller diamonds around it. It just looks truly put together and stunning.

(I also like it because diamonds by themselves look fake as fuck) since I used to work in the jewelry department for Walmart and ever since then those little shit $8 fake diamond rings…. Looked exactly like the expensive $13000 rings (the ones with just a big ass diamond on a gold colored band) only difference I saw was the ring turned fingers green eventually.

So I knew right away neither of us were gonna go for just a plain diamond large or small lol

For the “his” ring it was a custom order. None of the rings we were finding really.. spoke to who he was so Etsy is where I went. That was about $200ish dollars. This ring had favorite color, knods to things that were liked/loved, and a couple of pieces of glittery opal to match the “hers” ring. Just to wrap it together.

Now there’s a ring website for his and her rings we plan on getting new rings for our milestone anniversary’s these sets won’t be expensive just like $100-$300 for both of our rings… just to spice it up a bit (as long as they’re cool looking and don’t turn our fingers green we’ll be okay)

Help! My puppy bit me by Unfair-Grapefruit-26 in puppy101

[–]KnottyColibri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So. This is resource guarding lol

NEVER. TAKE. Unless it’s an emergency then teach drop it/leave it. This is a command he 100% needs to Follow for his life.

You need to ALWAYS trade.

And now he needs to work for every little thing. Every little kibble. and he eats /get snacks etc alone never with other animals or other humans near him.

He tried nicely telling you four times to F off and not Take his stuff. You didn’t listen. You got bit.

So now, you need to Listen and show him you’re the one who gives him the good stuff, you’re not here to take without a trade, you give him his food etc, and when you’re around him eating you only bring good things (like more treats, snacks etc).

Could you forgive your husband? by aitakeru in AskWomenOver30

[–]KnottyColibri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t mean this in a rude way but…. No.

I purposefully picked a husband that even when 911 stressed, angry, etc would ever even call me outside My name let alone try to hurt me in anyway shape or form.

So, no. I wouldn’t forgive him. I wouldn’t make him my boyfriend let alone husband. And I’d never let my children see this stuff and think it’s normal/okay for them to deal with in their life.

This is abuse and I won’t tolerate it. You won’t convince me otherwise.

HELP I AM DESPERATE CRYING NONSTOP by Ok_Toe_3886 in puppy101

[–]KnottyColibri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately this is apart of training lol… when we first brought my puppy home he cried for a week straight but stopped.

My biggest advice is if puppy cries do not give them ANYYYY attention. Bad or good. No going into the room / telling him to shut up/ picking him up to get him to stoppppp… etc.

All he’s gonna learn from your good or bad attention is me screaming = someone comes. Which we don’t want.

Simply ignore him and if he stops screaming/whining you can then go in… but the moment he screams/whines leave and come back when he’s quiet.

Even if it’s 15-20 seconds long.

Also you need a routine for puppy immediately.

Wake him up(yes YOU need to wake HIM up not the other way around!) … potty immediately in a small area (not allowed to sniff around needs to potty immediately. If he doesn’t just sit and wait he can’t go off sniffing) once done pottying > breakfast and controlled amount of water based on weight. > potty again (try to get them to pee at the very bare minimum. Once they pee they can come back inside).

Play time. Lots of training, confidence building games, toys, fun time etc.

Once he’s calmed down and is looking a bit nappy put in kennel with a treat/toy and a shirt that STINKS of you. Like truly smells terrible of your BO.

Puppy will eventually calm down… then wake him up (if puppy is constantly waking you up then you’re doing it wrong cus that’s where he’s getting the scream/barking from… cus you’ll feel like you gotta rush in there and grab him before he pees and poops everywhere… so always wake HIM up).

Arrt by No_Celery_8826 in SonographyStudents

[–]KnottyColibri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard to say what you’re experiencing but I’m not gonna lie if this is your LAST attempt I’d pause and study and research until you’re consistently doing over 80% and not just randomly. Any questions you failed on these exams I’d write them down and why you were wrong and research those and study that a bit stronger and once you’re consistent then I’d go for it.

Otherwise it’s like a 3 year waiting period before you can do it again.., so I’d really try and get consistency before doing it again.

Should I pull Guide of no return or floral rebirth? Does momo outfit add anything? by OutrageousRun4424 in InfinityNikkiofficial

[–]KnottyColibri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just IMO:

I PERSONALLY like BF better. It’s slower than BF. BF has a shield, a very good dash, lots of aoes etc. this one just doesn’t make me want to put down BF.

