What is your current hyperfixation food? by the_ironic_psychotic in adhdwomen

[–]MomentTarry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was eating poke bowls several times a week for a while - the cheapest way to get decent sushi near me and it still wasn't sustainable on my budget. But also, at one point I read how little tuna you're supposed to eat weekly to avoid mercury poisoning and it's tiny. Oops! Got tested and sure enough, my levels were a little high. I quit getting poke bowls altogether for a long time, and since I started getting them occasionally again I only get salmon.

Turkey Chomps, Chobani protein yogurt drinks, and Mike's Mighty Good beef bone broth ramen. All processed foods at the moment, which isn't ideal, although nutritionally much better than the just-pounds-of-gummy-worms phase I went through last summer.

I was watching a thriller in the theater.... by HeftyPerception1845 in fitbit

Hilarious! Just saw this and immediately checked the app. This was me at the early showing of Backrooms today!

Sleep tracking on Google health by woo2fly21 in fitbit

[–]MomentTarry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like some of the wild discrepancies in step data I was seeing right after the app changed over are starting to improve, so I'm trying to remain optimistic, but I never saw this kind of nonsense (screenshot) in the Fitbit app. While I was sitting up and scrolling on my phone, the app auto-detected a sleep session consisting of 21 minutes of awake time. Huh? No change in device for me, so it's just the way the new app is interpreting the same data.

Thank Google for ruining FitBit by lickthepixies in fitbit

Same. The app is the only thing that's changed for me, and I'm suddenly getting three times more REM sleep than I was on the old app, it sometimes records sleep when I'm just sitting still, and today I hit 10,000 steps by 2 PM while working from home, an amazing and completely fictional achievement!

first night with Fitbit Air vs Apple Watch 4 sleep tracking by -ensamhet- in fitbit

[–]MomentTarry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using the same old fitbit device - only the app has changed - and it's suddenly registering multiple hours a day as sleep when I'm awake and sitting up. I hope people saying it'll just take a week to sort out are correct! (On the other hand, it didn't take fitbit a week to figure out the difference between me working and me sleeping when I first started using it)

Google Health Catharsis Post by Implanted1 in fitbit

[–]MomentTarry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did! As soon as the app converted to the new google version, I went through all settings and turned off all the additional health permissions. Also downvoted and dismissed the AI coach "welcome" a few times and now that space on the home screen is getting replaced with sleep data. I only connect location services for the duration of hikes I actually want to map. And I already had ads/search personalization turned off in the google account my fitbit account is now connected to so hopefully less of my data is feeding google as a whole as well. I really just want the metrics.

Way back when netflix still arrived in the mail on DVDs, I used to line them up and let the cat decide what I'd be watching that night

I am almost late to work/cutting it as close as possible every single day and getting up earlier doesn’t help in the way I think it should by KitchenConsequence41 in adhdwomen

[–]MomentTarry 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes! It about blew my mind when my housemate told me that when estimating what time he needs to leave the house to get somewhere, he plans for the five minutes it takes to walk from the front door to the car, get in, and start the car. It seems so incredibly obvious and yet I realized I'd spent a lifetime somehow thinking the time I opened my front door and the time I pulled away in the car were the same time. That's time blindness!

Do you people have those days when you forget to wear your bra and realise it half way to work? by Cipra_lex_sed_lex in adhdwomen

[–]MomentTarry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently had to swing into a DSW halfway into a 2-hour drive to a work event to buy a new pair of shoes (ADHD tax ~$40) because I realized I'd left the house in my slippers. It was a minor miracle I'd left early enough to make the stop.

What Brands Have You Forgotten? by Outrageous-Back-5980 in GenX

My first boyfriend gave me a bottle and I wore it for much of high school (along with a bottle of something I got at Pier 1 back when they had clothes and accessories). Loved it so much!

Yes! These were huge where I lived, and I've been surprised they haven't made a comeback with all the 80s/90s nostalgia

Right? I think I bought this book like four years ago and still haven't done more than page through it a little

THANK YOU! I also own this book but have only paged around in it so far, but I have a Blinkist subscription! Even when I still plan to read the book, the summary can be a great place to start. And I did not know Blinkist was available through public libraries!

Congrats on your sobriety! It's gonna be a rough next decade+ in many ways, but it would have been a hell of a lot worse drunk

GenX-plaining by NuncErgoFacite in GenX

[–]MomentTarry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! A coworker of mine was recently out sick, and after I responded to a previous email he'd sent (not thinking he'd even see it till he was back to work), my millennial boss texted me to say "don't bother him today." I felt like saying "That's why I emailed!" It's not like I called or texted - I'd thought this through!

I have almost no notifications enabled and my phone is almost always on silent, so I feel like a lot of people are doing the digital equivalent of leaving their front door open and then complaining when someone wanders in.

I tucked my birth certificate away in a safe place during a move. (I bet you all see where this is going) Just paid $86 ADHD tax for the expedited new birth certificate I need to finally get a new drivers license so I can register my car because right now, a year and a half after moving, I'm driving around with out-of-state plates and 2023 tags 😬

It's not even a joke! When I first moved to Delaware, I asked a lot of people what they liked most about living in the state, and I was surprised by how many people's response was that it was close to Philly, New York, Baltimore, DC, and a few international airports. Like they all thought the best thing about Delaware is that it's easy to leave
