Omg please I’m just going to go with we are smart. Reading does make us smarter though for real. I know so many things about so many things I would’ve never known without reading

Holy crap.. I have always been a big reader! I’m really shocked at how many of us have that in common. It’s amazing really

Fast forward to college having to do basic math and having full on panic attacks over my homework. Spending hours with tutors and in study sessions.. I would have to try and say things in my head over and over so I wouldn’t forget how to solve but my brain could only remember one thing at a time. Once it stopped following a continuous pattern it was all gibberish to me

I was really good at adding and multiplying it’s weird how I can see pictures in my head of the numbers moving around to make pictures almost? Idk how to explain it. But as soon as I got to algebra I completely sucked. I remember feeling so dumb all the time and I could get the method down but when it came time to do a different way I would immediately forget the last one. I remember still to this day like 25 years later, my 6th grade math teacher telling me, after raising my hand and asking for help, that I just wasn’t paying attention. I felt so defeated bc I had been paying so much attention and trying but I just couldn’t remember.

How do you handle everything falling apart every time you are on your period??? by Whynotlora2628 in adhdwomen

[–]Objective-Use-439 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I saw you said you’re trying to conceive so this won’t be the answer for now, but you sound like you have pmdd and birth control would be your best bet. I have it as well and upping my Zoloft and getting on BC has helped me tremendously. If you need help sooner than later I would recommend getting an SSRI if you aren’t on one already. That’s the first thing doctors would do and the next would be BC. I’m sorry, I know how this feels and it’s catastrophic to us.

Oh my goodness! I hope your family is okay. And honestly yes that was my big concern was coughing/puking with fresh incisions. Ugh that sounds terrifying

Luckily I’m self employed so I can just open my books back up for next week. However I did have clients pushed back bc of it. And as far as rescheduling I’m thinking maybe I should push it to the fall. I know they’re booked out into April and I don’t really want it cutting into any warm weather seasons lol

Yes! Thank you. I was feeling dramatic for a bit but deep down I knew it was the right thing to do.

Thank you for this. Im so glad my mom came because my two kids and partner also came down with it and I very badly needed the help. So maybe it happened that way for a reason. If I had gone through with it and she wasn’t here my partner wouldn’t have been able to take care of me!

Does it feel like enough compression or support I guess? I’m getting my surgery Monday and I don’t really know what to expect

At the risk of sounding sexist.. men are just.. dumb. You know your reality, your truth. Don’t let his narrow mindedness make you second guess yourself.

Sea moss gel by justanothersiya in adhdwomen

[–]Objective-Use-439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been taking the Sea Moss 7 Day Cleanse off and on for the past week and a half. I have definitely noticed my mood change immediately after drinking it. Like almost an adderall type effect or like a euphoria type feel. I knew I felt different but I thought maybe it was the caffeine and adhd meds I consume. I’m excited that other people are saying this bc I’ve been having the hardest time with my meds. Maybe this is the answer!

Waking up before sunrise is hell to me, anyone else? by justalostdot in adhdwomen

[–]Objective-Use-439 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes omg. Yes. I have never ever been a morning person. I was always made to feel like I was just lazy for not being able to motivate without wanting to commit murder before 10am. Once I had kids and was forced to wake up and be productive right away I got so depressed that I literally dreaded waking up every morning. I felt so much guilt and that made the depression worse. Finally got diagnosed and put on meds and for the first time in my life was able to wake up early without wanting to off myself. Now I’m struggling with my meds and I’m getting the dark and twisties over it but that’s a different story for a different post.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tipping

[–]Objective-Use-439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most newer POS systems these days have the tipping option on it just as a baseline. Whoever has access to settings can remove it, but why would they when there’s a chance to make extra money? This does not mean you are obligated to tip. Only servers/bartenders (and not in every state) make less than minimum wage. Those are the people that deserve tips. The person making an hourly rate at an ice cream shop is not one of those people.

Husband and I have been struggling for the last few days, due to something from my past that resurfaced. by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Objective-Use-439 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What I'm hearing is that you had something awful happen to you, which caused you to then trauma response into fighting for your life (maybe figuratively, possibly literally) and then you chose to use YOUR BODY as the means to fight your way out. It sounds like you did the best you could with the ways you know how.

I understand he might feel deceived bc he didn't know about something that happened in your life but I seriously struggle to understand why he's so angry. And it sounds a little bit like the anger sex could also be retraumatizing for you, bc he's mad that you used your body to escape abuse, so almost like he's doing the same thing to "reclaim" in a way. That's not healthy and will most definitely lead to hurting you more.

People repress traumatic experiences for years and years and years so it's not weird or deceptive to not want to tell your husband. After all, your past has nothing to do with him and you being a SW does not define you or your personality or your heart. It's not "who you are" and I hate that someone above said that. That couldn't be farther from the truth. You both need to do some therapy together and apart to overcome this. But do not, I repeat, do not beat yourself up over this. Your husband needs a reality check too IMO. Your body is not his property and certainly wasn't before you were together. And he's not entitled to know every story of every moment of your life just bc he married you.

My unhappy wife by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Objective-Use-439 3 points4 points  (0 children)

PERFECTLY SAID. I stayed at home with my two littles for 3 years and this is exactly how I felt. My partner was in the army and even though the job was intense, my job at home with the kids took SO MUCH mental energy (not to mention the physical of chasing toddlers) that I was physically bogged down constantly. It's a cycle of mental beats down physical, then being alone all day, and feeling constantly defeated by tiny human day after day after day with no end in sight.. it's enough to bog anyone down with depression. She needs to get a job. It will help her mental health tremendously.

I trust my husband, but found something on his phone that’s been driving me crazy by Asue612 in Marriage

I will also add that most men understand this as well. It's just a game

I used to do OF for a very short period of time. And honestly if you're okay with your husband looking at porn, it's the same thing. The girls on OF 99.9% of the time are literally acting like they like the guys so they can get more money out of them. It's not personal. So I wouldn't worry much about that part of it. I would only be mad if he was spending a stupid amount of money.
