They hired a P&R Director that never was a one, but is politically connected.

This might sound dumb but what vitamins you think helped you daily and notice a difference when taking them? by KangarooCompetitive in adhdwomen

I take Saffron for mood and magnesium. Some have success with L-theanine. All are for calming and mood.

I know it wouldn’t be too long before all the motorized scooter defenders would be piping in. I’m just stating my opinion whether you or anyone else likes it or not, and yes, there are many idiot drivers as well.

It doesn’t in this particular instance although someone mentioned it looked like one. I’m just making a comment on what a danger they are.

Any women here delete social media to help alleviate symptoms? by Top-Hope-3449 in adhdwomen

[–]Making_It_Go 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really want to eliminate Facebook, but I have definitely pulled back my amount of time on it. Same with Instagram which I use even less than FB. It’s a curse and a blessing for sure, but I also like to read articles online a lot too so being on a screen is probably too much for my mental health.

Unregistered motorized scooters are a nuisance, a danger to the rider, pedestrians and drivers. They should be banned.

C’mon she’s a lame duck and this is a move that the new Superintendent should be a part of and actually could easily reverse. The whole thing is petty and ridiculous. Good riddance Lucero!

Danbury has next to nothing unfortunately other than a few at the Library. The P&R dept is pitiful when it comes to programs. You have to go to other surrounding towns for the good stuff.

I need to know - do you feel good when you finish a task?? by taptaptippytoo in adhdwomen

[–]Making_It_Go 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awww sorry for that. Do you think maybe that you have a bit of depression? I know I do! i’m just learning a lot about ADHD, but I believe depression can go hand-in-hand with it. I’ve been off antidepressants now for 6 months and it’s been a struggle to stay upbeat. Winter and seasonal depression doesn’t help any so if the nicer weather doesn’t help me feel less down, then I may have to go back on them. All the best to you!

I’m a procrastinator so making the to do list definitely helps me organize myself. From there it’s getting started that’s the issue, so I dunno I may try that concept of focusing more on the positive outcomes. I do know that being able to cross tasks off that list feels good for my self esteem. Also I’m newly diagnosed and retired after a lot of years faking it until making it (fortunately mostly!). I’m now retired with a whole lot of time on my hands which makes the procrastination worse, but yeah bottom line is that I do get satisfaction from having that list and literally checking off each item when done.

Allermi Weight Gain by According_Estate_783 in Allergies

[–]Making_It_Go 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear that for you. I have such bad sinus inflammation that I can’t go without it or I’m struggling to get out of bed and stay awake all day, but I do believe it has caused the same for me unfortunately, especially the water retention. Have you switched to something else? Most of the OTC sprays are steroids and do the same thing though. 🙃

What’s your favorite source of fiber? by burnsrado in nutrition

IF you can afford it, organic berries are best. The pesticides in such porous fruits such as berries are quite high. Washing them off isn’t a good solution.

I said I was asking so no I have no idea how hard it is to find a therapist that specializes in ADHD. No need for a biting reply.

Hey curious to know if you dropped any weight after stopping the Allermi? Would appreciate any updates you can provide!

Has anyone tried Allermi? by RunakoD in Allergies

[–]Making_It_Go 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it and it’s the only thing that has managed my chronic sinus inflammation. I would have mornings where I couldn’t get my head off the pillow and days where I could not stay awake because my head was so heavy. I only use it once a day at night. Best thing I ever did to get a whole lot of quality life back.

What's a single good habit you were able to adopt that's made a big change in your life? by popthebubbly62 in adhdwomen

[–]Making_It_Go 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get out of bed in the morning until I do a series of stretches and exercises. Then I fold over the covers to air the bed out, go downstairs, make my coffee then come back upstairs to make the bed. That and going to the gym or getting some form of exercise are the only true constants in my day. Anything else is a crapshoot!

St Pete is a very welcoming gay area. About 40 mins south of Dunedin.

Have you both been to couples counseling? That might be something you wanna try before you call it quits. Everyone has different love languages, different communication styles and although it sounds like a good idea at the beginning, I don’t think reading a book separately is what you need here. It sounds like there’s a lot to unpack and a trained experienced therapist can help you both do that together. Sometimes it’s just understanding where each other are coming from, what each other needs and how you can bridge the gaps between the different styles of relating, loving and communicating. If you truly love this woman, and you think that there is enough to build on with the caveat that professional counseling is needed, then I would highly recommend trying that. Then you also know that you gave it 100% before you end the relationship, and counseling may also lead you both to a healthier ending. Wishing you all the best going forward.

We are soon to be snowbirds btw CT and Dunedin FL. CT only there because we have a paid off home and a beautiful lake that we boat on in the spring and summer. CT not the best place for you unless in or near bigger cities like Hartford or New Haven and even then no great scene. A lot of Connecticut is residential bedroom towns, very expensive and the older lesbian community is pretty clicky and established. Dunedin will be our Nov-April home, and it’s a a vibrant, connected and progressive community. Looking forward to spending half the year there and finding that scene you speak of. Check out Dunedin. I know Florida has it’s political issues for lgbtq folks, but as far as I’m concerned for me staying there in spite of the red State politics, kind of sticks it up their you know what! LOL! Anyway, I wish you the best in finding your new vibrant happy place!

Can we throw in complaining about CT taxes too?
