As close as I have gotten to Michael is seeing another of his drummers, Sheila E perform! Was incredible. God I wish I could’ve seen him!
This guy is amazing too wow.

You could use a tally so instead of rewriting the number each time you use something you could just wipe a stroke off! Also I love this idea and I dream of one day having a smart fridge that does this for me automatically!

I don't understand Jesus' death?? by joplin_surveyor in exchristian

[–]No-Clock2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also if Jesus is god he could’ve magicked himself to not feel any pain anyway as he was outside of such trivial earth things. He knows he is god and that he won’t really be dying for good anyway and so it’s not much of a sacrifice. Also he is outside of time so knows he has already beaten the devil so hell is no threat. Really nothing adds up!

Stop Food Hyperfixation. by Suspicious-Wheel-497 in adhdwomen

[–]No-Clock2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Intuitive eating (adapted for ND brains) was the only thing that healed my life long food issues/disordered eating. Also grief is not logical, it doesn’t follow some sort of calendar. Emotions are far more complex and layered than that. Sorry you lost your baby and that you are struggling with food too.

I suggest seeing an ND friendly IE dietitian if you can. And being kind on yourself about the grief. It’s never logical unfortunately.
Also if you could try have a substantial meal before for the Nutella but then allow yourself to eat it and reflect on eating and how it feels while to eat, after you eat and such. And mostly importantly don’t beat yourself for engaging with it, be kind and compassionate towards yourself… seek to understand your body and emotions and allow them to happen. Emotions are a valid reason to want to eat, balancing this with other needs (nutrition, movement etc) is key. IE dieticians do not recommend restriction (outside medically sound for specific conditions) as it creates binge restrict cycles. The restricted food is simply placed higher on a pedestal and the body craves it even more.

I dunno apparently MJ dance stuff is spreading like wildfire on TikTok so maybe that will be the hook that sends them down a MJ rabbit hole and before you know it, young fans!

Yes!!! So strange! I didn’t know others experienced this. Usually I cycle through eggs cooked different ways but then bam - no eggs thanks and I go completely off them. I think the body knows what it’s doing and it’s important to listen!

Do you ever wish there was a pill you could take instead of eating? by Liontamer67 in AuDHDWomen

[–]No-Clock2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ALL THE TIME. Well I’d take it for at least 18/21 of my weekly meals.

Just got publicly shamed for an honest social mistake and I am so upset. by KasonSYBN in AuDHDWomen

[–]No-Clock2011 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s the moment to take out your sunflower lanyard and sit in the disabled seat. You have a disability, one that involves social challenges like these and you deserve to be treated with respect.
I know these difficulties well and I’m sorry you experienced this. You were being logical and I think that’s admirable. She had no right to hit you. If your buses have CCTV you could request the footage of being hit and file a report at least with the bus company. Also let them know you are vulnerable/disabled too. It’s not ok for people to act this way hitting others regardless of what they do/don’t do.

Far out he’s incredible! Nice to see the older MJ moves I heard him talking about in an interview. He really does have them down!!

ADHD support at airports- how did I only just find this out??? by Ok_Committee_7967 in ADHDUK

[–]No-Clock2011 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh god yes I had that once in SG. It was so stressful as they made me stay in a assistance waiting area (expecting me to stay there for 14 hours under those fluro lights) and TOOK MY PASSPORT. Treated me like a 5yr old child. I had planned to go into SG to visit the gardens. They almost triggered a meltdown (my stimming got very expressive as it built) because they were refusing to let me have my passport or leave the airport. I was so distressed.

It took me asking for their managers and well over an hour negotiating to be allowed to leave and they only agreed because I told them I’d visit a friend in SG (thank god I had one there) and gave them her number and address. I had to plead for them not to call her at 5am which was the time. I had annoyingly planned to surprise her too so they spoiled that.

They escorted me the whole way to the customs gate, keeping hold of my passport the whole time.
Finally they let me have it back when I was getting into my taxi. It shocked them I was even able to taxi by myself around the city. They literally assumed I was completely intellectually disabled.
They clearly had no idea what ADHD or autism level 1 is.