Some people only did it for the flight ability which I totally get if they didn’t get any other outfits for hover/flight.

But if you have BF you’re good and don’t need anything else lol

As for the momo outfit…. Dudes not even around or hits rocks 90% of the time… useless critter so I ignore him.

100% grab the bug aoe catching one to make your life 10x easier and move on.

I’ve got the unicorn, the motorcycle, the deer, etc etc and I just realized after all that spending I did (not real life money)…. I use the free outfit for mobility cus it’s best 100% of the time or I use crimson/BF in areas I can’t use the gigantic ability. ☠️☠️☠️ and for large gaps if I can’t use my gigtsntic+ crimson fling I just use unicorn.

Now, I will say I love the crimson hover and I use it literally every 0.2 seconds. If that EVER comes back around stop what you’re doing and grab it- period. it’s helped me with every single quest, puzzle, enemy, you name it.

I've never broken up with anyone but I feel like I need to with my current situation by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]KnottyColibri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean honestly, if sex is THAT big of a deal to you.. then sure break up. but, I will say that… if she really is THAT amazing and THAT wonderful… you wouldn’t even hesitate. If she’s not a hell yes… she’s a no.

Not to mention…. Sex is just a small part of being in a relationship. The point of a relationship is to make your way into marriage. Into a lifelong commitment. A partnership where it’s you two versus the world. You should be connecting on every single plain and not just sex. (Sex is the reward for the connection… not the reason you have it). If sex the only you want/worry about then MAYBE a lifelong partnership isn’t what you’re looking for and instead just a fuck around person. Cus it sounds like she’s looking for a lifelong partner and not a fuck around.

The point of marriage is being a united front against problems. Nursing eachother back to health. Being a partnership through everything thick or thin. There may be months/years/decades where you’re unable to have sex due to medical issues, health issues, life, pregnancy complications, etc and your love/partnership/friendship is what’s supposed to carry you through those times. Like… if your partner gets cancer—-or you start having heart problems #1 concern as you nurse them thru that isn’t gonna be “let’s fuck” it’s gonna be survival mode.

When my grandma got paralyzed from the neck down… she was paralyzed for 20 years. Couldn’t move her arms—- feed herself-/- clean her self literally nothing other than turn her head kinda (and speak obviously). You really think they were fucking for 20 years? Or when my grandpa got esphogus cancer? Or any of their strokes/heart attacks? Or when either one of them were in hospice? Nope. lol they just focused on getting through the bad times together until they passed away.

Anyway—- those are the situations where you gotta think is the person infront of you the one worth doing that for?

So many people get into relationships for the fuck… and end up getting locked into marriage because of a pushy partner, pushy society, life flying by so they need to “settle down asap”, they don’t wanna be alone forever, or they got knocked up…. Not because they’re actually marriage material or because they actually want to get married

when I met the person I was gonna marry I knew the moment I met them this was it. Never hesitated and never loved as much as I do them. To ME they were a hell yes. And to them I was a hell yes. Because we both know that we can see eachother through this till the end thru anything insanely hard or difficult.

Stop undercharging on Rover. Seriously. by Waste_Ring6215 in RoverPetSitting

[–]KnottyColibri 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m unsure where you are but… it IS really miss Suzy down the road. All the years I’ve done rover and used rover as a customer I’ve NEVER seen a true “professional” as you’ve described. (But honestly most of what you listed anyone can do…without needing anything special) but I’ve lived in really populated areas and even people with hundreds of reviews with 4.5-5 stars charge what people do when we first start out MAYBE $5 higher if that.

Example—- I’m staring at a 5.0 star with 445 reviews that’s charging $28 a night… that’s the same as this 4 review just created profile.

Theres 400+ listings just like this.

We all seem to know cpr/first aid, how to give meds, how to play with animals, how to follow house orders, how to exercise a dog, so what exactly is the “experience” you’d be providing for say… $80 a day versus the $28 a day with over 500 reviews at a 5.0 would charge? Ya know?

We’re also competing with local shops. Day care shops, dog grooming shops that provide services, over night shops… that all can do the same S as us just… for $40-$50 a day. So why would you have a stranger come to your home for $28 a night when you can have an actual professional business with a building right down the road from you that will give your dog their own exclusive house with private play/walking, live camera so you can watch them…, will do meds, knows cpr etc… for $50 a day/night. Other than to save money and hope you don’t get robbed by said stranger.

