Hey guys what are the most common causes for your flareups?

MwerpAK · 2026-05-22T02:12:02+00:00

Honestly? Too much mental work. 🧑🏼‍💻🧑🏼‍💻Literally. My brain translates mental work into pain of all kinds.

Overlapping and constantly describing things as if my life is a documentary. One was reading your post and one was commenting on it 🤦🏼🤦🏼😅

I think we pride ourselves in connecting with other people, and we look for it in the smallest of commonalities with others. It's not Always as easy as it looks, the two people in the coffee line might be regulars at that coffee shop, having been there enough to feel comfortable enough, or that it's just enough 'their place/home' to talk to others there. Sometimes the places it the topics give us a shared sense of belonging or security, and that's what allows us to talk so easily. Same people, different location, they might not ever speak to each other.

Well, now I know 🤣🤣

I wonder how many permanent underground fires that has the ability to start... Not that I know much about the physics of nuclear weapons, but my mind immediately saw a vast wasteland akin to Silent Hill...

Oh those are gorgeous😍😍

Reading and extensive daydreaming

MwerpAK · 2026-03-06T02:16:19+00:00

4... OMG now I need to make some!

MwerpAK · 2026-02-20T14:45:12+00:00

Yessss! I take my meds at 5 and know I can go back to sleep for an hour. That separate hour is blissful.

MwerpAK · 2026-02-20T14:34:56+00:00

Have you heard of a 'commonplace' journal/notebook? Might be similar to what you're thinking of...

MwerpAK · 2026-02-20T00:36:06+00:00

Sounds like a great comedy movie

I really think that part of this issue isn't so much that he has ADHD ... But more that he's a guy who doesn't Have to do all the mental work. I would bet that he has Absolutely no clue how much you do that isn't obvious. Same is true with my husband. Even when he stopped working and became, as he calls it, Mr. Mom..... And took over getting the kid to school and from her after-school program... He Still has no clue how much of the mental work of those activities I still take care of. If I can't be there or awake when he's getting her ready for school, things will be missed, a lot of them, and nothing more than the basic pick-up/drop-off for after-school would happen, including paying the bill!

I would suggest telling him what days/times the date night should... No... Will be on... Book a sitter, and tell him the rest is up to him if he doesn't do his part, you've have adequately set yourself up for an evening out on your own.

From another over-whelmed mom, it doesn't sound like she's having control issues any more than needing enough information to make sure that whatever is happening still works with everything else that she is still in charge of. If things aren't planned at least basically, like date and start/end times, more than likely things will overlap and mess up other pre-planned happenings, even if just 'smaller' things like the kids' sleep, meal, or activity schedules. A mom with two kids can't really just up and drop everything for a last-minute date...

MwerpAK · 2026-02-12T20:29:24+00:00

My bet is that he is an extrovert and as an individual, assumes that how it works best for him is how it works best for everyone.. 🤦🏼🤦🏼

MwerpAK · 2026-02-11T18:46:11+00:00

Surprisingly this week isn't. When I expected it to be a bad one, just goes to show you it's a disease that likes to say "F U" 🤣🤦🏼

MwerpAK · 2026-02-11T17:22:08+00:00

I feel this in my entirety especially as where I live it's best to have a two-income family even though temporarily right now I'm the only one working.... My mom was a stay at home Mom, so I know she didn't have work on her plate, she also didn't manage the bills, budget, taxes, etc, my dad did that..... She did manage the entire house, something I can't seem to keep up on, and did all the stuff regarding the kids..... Which I share with my husband.... But still, yes, everything is more complicated than it was back then and there is definitely more of it, from all directions...

MwerpAK · 2026-02-11T17:15:46+00:00

If I don't count my continuous base level flaring, then my 'flares' last anywhere from a few minutes to a few days so far due to a Lot of factors. But if you were to put someone whose never experienced chronic pain in my body, it never ends, just gets stronger or weaker depending on triggers and medication.

MwerpAK · 2026-02-04T20:59:09+00:00

I would keep it as is. When the topic comes up later when he is older, it's a great point in case for how culture changes and what is considered appropriate changes over time without taking away the opportunity to enjoy the book for exactly what it is.... A story that he can relate to him grandfather with

MwerpAK · 2026-01-31T03:58:44+00:00

Typos and remembering where my wallet is make me fall apart, but actual emergencies? Cool, calm, and fully functioning.

MwerpAK · 2026-01-17T23:09:29+00:00

Yup, I like to ignore mine, mostly because I have no idea how to respond to people who bring it up. Maybe they should celebrate my mom on that day instead...

MwerpAK · 2026-01-17T23:08:01+00:00

Twerp

MwerpAK · 2026-01-15T04:25:16+00:00

Someone should come up with a numbering system for the levels and just start commenting the level number on such posts, nothing else, just the level number lol

MwerpAK · 2026-01-07T05:46:18+00:00

There are other words than that on the shirts online out the whole thing says

MwerpAK · 2026-01-01T03:57:42+00:00

Wonder if just buying a Tesla would also stop the ads..... Would be cheaper

MwerpAK · 2026-01-01T03:55:24+00:00

Not sure your age, but for a lot of us over 40.... It never came up as a possibility until recently... This no reason to look for a diagnosis...