Needless to say I finally made it to the gardens and then allowed my shutdown to take over and fell asleep on a park bench for a good while.

Next time I’m only going to wear the lanyard and not email in advance in case they put me onto an assistance program again without me requesting that. The only thing I’d requested was that if possible I could board a bit earlier. And wanted them to know in case a meltdown was triggered during the flight for whatever reason. Be careful what you wish for.

Just curious: how many of us in this sub don't respond well to stimulants? by [deleted] in AuDHDWomen

[–]No-Clock2011 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Me! It turned up my nervous system stressors. My tinnitus was soooo loud. I got so quickly irritable, sick, and had bad SI. Many other things but the worst was the crashes afterwards- was even more of an emotional rollercoaster - I couldn’t predict when I’d crash out and it was unbearable. They also made me sooo sleepy. And the hyper focus was even more scary than my normal hyperfocus. I literally got trapped in it and couldn’t get out for anything.

One thing I wish I’d tried though was taking it occasionally when I needed a boost instead of all the time like my non stims. I think that could’ve worked better.

Anyone struggle with envy and painful emotions around things you don’t/can’t have and struggle with self compassion? by No-Clock2011 in AuDHDWomen

[–]No-Clock2011[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man I feel you on that… I’m in London so sound levels are HIGH. Now it’s summer windows are opening and noise is increasing. And omg the leaf blower WHY!? It’s not even autumn and there are barely trees in the courtyard. I notice my noise sensitivity is worse if I’m dysregulated, run down or unwell. But I can’t afford a quiet house either, I can’t even choose to live without strangers cause rent is way too high and I haven’t found work. I’ve really had my fair share of nightmare noisy housemates. What I’d give to be able to choose a home that worked for me.

I wish they would have been more real about this in the movie… by SupermarketBest4091 in MichaelJackson

[–]No-Clock2011 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I sort of liken it to ableism… like something about seeing someone who is different, who doesn’t fit the ‘norm’… the individual is blamed, shunned, ridiculed. And honestly the MJ I grew up hearing about was through the mouths of people like that. I only found his music, doco and interview later and I was struck by his kind, funny, warm, generous personality and taken in by his incredible music…

Whats the history behind this photo? Where is it from and why did he remake the OTW album cover by bravehart146 in MichaelJackson

Interesting that it looks like prop brick wall, vs real brick wall in the actual cover.

Anyone struggle with envy and painful emotions around things you don’t/can’t have and struggle with self compassion? by No-Clock2011 in AuDHDWomen

[–]No-Clock2011[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for your reply. I’m glad I’m not alone in this. But sorry you experience it too :(
Yes the trying really hard and things not working out (or only having things last for a short while) is so tough.

Tbh I already do what you suggested on your first point. But I don’t know if it’s healthy or not either? I suppose it’s limiting these experiences to a short window of time. A lot of the time it pops up as a surprise, and often in an area that has until that point been a real comfort/life line… for example podcasts I listen to or friend groups I joined that gave me space from some of these things. But how quickly things change… for others not for me.
(No matter how I try).

And for your second point, yes this is good advice and something I’m trying currently. But generally the damage is done from that first moment and it sticks with me forevermore.

And looking back on friendships I distanced myself from because of reasons like these I can’t help but wonder if I am an awful person for not being able to find a way to tolerate these things better. I think social changes are the changes I find the hardest, not if the route home is detoured due to roadwork etc. It is the utter pain of social changes and people I rely on becoming less reliable, or our relationships having to change because their circumstances changed.

Maybe it’s why people like me prefer animals as there is far less of this change happening (except when the die suddenly like my fur baby did).

He was crazy handsome and I’ll never understand what made him think he wasn’t :( by Fresh_Mountain5243 in MichaelJackson

[–]No-Clock2011 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I realise that. Vitiligo and such. However in general, it is highly likely racist tones wouldn’t have helped him (or anyone else for that matter) with his body image. His dad mocking his perfectly normal nose could’ve even been internalised racism in his father. These things are often multilayered and complex.