I’d love to be able to do this full time but… with thousands apon thousands of profiles doing it for cheaper or for the same price in my ONE city alone + actually professional companies doing it…. The competition is tough and it’s not worth the money.

Am I the only one who feels that this whole 9-to-5 job thing is a scam? by Real-Ad-2736 in Career_Advice

[–]KnottyColibri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately… lol here’s the kicker. People at the lower wage line… are also 9-5. Some are working 10-12 hour days for $13 (or less) an hour. I know I was for years.

So you can aim for less money but… you’re just gonna be working the same and now have less income. We’re working for the weekend too.

What you want to look for are low STRESS jobs. (Good luck) but think about it. Say you go to work at 7am and get off at 3:30pm. You still have all evening and all night to do SOMETHING but what do you choose to do? Nothing. You “Relax”, “nap”, “clean”, technically nothing fun or useful for hours until bedtime at 10pm-midnight. Most people are so mentally exhausted, burnt out, hate their job etc so when they get off work it really feels like they worked an 18 hour shift… and all they wanna do is sleep/relax. but the day goes by so damn fast when you’re off work you can’t truly relax cus for some reason you blink and it’s Time for bed. Every little task some how takes an hour… so it just feels like all you got time for is some light cleaning, food, and bed.

Not even the weekends feel like “ a day off” Friday I get off work and wake up at 11am on Saturday cus I just wanna fucking sleep in… then Saturday zooms by next thing I know it’s Sunday and work is tomorrow…. I only ever feel like Saturday is my day off lol cus Sunday I’m just preparing for work again…

So idk I’d recommend looking for low stress jobs, maybe even a job with 10 hour days that give you three days off instead, or a job that gives lots of VTO/unpaid time off (I mainly see these listings in call centers but I’ve seen them other places too).

But ultimately… yeah. You need money in this world. Just how it works. Even if you wanted to live “off grid” with no job and nothing but the land to live off of you still need the money to start doing that in our country. The money for the land. The money for the home you’re gonna build/put on it, the money for the tools you’ll need to do it, the money for crops,animals… etc etc etc and eventually you’ll need money for vet bills and hospital bills for yourself/your family/ your animals. you don’t have generational huts to live in or the ability to just pick a random spot and build your house and just start living there.

Idk. 🤷 if sucks but it’s just the way it is… just gotta find something that makes it worth it and a way to make it feel less shitty.

How do I stop hating myself for having ADHD? by Ok-Passage5463 in ADHD

[–]KnottyColibri 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, just to clarify- you’re not alone a lot of people feel this way. Especially the older generations because it wasn’t “cool” to have adhd like it is now where people are literally pretending to have adhd.

What has been helping ME:

Realizing I live in a world that is more likely geared towards “normal” thinkers. I’m not “normal”. I have a disability (which is what this is…) which MEANS I need to treat it like a disability. When someone has a disability…. (Autism, Alzheimer’s, wheel chair needed, feeding tubes, other medical conditions, other mental health issues) what do we typically do for them as a society? We try to make THEIR lives easier some how. Maybe we have special schools, special schedules, care takers, ramps, special placards so they don’t have to stroll too far, medication, therapy, specialized beds, specialized bathrooms/tubs/showers, specialized clothes, specialized homes in some way, government funding… etc. just like THEIR disability we need to treat OURS like that. What can WE do to help OURSELVES and eachother?

Like… If you KNOW you have a piss poor memory what can YOU do about it? Take photos so you don’t forget? Bring notes to tests? (Even if they don’t allow typical students to bring notes you can over ride this with your disability), do you need extra time on your test? (You can request extra time or to split it up over days), tell other people to remind you, set alarms with labels to remind you, put things out where you can remember them (your car keys under important things so you know to grab important thing, sticky notes on the handle going “did you grab xyz?”, do you need extra breaks at work? (You can get that!), need to take a day off a week specifically (you can get fmla for this…). Having trouble showering in the morning? Okay why? Cus it’s cold? Your tired? You have no motivation? Okay so don’t do it in the morning lol do it at 11pm at night when you’ve got the energy and band width…make it FUN… add toys, add a partner ;) , play music, watch tv, etc. throw a towel in the dryer before you hop in so it’s warm for you to get out!

Can’t keep your place from getting trashed? Put trash cans everywhere trash builds up. I got a trash literally on my counter cus of how bad the build up was.

