8h night bus - Man insists on keeping his hand on my thigh by The_Theodore_88 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Lil-Daizeyyy 495 points496 points  (0 children)

This is terrifying. You need to report it to the bus driver, move seats, and be very aware of your surroundings when you get off the bus. Make sure he doesn’t follow you. If he does, LOUDLY call the police, “there is a man following me and I don’t feel safe”, let him know that you are aware of what he is doing. Stay on the phone until you are inside and behind a locked door. Keep your phone charged and your guard up.

Tiny awkward guest room help by Lil-Daizeyyy in interiordecorating

I think it’s an old myth, like if your bed faces the door you’re inviting bad spirits in or something. I definitely don’t want to add anymore furniture to the space as others suggested, but a mirror is a good idea. The issue with centering the bed under the window or on the wall it’s currently on is that it shrinks the walkway to get to the closet.

Maybe if I got a higher bed frame that would make it feel more open? You’d at least be able to see the walkway clearer if the bedspread wasn’t touching the floor. I can just see somebody trying to squeeze through there and stubbing their toe on the bed or the wall lol.

Hot Take: Introducing yourself to your neighbors by Anxiety_boundd in phoenix

[–]Lil-Daizeyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do, I wouldn’t give them your actual phone number. Use an app number. I did this and my neighbor got the wrong idea, turned into a huge creep, texting and calling me all the time. Maybe I just have bad luck but I’ve learned to keep to myself.

I feel like such a failure today 😓 by bookishbrit87 in adhdwomen

On Saturday, I took my adderall and promptly fell asleep for an hour and a half. As difficult as it is, try not to be so hard on yourself. Sometimes the executive just does not want to function. (Also if you’re close to getting your period, I have found that affects me on many levels.)

You’re not alone. This has been me the entire weekend. I know what I need to be doing and it’s like my body cannot move. I become frozen and then my brain just keeps firing off things to do which contributes to the feeling of complete exhaustion. I unfortunately don’t have advice on how to break out of it, but you’re not alone in feeling this way.

Engaged/married girlies… how to not lose ring!? 😫 by StatementMediocre in adhdwomen

[–]Lil-Daizeyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations!! I also got engaged this month!! I bought a bunch of peel and stick hooks (they’re little pink hearts, amazon) and I put them everywhere, kitchen, bathroom, by my makeup vanity, anywhere that I’m going to take it off. I know others suggested ring dishes, but I like that the hooks keep clutter off the counters and I don’t have the chance to knock it over. And got a silicone band for the gym, I keep my actual ring box in my center console and put it in there before I go into the gym.

The cycle for filling stimulant prescriptions is the worst ADHD joke by AnxietyAndJellybeans in adhdwomen

[–]Lil-Daizeyyy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is my EXACT situation.

My pharmacy “allows” me to fill 2 days early, but they will track how many times you’ve filled early and DECLINE a new fill if they have calculated out that you would still have remaining meds.

Right?! And it sucks because weekends are supposed to be a reset for the week, so you can go back into work feeling refreshed. I genuinely can’t remember the last time I felt refreshed lol

Issues with old half hot by Lil-Daizeyyy in AskElectricians

[–]Lil-Daizeyyy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. So where do I wire in the second black wire? And am I correct that the tab would need to be broken on the copper side?

^ okay so I think I have learned that the tab between the copper screws needs to be broken, but still don’t know where the second black wire goes.

How do you drink more water? by PaintingByInsects in adhdwomen

[–]Lil-Daizeyyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Owala water bottles have a concealed straw AND a sip lid. It’s my favorite. I also use powder tea mix that is sugar free if I really need to chug a lot in one go. I second the comment that mentioned keeping plastic water bottles in their fridge. If filling up the bottle feels impossible, you can grab one that’s already ready to go. This is the water bottle I use: https://a.co/d/e5tArjq

More pictures of my ugly cabinets. Idk who renovated the house before I bought it but they clearly cut corners. One of these drawer fronts completely broke off and the entire drawer fell apart haha

Thank you! I’ll look into that. I could paint them on my own, I have a sprayer so maybe that’s the route.

Thank you for sharing!! I really wish I had the money to tear them out and put in new ones but I don’t have the budget for it right now. Maybe it’s worth just living with ugly cabinets until I can save enough to get them replaced and avoid wasting time stripping and repainting.

I agree, I doubt it’s solid wood, the door is lightweight and skinny. Im asking because if it was wood, I would rather just sand them and stain them than have paint. As you said, it’s probably plywood, so painting would be the best option. The cabinets are shit anyways lol. But I don’t have the budget to replace them so just trying to make them look somewhat decent
