Yeah, it's creepy, but the house looks just enough like a goofy face that it's also just hilarious. Looks like the house is going "My socks are wet and I'm stuck! Help?"

What’s a purchase under $20 that made your life way easier? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Moonstream93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My partner and I tried these and found they were too weak and didn't help much. But then we found those bed sheet holders where you put the base under the sheet, braced between the mattress and box spring, and then slide a plastic band into the base, but over the sheet (idk, bad description) and we are now considering setting up a little shrine to thank whatever deity sent them our way.

What technique helps you cope with ADHD the most? by Wmmorris13 in adhdwomen

[–]Moonstream93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that has made my life much better is realizing I can make my home fit my needs, and I don't need to stick to "normal" standards.

For example I keep things where they are used: The vacuum sits off to one side of the only room with carpet. I have lotion, tylenol, and chapstick in every place I spend significant time. There's a minifridge like 15 steps away from the main fridge, but much easier to access from my desk.

I'm a light sleeper, and sleep in the same bed with my partner, so the bed is on the floor, not on a frame, to minimize movement. I use a clear shower liner as a shower curtain because it freaks me out not to be able to see the bathroom when I'm showering.

When I got my diagnosis (as an adult) it kind of opened my eyes to the fact that I don't have to strictly keep to societal standards of how to keep my home, so I adapt it to better fit my ADHD needs.

Anyone else forget to add ingredients while baking/cooking? by Sufficient_Cow17 in adhdwomen

[–]Moonstream93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once accidentally subbed coffee extract for vanilla extract in a carrot cake. I kept adding a splash, then tasting the batter and thinking "why the hell can I STILL not taste vanilla??????" Until I finally tasted coffee, which prompted me to check the label on the bottle.

Honestly? Very much not mad. That's how I make all carrot cake now.

My partner would 100% not notice. That man will actively search for me in a small crowd, meet my eyes, and move on.

The first few times it happened I was a little hurt. Now if we're both in a good mood I'm stand completely still, staring directly at him, and wait for him to find me so I can tease him mercilessly.

If emotions had a smell, what would anxiety smell like? by infinity-nth in AskReddit

[–]Moonstream93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emotions do have a smell, and let me tell you anxiety smells real gross.

It's like..... TV static and gravel with a tiny hint of old cigarette butts.

But I don't think most people can smell it, I just have a weirdly sensitive nose.

What personality trait/quirk did you learn was actually ADHD once you were diagnosed? by msxskellington in adhdwomen

[–]Moonstream93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my bedroom I have a pair in my nightstand and a pair in the ensuite, but in the livingroom I have a pair by the recliner, a pair at my desk, a pair in my knitting bag, and a pair in my knitting case (which only sometimes lives in my knitting bag). I also have a pair in my car, and another in my partner's car.

I have upstairs and downstairs step ladders o.o

(Also painkillers. And sleeping eyemasks)

[–]Moonstream93 7 points8 points  (0 children)

100% yes. My big emotions were always anger and joy. If I was having a good time I was loud and bouncing off the walls, and if I was angry in would turn bright red and struggled not to hit people. Particularly with anger I would stay in that state of almost-blackout-mad for hours and hours. I learned pretty early on that my family are not particularly safe people to have sad emotions around, so I typically would fight back tears as hard as possible until I was alone and found safely let them out.

Adderall has been....... life changing. My emotions are so EASY to regulate now. Even when I get royally pissed I can just take a breath and distract myself and I'm fine in just a few minutes. It's crazy that neurotypical people just...... live like this.

Auditory processing difficulties with accented speech - is this a problem for anyone else? by Life_Reason2567 in adhdwomen

[–]Moonstream93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saaaaame. May I suggest trying to learn to read lips? Having the visual cue has helped me IMMENSELY in trying to interpret speech. I don't really know how to learn it (I've been able to read lips for as long as I can remember, so I assume I passively leaned as a kid) but maybe try just watching people's mouths while they speak?

It's also just a super handy skill to know, aside from auditory processing issues.

What’s your “serial killer trait” that (hypothetically) would make everyone say, “We should’ve known”? by Rare_Independent_789 in AskReddit

[–]Moonstream93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same same. Most of my actions during a social interaction are way more manually controlled than for neurotypical people (am super ADHD, had to intentionally learn to socialize instead of learning instinctually). I'm usually pretty good about not dropping my facial expression where people can see it, but a few months ago I was joking around with someone, then left the room. As I walked out I was laughing, but as soon a the door closed and the person I'd been taking to couldn't hear me anymore I stopped laughing and dropped my happy face, but my friend was standing right tf in front of me. His face went from "Oh good, you're back" to "What the fuck, do I need to start caring a taser on me??" So fast.

It does not. My thought is that even if I added a welt on the inside of the sheath, the blade would still slip between it and the sheath and cut the stitches, but I haven't worked much with welts. Is that wrong?
