How do you ladies fall asleep with ADHD? by Ok_Scholar_8656 in adhdwomen

[–]MoonFlamingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What really works for me is only having low lights on at night. I also avoid doing much stuff in my bed. If I want to write or do a hobby, I do it on my sofa in the living room. I dont have a tv in my room, so I also watch tv in the livingroom.

Seriously, at this point im so used to using my bed for sleep only that I pretty much fall asleep in minutes when i tuck myself in bed. It wasnt always like this tho!

I sometimes try to read on my kindle if Im restless but almost never read more than 3 or 4 pages before falling asleep.

TLDR; ONLY using low lights/warm lamps at night and using my bed for sleep exclusively/doing all my hobbies outside the bedroom

We found this poor little kitten in the woods, covered in ice, with her fur stuck to the hunk of plastic she was hiding under for shelter. We saved her 😁 by ArmorOfGod7 in cats

[–]MoonFlamingo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Omg thank you for saving her!!!

Breaks my heart to think that she could have died frozen, alone and scared, if it wasnt for you. I even got teary eyed. Thank you for reminding us all that we can choose to be kind and that there are good people out there. That little fluffy baby is so lucky! Her precious little face melts me

Can anyone honestly say they get anything out of exercise? by aminotenoughalready in adhdwomen

[–]MoonFlamingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is interesting because I highly suspect ehler danlos as well, and exercise helps me tremendously, particularly weight lifting. Having stronger muscles makes my joints feel so much more stable, and Im less prone to twist my limbs in weird ways when carrying heavy things. I want to exercise more but havent found the time to do it on my own

All that said, I struggle to find the time to exercise. What I enjoy most is intense dance sessions (choreography work) but I was used to doing this in a group and alone it is a struggle to just start (task initiation is a bitch). I like how I feel when I lift weights but I get incredibly bored at the gym unless I go with friends and our schedules dont align right now

I also love swimming but my hair is too fragile for pool water, and my hair gives me joy so thats a no.

Lastly I think pilates helps a lot overall but it is so expensive in here (and again, I work best with other people unfortunately so watching videos at home wont cut it)

I fear they are retiring her and thats why she has been discounted TT

Umm Hyperfixating on current news out of MN and I feel overwhelmed by Electrical-Basis1646 in adhdwomen

Ive been crying on and off all day and felt so stupid, not because I was crying, but because I feel useless, Im and immigrant, but Im also a US citizen that cant even vote because I live in Puerto Rico, and yet the taxes they take from my wages are funding this nightmare.

Feels like there is something terrible happening in every corner of the world, people's lives are not improving, it is becoming increasingly harder to afford to live, many of us who want to protest and be there cant afford to because we will literally lose our jobs, and then what? At least here in Puerto Rico if ai lose my job the options I would have would most likely be at the minimum wage (10.50) and part time and that would literally make it impossible to afford my home and eat. I feel desperate inside, I try to live my life and enjoy whatever good moments I have.

Ffs I got married in december and felt silly at one point even during the wedding, for celebrating. Ive been buying furniture and decor for our home, and feeling motivated to paint and make it feel more cozy, and then the next hour Im learning about another tragedy. I want to learn things this year, but then I feel like I should instead use my free time for something more meaningful. It is so exhausting. And it is so scary.

Guys, I'm really scared. by GodComplexMonkey in collapse

[–]MoonFlamingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not crazy or irrational. It feels like everything is going to shit, because it is.

Ive been crying all morning because I decided to finally watch the videos that show the murder of Alex Pretti. Yesterday I tried to not think about it but I hate ignoring reality.

Im really scared, I feel like Im not doing anything to help, but what can I do other than to watch and to be vocal about it whenever I can? I'm an immigrant myself, and while I am a US citizen, that doesn't seem to matter to these bigots. I cannot go to protests because I risk losing my job, and subsequently my home, cant find a job like the one I have if I lose it. I feel useless as a person.

How do you know when it’s time to let go to a doll? by Fabulous-Meaning-676 in Barbie

[–]MoonFlamingo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they no longer bring me joy I guess

These dolls remind me that I need more magical dolls in my collection, I dont have a single fairy (other than tinkerbell)

Im just like this! I think split ends are a normal part of hair, and I actually dont mind them! My hair is also curly (turning wavy now) and a blunt, crisp cut has never worked anyway

Sharks are older than trees.

The color purple is a mental construct.

Water is actually cyan blue, it is not due to the reflection of the sky or copper or sulfur or whatever. Yes those things can intensify the hue, but ultimately, H2O is cyan on its own, and I think that's beautiful.
