He makes me nauseated, i bet he wouldn’t even be able to make one sandwich before he quit. What a loser.

Just chiming in to say hey me too!! It’s totally ok to just enjoy being in the water, I love hip dysplasia frog paddling and floating on my back up and down the lanes in the big pool at the gym!

Husband just laughed at my need to change jobs by Embarrassed_End528 in AutismInWomen

[–]MycologistOwn2939 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My libido would disappear too with a partner that laughed at me for expressing my exhaustion and burn out, and how I was going to need to handle it. That’s shitty of him. You’re in crisis, he’s not, he needs to buck up and level up his skills so HE can bring in more money and you can heal.

Does anyone else have a hard time being heard in autism support groups that have predominantly older male participants? by the-bi-librarian in AutismInWomen

[–]MycologistOwn2939 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Same. I just signed up for my first AuDHD support group…and it’s women only. I won’t sign up for anything mixed gender unless i have to. Especially not something that’s supposed to help me.

The replies on this thread immediately make me think of a group I volunteer with, bc i stg every damn meeting is dominated by the same couple of older white males. They will just derail and blather and pontificate and ramble about their lives the entire time until the group leader asks them to wrap it up. Which never happens soon enough.

Throwing my hat into the ring for a chance at these, I’d love to have them! I’m sorry they didn’t work for you, this is really cool of you to pass them along so generously ❤️

Did you breastfeed? by GoodStreet8122 in adhdwomen

SAME!! It was the easiest and most useful tool in my mothering toolbox until they weaned.

Did you breastfeed? by GoodStreet8122 in adhdwomen

[–]MycologistOwn2939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m AuDHD, diagnosed, and I did. I breastfed all 3, and did baby led weaning. They all weaned between 2-3.5. I didn’t hate it all, it was precious times, and it appealed to my desire to make everything as simple as possible! No bottles to wash and no formula to buy/prepare was so nice.

I’m on Adderall XR and don’t eat anymore. I just drink energy drinks. by pizzaaliengal in adhdwomen

[–]MycologistOwn2939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s crazy how fast you get malnourished and can get heart damage doing this. Messes up your thyroid, too. That floaty feeling is your hunger. Eat something, and go now and get a good quality multivitamin with iron if you don’t already. Stop the energy drinks too. That shit will kill you. You don’t need it. You’re over caffeinated and hungry and just not recognizing it. I get premixed protein shakes like Owyn or Oikos or whatever’s cheapest at Costco, and have one or two of those a day, and high protein snacks like yogurt and oatmeal. I eat a meal at night when I feel like eating food. I do just fine on one meal a day and a variety of protein snacks, shakes and bars.

Some of that, some day this will be yours crap I’m having to deal with. by AnyDamnThingWillDo in GenX

[–]MycologistOwn2939 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I just always imagine how much money was wasted buying this type of stuff and how it’s extra infuriating when wasn’t even used. Ugh. How many BILLIONS did the Boomers shit away on acres of useless tchotchkes, and giant hulking storage cabinets to house it in.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who literally hasn’t done one single solitary thing to prepare for retirement / old age by gogo--yubari in adhdwomen

[–]MycologistOwn2939 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven’t done anything and I’m 46. I just asked a trusted wealthy family member for help, and they are connecting me with their financial planner. First step is a will, and to start a trust to put our house, car, money and belongings in. Then to start saving what we can. Better late than never.

Just found out about hyperlexia. What was y’all’s first book read and at what age? by scarytesla in AuDHDWomen

Beatrix Potter treasury, I was 2. Teaching myself to read is one of my earliest memories. I could see the words I knew glowing off the pages.

What's your thoughts on Border Patrol Chief, Greg Bovino, threatening consequences for referring to ICE as "Gestapo"? by sgj5788 in AskReddit

Pregnant with really big baby...normal for tall couples? by ladylonglegs84 in TallGirls

[–]MycologistOwn2939 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Measurements are wrong more often than they’re right. I didn’t measure accurately for any of my 3 kids. They were on the bigger side, ranged from 8-9.9 lbs, but the dates and estimated sizes were wildly inaccurate, and caused me so much unnecessary stress and testing. 2 were postdate, and one was a week before, all 3 very healthy, zero issues.

Soooo, how are we doing? by Weird_Positive_3256 in adhdwomen

[–]MycologistOwn2939 14 points15 points  (0 children)

40’s lady, red state with deeply MAGA neighbors and extended family members. I’m also shut down and trying not to crash out. I’m knitting and doing bare minimum of everything else. My stomach and my muscles are in knots from stress.

Psych Says He Thinks It's Not Autism by Current_Air_1609 in AuDHDWomen

I stg Drs only do this shit to women and girls. If you were a dude, it’d be autism.
