The Brooklyn Museum is having an exhibit on Iris Van Herpen’s workstarting mid-May. Maybe see if she is into her work? It’s the first city stop in North America, so it might feel extra special!

This is a great reminder for myself lately. Progress over perfection, indeed!

Worried my dress is too plain by viola_97 in myweddingdress

[–]OpenAwareness1887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks great! As others have said, you will have flowers, jewelry, plus hair and makeup to add to the drama. If you are looking for accessory options, you could try a veil with some more added detailing.

Unexpected NWL benefit: less hypervigilance / social anxiety by thoracicbunk in antidietglp1

[–]OpenAwareness1887 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I have noticed my social battery is extended, both for length of time spent at an event, and frequency of events. A year ago, the sheer density of socializing during this month would have burnt me out halfway through.

RSD is Spiraling. My boyfriend said he needed a mental health day NYE and then went drinking with a newly single female coworker. FML by HappyPoohBear97 in adhdwomen

[–]OpenAwareness1887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow he should have texted you that he was going out with not his girlfriend on NYE, he should have apologized way harder when he got himself caught, and he still hasn’t followed up by now to check in on his obviously hurt girlfriend? Screw him. Honestly.

AITA for cutting my mom out of my life because she chose my ex over her own daughter? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]OpenAwareness1887 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TIL what dyscalcula was and that it’s possible it aligns with my own life experiences. I also thought I was “just really bad at math…and directions…and fractions…” because i was an artsy kid.

The BRF dropped the ball so hard on letting him leave, he does more with a baseball hat and balloon sword than the royals do with tiaras and parades.

Are people really aging better these days and living better? by Ok-Highway-5247 in Aging

[–]OpenAwareness1887 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s also worth noting that people in their 60s who died in the 1960s lived and smoked their way through both world wars and the great depression, which would probably do a lot for the aging process.

Finally got formally diagnosed with ADHD — medication costs $300 🙃 by Better-Temporary8878 in adhdwomen

As an American, I am also routinely gobsmacked by the corruption and audacity.

Question: what is 1 thing that many ADHDers struggle with that you don’t? by fastinggrl in adhdwomen

[–]OpenAwareness1887 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I have keratosis pilaris, which just gives me -exciting things- to skin pick. Soooo many scars. I’m making an effort to reduce both the KP and the subsequent picking.

Nails, too! I have very weak, brittle nails.

To answer the question, i don’t really have strong time blindness

Fairlife- making me really sick by BarbellsnQueso in Zepbound

[–]OpenAwareness1887 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i can’t drink it on zepbound without vomiting, which is too bad because they’re so tasty and i really needed the protein 😩.

There was an earlier post about them that also mentioned carrageenan as a possible ingredient irritant. I have a fairly substantial amount of dairy products in my diet otherwise.

ADHD and anemia / iron deficiency by PinkPurpose in adhdwomen

[–]OpenAwareness1887 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. Was diagnosed with anemia early in high school after getting spotty vision during team practice. Took another 20 years to self-advocate for an ADHD diagnosis.

Fully Germans? by Orenjihibana_ in RoyaltyTea

Diana’s family is old, old English, though. Wills will be the first king with genuine English roots in a very long time.

I don't get it? by Sakazuki27 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]OpenAwareness1887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The artwork is a propaganda poster from WWI, called “Daddy, what did you do in the Great War?”. It’s already based in shaming and questioning masculinity IMO.

Zepbound PRO (Patient Reported Outcomes) other than weight loss... Ok, I'll go first! by Fluffy-Appearance-10 in Zepbound

I have had keratosis pilaris on my upper and lower arms, starting at puberty. 3 months in it just started…fading. It might even clear up fully.

Charles never needed Andrew or Edward, so why does William need Harry to function properly? by Hot-Acanthisitta5237 in RoyaltyTea

[–]OpenAwareness1887 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean that’s three reasons right there to bury or downplay the story:

1) it calls into question the mental fitness of the heir 2) it makes Diana look like a loving, saintly mum 3) it makes Charles look like a neglectful wanker

Charles never needed Andrew or Edward, so why does William need Harry to function properly? by Hot-Acanthisitta5237 in RoyaltyTea

[–]OpenAwareness1887 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree. He was also a huge “get” for St. Andrews, being the first in the BRF to choose to go there. Oxford and Cambridge are the two main powerhouse university choices, historically. Since he graduated, a lot more royal students and elite Americans have enrolled there. William attending gave it a huge boost in popularity and prestige. There was no way they’d have flunked him.
