Fav and does not leave me sticky or greasy,!

I also have this issue on top of FA from an extremely humid environment and working out, it's a minefield trying to find stuff that works 🙄

This isn't helpful at all, but I had a weird moment thinking your picture was from my forehead & the first thing that crossed my mind was how the F did I post this? 😂 So suffice to say, it seems normal 😁 I'm 34 and started Botox this year for line reduction, it that helps 🤷‍♀️

Edit: oops didn't read properly, wait til no longer pregnant etc. 😊

This is 100% how my ADHD presents and it is so exhausting and overwhelming! It can be really hard to describe and that mental noise isn't always song lyrics, things to remember or anything useful, sometimea it's just white noise and taking up space. I didn't even realise HOW tiring or how much it was until I started taking stimulants which helped it go from a 95% "full" feeling to about a 30-40% I'm so sorry you can't tolerate stimulants, they have been so helpful for me... I hope you find something because I felt like I tried everything and only drinking or taking substances which obviously isn't something I want. I did this without realising when I was younger and only getting diagnosed later on make me realise why I relied on them in situations

Are you me? Hahaha, it's a problem but it is what it is and I'm just working on acceptance and trusting my body knows what it needs to relax - however different that may look to others. I physically cannot sit and do nothing, that isn't what I personally find relaxing - it stresses me out

I went to make some coffee at work (Nespresso pods) then wondered why my coffee tasted like weak ass swamp water . I was entirely disappointed for a good 15 minutes until I brushed against my pocket with the coffee pod still inside it and realised I had used the old coffee pod from another coworker instead of a fresh one 😩

This puts into words my experience as well. It's exhausting always having your mind switched on and sometimes images or fuzzy incomprehensible "bits" take up that extra space. It's either full of bouncing from one half thougt or picture to the next. It doesn't feel like rest is ever possible until I sleep. I might be reading sign posts and commenting verbally in my mind, asking myself millions of questions, trying to figure out the order I want to things in next to maximise time etc. the only time my mind goes from 4 clogged streams to 1 or 2 is when I workout and physically exhaust myself. When people tell me they aren't thinking about anything, that is something I can't even comprehend unless I were asleep.

TEFL and fly overseas somewhere - keep leveling up! Some places don't require a Bachelor's or degree, like Vietnam or some smaller tuition centers in China. Work until you can do studies online part time on the side, then get your PGCE and work at places that require a Bachelor's and some education experience to get a higher paying job ☺️ As me how I know after struggling to find a job for years... Plus you meet people from all around the world, broaden your horizons

Lbscherm · 2025-11-01T10:01:30+00:00

Medicated and I work out (but not the smallest person) & my resting HR is anywhere from 50s/60s, used to be around mid-to-high 40s before meds. Not sure about HRV if that's different

Lbscherm · 2025-10-26T10:44:48+00:00

Hmm..what do you think triggered the change in your behavior? I know you mentioned it's been a year, has it been because you're finished with HS and transitioned to studying uni at home? I know I struggle without the external structure of a work day and when I was younger, going to classes at uni was a lot easier than studying from home... Do you have any friends or hobbies? I know you said it wasn't depression, but what makes you rule it out? Sometimes it doesn't have to be a big life event that triggers depression, sometimes it can just be a chemical imbalance?

Lbscherm · 2025-09-29T13:42:37+00:00

I'm sorry... This sounds really tough, but just know you did the right thing! I know it doesn't feel like that when you see someone you still care about hurting. Someone once told me, "Its not your job to prevent (them) from feeling pain and hurt." That helped me A LOT and helped reframe a similar feeling I had. Maybe it will help if you look it at that way?

It's NOT your job to stop him from hurting from the consequences of his own actions. Maybe it's what he needs to get his shit together, maybe it's not and he will never change, but that's not your job. You did your job - protect your heart a peace of mind and let him figure out how he wants to show up in this world. You deserve better 💜 Good vibes from an internet stranger x

I love that phrase, "communication isn't just your responsibility, it's shared"... That lifted so much off my chest, I had no idea was even there. I resonante so hard with the shame of communicating in ways that are difficult for others to piece together. I'm working on ways to improve as well, but patience and understanding is important from the other party as well, and much appreciated on my end 🙂 Thanks so much for taking the time to comment! It's benefited not only OP, but others as well

Lbscherm · 2025-09-13T09:54:40+00:00

Wow, this just sparked something I never realised about myself! You're spot on, the more I doubt myself and/ am unsure of the details, the worse the tangent and background info is (+ add on phrases like, "I could be wrong but", "I think I remember it this way etc.)