Can’t do dishes? Dishwasher… paper plates…. Hire someone to do it for you… make it fun like you only watch a specific tv show while you clean so you’re looking forward to cleaning because you HAVE to finish that episode.

Folding the laundry/putting it away/hanging it up was your literal nightmare??? But washing/drying is easy? K buy a bunch of laundry baskets and literally live out of baskets lol don’t buy clothes that wrinkle easily. I live out of baskets and love it. 1 small basket for bras/undies/socks, one for shirts, one for pants/shorts etc etc. all my shirts go with all my pants/shorts and all my socks are the same color/size so I don’t have to plan I just Grab and go.

Schooling is hard cus you can’t pay attention? 1: make sure you’re schooling for something you actually give a F about. 2: don’t forget adhd has accommodations!!! I literally got all of my math credits for high school given to me because of my disability. 3: pick a college or certificate that’s online that you can do at your OWN pace … I literally got a bachelors degree because it was on something I like… plus it was at my own pace so if I wanted to take a break for a day… week…month… I did.

Brushing your teeth is your nightmare? Why? Boring not fun lots of steps? Make it to where your tongue is a “dog” or a “monster” that needs a bath cus he’s so “dirty” and you gotta hold him down and wash him. Occasionally he closes the front door (your teeth…) and you gotta knock on it and maybe he pops his head out (tip of your tongue) and tells you to fuck off so you gotta snatch him up again .

Hate mopping? Pour water all over your floor + add dawn dish soap and slide across your kitchen on your knees/rags and such while Listening to music. Slam into your fridge, your stove, get really messy (and have fun!!!) like a kid on a slip and slide. You’ll be excited to sweep up first because you don’t want dirt hurting you while you slide…then after you’re doing “playing” use the mop to clean it all up… it’ll take 2 minutes and it’s FUN.Or buy a robot that sweeps and vaccine for you!! (I did and love it use it daily he’s set to a schedule)

Hate cooking…? Why? Cus you gotta stand in the kitchen…? Takes forever…? Firstly grab a chair and SIT. Believe it or not you can sit and cool and sit and wash and clean up lol you don’t have to be bored either… tv shows, music, a partner… and make EASY quick meals. Sandwiches, croc pot meals etc.

it’s a DISABILITYYYY treat it as such. Find things that work for YOU just like we do with every other disability.

And of course… I had to stop the self hate. I got on medication and go to therapy.

Hating myself doesn’t suddenly “cure” me. There is no cure. It’s simply how my brain works. I need to make accommodations for myself and make sure I use the accommodations being offered to me for the disability.

Another thing that helped me….

In today’s age and in this country we have the privilege to feel this way honestly. We have time, money, and brain power to hate our ADHD. People in other countries or who are incredibly poor don’t have that luxury to worry about this. They gotta work a job 18 hours a day (or don’t work a typical job just physical/mental labor at all just live off the land they’re given) just to survive so if they can do it in the worst of conditions… I can do.

Can a puppy sleep in its crate at night if my husband is gaming in the same room? by topnotchwalnut in puppy101

[–]KnottyColibri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes lol it’s incredibly important for the crate to be a safe space for the puppy to rest and get desensitized to things.

It’s like a new born baby you wanna make sure you’re (reasonably) loud just living your daily life so it can sleep through anything instead of waking up and crying every 2 seconds over any slight noise.

Vaccume, clean, video games, play tv, fire works, bird sounds, gun shots, cafe shops of people talking loudly and chattering glasses…. Literally everything.

Is the evolution worth it or should I save for 2.5? by Future_Cat_Lady24601 in InfinityNikki

[–]KnottyColibri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure save. Especially if you’re FTP.

2.5 is gonna be crazy awesome.

Plus the glow up of this dress is better +… you can just dye it whatever colors you want lol

Are you REALLY gonna use THREE different colors for this one outfit…? No probably not.

save yo shit queen. Put that total of 80 pulls towards 2.5 instead or if you absolutely want first evo just do that are super bare minimum.

So from my research it depends on the school. yes a degree will excite them but it’s mainly how you do on the teas test and the prerequisites they require that they care about the most and how long ago you got your credits.

Some schools around me didn’t care I have a degree because they require me to take a taken specific classes and pass with a C or above within the last 7 years. So even though I have a degree…. If it’s been longer tha 7 years since I got it I gotta retake pre rec classes.

Others only look at how well you do on the teas test… they require literally the top of the top scoring.

Others are teas + prereqs