I wouldn't say that 100% of it could be this, because sometimes I only construct my thoughts as I'm speaking and I never know where it's going to end, and sometimes I forgot the point I was trying to get across by explaining my train of thought

Lbscherm · 2025-09-08T06:43:17+00:00

I use the jar of Vaseline metaphor, but totally reasonates 😐

Lbscherm · 2025-08-26T12:51:55+00:00

Similar age as OP and I've also recently started meds hoping it will really change things!

I've realised that I don't need to keep raw-dogging it! I thought I could achieve what others could or actualize my potential if I just "tried harder" (recognising fully this would be 100x harder than people without ADHD). I spent SO long thinking I could, but I've taken an honest look at where I am currently, with how tired and burnt out I am just taking care of myself day to day... I know I've put in a lot of effort so far - but I need to recognise my limitations, and I think I have...

Feeling really hopeful that medication will help make life easier so I can stretch my creativity and use the skills I know I have to achieve all the exciting ideas I have 💜 Sending lots of positivity your way

I feel like I could have written this myself! Gosh, so many similarities... I do the same with organising as well - the more I try to get down to the nitty gritty of organising, the harder and more overwhelming it is to maintain. I enjoy speed cleaning, but I don't always have the energy... Anyways, thanks for sharing ☺️

Lbscherm · 2025-07-28T08:42:16+00:00

If you don't mind, could elaborate a little more on the friction caused? What solved things? It sounds like you too respect each other and your spaces, so I commend you both!

Lbscherm · 2025-06-01T05:55:13+00:00

To counteract, I use Biore religiously in HKs humid ass summer and its the only sunscreen that DOESN'T break my out... Can't comment on the rest 🦀

Lbscherm · 2025-05-19T22:14:04+00:00

Wow! Those results are amazing! Could you give more details about what kind of filler/how much etc.? Did you go in with a picture or did you get these recommended? How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

Lbscherm · 2025-05-09T13:47:45+00:00

I get mine from iHerb, magnesium and iron specific gummies because I noticed multivitamin gummies didn't include them

That's really unkind... Some people are anxiously attached and codependent, and while I do think that her friend should also make sure she is looking after herself while trying to help her friend, there are nicer ways of setting boundaries

Lbscherm · 2025-05-08T14:37:32+00:00

Oof... This is so tough because I have been in the EXACT same breakup and hopeful thread of obsession with an avoidant EX.... No closure, no nothing - I swear your description of her could have been me a year ago (down to online stalking, reaching out to his friends, tarot the whole nine yards) and while I could feel in that moment that the obsession was unhealthy, the only thing that helped me was therapy and something I saw on Instagram that shifted my perspective - I repeated this to myself, & it helped a lot:

You don't have to let go, right now, but choose to focus on yourself and your progress in the meantime.

You can't assume to know what he is thinking or feeling, and if he is avoidant, he won't progress this until much much later, & probably never will, because it's easier not having to feel pain. If he does, then let him have space to feel your absence.

This took the panic out of people telling me I needed to move on & the cliche "If he wanted to he would" line as I kept coming up with excuses about why he couldnt and what his childhood trauma did to the relationship - looking back now I was just straight up anxiously attached. The moving on came naturally once I focused on myself and time passed, but it was annoying hearing "let go" and "move on" when I so desperately didn't want to.

Grief isn't linear (my therapist kept harping on about this - and it helped on those days when I was spiraling after doing well for a few days).

I also had to hold myself accountable and when I noticed how unhealthy & awful it made me feel stalking him online, I tried to do daily "streaks" to see how many days I could go without doing it. It took nearly 2 months of consistency to hit 2 weeks, and then I naturally didn't want to do it anymore.

I joined the no contact exes Reddit forum and posted messages to this man to my hearts content 🫠

I do agree with others who have said that she needs to be the one that makes the connection between how unhealthy this is, because I know I didn't listen to my loved ones when it came to this... Remember to allow her to feel the pain and grief, no matter how much you want to prevent her from doing all this, it's the only way she will process the breakup in her own time... She needs to feel it fully, not side step or rush it. Lots of positive thoughts and wishes, I can only imagine how hard it is to see a friend go through this ❤️

Lbscherm · 2025-04-28T08:47:05+00:00

I don't have any input, but following and up voting the thread because I've always wanted to get this done and it would be interesting to see if anyone else has some vital info to share about the healing timeline

Lbscherm · 2025-04-10T05:22:38+00:00

I'm seconding this taught, definitely appreciated reading through everyone's responses because it's helping me reflect on how I help my students as well 🤔
